Ianto woke early, knowing that the others would be turning up for work soon. He couldn't imagine their reaction if they found him and Jack curled up snugly in bed together, and he wasn't sticking around to see it. Carefully, he untangled himself from Jack's arms, desperately trying not to wake him. He looked so peaceful lying there, all trace of smugness and bravado wiped from his face. Ianto dressed silently and slipped out of the Hub, heading home to find a shower and a nice clean suit.

Jack's dreams (Which mostly just replayed last night's events) were disturbed a few minutes later, when he felt he was now alone in bed. He slowly opened his eyes to confirm his suspicions. Instead of seeing a gorgeous Welshman asleep next to him, he found himself staring at an empty pillow. Jack sighed. He should've known Ianto would leave early, probably paranoid of being caught shagging the boss. Jack himself had been looking forward to seeing Owen's face as he found them in a slightly compromising position. He smiled to himself, making a mental note to turn off the cameras in the vault. He had a good use for it in mind, an idea he would share with Ianto as soon as he could. His thoughts were interrupted as the heavy door rolled open and Tosh and Owen stepped through. Jack put on his classic smile and went to greet his employees.
"Morning, team!" Jack yelled, earning him a groan from Owen.
"God, could you be any more bloody cheesy?" he muttered, turning to his enormous pile of paperwork that had no hope of shrinking any time soon. Jack remembered the look Ianto had every time he passed Owen's desk; it was as if he had committed a terrible sin. Ianto's obvious distaste for Owen's laziness always made Jack smile.
As he stood, grinning manically at nothing in particular, he heard the door open once again. His smile brightened as Ianto walked in, looking slightly awkward. He glanced towards Jack, before looking away quickly. Jack could've sworn he could see a small smirk on Ianto's face as he avoided his gaze. He went to his office inconspicuously. He wondered how long he'd have to wait before calling Ianto to his office without making the others suspicious. After 3 minutes, he was too bored to wait anymore.
"Ianto!" he yelled, "Be an angel and bring me some coffee"
He heard Ianto make his way up the small staircase towards his office, the aroma of hot, delicious coffee wafted though the slightly open door. He smiled as Ianto came into view, a cup of steaming coffee in his hand. Ianto avoided Jack's eyes as he gently placed the cup on the cluttered desk. Jack noticed this and smirked at the awkwardness that Ianto was obviously feeling. He made his way to the door to block Ianto's escape, and closed it.
Ianto looked up at Jack. "Sir?" he looked confused. Jack just grinned and went to close the blinds that shielded his office from view of the rest of the Hub. He turned and walked towards Ianto, a look in his eye that made Ianto nervous, and gently ran his hand down Ianto's arm.
Ianto sighed, "Jack..." he protested feebly as Jack's hand stopped, resting on Ianto's hip. Jack gently pulled the other man closer, leaning so he could whisper in his ear.
"You know you want to"
Ianto closed his eyes. It was true, he had been thinking about it pretty much since he left Jack earlier that morning. But it was the middle of the day, and Tosh, Owen and Gwen were all working only metres away. If any of them happened to come up to the office......
He gasped as Jack pushed him up against the back of the desk, not waiting for a reply from Ianto. Jack laughed at the shocked look on Ianto's face. Ianto looked down at his feet uncomfortably.
"I don't think it would be a good idea, Sir" he murmured. Jack sighed, defeated. He should've known Ianto would be the responsible employee in all this. He stepped away, letting Ianto pass him. Ianto hastily retreated out of the office door.
Jack slumped into his chair, disappointed. But as he went to sip his deliciously hot coffee, there was a timid knock at his door...
