Ianto walked happily across the sunny plaza. The sun beating down on his back,suit jacket held in his hand waistcoat unfastened. It was a very hot day..a little too hot to be trapped underground all day.
Ianto got to the tourist office door slipped the key into the lock. Unlocked it as slowly as possible just so it didn't look like he was purposely wasting time. He opened the door and stepped over the threshold to be met by Jack in a pair of jeans and a silk red shirt hanging loosely over his waistband. Ianto looked Jack up and down then met his face and noticing the glint in his eyes he smiled.
"Going somewhere nice sir?" He asked politely but grinning as he said it.
"I am in-fact i have a date" Jack said grinning widely.
"Oh....going anywhere nice?.." Ianto replied moving around the desk to go behind the bead curtain to hang his coat when he noticed a picnic basket out of the corner of his eye with his jeans and purple silk shirt layed on top and a small red envelope on top of stood grinning to himself in the tourist office just waiting for Ianto to reappear.
Ianto walked over to the envelope and picked it up noticing the perfect calligraphy I on the front and smiled. He slipped the deep red sheet of paper from the envelope and opened it gently to be met by more beautifully calligraphic writing in gold this time. It simply said [ you...me...picnic on the beach? please wear the jeans xx] Ianto chuckled a little smiling happily. He didn't say anything just started to get changed he slid of his suit pants and replaced them with the jeans he'd been given, fastening the studded belt that had already been placed through the loops, he then traded his red shirt he had been wearing smiling as the smooth silk slid against his skin. He picked up the basket and went back out into the tourist office.
"Nice choice of date..Jack" Ianto said smiling.
Jack leant back against the wall grinning broadly. Jack looked ianto up and down the smiled.
"I take this as your happy to come of your own will and I'm not going to have to carry you there" Jack said giving a small giggle.
"Of course who would refuse a date with you to the beach Jack" Ianto replied picking up the basket and moving around the desk to meet Jack leant against the wall on the other side. That's when Jack noticed Ianto's work shoes sticking out of the bottom of his jeans.
"Ianto you are not wearing those shoes are you?" Jack said bursting into laughter.
"why whats wrong with my shoes?" Ianto said looking down at them.
"Its just....never mind come on I'm bored of standing" Jack took the basket from Ianto's hand then slid his hand into its place and they strolled out of the tourist office door. They clambered into the SUV and drove the short distance to the sea still hand in hand rested on the gear stick. They clambered out Jack grabbed the basket again and dragged Ianto by the hand hastily towards the sand rather ike an excited child.
Jack layed out a blanket and placed the basket on it, before sitting on it himself and sprawling out across it, toeing of his shoes to place his feet in the sand.
Ianto sat down grumpily on the blanket.
Jack turned to look at him. "whats the matter Yan?"
"Theres so much sand" Ianto said huffing loudly.
"Well yes it wouldn't be called a beach if there was no sand" Jack grinned back at him.
"Its going to go everywhere" Ianto huffed.
"Depends on what you mean by everywhere?" Jack asked eyebrows raised.
"I meant in the food Jack that simple" Ianto said eyeing the basket.
Jack glanced at it...."oh you mean this"...he opened the basket to reveal not food but a frisbee a set of snorkels and a bottle of suncream 2 sets of sunglasses price tags still attached and one fluffy towel.
Ianto fell back onto the blanket giggling like there was no tomorrow.
"Only you Jack only you." He managed to get out through laughing.
"What? i thought i might be able to bribe you out of that shirt for a day"
"JACK U TOLD ME TO PUT THIS SHIRT ON" Ianto yelled a bit loudly.
"Thats because i just wanted to stare at you in the SUV and it made us cutely match" he giggled pointing at his own shirt.
Ianto pounced onto the top of him pinning him into the sand.
"Ill never take this shirt of all day" He growled staring into Jacks brilliantly blue eyes.
Jack lifted his hips up and pressed them into the young welshman.
"How about your pants?" Jack questioned eyebrows raised.
"Only if you take me home" Ianto replied also pressing down into him.
"Not if i just..."
"NO"Ianto yelled before Jack had even finished.
"But...." jack said pressing his hips up into Ianto again.
Ianto jumped up pulling jack up to looking down at his opened buttons and his shirt flapping softly in the slight breeze. He just grinned then pulled on Jacks hand pulling him up into a fireman's lift over his shoulder and running towards the sea. Jack realised what he was about to do.
"IANTO DONT YOU DARE" Ianto just kept laughing and running.
"WHAT ABOUT THE SHIRTS THERE SILK THERE GONNA BE RUINED" Ianto ignored him reached the sea and threw him in. Jack spluttered to the surface and grabbed Ianto's shoulder pulling him under the water too.
They both reached the surface again laughing,silk shirts clinging to them Jacks hands resting on Iantos hips keeping him close, hair plastered to his head he reached a hand up and ran his fingers through it.
"You are beautiful Ianto Jones you know that" Jack grinned.
"Don't make me push you back under again you like you might need another cooling off" Ianto giggled turning to trudge back out of the water his jeans now heavy and clinging to his hips the silk shirt stuck to his back. Jack followed just watching the water drip from Ianto's jeans watching the cool silk dry out against his skin. Ianto flopped down onto the blanket again Jack falling down after him several minutes later but covered on sand. Ianto looked again yes completely covered in sand.
"Jack what happened to you why are you so covered in sand you were right behind me" Ianto questioned curiously.
"I I ...."*jack mumbled something just under his breath*
"What was that couldn't quite catch it" Ianto said smirking softly.
" I got distracted watching your ass with those wet jeans clinging to it and a kid hit me in the head with a frisbee and i fell" he said again a little louder this time.
"I'd kiss you if u wernt so covered in sand" Ianto said still giggling at Jack absaloutely caked in sand.
Jack sighed heavily "I don't like the beach anymore .....can we go home....please...i have sand in a place i really don't need sand"
Ianto smiled Then i suggest we get you toweled off a bit and ill drive home.."
Jack just grinned deal "I love to watch you drive"
"I know come on" Ianto pulled Jack up took hold of his hand and they walked back up the beach slowly to where they'd parked the SUV.
Ianto drove slowly even taking the long route home just to give him a little more time to stare at Jack in the car squirming uncomfortably against sand he had trapped in places he wished it wasn't trapped.
"Turn here" Jack said suddenly.
Ianto swerved in the direction he'd said to turn and looked at Jack curiously.
"where are you taking us?"
".....home..." was all Jack replied hesitantly.
"But my flats 3 blocks over" Ianto exclaimed.
"I know I have a house....I...Just don't like to share that fact with alot of people" Jack answered looking at his sandy boots making a mess of the SUV.
"Your taking me to....Your house.." Ianto asked a little confused.
Jack just nodded. After a few more randomly yelled directions from Jack they pulled up outside of an old Victorian semi-detached house. Jack bounded out of the SUV and up to front door Ianto carefully locked the SUV then followed to stand behind Jack on the step. Jack turned slowly holding a golden key in his left hand he took hold of Iantos hand softly.
"Ianto Jones would you do me the pleasure of moving in with me?"
"...er....i.."
"please say yes" Jack said placing the key in Ianto's hand and closing his fingers around it.
"I will" replied Ianto taking hold of Jacks chin and kissing him softly before pulling back a slightly disapproved look on his face.
"You taste like sand and seawater" Ianto exclaimed scrunching up his face.
Jack picked him up opened the front door to the house and carried him upstairs and threw him onto the bed kissing him hastily.
"welcome home" Jack said staring into his eyes.
"its nice to be home" Ianto grinned noticing the sparkle it brought to Jacks still slightly damp slightly sandy face.
