"SHOES!"

Jack had heard the doorbell and walked from the kitchen while drying his hands on a tea towel to find Ianto on his knees reacting to bags around him.

"Hey lover" Ivy purred, "Brought the girlfriend here some makeup and things, you gave me enough for some new kicks too."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Ianto was hugging a stiletto to his chest like it was a kitten or something, stroking it as he crooned to it.

"I know you had a red pair the same, hope I got the colour right" Ivy grinned as she settled on the arm of a chair, her outfit too tight to sit comfortably but her arse really did pop.

"Ivory" Ianto gushed, "They will go with the wedding outfit I had at the cleaners, oh darling you are so clever!"

Ivy preened, "I am, aren't I."

Ianto crammed his feet into the six inch heels and started to sashay up and down the room as he tested them for comfort, his bare legs with only silk boxer shorts above really worked and Jack could see Ianto didn't pad that arse either, so pert and gorgeous as it gyrated, "Oh Ivy. They are perfect."

Ivy settled back a bit, her corset biting at her rib cage, "Good. Got them in the cutest baby blue too."

Ianto was back on the floor making little noises and he ripped at the other bags, finding the other pair of shoes as well as the makeup.

"Good thing we are the same tones sister, I stole enough of your shit over the years to know your favourite brands" Ivy laughed as Ianto held up tubes of colour with open glee, "Also, the new smoky eye evening pack was out."

Ianto squealed.

Jack was glad he was sitting, his boner almost ready to run across the room like an eager puppy as Ianto shone like the diamond he was.

"Clothes" Jack suddenly registered the dry cleaning comment. "Oh darling, they are all damaged as well."

"Yeah" Ianto pouted, his bright pink lips sweet as he tried some lipstick without even having a mirror, "Sucks Tiger."

"Well, does that mean a shopping spree?" Jack offered "I would love to see where you shop, see those sweet little bits and bobs that help tease."

Ianto smiled, "Well, I do still have some money from the last competition. I was going to get a bolero but…well. I need so much more now."

"Insurance will cover it all" Jack said calmly, "I made sure it was valid, I can spot you until the calm gets paid out Sugar."

Ianto gushed happily, nodding as he looked at his hand and the simple ring still there. Jack knew he was thinking of his mother and he turned to Ivy, letting Ianto have a moment of alone time, "So Ivy girl. You got work today or do you want to come shopping too? I'm afraid I will drool over everything he wants, I can't be constructive to save myself. Everything will look exotic and sexy in my dirty mind."

"Oh!" Ivy was openly surprised, "I do have the afternoon, got a cabaret tonight."

"Really?" Ianto looked up, "You will be able to come until about three right?"

"Yes, a girl needs time to put on her face" Ivy preened, "I'm going ice queen tonight."

"Oh wow, I've not seen that one yet" Ianto gushed, looking at Jack with such open happiness that he finally saw the real man. Ianto and Bunny mixed to form a lovely young man who was handsome and refined, yet sultry around the edges.

Christ.

He had fallen hard.

"Right!" Jack rose to hide his confusion at the depth of emption, "Best get dressed sugar."

"I'm going to get better shoes on if we are pounding the pavement. I have no idea what to wear!" As Ianto flounced from the room Ivy laughed, clutching her corset for more room as she tried to breathe.

"Lovely little waist" Jack told her, liking her coy look and then a growl from the doorway as Ianto frowned.

"Oi! Mine"

Jack laughed as Ianto glared at his friend, then bustled his goodies back to the bedroom, emerging a short time later in a lovely three piece suit and his hair slicked into a cocky style. Jack had thought it would be Bunny that walked out and was surprised at the spike of pleasure as he saw the lovely young man with a clean face and shy blush.

"Right!" Ianto rubbed his hands together, "Shopping!"

Jack thought Ianto shopping for Bunny would be awkward but Ivy there made it fun, Ianto acting his usual reserved self as Ivy draped herself over each man dramatically then bouncing around the store screeching in a horrid voice and saying 'Darlink' and 'Sugar Daddy' all the time.

Ianto's eye rolling was amusing.

Jack watched and saw Ianto was more of an act than Bunny, the control immense as the young man held himself a certain way, canted his head, used hand movements that were sharp. Not at all soft and sensual like Bunny.

Jack finally understood.

He was both of them.

And neither.
