Chapter 10
When Jack and Ianto left work on Thursday night, they were both feeling happier than either of them had felt in a long time. There actually hadn't been that much work to do, Jack had mostly wanted an opportunity to speak to Ianto alone, which also meant that they had instead spent the night kissing and talking. Their first date had been set on Saturday, since both of them just wanted to spend time with the other.
When Ianto went to sleep that evening, he could only think of Jack, hiss wonderful warm kisses, and how great it was going to be to see him the next morning!
As Jack drifted off to sleep his mind kept replaying the same scene, how Ianto had pressed his lips against his and then said that of course he wanted to go out with him. Jack felt warm inside and was sure that this was just the beginning, the beginning of something wonderful.
When Ianto and Jack arrived at work the following day, they were the first ones there, and enjoyed some time alone in Jack's office, Ianto on Jack's lap in the office chair, kissing. As the clock turned eight, they knew that the others would soon be arriving. Ianto, who preferred to know how everything would go between them before announcing their relationship to the others, gave Jack one last kiss and went to his own office, just as the lift came up and they heard Tosh and Owen come in. As their colleagues settled at their desks, Ianto and Jack shared a look and smiled at each other before going on with their day.
Friday went by quickly and before leaving for the day Ianto went into Jack's office to make plans for their date.
'Hey Jack…' he said smiling as he entered the office.
'Ianto, hi!' Jack said and flashed him that amazing smile that had made Ianto fall for him that evening in the park.
'So, about tomorrow… How do you want to do this? We meet up somewhere, or '
'Nope,' Jack answered, 'this is going to be a proper date, I've made reservations and I'll come and pick you up at 7? Is that ok?'
'Sure, sure, great,' Ianto said and smiled, 'I'm really looking forward to it!'
'Me too, I've wanted to do this since we first met.' Jack said as he got up and joined Ianto on the other side of his desk and gave him a light kiss, and felt Ianto's arms wrap around his waist. They were so deep in the moment that they had completely forgotten about Tosh and Gwen, who were the only ones left in the office except the two of them, and the girls were presently in Jack's doorway.
'Ahem,' Tosh tried, and the boys flew apart, slightly embarrassed, not so much of being caught, but they had forgotten where they were and that there was anybody else left.
'So, you've finally got it together then boys,' Gwen smiled. 'We were wondering how long it would take you to do this…' Both women smiled at their friends and the boys were smiling as well, as they realised that the girls had probably seen this coming for longer than they had.
'So, how about a few drinks before going home?' Tosh suggested, an idea her friends happily complied to
As they left the bar to go their separate ways, Jack and Ianto both felt like they were walking on clouds, for the second evening in a row. Things were really looking up for both of them.
