Chpt 1 Casual Observations

Jack liked nothing better than to stand quietly at his office door and watch Ianto.

He was in Jacks opinion an extremely watchable creature. He chuckled quietly to

himself at that last thought.

The object of his viewing pleasure was standing quietly, looking somewhat

perplexed, staring at the small pool of water that was perpetually gathered at the

base of the hubs operations centre. Jack wondered if he was remembering the

tragedy that had befallen there. Was he seeing Lisa when he looked into the

grimy water. He saw Ianto small melancholy shudder. Briefly his co-worker and

lover look in his direction, noticing him for the first time. As quickly as he made

eye contact Ianto broke it again turning once more to the pool of water.

He watched as Ianto leant down a little, though not as much as he used to, and

touch the surface before recoiling with an undignified squawk. God knows Jack

tried not to laugh at the sight but there was little he could do. He gulped quickly

as he noticed Ianto turn with a look of fury on his face, his beady eyes blazing

with annoyance. He walked forward and helped Ianto up. Jack had been with

many creatures in his time, tall, short, blue, pink and green, quadrupeds, bipeds

and tentacled but he would be the first to admit that Ianto held a special place in

his heart, this beautiful, brave and loyal man recently rather unfortunately turned penguin.
