Ianto

As I walked into the Hub, I noticed three people staring at me. Owen, Tosh and Gwen all looks confused as they saw me walk across the Hub and over to the coffee machine. I payed no attention as I set about making the coffee, pretending that they were working like every other day. Why were they staring at me, I hear you ask? Well, it all had to do with the fact that I wasn't in a suit like I normally was. I was simply wearing black jeans, a red t-shirt, a black jacket and old, worn trainers. It was strange for me wearing my normal clothes around the team, since I was used to being in a suit. I mean, the last time I was wearing normal clothes...well, we were attacked by cannibals. Since that day I swore never to wear jeans and a t-shirt around them again...just stick to my suits. Well, that and to never go into the countryside ever again.

Jack was the only one who knew why I wasn't in my usual attire... He was the one that practically forced me to wear this, instead of my suit. Just like my dear team mates, you're probably wondering why. Well, truth was...Jack was actually meeting my family after work and my family haven't seen me in a suit unless it was an occasion that deemed I wore one. Plus, it would look strange if I came from work in a suit, since they now knew what it was I actually did – not that I wanted them too, it just sort of happened...don't ask how, too strange, too messy, to alien-y. But of course, I wasn't going to enlighten the team and I had asked Jack to keep quiet about it too. Owen, Tosh and Gwen didn't really knew we were in a proper relationship yet and if they knew Jack was meeting my family for the first time...well, I don't really want to think what would happen for the rest of the day.


For the whole day, everyone – bar Jack – took it in turns to bug me about my clothing choice. Each time I threatened them with de-cafe for a month. It worked. Until an hour later it would start up again and go on for two and a half hours. I ended up hiding away in the Archives, everyone knowing that they were not allowed down there without my expressed permission and supervision, even if I was already down there. It wasn't my fault I didn't trust them...I mean, they can hardly keep the main Hub tidy, so I dread to think what they would do to my Archives. Yes, I know I'm quite OCD and rather obsessive...but it was hardly my fault.

"Ianto, please just tell us." Tosh begged, as I handed out coffee.

"We'll be out of your hair then." Gwen added.

"No." I replied simply, as I handed Jack his mug.

Surprisingly, he decided to join the rest of us in the main Hub, leaning against the wall as he watched the girls beg and whine as I refused to let them in on my secret. Owen, even though he still wanted to know, didn't seem too fussed whether or not I revealed anything. He most likely thought that it would all come out sooner or later.

"Why won't you tell us?" Tosh asked.

"Because I don't really want to." I replied, quietly, not making eye contact as I went to put the tray back in its rightful place.

"Why not?" Gwen asked.

"Look, I know I'm fascinating, but practically demanding to know why I do every little thing is taking the fascination a little too far." I replied jokingly, smirking slightly. "Don't you think?"

"We're not demanding." Tosh protested. "Are we?"

"Yes, you are." Owen piped in, blunt as ever.

Tosh blushed slightly, but Gwen didn't seem fazed. I rolled my eyes. Typical police officer...even if she didn't work for the police anymore. Sighing, I walked over the coat hanger near the entrance of the Hub, hanging my black jacket up. As I turned back around, I just had four pairs of eyes staring at me.

"What?" I asked, confused.


"Is that really why you were all staring?" I asked coyly, blushing madly, as Jack and I made our way to my car at the end of the day.

"Of course." Jack beamed. "Well, where I'm from, you see a sexy guy wearing tight skinny jeans and an almost tighter t-shirt, you take pictures. Or you shag him. Or both."

I felt the heat rise to my cheeks, colouring them even more as I slid into the driver's side of my car, pulling my keys out of my jeans pocket.

"I, of course, want to do both." Jack added. "But I'll wait."

I rolled my eyes fondly at the immortal in the passenger's seat, unable to keep myself from smiling slightly. As I started my car, I had to admit that I was positively frightened. Sure, they knew Jack was a guy. And sure, Rhiannon knew who he was and had heard of him already – probably caught a glimpse of him already. But the rest of my family that were here in Cardiff...well, I was still worried – even if they did say they were fine with Jack being a guy. Jack seemed to notice my unease, since he put his hand on my knee and squeezed gently.

"Everything will be fine." Jack told me, no amusement in his voice what so ever.

I glanced quickly at his face. He looked serious, determined and calm. He grinned slightly when I relaxed in my seat a little, as I continued to drive. I breathed deeply as I turned round a corner, continuing towards Rhiannon's house. This was going to be a long night. A very long night.
