Rhys and Jack had never seen eye to eye. Rhys had learned to live with Jack's presence, but he was never particularly happy with the fact that his wife spent every day with such an obviously flirtatious man. On the other hand, Rhys had always got on with Ianto. It wasn't that they were friends, more that they understood each other.

So, when Jack called Gwen into his office to discuss her bringing Rhys into the hub (AGAIN), Rhys went to Ianto to ask him something which could possibly put his mind at rest.

"Ianto?"

"Yep?" Ianto looked up from the paperwork he'd been working on.

"You know Jack?"

"I think I'm familiar with him" Ianto laughed.

"Well," Rhys began uncomfortably, "Is he gay, by any chance?"

Ianto considered for a moment, "He prefers the term 'omnisexual'" he grinned, "basically, he'll do anything with a pulse"

Rhys gulped nervously, "So, him and Gwen, there might be something there?"

Ianto sighed, "Is that what you were getting at?"

Rhys nodded.

"Rhys, I don't think there's anything for you to worry about. From what I've heard from Gwen, she's pretty much head over heels for you"

"Really? What has she told you?"

Ianto chuckled, "Nothing too embarrassing for you, Rhys, although she may have mentioned something about the alien handcuffs"

Rhys blushed, "I, um.....well, I...."

"Don't worry about it" Ianto grinned, "I won't tell a soul"

Rhys relaxed visibly, "So there's nothing going on between her and Jack?"

"I bloody hope not!" Ianto laughed, just as Jack came bounding down the stairs, Gwen walking behind much less flamboyantly.

"Why do you say.....?" Rhys began, but stopped as Jack came up behind Ianto and wrapped his arms around the man's waist, kissing his neck softly.

"Hi, Rhys, sorry about stealing your wife there, she's all yours for the rest of the day"

Rhys was speechless. He stared between Jack's confused look and Ianto's wide smirk.

"You....you two are..." Rhys burst into hysterical laughter.

Jack looked at Ianto questioningly, who mimed, "I'll explain later"

Gwen nodded goodbye as she led her bemused husband out of the hub. As soon as the cog door rolled closed behind them, Jack turned to Ianto.

"So, what was all that about?" he asked, placing his hands on Ianto's hips.

"Rhys had his suspicions that you and Gwen were....you know" he answered, "And he chose to ask me my opinion on the matter"

"Oh, really?" Jack laughed, "And what was your opinion?"

"I told him that Gwen was totally in love with him, and that I hoped there was nothing going on between you" Ianto grinned, "he was confused as to why I was so bothered until you came down. What you saw was relief"

"Well, that's good to know" Jack smiled, "Hold on, what do you mean, 'you hoped'?"

Ianto looked uncomfortable, "Well, I couldn't tell him for sure, I mean, you never know"

Jack pulled Ianto closer so they were nose to nose.

"Ianto Jones, when will you realise?" he sighed, "Why would I ever do anything with Gwen, or anyone for that matter? I have you, and that's all I'll ever want"

Ianto beamed, "Really?"

Jack nodded, "You have no idea how much you mean to me" he admitted, leaning in to press a chaste kiss to Ianto's lips. Ianto sighed contentedly as he pulled back.

"You mean so much to me, too, Jack. In fact" Ianto smirked, "How about I show you exactly how much?"

Jack raised his eyebrows, "Why, Mr Jones, are you trying to seduce me?" he gasped in mock horror.

Ianto laughed, leaning in to pepper light kisses to Jack's neck.

"I do believe I am, Sir" he murmured against Jack's neck, causing him to shiver. Jack wordlessly grabbed Ianto by the belt and pulled him towards his office, grinning at the idea that Rhys could think he would want to do this with anybody else, when he had this gorgeous Welshman to call his own.
