Chapter 10 – Important Work

Ianto stirred from his sleep, rolling over and reaching out to pull Jack to him. He pouted, where had Jack done now? That was when he noticed the note on the pillow next to him, he sat up and picked up the piece of paper, beginning to read it.

Ianto,
Don't freak out, I haven't left you. I've gone to check on the others; see how they're getting on. It's 8:00 now, I'll be back in a couple of hours.
Jack xx

Ianto looked at the clock, it was 9:45; Jack would be back soon. He pulled himself out of the bed and quickly got dressed.

What to do now? He sighed; he was never usually left at home with nothing to do at this time, Torchwood meant he had little free time, and the little he did have was always spent, well, with Jack.

He walked through to the kitchen, switching on the coffee machine, it had already been set up, he smiled at Jack's sweet gesture. Normally he would be angry ; he was the one that did the coffee, no one else, but this was Jack, his boyfriend, Ianto's smile grew as he thought about what he'd just called him, his boyfriend, but more than that, the man he loved.

That was it, he decided, he was going to go into work, what else was there to do around here? He left the coffee, grabbed his suit jacket and headed out, making sure to lock the door after himself.

"Ianto?!" Gwen grinned. "You okay? We haven't seen you in ages!"

"Yeah I'm fine, Jack insisted I had a couple of days off work."

"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow knowingly.

Ianto smiled and strolled off to Jack's office. He found Jack bent over the desk, peering at some papers spread across the top of it.

"Now if that isn't an interesting position." Ianto remarked, a smirk on his face.

Jack smiled but didn't look up. "What time is it?"

"10:15."

"Oh." He stood up straight and looked over at Ianto. "I did mean to get back for ten, but this is important work.

"No problem." Ianto shrugged. "You may think it's weird, but I actually enjoy working most of the time, especially when I'm working with you."

"No, it's not weird." He laughed. "I think I'm beginning to understand what you mean." Jack paused, the computer on his desk had started flashing up a message, he could see the light shining on the opposite wall. He turned the screen, frowning as he read the message.

"What is it now?" Ianto asked.

"Another weevil's out on the surface." He grinned his charismatic grin at Ianto, the younger man smiled back.
