Ianto was showing Martha what to do in the tourist office upstairs. Explaining that the office was actually only a front for Torchwood, they did occasionally get a couple of tourist come in so all the information booklets were kept up to date.
"What do you do up here on your own?" asked Martha
"I use the time to archive material, I'll show you how to access the computer, there's always plenty of paperwork to do done and reports to be written Jack says you're to help me with the reports"
"Ianto can I ask you something?"
"Of course" he said
"Jack hasn't really told me what exactly Torchwood does?"
"You'll need to talk to Jack, all I can tell you is that we don't work on the same lines as London"
"Well that I'm glad about that lot give me the creeps," she said smiling
"Me too" he said smiling at her
"Ok so what do I do all day"?
"You can type some reports up for me, I have a lot more to do now than I used to this was Jacks idea that we take someone else on to run this office"
"Do I have to sit up here on my own all day, coz I couldn't handle that"?
"I used to but that was before.." he stopped he was about to mention Lisa
"Before what?"
"Erm before Jack decided he wanted me to be a closer member of the team"
"I'm sorry Ianto I talk to much, I ask too many questions the doctor always said that"
Now it was Ianto turn to ask a question
"Martha tell me, what was Jack like when he travelled with the doctor"
"I only met him a couple of times, the last one was one I'd rather forget but I can't"
"The master, Jack told me about him"
"He did" she said amazed
"When Jack came back, he insisted on telling me everything that happened. Everyone here thought he was dead because he was gone too long" said Ianto with a tear in his eye
"What about you?"
"Me no, I knew he was alive and that he'd come back"
"How? He so very nearly died at the hands of the master" said Martha remembering the torture that the master had put Jack through, he'd had him stripped naked and tied to a metal post at one point taking delight in slicing his skin and watching him bleed.
"I know Martha, I also knew that he would come back," he said touching his wedding ring with his thumb and smiling
"One more question and I'll let you get back to work," she said
"Alright one more"
"Tosh said earlier that you and Jack are married, is that true?"
"Yes" said Ianto smiling and showing her the platinum band on his finger
"So you're the one he felt so strongly for," she said suddenly with a glazed look in her eyes
"Jack you can stay and travel with us you know" said the doctor
Jack looked at Martha and then at the doctor
"No take me home, home to Cardiff same time as you picked me up"
"Why do you want to go back so bad?" he asked, a hurt and puzzled look on his face this was the first time someone had actually refused to continue to travel with him when he asked
"Please I just need to be back there," said Jack
"What you leave someone behind?" said the doctor smiling
"Someone yes, I need to get back I should never have left without saying goodbye"
The doctor nodded and dropped Jack back in Cardiff, a year after he left. No one in Torchwood had any memory of the what had actually happened only Jack remembered, Ianto knew something had happened but couldn't remember what. Jack told hi everything.
"He mentioned me"
"Promise you won't tell him"
Ianto shook his head
"Jack used to call your name in his sleep, I heard him a few times while he was with us"
"You never asked him?"
"No, I used to think he was saying Jan, but I heard him call you Yan yesterday and I knew it was you. Ianto he used to cry every night when he was alone in his room, now I know why. He left you behind and it was killing him, he loved you then"
Ianto had tears in his eyes; he reached up to wipe them away
"Please don't tell him I told you, he doesn't even know I heard him I never told him or the doctor I just figured he'd tell us if he wanted to"
"I won't thank you Martha"
He turned back to the computer terminal and explained to Martha that at the moment she could only access the Internet not the Torchwood Archives. Secretly he was going to ask Jack to 'up' her security level. If she was going to work for Torchwood she had to know everything from the start. After all she had travelled with him and the doctor so she knew the existence of aliens and the threat that they held for the earth. He pulled up one of his latest reports and printed it off so that Martha could see how Jack liked them typed. He was extremely fussy about correctly typed reports.
"Ianto please report to my office" came the voice through Iantos ear piece
"On my way sir" said Ianto smiling, he knew calling Jack sir now, really turned him on.
"'Cuse me" said Martha not realising Ianto was answering Jack
"Sorry Martha I've got to go downstairs, you can call me if you need to with this" he gave her an earpiece and explained how to use it. Then left her to go back into the hub. He walked in to find Jack leaning on the railing outside his office. His coffee mug in his hand
"You wanted me Sir?" he said walking up the few steps to Jack
"I still can't figure out that bloody machine," he said holding out his mug
Ianto smiled and took the mug; he turned to walk away as Jack cleared his throat
"Was there something else?" he asked turning round
"I've missed you," he said quietly
"I'll bring your coffee right in Sir" he said and walked into the small kitchen. He made coffee for Jack, Tosh and Gwen and a tea for himself. Leaving his and Jacks drinks he took the girls theirs.
"Great thanks Ianto," said Tosh
"Thanks" said Gwen as he put her coffee on her workstation
Ianto smiled. They always thanked him for coffee. He looked at Owens desk; it was too quiet without him. He walked back to get his tea and Jacks coffee.
With both his hands full he couldn't knock on Jacks office, so he gently kicked it instead.
"Come in and close the door Yan" called Jack
"I can't, you'll have to open it" he called back
The door opened and Ianto walked in, thankfully he put the mugs on the desk before he turned round when he heard the door shut behind him.
Jack was standing there, naked. His erection fully visible.
"Jack, anyone could walk in," said Ianto in shock
He flicked the lock on the door
"Now they can't, come here," he said walking towards him
Ianto took off his jacket and met Jack in the middle of the office the kiss was incredible, pure hunger and passion. Jacks hands immediately pulled Ianto as close as he could get him while Ianto held onto Jack so tightly they both found it hard to breath. Their lips parted for a few seconds as they both gasped for breath, then met again as Jacks hands stared to remove Iantos clothes.
He bent Ianto over the desk and squeezed some lube over him and entered him, moaning as he thrust into him
"God I need you Yan," he moaned
"I need you too, harder Jack" he moaned
