Ianto stepped through the cog door into the dark Hub. It was late, just past midnight but he couldn't sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes he saw one of two things. Lisa was killing Jack or he was waking up to Jack kissing him. Both of them frightened him half to death. Lisa killing Jack because she would never have really done that if it wasn't for the cyberisation and waking up to Jack kissing him because it felt so good. He'd expected to be alone in the Hub but then he noticed Jack was sitting on the sofa in the corner. "Hey," Jack greeted him "It's a bit early in the day to be coming to work." Ianto smiled.
"Or a bit late, depending on how you look at it." Jack grinned at Ianto and patted the sofa next to him, gesturing for Ianto to sit down. Ianto did, careful not to touch the older man. He didn't know whether he would him Jack or kiss him if Jack even touched him lightly. "So…could you not sleep then?" Jack asked.
"No, I couldn't. You?"
"No, I couldn't either," Jack shrugged "It's not exactly like I leave after work anyway." Ianto frowned, confused.
"I don't understand Sir," he said truthfully and Jack frowned.
"I live here. I thought that was obvious." Ianto shrugged, unsure of what to say. There was silence for a moment. "Do you want a coffee?" Jack asked suddenly "I mean, I know it's late but…" Ianto smirked.
"You're asking me if I want a coffee Sir. In, technically, your house?"
"Yeah…I am," Jack answered slowly, unsure of where Ianto was heading with the conversation. Ianto laughed.
"Are you trying to seduce me Sir?" Jack tilted his head slightly.
"Yes. I suppose I am," he replied calmly. Ianto was speechless with surprise. Jack smiled slightly and pressed his lips to Ianto's gently for a second before drawing back. Ianto breathed in deeply. "Sir…would you…would you mind trying that again?" he asked quietly. Jack's eyes widened, he hadn't been expecting such a calm reaction.
"Sure…" He pressed his lips to Ianto's again but this time it was different. Ianto kissed him back. First gently but becoming forceful, his tongue forcing Jack's mouth open with unhidden desire and his hands moving into Jack's hair. Jack pulled back, breathing heavily; not wanting to push Ianto too far but the younger man wasn't finished. Ianto pulled Jack's face towards his own, kissing him with such ferocity that Jack moaned. The Welshman pulled back at this, smirking. "Goodnight Sir," he said, standing up and trying to hide the happiness that was rising in his chest. Ianto walked out of the Hub, leaving Jack on the sofa to think about what just happened. He hurried home, arriving in less than 10 minutes, and sat on his own sofa grinning. Ianto thought back to the kiss, the pure bliss of Jack's lips against his own, unsure why he had walked away when Jack had obviously wanted him to stay longer. It took him a few seconds to clear his mind enough to realise why. He didn't just want to be a one night stand. He wanted to be more than that. His mobile rang and Ianto pulled it out of his pocket. Smiling when he checked the caller ID. It was Jack. Ianto felt his smile widen. This was going to be the start of a beautiful relationship.
