Chapter 2: The Flirt
A few weeks had passed since the "Lisa is a Cyberwoman trying to kill us" incident. For the most part everyone in the group had been kind enough not to mention it in front of Ianto. Except for Jack of course. He was worried about Ianto. He could tell this was hard on him, so he checked up on him every few nights just to be sure he was okay. But he had the decency not to do it until everyone else had left for the night. He knew Ianto would hate it if he said anything around Tosh or Gwen, and especially in front of Owen. Whenever Ianto was cleaning up for the night Jack would walk over and talk to him. He always tried to comfort him. Since he had lived for so long, Jack knew what it was like to lose someone he loved, so he tried hard to make it easier for Ianto.
Tonight, as he walked down the stairs from his office and called out "Ianto" he noticed he had turned around and smiled softly. I wonder if that smile is for me Jack thought. Shit, I should turn on the charm just in case it is, he thought smirking a little.
-"If cleaning makes you that happy, I can think of a few other things in my office you can clean" He tried reading Ianto's face, but the king of the Poker Face was back at it.
-"I was just thinking about something Gwen said to me earlier, Sir, that's all" Ianto lied, not so smoothly. His face may not have betrayed his reaction, but his voice sure as hell did. Jack smiled when he replied happy he was right before.
-"Sure you were. And judging by your voice, you and I are probably thinking the same thing." This time Jack knew he was right because Ianto's face suddenly became very rosy and he fumbled the cup he was holding. Ianto mumbled some excuse incoherently. Jack plopped himself down on Ianto's chair.
-"So, how are you doing today?" He asked, the flirt gone from his voice.
-"Better, every day gets better. Especially when I'm here." Did Ianto just say that? Really? Jack thought, expecting work to be the hardest because the hub was where everything went down.
-"I'm glad work is so enjoyable for you" he said, the flirt starting to come back
-"Oh, very. Nothing beats making you coffee and keeping the weevals in line." That gave Jack a crazy idea.
-"Speaking of weevals, what are you doing tonight?"
-"Uhhh, nothing?" Ianto answered, taken aback by the sudden question.
-"I was gonna ask if you would come with me to capture some weevals that are running around town. I got a call that quite a few got up from the sewers and are going crazy. And it would be nice to have your company as I go looking for them."
-"Sounds lovely!"
With that they took their coats and ran off to the group's SUV.
