-One Last Kiss?-
People around Cardiff were getting attacked; men, women, young, and old alike. The victims were beaten, bit, and left for dead. At first the police treated the attacks as random occurrences until the similarities started to stand out. Nine people had gotten attacked and the last one had died from her injuries.
In other places under the city, the members of Torchwood were chasing weevils around that had emerged from the rift. Gwen had gotten back to the Hub first reeking of sewer water and sludge she showered and got ready to go home. As she was leaving, Ianto Jones arrived still looking dapper in his suit and vest. If there was a best dressed Torchwood award it would go to Ianto every year. She could not help notice that he did not seem to have any noticeable dirt on him.
Gwen looked at him astonished. "Were you in the same sewer as I was?"
"Yea dark colors hide blood and human waste quite well." Ianto answered.
He felt very uncomfortable covered in foul dirt and grime; his suit would have to be cleaned and disinfected. The pair said their good nights or rather good mornings and parted ways. Ianto washed up and went to start his other job which was keeping the hub clean. He was monitoring rift activity and for some coffee to brew as the alarms and heavy door rolled open and Capt. Jack Harkness strolled into the room.
Jack caught site of the young Welshman and could not help but smile. "Gwen already left?"
"Yes Sir." He replied. "You are the last one back, seems you owe us all dinner or a round of drinks." He finished.
Jack got closer to Ianto, and was about to playfully admonish him for calling him 'sir', when Ianto caught a whiff of the stench coming off of Jack.
"Ugh, wow you smell awful! Coffee is still brewing; should be ready in a few; I filed all the reports and archived what little we found tonight." He said while covering his nose and mouth. "Ugh…phew…oh. There's nothing immediate for you to get to, so I would highly recommend a shower." He added.
Jack smiled playfully. "Shower huh. Care to join me…"
Ianto was trying not to breathe, but that was impossible; this was just NOT what he needed right now a stinky and rather cheeky Jack. The Capt. loved playing these games with Ianto but; Jack backed off a bit when he noticed Ianto turning a little green around the gills.
Jack lifted up his arm and smelled his great coat; he too almost threw up. "Whoa sorry, guess I just got used to the smell."
Ianto breathed a sigh of relief as Jack moved away, but that was short lived as Jack shed his coat and threw it at Ianto. Ianto gasped and moved out of the way just in time; he shot Jack a look that said I am going to make you pay.
Jack laughed. "Just trying to get you to shower with me; can't blame me for wanting that."
Jack then dashed off before Ianto could just something back at him; preferably something heavy. The two of them had been, well, dating rather regularly. Ianto never considered himself gay, he had girlfriends. There was something about Jack though; maybe it was his 51st century pheromones, his sparkling blue eyes, dashing smile, his last minute heroic acts, or a combo of it all. What ever the reason Ianto could honestly say he was falling in love with Jack. Ianto shook his head, this was no time for heartfelt musings, there was still work to be done, plus there was also the matter of a reeking coat to deal with.
Several minutes later Ianto had finished and was pretty nearly dead on his feet, he poured himself a travel mug of coffee and gathered the things that needed to be dropped off at the dry cleaners. Jack was still in the shower; the immortal man did enjoy taking long hot steamy showers. Ianto left the hub; he walked out the outer door; it was still dark outside, but the sun would soon rise. He shielded his eyes and moved down the wooden walkway. There was so much to do before he could finally get to rest in his flat.
Jack came out of the showers dressed in a white shirt, blue pants, boots, and his trademark braces. The hub was all quiet and the only thing he smelled was the awesome scent of Ianto's fresh brewed coffee. Jack had loved many women and men in his long life time, but there was something about Ianto something that made him special over all the rest. Suddenly his heart started to race, and a sense of panic set in. He looked around the hub and then ran for the exit. Thank fully his eyes laid upon the familiar form of his lover walking away.
Jack rushed out the outer door. "IANTO!"
The Capt. quickly closed the gap between him and the other man; Ianto had barely turned around when he found himself locked in a passionate kiss. Jack's tongue searched Ianto's mouth, his hands touched, caressed, and felt the soft skin on Ianto's face and head. Jack inhaled deeply taking in his lover's fresh scent. Ianto was surprised by the attack, he dropped what he was carrying, but then he soon fell into the ardor of the situation. His hands wrapped around Jack's waist pulling him in closer. The kiss was electrifying for them both, their hearts raced, their flesh twittered and goose pimpled, and their blood became inflamed with the chemicals swirling about in their bodies. Despite Ianto's hold Jack broke off the kiss and stepped back.
"W…what brought that on?" Ianto asked after a moment. "Not that I am complaining." He said.
Jack smiled and then started to walk back to the hub. "I'll see you later; better get to sleep while you can."
Ianto let out a pleased sigh, as he picked up his things, his hands were still shaking. Guess he would be seeing Jack later after all he thought as a smile stretched on his lips.
