A/N: This was writen last summer when I was meant to be revising. Posted already on LJ but thought may as well post here too!

July 2006
A post-it note stuck to Ianto's P45 form.
"My P45 Sir. I know you severed all links but still, one would have thought a 'Top Secret Government Institution' would have better inter-departmental organisational skills."
Jack smiled as he detached the sticky note. Ianto's dry sense of humour never failed to make him smile and every day of the last 2 weeks made him all the more thankful Ianto had been so persistent. He turned to head back out of the door and ask Ianto to file the P45.

August 2006
"Sir, PLEASE ask Owen to stop feeding the pterodactyl chips"

September 2006
Ianto walked up to Jack's office. It was empty. Looking at his watch he sighed the Captain said he would be back from his trip to London by 11:00, the time was now 11:45. Pulling a clean sheet of paper he scribbled a note.
"Sir, As requested I noted the times Suzie left during you're trip Tuesday 7:30, Wednesday 6:15, Thursday, as you know we all left late due to a Weevil related incident but in case you're interested approx 1:30, Today 8:25. Hope the trip went well and you're not back too late. Ianto."
Ianto left the note on the desk, carried out a final check on Lisa and went home. When Jack finally returned the first thing he noticed was the neatly written note on his desk. He absently ran his hand through his hair. Suzie had seemed distracted recently but this seemed normal behaviour for Torchwood employees. Wondering how long Ianto had waited Jack screwed the note up and threw it in the bin.

October 2006
"Sir, you were right PC Cooper tried to fight the retcon by making notes on her computer. I successfully hacked and deleted the information."

November 2006
"Sir no luck finding an explanation for the energy surges in the lower areas - perhaps it's a fault with the main electrical grid?"

January 2007
"Re: your question the other day: How come no matter what colour bubble bath you use the bubbles always end up white? "Actually bubbles are clear, and act as a prism, separating the light, and producing a rainbow."
Jack laughed out loud and moved to the window holding up the note. Ianto looked up and they made eye contact Jack smiled at Ianto. The younger man merely raised his eyebrows at Jack causing him to chuckle and turn away.

February 2007
"On request from other members of the team I have changed the regular pizza order to vege-supreme."

March 2007
Jack walked into the hub kitchen and did a double-take. A large label had been stuck to the new coffee maker.
"DO NOT TOUCH.
If you're that desperate there is instant "coffee" in the cupboard
JACK - THIS MEANS YOU"
Jack pouted and turned to the door. "IANTO" he yelled. Ianto sighed and made his way over to the doorway.
"Sir?" Jack moved to the side and pointed to the machine. "Its a coffee maker sir, you should know you broke the last one and signed the expense claim for a new one."
"I know what it is, I'm referring to the rather unsubtle label"
"Ahh that" Growing more frustrated Jack narrowed his eyes slightly
"Yes that"
"Well you did break the old one." Ianto replied looking stern. Despite his caffeine withdrawal that look mad Jack want to pin Ianto to the wall. He changed tactics.
"So you're putting me on instant?" he pouted.
"That's right" Jack continued staring at him and Ianto rolled his eyes moving into the kitchen to start the coffee maker "Go back to work I'll be up in 5."
Jack's face broke into a grin "Thank you!" He lunged forward pulling Ianto into a quick hug and kissing him on the cheek. Ianto pushed him away looking around cautiously.
"We're at work" Jack had the grace to look apologetic and after saying sorry he went back to work. Secretly Ianto smiled after him pulling the coffee beans out of the cupboard.
