Ianto has just been about to finish packing his bags and brewing two travel bottles of coffee. He had to admit that he wasn´t good at multitasking: While he was avoiding that one of the bottles would flood the whole kitchen, he was still holding two shirts in his hand. When he has been packing he hasn´t been able to choose which one he should take with him on Jack´s and his first holiday trip. But now it wasn´t a question anymore: He would take the one without the coffee stains. Though Jack was addicted to his coffee it wouldn´t be nice to walk around with a dirty shirt that may distract him. It is enough distraction for Jack if he has Ianto around him or within his sight. And this of course wouldn´t be an advantage since Jack wanted to drive and needed to concentrate on the traffic.
It was July. Everything was calm in Cardiff even the Rift. So Jack, since he is the one in command, in many ways, decided that Torchwood could close down for a week or two. To him it seemed a great idea. He could take his Welsh boy on a trip through England. Sometimes Jack thought about the fact that it couldn´t be healthy for this young boy in suit to just sit in the Hub and go Weevil hunting from time to time. It was nearly impossible to flee the Hub or even to leave Cardiff or Wales. There was always trouble. But Jack really wanted to give Torchwood´s employees the days off they needed. Gwen was happy about that and instantly called Rhys and they also wanted to do a trip. Jack made sure that Gwen and Rhys would go somewhere else than the place he had chosen. Toshiko at first didn´t want to leave the Hub, but Jack allowed her to take one of Torchwood´s laptop with her, so she would have a connection to the data of the Rift while nobody is around. Owen just left the Hub on the last day and smirked when he put his white doctor´s coat on the rub.
Jack still felt responsible for all of them and indeed for the Hub and for Myfanwy. The pterodactyl was the most independent member of the team: It just hunted mice in the Hub to survive and it will certainly find some dark chocolate Ianto left somewhere for it.
Today was the day. The Captain had to leave his ship… eh Hub behind. When Jack tidied up his desk he opened the third drawer and took an old handwritten book from it. He decided to take his diary with him. Maybe there will be moments worth remembering in detail. Maybe? There surly will be great moments with Ianto! He smirked while putting the book into his bag. Then he left his office and locked it. He stopped before he stepped down the stairs and took a last checking look at the Hub. This view made him thinking but he soon was interrupted by a big thing that flew around the Hub. "You got me there, Myfanwy. The Captain can´t leave behind his crew for just a few days." Stepping down the stairs he erased all his thoughts about a possible incident that could happen while he is not around. When he reached the door that leads to Ianto´s "tourist office" he thought about his lover in his suit, reddish shirt and tie. The very thought about Ianto´s appearance made him hurry. He was eager to be with him. So he left and took the keys for the SUV. Since he is the boss he is allowed to take this big black car with the non-transparent windows whenever he wanted to.
Jack had packed his bag thoughtfully. He put in some comfy shoes, different shirts (but not the bluish-greenish one Ianto doesn´t like) and his short-sleeved jacket that made him look even gayer in his opinion. And of course his second coat. Nobody knows that Jack owns two coats but after all the years he lived he had to admit that even this timeless piece of fabric was not unaffected by time like he was.
With a smirk on his face he drove to Ianto´s flat to pick him up. Ianto was ready to leave and waited in the aisle, looked at himself in the mirror and thought about the trip. The doorbell rang. Ianto opened and saw a tall man in coat with a sassy smile on his face. "Wanna join me on a trip in my big black car, pretty boy?"
"Gyda phleser!" (With pleasure) responded the pretty boy and blushed. The older one slipped very close to Ianto through the door into the aisle and took the bags. He turned around to bring the bags into the car and saw some blue eyes looking straight, well not straight, into his eyes. "Made some coffee for the ride" mumbled the one in the suit. "You fulfil all my dreams instantly" said Jack smiling and kissing Ianto on the cheek. They put everything into the car and took their seats. Ianto sat there in excitement: "So, you hi-jacking me then?" – "Of course! You may know me as Jack the hi-jacker. I won´t tell you where we go. And when we arrive I will do things with you …", Jack joked. "At first I need to tie you up!" Jack grabbed Ianto´s striped tie and pulled so their lips touched. Thanks to the non-transparent windows of the SUV nobody saw them. Nobody saw how passionately Jack kissed Ianto.
When the kiss was over, due to the need of breathing, Jack reached for the co-driver seatbelt and fastened it first and then his own.
