Title: Those Sweet Little Moments
Summary: Those little Janto moments we all know we want to see more of in the show. This will be an ongoing story for as long as I can keep coming up with those little moments.
I guess I could have done some of these as small little one chapter stories, but if there are some you want developed a little more I probably could probably sit down and expand some of these a little more.
Note, I live in the U.S. so some of my language and spelling may be a little different than the show, but I'll try to keep it as close to UK English as I possibly can.
Moment 1: Cold Pizza
Jack climbed out of his living quarters – a hole in the floor of his office at Torchwood – and walked up to the kitchen to find Ianto already pouring two cups of coffee. The captain enveloped the Welshman in a hug and kissed the top of his head.
"Morning." Mumbled Jack
"Good morning." Said Ianto handing a mug to Jack "Coffee?"
"You know me all to well." Said Jack "I'm a little hungry to."
"I'm not surprised." Said Ianto turning around to face Jack "We worked up an appetite last night and this morning."
"I'll say." Said Jack giving Ianto a kiss
"Do you want to go out for breakfast?" asked Ianto
"No, the others will be in any minute." Said Jack "And we should probably be here. I know there's pizza in the fridge."
"Okay." Said Ianto "I'll heat up a couple pieces."
"No." said Jack
"But I thought you wanted pizza?" questioned Ianto
"I do." Said Jack going to the fridge and taking out the box of leftover pizza "I never said I wanted it heated up."
"Cold pizza?" asked Ianto wrinkling his nose
"It's good." Said Jack placing a slice in front of Ianto who took a bite.
"Not bad." Said Ianto
"It's delicious." Said Jack devouring the slice of pizza before taking another
"I'll stick with the day old pastry." Said Ianto giving Jack a quick kiss before starting to pour three more cups of coffee right as the cog door alarm sounded to note the entrance of Tosh, Gwen, and Owen for the start of yet another day of alien scavenging.
Moment 2: Stolen Glances
"Tosh, did we figure out why the weevils have been acting so strange lately?" asked Jack
"No." said Tosh "But Owen's working on Janet seeing if it's all weevils or just the ones in the sewers. He'll give you an update soon."
"Okay." Said Jack looking up past the young woman's shoulder to Gwen and Ianto who were having a conversation, then Jack met Ianto's eyes for just a second before returning his full attention to Tosh "Sounds good, do you think you could set up a program to predict the weevil's behavior?"
"Not sure Jack," said Tosh "I'll have to wait to see what Owen finds out on how the weevil's we have are behaving."
"All right whenever you have a chance Tosh." Said Jack walking down to the vaults
A few minutes later after Jack returned from the vaults, he and Ianto met eyes for just a second once more before Jack retreated upstairs to look out over the entire hub like he often did when he was frustrated.
"You two just looked like you undressed each other." Said Gwen
"Maybe we did." smirked Ianto
"Really?" said Gwen "You looked at him for a second."
"I know." Said Ianto
"Go." Said Gwen "We'll finish this chat later sweetheart."
"Are you sure?" said Ianto
"Positive." Said Gwen and Ianto sprinted up towards the older man and she walked over to Tosh
"They really have a good thing going," said Tosh "don't they?"
"They really do." Said Gwen
"It kind of gives me hope." Said Tosh
"Owen will come to his senses darling." Said Gwen "You'll see."
Moment 3: Family Freak Out
Ianto walked into the hub Friday morning on the phone speaking in Welsh very quickly and looking very annoyed. Jack looked at Gwen who just held up her hand.
"That bad?" asked Jack
"Family stuff." Said Gwen and Jack just nodded towards Ianto who gave a slight smile as he fiddled with his phone's Bluetooth earpiece.
A few minutes later Ianto brought Jack his coffee, still on the phone. He continued to speak Welsh on the phone looking very drained for it just being eight in the morning. Ianto finally pulled the earpiece from his ear and stuck it in his pocket. Jack just held his arm out and pulled Ianto onto his lap. Ianto buried his head into Jack's shoulder before giving a very annoyed sigh.
"What happened?" asked Jack
"Both of my sisters are in complete freak out mode." Said Ianto "And they both complain to me. Tanya shouldn't be freaking out in my opinion. She was completely in the right, I personally always though the guy was an idiot scumbag."
"Who?" asked Jack
"Her now ex-boyfriend." Said Ianto "I hated him, and he wasn't even decent looking."
"Okay." Said Jack "So why's she freaking out?"
"She roundhouse kicked him in the head." Said Ianto
"Why?" asked Jack
"She caught him in bed with four woman." Said Ianto
"At the same time?" asked Jack
"Yep." Said Ianto "She broke his jaw."
"What type of shoe was she wearing?" asked Jack
"High heels." Said Ianto "She didn't ruin the shoe, but the guy is going to be eating and drinking out of a straw for a few months."
"Oh." Said Jack "So your sister roundhouse kicked a guy in the head, broke his jaw, and didn't ruin her shoe or break an ankle?"
"No." Said Ianto "I know what you're thinking, UNIT already has her."
"Really?" asked Jack
"Really." Said Ianto "But see now she's on probationary leave from UNIT."
"Why?" asked Jack
"She was dating her boss's son." Said Ianto "And roundhouse kicking the boss' son in the head, not really a good idea. But the idiot had it coming, you don't cheat on Tanya you just don't."
"A little overboard?" asked Jack
"Not really just- but now she's scared to tell mum." Said Ianto
"Why?" asked Jack
"Because since dad's died mum has been really keen on grandchildren." Said Ianto "And Tanya and I aren't really in jobs to give them to her."
"Ah." Said Jack
"And mum has kind of given up on me giving her grandchildren, which leaves all of it on Tanya and I feel bad because well she has trouble with men, in her job anyway finding well normalcy. So does my other sister Caroline, she also works for UNIT and she's in freak out mode because her boyfriend just exploded in bed."
"Oh." Said Jack "And you get to be the good big brother?"
"The good little and twin brother. Tanya and I are twins." Said Ianto "Don't get me wrong, I love my sisters, especially Tanya. She and I are incredibly close, but sometimes I just want to strangle them."
"Well," said Jack giving Ianto a gentle kiss "I'm here and as long as you want to bitch about your sisters and your family I will listen."
"Thank you." said Ianto smiling at Jack and he continued on his rant for another half an hour and Jack listened the whole time smiling the entire time.
Moment 4: Colleagues' Whispers
Gwen, Tosh, and Owen walked into the hub early one Tuesday morning to find Jack and Ianto asleep on the couch in the main hub.
"Christ I thought they'd gone to Ianto's last night." said Owen
"They were still here when I left last night." Said Tosh "I think they may have been in a heavy snog session when you two left."
"It looks like they were too tired to do anything last night." Said Gwen "Poor dears."
"It's good for both of them." Said Owen
"I know." Said Tosh "I mean I've been here longer than you two and I've never really seen Jack this happy."
"And it's good that Ianto finally found someone who makes him happy." Said Gwen
"Who won't try to kill us." Said Owen
"Stop it." Said Tosh "You're telling me if it had been you –"
"Fine." Said Owen
"They're stirring." Said Gwen and the three colleagues scattered to their desks as the Captain and young Welshman began to rise for the day.
I got the idea for Cold Pizza, because I love cold pizza for breakfast, but I know everybody is not a fan of having cold pizza for breakfast which is why I made Ianto think it was disgusting.
Stolen Glances didn't really come along quite as well as I would have liked it to. Don't know when I'll get more up. I'll try my best to think of sweet little moments daily, but I make no promises.
I'm not exactly sure what would medically happen to someone who was roundhouse kicked in the head other than being knocked out, but I had this dream that I broke this guy's jaw by roundhouse kicking him in the head in high heels so I just had to put that in here.
Reviews would be great since this is my first post.
