Ianto startled and quickly racked his brain to remember if either he or Jack had ever explained the whole John Hart fiasco to Akihiko. He vaguely remembered explaining Gray to someone, but was it the younger man in front of him?
"Captain John Hart," Ianto explained. "Back when Jack was in the Time Agency, he was partnered with Hart, and Hart seemed to harbor some, er, feelings for Jack. And apparently they parted on less than spectacular terms, because Hart came looking for him about two years ago. When Jack turned him down again, he went to find Gray to get into Jack's good books. But, it kind of backfired, Gray being insane, and Tosh and Owen ended up dying in the process. Hart wasn't entirely to blame and we weren't...we were otherwise occupied, so he kind of slipped away to explore the 21st century."
"But he's back," Ianto continued. "He resurfaced, on the community of all places, about a week or so ago. And..." He trailed off, not used to such long explanations. "I mean, he has feelings for Jack, but he's thrown him off buildings, shot him to death, buried--..." He cut himself off abruptly. Even two years after the fact, Ianto had a hard time dealing with what exactly it meant to be buried alive at all, let alone for that long...
"Let's just say that I'm not exactly pleased about him turning up again," he concluded.
