This is a prompt fic for scout girl as she asked nicely.
Ianto Jones. He was handsome, mysterious and seemed like he had a barrel full of angst. Yet, to Jack, Ianto Jones was so much more and so much different. The team hadn't seen him with his masks down, his armour removed. When that happens, Ianto Jones is so much more. Jack grinned as he remembered the date he and Ianto had attended after the whole thing with Captain John, he had seemed hesitant at first, like a mouse in a house full of cats. Though when the young man had seen his date in a bright purple suit he had laughed, Jack loved that laugh and had vowed to hear it again. He smiled as he thought back to the other night, the night he had seen the real Ianto Jones.
Jack looked over as he saw the impeccable suit the young man that was his date wore … he knew he looked a right joke, but that was the point. He wanted to make Ianto Jones laugh and happy. The normally quite, reserved and straight faced receptionist only had to take one good glance at Jack before laughing, making jack grin widely and drag him in the restaurant, getting the young man through the crowd as they stared at the laughing man.
"Ianto, I know I look funny … but not that funny," Jack finally said after at least 5 minutes of laughing. He sighed as the young man in the seat before him still laughed, "You know, it's not all that funny. I remember a time I dyed your favourite suit pink and yellow … never saw me laughing at you when you wore it."
Ianto stopped laughing and chocked slightly as he remembered that. "Actually Jack, you did. You laughed when Owen called me 'a great big fucking poof'" Ianto said and looked back at him with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah well … I had to, or else my reputation would have been seriously harmed," he said and pouted a little before bursting out in laugher with Ianto. They laughed until they realised they were disturbing the people around them and tried to stop, giving out a small giggle at the thought, "well, order what you want, I don't mind," he said and picked up a menu, grinning at an old couple who looked at him strange, "What? Haven't you seen a purple suit before?" He asked and smiled more, flashing his teeth a little to make sure they looked away.
Ianto chuckled a little and slapped Jack's hand. "Stop harassing the other customers." He said sternly but still had a monster grin on his face. One that Jack saved to his memory, he thought it was so cute.
"Jack … I was wondering, its 10 o'clock and uh well, I … no we, we wondering if we could go home." Came a small voice from the doorway, Jack looked up and smiled at the petite woman who stood there, coat already over her shoulders.
"Of course Tosh, just remember to be in tomorrow." He said and smiled as Tosh gave him a smile and walked off down to tell Gwen and Owen they could go. He sighed a little as he saw them leave and wondered if Ianto had already gone. He looked at his desk again and went back to his thoughts before.
"Excuse me Sir, would you like a coffee?" A welsh accent asked, flittering from the doorway and reaching Jack's ears. Making the man grin Jack nodded.
"Yes please, and uh many I ask, is there anything else on the menu?" He asked and grinned, knowing Ianto would know what he went and knew he did when the younger man blushed a little.
"Of course Sir, but that comes after." The young man said and went to the kitchenette to make the coffee he had offered.
