It's really crap. I'm sorry!
It will get better as it progresses. Give it time please. :]]

Chapter 2

"Sunday morning television. What crap!" Owen huffed as he angrily switched off the small TV set.

"I'm sure there's something?" Tosh said, as she walked closer to the medic. She took the remote from on top of the TV and switched it on.
"It's all crap Tosh! I'm telling you."

"Nope, that's where you're wrong. Ianto loves this show."
"...Something For The Weekend?"
"Yeah! He never got to watch it last week. That spider woman came through the rift...Remember?"
"Ohh yeah..." Owen looked dazed for a second. "She was fit."
"And she killed Jack."
"But she was fit...And anyway...who wouldn't kill Jack?"

Tosh let out a small giggle. Owen was right. Lots of people wanted to kill jack; it was his own fault though. He'd annoyed a lot of people in his lifetime, most had always come back to bite him in the bum. The spider woman being one of them. Jack had been in a relationship with her before he founded Torchwood. Apparently, things went wrong and Jack left, leaving her very pissed off.

Typical Jack.

She didn't blame the spider lady for killing Jack. She just felt bad for Ianto. He saw everything; Jack being thrown up against the wall, being stabbed and eventually, being killed. The look of heartache on his face was heart-rending. Even though Ianto knew that his captain would come back, the young man couldn't help but feel broken inside every time he saw his captain in mortal danger.

A tiny crash broke Toshiko from her thoughts. She twirled round to the source of the noise and saw Jack bending down in front of Ianto, picking up large shards of broken mugs, a stream of apologies pouring from his mouth.
"God Ianto, I'm so sorry! I swear, after I clean this up, I'll go straight to Waitrose and get some more mugs."

The Japanese technician smiled. Over the past few months, Jack had shown so much affection towards Ianto. Unknown to two of the members of the Torchwood team, Jack and Ianto had been seeing each other in secret during these months.

Of course, they let Tosh know about their relationship. She and Ianto had been very close since the incident at Breacon Breacons, and Jack thought that if anyone should know, then it should be her.

Tosh looked at Jack, and saw him brush against Ianto on his way to the bin to throw the shards away. Their eyes met, and Jack's face drew closer to Ianto's, obviously intending to kiss him. Tosh drew a breath, about to make up some crumby excuse to make sure Owen didn't see, when her phone started to ring loudly, interrupting the two lovers.

"Oh, my mum's calling me!" Tosh said loudly. Ianto and Jack both felt their cheeks go red, and shied away from each other.

"Hi mum!" Tosh said, sounding overly happy.
"Oh your mum's on the phone? I've never spoken to your mum before! Can I say hi?"

Owen had been very excitable over the past few weeks. Anyone would have thought he had a girlfriend who kept him very...satisfied. That wasn't the case though. Owen and Tosh had gotten extremely close ever since the former died. Due to the fact that he couldn't eat, drink or have sex, he had latched onto Tosh as a support system to keep him strong. He had kept trying to kill himself over the previous months as he didn't think he had a reason to live, but Tosh had shown him otherwise. She had shown him that he was needed in life; that Torchwood needed him; that she needed him.

"Owwwww Tosh! I wanna speak to your mum!" He cried as Tosh shook her head gently and pulled the phone up to her ear.
"Tossssshhhh! Pleaseeee!"
The woman in question motioned with her hand for Owen to follow her, and quickly winked at Jack and Ianto before she left the room.

The couple in the kitchen smiled as Tosh passed them. She had been extremely supportive of their relationship and they were so glad that she knew. They knew that their relationship wouldn't have remained a secret without her – there had been so many close calls, which she – somehow managed to divert.

"I've wanted to get you alone for ages…" Jack said seductively as he shuffled closer to his partner and slid his arms around his small frame.

"You had me alone about half an hour ago Sir." The younger man said in a deadpanned voice.
The captain let out an animalistic growl and stared down at Ianto. "What have I told you about calling me Sir when we're not in bed?"
"You said not to Sir."
"Grrr,"

Jack lunged forward and attacked Ianto's lips with his own. The younger man was roughly pushed up against the work surface as Jack's dominance took control. Obviously seeing where this was leading, Ianto pulled his mouth from Jack's. "Not here Jack…" He panted as he slid his hands to rest on the older man's chest.
"No one's here Yan…"
"But they can walk in…"
Jack frowned slightly and nodded, knowing that his boyfriend was right. "When they go home?" He asked with a spark of excitement flashing through his eyes.
Ianto nodded gently, brushing his lips upon his Captains. "Of course…Now…I believe you said something about Waitrose a while ago…"

The man let out a low man and gave Ianto puppy eyes. "Do I have tooooo?"
"Unless you want to drink coffee out of a polystyrene cup for the next few weeks…"
"'Kay…How much will I need?"
"You broke 4 mugs…I paid about £7 for each…sooo…."
"I'll just take my card."
