Jack rested his feet on the meeting table in the hub. Just an hour until they would all come flooding through the front gate ready to start a day. Jack would watch the clock and usually wait while remembering all those good times back in World War 2. If he had never saved Rose Tyler from falling from the helicopter...perhaps he would be here now. He wouldn't change that for the world though. He suddenly heard a loud noise. No one could possibly be here this early? He toppled over trying to hide from whoever walked in. He put his head slightly above the glass and watched Ianto walk in. He always hated how his Ianto always tried to be early. Jack stood up with a sigh and straighted his jacket. He smiled and walked out, "Morning, Ianto."

Ianto set a bag of food down on a counter, "Mornin' sir."

"How many times do I have to tell you to drop the sir." Jack said with a smirk as he neared him. He was now only a few inches from his face. Ianto smiled, "I know you like it."

"What's in the bag?" Jack asked taking a step towards the food instead. "Hibernation." Ianto answered, "There is a snowstorm outside so I took the liberty of contacting the team to tell them they could either stay at home or hibernate in here. Needless to say, they all stayed at home. So I brought food for us."

"You stayed for me Ianto? How sweet." Jack grinned peeking inside the bag, "But you do know, even if staying inside on a snow day is protocol, we could still go outside and have some fun."

Ianto looked up, "Fun."

Jack smirked, "Yes, fun!" Ianto gulped, "You know I don't like your definition of fun."

Jack put a hand on Ianto's shoulder, "Have ye little faith." He walked over to a closet and grabbed another jacket and mitten, "Put these on, oh and this." He reached in the closet again and brought out a scarf, "It's going to be cold."

Jack grabbed a black satchel that was also in the closet. Ianto raised an eyebrow, "May I ask what's in your bag?"

"You'll see." Jack replied with a queer smile. He lead Ianto out of the hub and up onto the sidewalk lift or as Jack liked to call it "The invisible lift." Ianto was immediatly shivering when the lift reached the top. Jack wrapped his arms around him, "If you ever get to cold you can always come to me, I'm always warm."

Ianto pulled away playfully, "No one is warm in this weather."

"You'd be surprised." Jack answered heading out onto the desolate street. Ianto followed him hurriedly, "Where are we going?"

Jack grinned back at him actually making Ianto feel warmer, "Somewhere where there isn't a public display."

Ianto looked around, "But there isn't anyone out here."

"Yah but there could be that one person who comes out of their home to grab their mail and sees two grown men building a snowman and eating snowcones. We'd be a laughing stalk."

"You want me to build a snowman with you?" Ianto stuttered. Jack nodded, "And eat snow cones. In private though."

"Jack, why?"

"I don't know. It'll make us feel young again."

"Sure," Ianto started with a chuckle, "But where?"

Jack pointed over there in the park, "No one would ever go here in the winter."

The two made their way through feets of snow and finally found themselves in the center of the park, "I'm exhausted already," Ianto breathed placing two hands on his knees. He was breathing heavily. Jack threw his bag down, "Have you ever built a snow man Ianto?"

Ianto shook his head and started pushing some snow together, "Would you hate me if I said no?"

"No," Jack said with a smile, "I'd love you even more. I finally get to teach someone how to build a snowman, and that," Jack took Ianto's hand to stop him, "Is not how you build a snowman."

Jack made a snowball, "You have to make one of these and then you have to roll it out on the ground until it's the size of Owen's head, so about this."

This made Ianto laugh, "Owen's head isn't that big."

Jack grinned, "You know it is. Now, you make another one the size of Tosh's head, and another one the size of Gwen's little head." Jack did so. "That's how I always remember it."

Ianto smiled, "I'm glad you didn't make fun of my head." Jack laughed, "I get to see your beautiful face everyday. I would never make fun of it." Jack kissed his forehead lighty and turned around. "Okay, find me two sticks about the same length."

Ianto did as he was ordered and headed out around the trees. Meanwhile, Jack took some buttons from a back of buttons he brought in his satchel. He also brought out a carrot. He put two Buttons for eyes and small buttons for the mouth. He stuck the carrot in the middle of the face. Ianto brought out the two sticks. Jack took them and stuck them in the side of the snowman. "Kind of look like you."

"Shut up." Ianto shoved Jack lightly with a red face. "That's how you build a snowman. See? It's not that hard."

Jack took his satchel and brought out two cone shaped snowcone containers, "What's this?" Ianto asked. Jack smiled, "My favorite after work treat if it's snowing my dear Ianto. Snowcones."

"Do you actually have Snowcone formula?" Ianto asked surprised. Jack raised an eyebrow, "Don't make it sound so...smart. It's just snowcone flavors. I always bring them with me, right here, if it's snowing."

Ianto nodded and leaned over Jack's shoulder to peer inside his bag, "What flavors do you have?"

Jack brought out three, "Lemon, Green Apple, and Strawberry."

"Green Apple please." Ianto said. Jack nodded, "Good choice. You wanna make it?"

"Sure!" Ianto grinned and took the green apple flavoring. He walked around to find some clean snow. "Don't put any snow with dirt in yours, you might get an infection."

"I'm a grown man Jack, I know." Ianto answered. Jack made a strawberry one for himself and the two made there way back over to each other. "Is it good?" Jack asked. Ianto was in the middle of eating his, "Yes it is. Thank you."

Jack put an arm around him, "No need to thank me. We had a day off. We were just doing whatever we liked." Ianto smiled up at him, "Yes, sir."
