Toshiko didn't know where Ianto got the fans from but she was ever so bloody grateful for something to push the air around as they all fanned themselves. Of course Gwen was the first to complain, "My wrist hurts. Owen? Can you fan me?"

Owen stared at her for an extremely uncomfortable length of time then turned back to the book he was reading, his own fan lazily wafting the pages with each wrist flick.

Toshiko had also noticed that Ianto had given her the prettiest one, the little green and blue dragon hand painted on the white silk was so pretty and Gwen had looked at her own simple black one with something akin to horror as she watched Toshiko open hers.

Ianto's was red, of course with little black birds and Jack had snagged one that was paisley. Yeah, I know, hideous but he was enjoying the looks of disgust. Owen had a simple flower design on his and he knew Gwen was about to angle for it as she knew Toshiko would never swap so he was daintily turning it every now and then so she could see the pattern….just in case.

Jack left them to their childish game and walked though to the other room where Ianto was lying on the mattress in his boxer shorts and singlet fanning his legs as he leaned back against the old sofa cushions that he had pulled over for pillows. Good idea that.

"Hey" he said softly as he sat on a crate careful not to get into Ianto's little airspace and Ianto sighed as he lay with his eyes still closed, "This is my pool, no splashing."

"Pool?"

"Yeah, I'm waiting for the pool boy to come over with one of this prissy drinks with an umbrella in it" Ianto said with a conspiratal growl, "Gonna flick his tip onto the ground by accident, make him bend over for it."

"Sounds like a plan" Jack grinned, "You got enough sunscreen on?"

Ianto's smile faded as Jack realised what he had said and Ianto turned to look up at him, "Hey, it's OK. Slip. Come on, I will share the lounger but if the pool boy comes over you can't cramp my style OK?"

Jack smiled softly as he was forgiven and he slid on to the mattress to enjoy Ianto's fan, opening his own to add to the air flow and they were soon comfortable, Ianto's fan slowly dying as Ianto settled to sleep. Jack watched as his fan kept the poor young man comfortable and a noise had him looking toward the door where Gwen was sulking.

"You're wasting good fan air on him? He's asleep." she whined, "I'm hot. Come fan me, I will take off my bra."

"Gwen I've seen you naked" Jack hissed, "After the Mervotliat slime attack we all had to scrub on and believe you me, you don't have anything that is as interesting as what Ianto can offer."

Gwen's eyes narrowed as she straightened up, "Well, just because he has a dick, doesn't mean he is all that and a packet of crisps, I can get a dick any time I want one with these!"

Jack watched her plump her breasts and snorted, "Good luck with that, I think Toshiko can trump you with her glasses on!"

A soft snort told him Ianto was awake and listening so he went for the kill, "Anyway, saying you can get a dick is not the same as having one Gwen. After all, this can be a single player game or multi player. Shame you don't have a membership to this exclusive club of two. Ianto makes my toes curl!"

Gwen flounced off and Ianto started to snigger, "Curl huh?"

"Yeah" Jack said softly as he resumed fanning him, "Toes curl, fingers splay and my heart skips. Not to mention that little thing you do…"

Jack kissed him by his earlobe and Ianto sighed softly as he drifted off again and Jack soon heard Gwen complaining in the other room followed by Owen telling her to fuck off to the naughty corner or something.

"So, tell me about this pool." He asked once Ianto's breathing changed again.

"Blue, so clear you can see the pair of knickers on the bottom of the tiles, see? Hussy left them there after a party but it is so deep. Barely a ripple this time of day, the birds swooping down to perch on the edge and take a sip, why I don't use a lot of chemicals. Hear them in the trees? That cool breeze making the branches sway so it sounds like they are whispering something important like the secrets of the universe? Listen."

Jack settled once more and watched Ianto's eyelashes flutter against his cheeks, listening to the sound of Ianto's soft breathing.

"Yes" he said gently, "Magic."

"Hmmmmmmm"

Jack waited until Ianto was not replying and settled to sleep as well, the heat cloistering.

They had to do something about that and soon.
