I don't own Torchwood, nor will I make any money off of this, so anyone looking to sue can go away because you'd get nothing anyway!
Rating: Rated T for suggestiveness… and more later on, I know before it was just K+, but things change, and so did my rating.
Pairing: Owen/Jack
Summary: Jack and Ianto haven't been together since Jack came back three months ago. Everyone thinks that it's because Ianto doesn't want Jack anymore but it's because Jack has his eye on another guy- one who doesn't seem to notice him at all. Will Jack get his man?
Jack's Man
Chapter 2:
I listen to Shawn (or was it Sean?) make another stupid joke and laugh as if I care. Seeing as I won't get anything from him tonight, I don't. I'm relived when dinner actually gets here; he might actually shut the hell up. However, he seems to be off in his own world.
Really, I've never meet anyone so self-involved- which is hard to say because I know Jack Harkness. I'm actually looking forward to having beer with him after this. Hell, I can't believe I actually even agreed to go on a date with this man. Although in my defense I was rather drunk when I said yes. Now, normally I would have just blown it off as nothing, but I was horny as hell. But after all this pointless chatter, I don't even care anymore- I just want to get away as soon as possible.
"Hey, Shawn I've to use the loo, be right back." I say, getting him to finally shut up for a minute.
"All right, but hurry back- I've another story about this time I went swimming in the ocean with sharks." Shawn says with what would easily be called a charming smile.
I force a smile and head into the bathroom. I look up to the clock and see it's about a quarter after eight. I grab my cell and dial Jack's number and wait for him to answer.
"Yeah, Owen?" Jack asks, wondering why Owen had called him while he was on his date. He could not believe he was about to enlist Jacks help to get him out of this pointless date.
"Jack, I need you to call my cell in about five minutes, alright?" Owen tells more than asks Jack. He hears Jack laugh and if he were not so desperate to get away from this place he would have hung up on the man.
"I'll do you one better, tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up. You can say I'm your older brother, and that our mum is sick." Jack says quickly, knowing that if Owen actually called for his help, the man had to be as boring as hell. That, and he was happy to have Owen away from the man. The faster the better. It couldn't really hurt anything if it was obvious he didn't care.
"I'm at Starlet Café, hurry up." Owen says, then snaps his cell shut and heads back out to endure until Jack shows up. He hadn't brought his car, and he really didn't feel like walking to his flat anyway. With a sigh he noticed Shawn had waited to start eating until he showed up.
"I was just about to come see if you were alright. You took a bit in there." Shawn says and smiles as he stands up and pulls out a seat for me and then pushed it in. I am about to yell at the man to just stop fucking around and hurry up and eat so we could leave when the waiter comes and says the man at the bar has ordered this beer for me. We both turn around and see Jack at the bar, nodding his head at us for a moment while he says something to the waiter behind the bar. I have never been so happy to see the man in my entire life.
"That's my brother, hold on I'll be right back." I say and quickly get up and walk over to Jack, taking the beer with me as I go.
"I'm so glad to be leaving that I won't even ask how you got here so fast. Let's just head over there, say I have to go, and then get out of here." I say to him before downing the entire beer and ordering another to go. Jack nods and grabs the beer when it's ready, walking behind Owen.
"Look, Shawn, I've to go mate, my mum is sick and I need to go take care of her." I say, before turning to leave without another word. Before I could get anywhere Shawn speaks up.
"Why doesn't he just care for her until we get done? I'm sure it's nothing serious. If it is she should go to a hospital, not to you." Shawn says, obviously angry about the 'wonderful' date being interrupted.
"Because I'm a doctor, you arse! Which, if you had been paying attention to anything but yourself this whole time, you would have noticed! Let's go Jack, before I punch this arse in the face and then have to treat him." Was all I could say before walking out of the café, pissed off. Jack hung back a moment.
"Don't call him. Ever." Jack says in that if-you-go-against-my-word-you'll-wish-you-hadn't voice before walking away to catch up with me and hoping his plans for the night aren't ruined because of that moron. He walks out of the café and sees me already in the SUV waiting for him.
"Hey, where did my beer go? I know I ordered one." I say as soon as Jack gets in and starts to pull away. Jack smirks, looking in the back and pointing to a very expansive bottle of wine from the 1750's for us to share and a bag of groceries. I blink.
"Umm, Jack. I get the wine, but what's with the groceries? I don't really need them. I know I hardly keep food at my place, but that's because I'm hardly ever there." I say, trying to figure out what Jack was up to. I thought I understood, but it couldn't be.
After all, it was Ianto that Jack would pine for, not me. Right?
"Well I figured since your dinner was obviously unsatisfactory that I could try to make a better one for you back at your place. As you already said, you don't exactly carry a lot of food at your place. So I brought some." Jack says, hoping I would just leave it at that.
He was supposed to have broken into my flat, as soon as he figured out where I lived, that is, and made this all in surprise for me.
"Hey Owen, where do you live by chance? It might help me to know where to drive." Jack says with a smile; an actual smile. Not one of his eat-shit-because-I'm-better-then-you smirks. I really feel like I'm missing something here. It was true that I moved without telling them where my new flat was; I was sure that if they really needed to know where I lived they might be able to fine me.(I would be under an assumed name; got to at least make it worth moving from the get go.) I hadn't actually let another person come to my new flat, and then, without realizing it, I had agreed to allow Jack over. Jack seems to know what I'm thinking.
"I won't tell the others where you live, Owen, and I promise not to come by unless I have too. I know since Diane you like to be alone in your place." Jack says, even though it hurts him that I would prefer him not to know where I live.
"I guess you're right. Turn left up here then go to 76th in Albany Street. I live on the top penthouse floor there." I say, then smirk at Jack.
"I had better not find you streaking past my neighbors' windows, Harkness." I say with a partially joking voice, mostly being serious, though. Jack laughs.
"Why would I do that? I can just stand nude in front of your window and pose for them!" Jack says, laughing as I snort in amusement. Jack finally pulls up to my building and jumps out with the things from the back seat.
"Come on, let's get this date going!" Jack yells and runs forward into the building without waiting for me. I'm left holding the wine bottle I grabbed before Jack could.
"Did he just say date? Please tell me I'm hearing things." I ask no one in particular. When no one jumps out and says 'ha ha, we got you!' I sigh and wonder what exactly I'm getting myself into as I walk into the building.

I know still short, but it'll get better and longer soon enough. I know it's been awhile, and all I can say is sorry and I hope you liked this chapter, and some actual action (of both kinds) will be in the next one. Hope you enjoyed reading it, please leave a review!
