Ianto Jones woke up to another day at work. He spent the first few hours doing his usual morning routine, showering, and shaving, breakfast whilst watching the previous day's eastenders from his sky planner, tidying up and then going to his job. Well, it wasn't his usual routine as usually he got to go into the bathroom, about to shower before his boss and boyfriend called him up because of some disaster. If it wasn't jack, it was Tosh or Gwen that was on the phone, so doing his daily routine was a rarity. But today, he got to do the full routine. He walked out of the door, not realising the date.
He lived near the front entrance of his work. The plan was to have a usual day at work. He was going to do his usual paperwork, making the team their tea, then lunch, then his "meeting" with his boss, jack, then back to paperwork. Except he worked for torchwood, so it was even rarer for him to have a usual day at work than it was for him to do his usual morning routine. And for the 2 to happen together, almost impossible. In his 18 months of working there, in the 564 days he had only ever had one "usual day". Jack said that was lucky, he claimed to have gone 9562 days in a row where routine was thrown out the window during his time working for torchwood.
So imagine Ianto's surprise when he got to mid-day without a crisis. And then imagine the fact that when all the computers went down at 12.02, the absence of surprise. He walked casually over to Tosh's station, to see her working on it. He always liked Toshiko; she was the only one who hadn't been mean to him while he was there.
"Any ideas why the computers are down?" jack asked, as he, Gwen and Owen came over
"No, it says there is a code 3252518, but there is no such thing" Tosh explained "you 4 go to lunch, bring me back a meat feast and I will try and get this sorted"
"Ok, see you after lunch"
"Have fun" Gwen said, as she, jack and Owen went to lunch. Ianto stayed
"Do you need a hand?" ianto offered "ive orderd a pizza, so im in anyway"
"I'm fine. This sort of thing is a one-person job." Tosh said gently "thanks for the offer though. Are you ok Ianto? We all thought you would be... well... you know"
"What do you mean?" Ianto asked
"Well... doesn't matter, just me being stupid." Tosh said "anyway, I had better get on with this, or Owen and the others won't let me hear the end of it"
"Good luck then." Ianto said and returned to his station. Ianto should have known then, this was too simple. There was no way that the disturbance would just be a computer malfunction, not in torchwood and not when his day had gone that well so far.
