Three hours after Jack had left Ianto on the couch he woke up. At first he wasn't aware of his surroundings until he saw the legs of his co-worker, Tosh. He slowly lifted his head and tried to stand but crumpled under the weight of himself. No one had realised he was awake, he thought Tosh would have but he noticed that she had a pair of headphones covering her ears. He tried again to regain his strength and stand, when he was certain he wouldn't topple again he took a few steps forward and tripped over the coffee table. He flipped right over it and landed hard on his back. Tosh nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the loud scraping sound of the coffee table being moved slightly and the bang of the young man falling. She swivelled around and saw that Ianto was lying still on the floor of the hub eyes wide.

"Oh my god, Ianto, are you ok?" she shrieked. The sound of her shrill cry sent everyone running down to the main part of the hub to see what had happened.

"Ianto! What happened?" Jack said with a slight note of worry in his voice. Ianto didn't even respond to the voice of his lover. He knew everyone was staring down at him, he could see them perfectly. He knew Jack was worried, but still nothing came to his lips. Gwen was just about to help him up when he sat up himself. He wasn't even dazed which surprised him because any other time he would have been, but not today.

Jack let out a small sigh of relief when Ianto sat up.

"It's okay, I'm fine, just tripped." Ianto told them, but their faces changed from looking worried to confused. Ianto couldn't understand why, they were just staring at him, no one spoke.

"What? Stop staring at me like that, it's rather unnerving."

"Ianto?" Gwen asked, but not to him, she asked just to say his name.

"Yes?" His face was reddening with embarrassment by this point.

Owen grabbed Ianto's chin. And his eyebrows knotted in concentration. He moved Ianto's head from side to side observing him slowly.

"Open your mouth," Owen demanded.

"Why? I don't understand."

"Just do it!" Owen said more forceful.

Ianto raised his eyebrows, but opened his mouth as Owen had orderd him to do. Owen, being the doctor of Torchwood three, took control and looked deeply in Ianto's mouth, he was just about to stick his fingers in Ianto's mouth when Ianto closed it feeling uncomfortable.

"Ianto, nod if you understand what has happened." Owen asked in his concerned tone, which was odd for Owen because he had never liked Ianto that much. Ianto just shook his head and asked what was going on.

"He doesn't realise," Tosh spoke up.

"Yeah I see that," Owen said almost sounding like he cared.

"What happened to him anyways?" Jack asked Tosh.

"When I turned around I saw him on the floor, but I guess what happened is that when he woke up he tripped over the coffee table. Then you guys came."

"Ianto, you- well, you've lost your voice, or it is more like your voice has left you," Jack told him looking very stern.

Ianto looked at Jack for a few seconds then began to laugh silently. The rest of the team all exchanged glances of confusion. Ianto, still laughing with no sound escaping his lips grabbed Jacks face with both of his hands, leaned into the older man and kissed him passionately. When he separated their lips he leaned his forehead on Jacks and laughed again. The others just stared at the pair of them. Ianto kissed Jack a second time then pulled away biting his own lip to keep himself from laughing. Tosh, Owen and Gwen all stared at Jack this time his face had such a shocked look on it that they almost broke out laughing themselves.

"Not quite the reaction I expected," Jack admitted, "but a good one." He looked around and caught the glances of the others kneeling around Ianto. Ianto stopped laughing and went in for another kiss, the weight of Ianto leaning in on Jack almost made him topple over. Ianto began to unbutton Jacks blue shirt. Jack was too seduced by Ianto to stop him. Jack looked up at the others past Ianto's head and saw that Owen was looking away, but Tosh and Gwen were just kneeling there watching. The women saw Jack looking at them and they simultaneously blushed.

"Bloody hell, get a damn room," Owen moaned feeling awkward sitting so close to the two men kissing. Jack just lifted his hand to push Owen away.

"Is that a no?" Gwen asked giggling with Tosh as they got up to leave.

"I'll get that report on your desk by the morning," Owen grunted as he shuffled away to his desk.

Jack finally fell under the weight of Ianto and couldn't move. Ianto realised this and got off his boss to help him up. Just as Jack got to his feet he was being pulled by his suspenders to his office.

Jack's office wasn't the most hidden room in the hub, it was open to the main part of the hub because of the windows. Tosh and Gwen were chatting down on the couch Ianto had slept on that night. Ever so often they'd pause and look up to Jacks office and see one of the two men in there shirtless.

Ianto let go of Jacks suspenders when he closed the door to the office. Jack slipped them off his shoulders so that they hung low around his legs. Ianto pulled Jacks collard shirt off and was pushed farther into the office. Jack scrambled past Ianto and sat in his chair behind his desk. He gestured for Ianto to wait where he was. Ianto gave Jack a puzzled look, but stayed where he was. Jack moved some things from his desk then got up again and approached Ianto.

"Now, where were we?" Jack asked Ianto knowing he couldn't answer back.

"Well-"Ianto tried to say not realising no one could hear him. Jack pulled on Ianto's tie dragging him to his desk. Ianto sat on the desk and was kissed by Jack more romantically this time.

"JACK! There has been an attack!" Owen shouts running into the office not realising he had just walked into. His eyes stared at the two shirtless men for a few minutes then his eyes darted to the ground.

"Oh, yeah?" Jack laughed.

"Jack, this is serious, it's no laughing matter. One dead and two injured. Over by the shopping plaza."

"Fine, gather every-"

"They already know and are waiting for you."

"Ok, Ianto you stay here, I will be back," Jack told him smirking as he ran after Owen.
