"Tad?"

"Yes love?" Ianto looked up as Curtis entered his office, stepping over a sleeping Hawk who wore one of Babs' feather boas along with some manly boots. The sheepskin mat a good spot apparently.

"Hey. Walt and I have been talking, the filming for this season is taking it out of him and they are about to enter their mid-season break so … I was gonna get some reservations for The Gap Friday night. Any chance you can babysit?" Curtis asked hopefully "Four kids. Walt and I have little time alone right now and although it will get better … I worry with him gone so long during filming, then so tired and not connecting when he gets hope late."

"That's great idea" Ianto smiled "Four kids can really put you though the ringer. I know. John was a boon. Ton will happily take Hawk into his room so I can come over, feed and bathe then bed the little rascals. When Walt gets home you two can just change and go. I will be there no matter what time of night… or morning you get home."

"Lovely" Curtis sighed happily "I would try an overnighter but Maisey still creeps into the bed around three in the morning and I know she needs that stability. Really? A night club or something until after midnight might be good, Walt will love the cobwebs getting blown off … like we used to before the beasts."

"It's a date" Ianto said happily "go make the reservations for Friday. I will come over to do the meal … everything. You just layout the clothes so he can shower, change and then you can both shoot off into town. I'll get Animal to drive you so you can both get messy."

"Ahhhhhhhh, perks" Curt said with glee, racing off to ring the restaurant and check they still had Walter's favourite dessert on the menu. A little name drop would secure it either way. They loved their 'Piney' ya know.

Curtis settled to think of what they might wear, how they might enjoy themselves and made a mental note to get some fresh lube. They might get frisky in the time between getting home around 1 until the three am knock.

Been a while for that too.

Curtis knew he was being a bit overly anxious but all Walter seemed to talk about lately was the new guy 'Dale' who was clearly handsome and most definitely gay or at least Bi given the way Walter laughed as he told Curtis the kissing scene had to be redone several times because they got too hot.

Kissing scene?

Curtis hadn't seen that in the script and had been antsy ever since.

Yeah… a night out. Some hanky panky. Put the ring back on that finger!
