Chapter 2

Jack was having a bad day. It was just as simple as that. Ianto was already in by the time he made it up to his office. This was usual. He had no idea how Ianto could spend most of the night with him, go home for a few hours, and be back before he even got up but somehow Ianto managed. Jack was unusually groggy this morning and also in a bad mood. Well, he had been in a bad mood since last night to be honest. After Ianto left Jack decided that, for once, he actually wanted to catch up on some sleep. Every now and then he would do this. However, this was made impossible by a rift alert, his adrenaline from said rift alert, and Myfawnwy's squawking when she returned home for the day. When he was finally able to go to sleep he was only able to enjoy a good five minutes of it before he had to get up for the day. So here he was, sitting at his desk and he was grumpy. Now this wouldn't be so bad for Jack. This was just a bad night but he could handle it. However, this was Jack's bad day so naturally it continued to get worse. When Ianto brought him his much needed cup of coffee and left him to enjoy it a weevil sighting came to ruin his one relaxing moment.

"Weevil sighting by the sewer in Rockall St, sir," Ianto informed him and he reappeared in Jack's office. He could have sworn he heard Jack growl in response. Jack shoved back the chair he was sitting in roughly and stood up, grabbed his coat and strode off as he put the coat on. Ianto followed him down the stairs.

"Do you need me to go with you, sir?"

"No, I'm fine." Jack stormed out leaving Ianto to wonder about the captain's current mood.

Jack was wrong about being fine without Ianto. He proceeded to get killed by one of the three weevils while simultaneously losing all three on account of the fact that he was dead. He presumed they went back into the sewers. When he finally came back to life he was alone and dirty on the floor. Then came the rain and he couldn't help the loud curse that slipped through his lips. All he could think about is how much he wished Ianto was there. He also wished he could convince Ianto to stay the night with him so he could spend the whole night wrapped around his beautiful Welshman. However, this was impossible because Ianto just saw him as a meaningless shag. It was his fault though. He did make that perfectly clear in the beginning when they started this whole thing but somewhere during all this something changed. He couldn't admit that though. He would never say it out loud. He knew if he did then something or someone would take Ianto from him. He couldn't let that happen. He lay on the ground in a mixture of mud and his own blood as he thought about how much better it would be if he could have Ianto here right now kissing everything better. However, this wasn't the case and Jack stood, glaring at the clouds in the sky.

Jack stomped back into the hub 20 minutes later, still soaking wet, to find Gwen flirting, and yes it was definitely flirting, with Ianto. With his Ianto. Jack knew flirting. Hell, he was the king of flirting. The question was why was Gwen flirting with Ianto? He had to put a stop to this as soon as he could.

"What's going on guys?" He interrupted.

"Oh my god Jack, You're all wet!" Jack looked down at himself to see that he was, in fact, still wet, a fact that had slipped his mind when he noticed Gwen's flirting. He looked back up and noticed Gwen removed her hand, which had been placed on Ianto's arms when Jack interrupted, and walk off. Jack couldn't help but glare at her retreating back. If Ianto noticed his glare he didn't mention anything.

"Go take a shower and get into some dry clothes. You'll freeze to death. I'll make you a cup of coffee." Ianto was already walking towards the kitchen to make said coffee and Jack was left standing there alone for a moment. He did notice the fact that neither person answered his question. He went to take his shower, thinking of all the possibilities of what they could have been talking about.

As promised, a steaming cup of coffee was sitting on his desk. He picked it up and went to stand by the window and watch over his team as he occasionally did. He was about to take a sip of his coffee when he saw Gwen give Ianto a small peck on the lips! Jack saw red. He could not believe Gwen was trying to steal Ianto from him. He was so mad that he didn't even notice that he dropped his cup of steaming coffee until he felt it burning into his leg.

"Fuck!" He yelled, looking at his leg. He didn't notice the rest of the team look up at him curiously and Ianto worriedly making his way to Jack's office. Jack grabbed a pair of pants from the pile of clothes he had just washed and never had time to throw down in his bunker. Just as he had his wet pants off the door opened to reveal a worried Ianto.

"Are you alr-" Ianto paused midsentence as he noticed the state of undress his captain was in. He couldn't help the small blush that spread across his face as his mind went to some dirtier thoughts and he shut the door quickly before he could act on any of them.

Jack sighed as he saw the door shut. He could have used a quickie right now. Actually, if he was being honest, all he wanted was for Ianto to just hold him but that wasn't going to happen so a quickie would have been second best. Unfortunately, Ianto had this strict "not during work hours" rule that he followed to the tee despite all of Jack's efforts. He knew by now not to bother to try, so instead Jack finished changing and went to find Ianto. He didn't have to look very far. Ianto was standing outside his door when he opened it looking down at the ground. Jack could see the lust in his eyes and was almost tempted to try, but that would lead to decaf which he could not handle at the moment. Jack decided to clear his throat because, it seemed, Ianto had no idea he was standing there. Actually it seemed like Ianto had no idea Ianto himself was standing there. He seemed to be somewhere else, most likely a bed. Ianto looked up in embarrassment after hearing Jack.

"I-I'm sorry I walked in on you sir. I..uh..I should have knocked," he stammered and Jack couldn't help but smile at how cute he was when he was embarrassed.

"It's fine Ianto. It's nothing you haven't seen before."

"Er..yes. Are you alright, sir?" Ianto asked his original question before he was interrupted by Jack's naked state.

"Yeah, I just dropped my coffee and it got all over my pants and the floor.." He looked back at the spot he spilled and Ianto's gaze followed his.

"..and I guess a little on the window too," he said sheepishly. He really knew how to make a mess. Then his mind wandered at the thought of him making a mess in other ways.

"How about I get you another cup and then I'll clean up your mess, sir." Ianto snapped him out of his thoughts for a second before forcing him to continue his thoughts with that last part of his statement. Jack was sure he said that on purpose. There is no way that Ianto could say that so suggestively and had not done it on purpose. Jack had to hold back a groan at the image Ianto had just provided him. Ianto didn't seem to noticed. He just gave Jack his innocent polite smile.

"Thanks Ianto," he was finally able to say. Ianto left to get started on his new task and Jack didn't notice his small smirk as he left. Jack went down to go see what the rest of his team was up to. Well, mainly to talk to Gwen about what he had just seen.

"So, what's going on with you and Ianto?" He tried to sound causal but it sounded anything but.

"What do you mean Jack?" Gwen was the picture of innocence, too innocent if you were to ask Jack. He knew she was up to something. She was trying to steal Ianto. He knew it!

"I don't know, how about the fact that you keep flirting with him or maybe that kiss you gave him?" Jack accused.

"Ianto's helping me with something for my wedding. I was asking him about it earlier when you interrupted us and he was never able to give me an answer. He agreed to it later and I was so excited I just gave him a harmless kiss. As for the flirting, if I was, I didn't realize."

"Oh," was all Jack could say. He forgot about Rhys and the wedding. She seemed mad. Well, she sorta seemed mad but then she seemed kinda please as well. It was a good explanation. Actually, it was a bit too good of an explanation. It was like it was a practiced explanation. He glared at her. He knew she had a plan to steal Ianto.

"What's wrong with you Jack? It's like your jealous or something."

"I am not jealous!" Jacks response was quick. It was a bit too quick and Gwen gave him a knowing look. She obviously didn't believe him but her look was also smug. It was as if she was enjoying his jealousy.

"Whatever you say Jack." Ianto choose that moment to appear with coffee's for everyone.

"Thanks Ianto." Gwen gave him a sweet smile. Jack glared daggers at her but she just ignored him. He stormed off taking his coffee to his office. He noticed the spot he had previously spilled coffee on was now clean. Ianto must have cleaned it while he was waiting for the beans. He took his first sip of the delicious coffee much too late in the day. As always, it was amazing and it made his horrible day just a little better. He decided to get some paperwork done while he was in this better mood.
