No one seems to be giving Ianto enough credit. Why is there this assumption that Ianto is madly, puppy love crazy about Jack? Were there scenes where Ianto started bringing Jack flowers and candy and writing sonnets about his undying love that I missed?
Well, putting aside the coat-sniffing and general "Jack needs me" stuff from series 1, there's the wounded-puppy look on his face when he asks Jack if he's going back to the Doctor and the lead-up to the TTLM kiss, which is completely, "please don't leave me," not to mention the stink-eye he was giving Martha when Jack was sparkling at her. And he didn't look very happy about Jack's goo-goo eyes at Gwen in Meat, either.
Let's throw in his words during the Last Supper scene in Adam and I think you've got a Ianto is clearly IN LOVE with Jack and has been consistently portrayed that way.
What hasn't been consistent and is creating the ship war craziness is Jack's differing attitudes and responses over the course of the 2nd series which have been all over the map.
