It was a cold November day. Jack Harkness stood outside the Torchwood Hub, a shivering Ianto by his side."Where's Gwen with the SUV?" Ianto said to no-one in particular,
"It's freezing out here!" They had been waiting for Gwen to return with the SUV for about 10 minutes, and Ianto was fed up of the cold. Jack's attitude didn't help. "I dunno why you're complaining, I'm nice and warm," he said, wrapping his long trench coat around him.
Ianto glared up at him. "Well, you've got that big bloody coat on!" he replied. Jack laughed before turning to the other man. "You could always share it with me," he smirked, winking suggestively. Ianto sighed. Jack was always saying things like this to him recently, and he never knew how to react. Captain Jack Harkness was a well-known flirt, in fact he flirted with anything that breathed, but it was somehow different when he did it with Ianto.
After an awkward silence, Jack cleared his throat. He had been building up to this for a while now, and decided that there was no time like the present. "Um, Ianto," he started, uncharacteristically nervous, "would you, maybe, if you're not too busy with Admin, or something," he was struggling to find the right words, "Dinner, movie, maybe a walk around the Bay?" Jack cringed, knowing how stupid he sounded. Ianto looked at the Captain, unsure what he was getting at. "What do you mean, Sir?"
Hearing the awkward conversation, a passer-by startled the two men, coming up behind them and butting in, "Oh, for God's sake, he's asking you out!" he walked on, muttering under his breath. Ianto blinked, surprised. He turned to Jack, who was now closely resembling a beetroot, and asked shyly, "really?"
Jack looked down, but was smirking as he did so. "Basically, yeah".
Ianto thought for a moment before replying, "As long as you don't grope me under the table," he said. Jack chuckled, surprised at the new side to Ianto. "I can't promise anything" he winked and turned to watch the SUV cruise into view.
