"Happy Birthday, Ianto" Tosh yelled as the cog door rolled closed behind her. Ianto smiled as a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist immediately.
"Happy Birthday" Jack breathed in his ear, making Ianto shiver.
"God, thirty years old" Ianto smiled, "That's a triumph in this job"
"And you don't look a day over 29"
Ianto laughed, turning in Jack's arms and wrapping his arms around Jack's neck.
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Jack"
Jack leaned in, pausing when he was just an inch from Ianto's lips.
"hmm, I bet" he murmured smugly, "I'm pretty sure It'll get me somewhere"
He chastely kissed Ianto's soft lips, stroking his cheek tenderly. Ianto sighed contently, and Jack grinned and pulled back, much to Ianto's annoyance.
"Okay" he grumbled, "Flattery can get you further than that"
Jack chuckled, "Oh really?" he smirked, "How much further?"
Neither one of them heard the rather distinctive sound of the TARDIS approaching. At least, if they did they showed no signs of it. It was because of this that the sight that met the Doctor as he entered Jack's office may haunt him for a few decades.
"Woah!" he yelled, slapping a hand over his eyes, "Okay, um, I'll wait outside, you two come see me when you're, um......done"
With that he walked out of the office, his face a picture of horror and embarrassment. In fact, it was quite similar to the look on Ianto's face at that moment. Ianto desperately tried to locate his shirt, finally finding it thrown across a lampshade. Jack was a lot calmer, casually putting on his shirt but leaving it undone.
"Bloody Hell, bloody Hell, bloody hell" Ianto muttered under his breath as he dressed, occasionally throwing in a few welsh swear words.
"Calm down, Ianto" Jack was smirking, "It's not as if this is the first time we've been caught"
Ianto glared at him, "That doesn't make it any less embarrassing, Jack"
Jack walked over and grabbed his hand, "Come on, let's face the music"
He was still smiling smugly as they walked into the main part of the Hub to find the Doctor, who was slumped across the sofa, grinning up at them.
"Hello, Boys!" he winked, causing Ianto to blush. Jack chuckled, wrapping a secure arm around Ianto's waist.
"What can we do for you, Doc?" He asked, "I'm guessing you're not just popping in"
"Well, Jacky boy, it's actually something I can do for you" he smiled, "Tell me, Ianto Jones, it's your birthday today, yes?"
Ianto nodded, still not quite meeting the doctor's eyes.
"Well, I decided to come give my good friend Ianto a birthday present"
Ianto looked confused, "um...thank you, but you came all this way just to give me a present?"
"Oh, it's one Hell of a present though" he grinned. "Come with me a minute" he gestured for him to follow him into the TARDIS.
He reluctantly headed for the big blue box, Jack close behind him.
"Woah, there, Jacky, where're you going?" the doctor laughed, placing a hand on his chest.
Jack blinked, "What?"
"It's IANTO'S birthday present, Jack!" he insisted, "So IANTO get's to see it first"
"Fine" Jack grumbled.
The Doctor triumphantly pulled Ianto into the TARDIS, shutting the door behind them.
"So what do you think?" he gestured at the vast interior of the TARDIS.
"It's amazing" Ianto smiled, "Is this my present?"
"Ianto Jones, how tight do you think I am?!" He laughed, "No, of course not!" he casually flicked a switch, and the TARDIS jolted into life, causing Ianto to stumble.
From outside, Jack, realising what was happening, ran to the door. He gasped as he found the door to be locked.
"Doctor! Where're you taking him? DOCTOR!"
He hammered on the TARDIS door, his hands doing nothing to prevent the TARDIS slowly fading away, off to another world or another time. Jack slumped to the floor, confused and upset. Of course, he trusted the Doctor with his life, and he knew he could never put Ianto in danger, but a part of him felt that something was very wrong. But there was nothing he could do, except wait, yet again, for his doctor.
Next Chapter coming soon, I promise. Okay, I know it seems pretty pointless right now, but I swear it's leading somewhere, and Janto fans will hopefully love it! :)
