Hello again.

How are you all doing? I hope you all are well enough to read my new chapter. It's after midnight here in Germany, so I'll apologize for the mistakes you might find in this chapter.

I still don't own Torchwood... Ianto, Owen and Tosh would still be alive if I did.

Enjoy reading :D

A loud beeping woke Ianto three hours later. Eyes still closed he reached for his alarm and turned the annoying sound of. With a groan he rolled over in bed and sat up, his eyes opening slowly. Blinking a few times to adjust to the brightness in his room, his eyes flew to the red digits portrayed on this alarm. 7:01. The previous night he changed the setting so he would be able to sleep a little bit longer than the usual. Jack had told him to come in later, saying they all needed some well-deserved rest. At this time of the day Ianto would be sitting in his car, on his way to work.

With another groan he stood up and went to the kitchen to get the coffee ready to brew. In the meantime Ianto went to take a shower. The hot water managed to wake him up more and Ianto decided he was getting to old to manage on only a few hours of sleep.

When he emerged from the bathroom the lovely aroma of coffee waved through the house. He poured himself a cup and added a little bit of milk and sugar and sat down on his couch. After he finished his first cup he went to put on some shoes, wrote a short note for Rose, telling her where he went and left to get some things for breakfast.

When Rose finally woke up, she found the kitchen table loaded with things for breakfast. Ianto had seemingly bought everything. Buns, croissants, fruits, marmalade, bacon with eggs, sandwiches, cornflakes, coffee and tea.

"Ianto you didn't have to." Rose said, taking the wonderful breakfast in.

"We'll take the rest with us. I'm sure Gwen and Jack will be happy ." Ianto said, a smile gracing his lips.

During breakfast Rose told Ianto about her travels with the Doctor and stories about Jack, while Ianto told her about his life at Torchwood Cardiff, leaving out Lisa and his relationship with Jack. During sharing their stories with each other, Ianto realized why Jack liked Rose so much.

Ianto and Rose were almost finished with breakfast, when Ianto's mobile phone rang. Seeing Jack's name flash over the display Ianto grinned. Ianto accepted the call and put the phone to his ear, mouth already open to greet the Captain, before Jack's voice rang trough the phone.

"Iantoooo where are you?" Jack whined. "Gwen tried to make coffee, it's horrible."

Ianto suppressed a chuckle and answered: "Well, you told me not to hurry. And I took my time. Rose and I just finished breakfast. We will be at work shortly. I just need to clean things up and get ready."

Jack mumbeled something Ianto couldn't understand, before saying in a louder voice: "Hurry. I miss you."

"I will, Sir." Ianto replied smiling.

30 minutes later Ianto and Rose walked through the cog door, alerting the team of their presence. Ianto was carrying two Starbucks coffee's in his hand. Stopping by Gwen's desk he placed one of them in her waiting hands.

"Thank you Ianto. You're an angel." Gwen replied smiling.

Giving Gwen a smile and a nod he continued to Jack's office, Rose still standing by Gwen' desk discussing some thing or another. Ianto knocked once and entered, not waiting for Jack to ask him in.

"I've got you a coffee, Sir." Ianto said, placing the coffee on Jack's desk. Instead of taking the coffee, Jack reached for Ianto, pulling him closer.

"I missed you, tonight." Jack whispered, pulling Ianto down by his tie and placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"I wasn't gone that long." Ianto replied grinning. When they started the thing they had, Ianto accepted that Jack wouldn't be exclusive, so what had changed now that Rose was here? Nothing. He just had to deal with it and make the most of the things Jack could offer him.

Ianto kissed Jack back with more passion and soon Jack was pulling the Welsh into his lap, running his hands up Ianto's back, while Ianto had his hands buried in his captains hair.

All to soon their kiss broke. Ianto took a deep breath and stood up. He straightened out his suit and said: "I'll make some coffee and prepare breakfast for you and Gwen. Then I'll take Rose shopping. She can't wear the same clothes for the time to come. You can call me when you need my help here, Sir."

As it turned out Jack didn't call Ianto during the day. It seemed that the rift and the Weevils allowed them a day to finish all the paperwork which was piling up on Jack's and Gwen's desks. Ianto of course had his paperwork finished it had the chance to pile up on his desk.

It was around 6 pm when Rose and Ianto came back from their shopping trip. Each of them carried bags loaded with clothes and other essential things for Rose. Ianto carried a bag of food in his hand, too. Seeing how late it was when the pair of them was finished with their shopping trip Ianto decided he would buy them some Chinese for dinner.

The whole team and Rose enjoyed the time to catch up on the day's events during dinner. Jack moaned about the paperwork he had do himself for once. As the rift was quiet during the day, Jack told everyone to head home early, seeing none of them did get much rest the previous night.

"I'll just clean up a little, I hope you didn't mind waiting, Rose." Ianto said, looking around the Hub and seeing the paper cups littering Gwen's desk. He assumed Jack had sent Gwen to the local Starbucks to get them their caffeine fix during the day.

"It's fine. Just tell me when you are ready to go." Rose gave Ianto one of her smiles, tounge poking out between her teeth, before following Jack to his office. Ianto traced the pair with jealous eyes before taking a deep breath and starting on tiding the Hub. During the day Rose and Ianto had gotten quite close. They talked much and found out they had quite a few things in common, yet neither of them talked much about their relationships.

Approving of the state of the Hub, Ianto went to Jack's office, knocking carefully. When he heard Jack calling his name Ianto opened the door and entered. Rose was sitting crossed legged in the middle of Jack's desk, turned to look at Ianto while the Captain was lounging in his chair, feet popped onto the table. Huge grins were covering both of their faces. Ianto forced his lips into a smile and told Rose he was ready to leave.

"I'll get the bags." She said, jumping from the desk, kissing Jack on the cheek and running from the room. Calling a "Bye Jack!" over her shoulder.

Jack appeared beside Ianto and pulled the Welsh closer by his tie, kissing him passionately. Allowing himself to be carried away by the feel and taste of Jack's lips Ianto needed a moment to realize where he was when Jack pulled away, grinning at him.

"Goodnight, Yan." Jack whispered, his breath tickling Ianto's ear.

"Goodnight, Sir." Ianto replied with a teasing voice. Hearing Jack groan Ianto grinned. "I hope you have pleasant dreams."

The sky was grey when Ianto and Rose left the apartment the next morning. Both of them were walking towards Ianto's car quickly. It wasn't raining, but the air wasn't dry either.

"Remind me, why did we have to get up that early? I think we're the only people in Cardiff who are awake at this time of the day." Rose complained, a cup of hot tea clutched in her hands.

"Someone has to make the coffee for the rest of the world." Ianto grinned. His hands went to his pocket pulling out the key for his car. "I left my mobile on the kitchen table. Here, take the key and wait in the car. I'll be back in a minute." Throwing the key at Rose he turned around and hurried back into his apartment.

Shaking her head Rose continued towards Ianto's car. Unlocking it she seated herself in the passenger seat and buckled herself in. She kept glancing into the rear-view mirror, looking for Ianto. She saw him leaving the building and turned her view towards the street in front of her. When the door hadn't opened a few moments later, she turned around to see what Ianto was up to. What she saw shocked her to the bone.

A man wearing a black leather jacket, dark jeans and a motorcycle helmet was pulling something that looked like a syringe away from Ianto's neck. He threw the item away and caught a crumbeling Ianto in his arms.

Cursing Rose unbuckled herself, threw the door open and ran towards Ianto and the masked man. Yet she couldn't run fast enough. The man had Ianto draped over his shoulder and was hurrying though the doors of a black van. Rose's eyes locked onto Ianto's closing blue eyes before the doors of the van closed and the car sped away.

Anyone to guess what is going to happen to Ianto? Yes? No? Maybe? Any wishes for further chapters perhaps? Don't be shy and review.

Love, your BlackButterfly

Allons-y! ;D
