Chapter 4: The Start Of A New Day-Ianto & Jack

Ianto awoke early (as usual), but what was puzzling was the fact that he couldn't get out of his bed. Ianto turned around and found the source of his dilemma... Jack. Ianto wasn't puzzled anymore, now he was quite frustrated.

"JACK, LET GO!" Ianto yelled, hoping to wake Jack.

"Mmm..." Jack mumbled. "Ianto.."

Ianto wasn't sure if Jack was awake or dreaming, of course it wouldn't be the first time Jack had dreamt about Ianto... Jack definitely had an extremely dirty mind!

"Ianto... can we play naked..."

"JACK HARKNESS!!! WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!!" Ianto yelled, not wanting Jack to finish that sentence, let alone the dream.

"What, Ianto?" Jack moaned. "I was having a great dream!" Jack grinned, trying to remember the dream.

"I know I heard." Ianto said, more to himself than Jack.

At this comment Jack jumped up and whispered,

"I could tell you the bits you didn't hear."

Ianto turned to face Jack and said, "I don't think so Jack."

Jack grabbed Ianto and pulled him closer, whispering,

"Why not?" And then a cheeky smile crossed his face.

"Because Jack, we're gonna be late."

"I thought I was the boss." Jack replied.

"At work you're the boss but in my flat, I'm the BOSS. And the boss says get up!"

"Ianto, no matter where we are, I'm still the boss!"

Ianto looked at him and gave a 'whatever' sign. "Jack, I'm taking a shower and you better be out of the bed and ready for a shower when I've finished."

"And no you are NOT coming in the shower with me."

"But it will save time and then we won't be late, will we?" Jack raised an eyebrow.

"NO JACK!" Just as Ianto left the room, Jack slumped back in the bed. "JACK!" Ianto called from the bathroom.

"Fine bossy boots." Jack mumbled, then he had cheeky idea.

Jack snuck into the bathroom, right up to the shower and then... grabbed Ianto round the waist, causing Ianto to yell out and nearly kick Jack in between the legs.

"Whoa, babes!"

"I am so going to kill you Jack!" Ianto said, trying to punch Jack somewhere in the upper region.

"Now Ianto babes, how many times have you said that?" Jack joked.

"Mmm... Let's think... how MANY times have I told you that you can't come in the shower with me?" Ianto said, still trying to struggle from Jack's grip.

"Oops, if I don't take a shower I'll smell, if I wait for you to finish then take one, we'll be late.

" What do you think the boss will say, Ianto?"

Ianto pretended to think about this, "Mmm...I don't know... maybe I'm gonna give you a slap!"

"You see Ianto, if you keep talkin' like that and then there's no way I can wait for you to finish in the shower."

"JACK, LET GO!" Ianto wasn't actually angry, he was just really cold.

"Ianto, are you cold?"

"No Jack I'm not." Ianto lied.

The truth was he was freezing, he just knew what Jack had on his mind.

"Ok, I'll let you warm up."

"Jack, this is not the time."

Jack looked shocked. "I don't mean it like that. Go on."

Ianto turned to look at Jack, "What?!"

Jack put a hand on Ianto's cheek and said, "Go on, get in the warm. I don't want you getting ill babes."

Ianto kissed Jack and mumbled a thank you. Ianto could just make out the clock in the bedroom; there really wasn't enough time for them to have a shower separately.

After what Jack had just said, he wanted to show him some gratitude for being so sweet.

"Jack...I..."

Jack hushed him and said, "It doesn't matter Yan."

Again another sweet comment. This time Ianto wasn't going to ask. He grabbed Jack's hand and gently pulled Jack into the shower & under the hot spray.

"Ianto..."

It was Ianto's turn to hush Jack. "Jack... you can be a total ass at times, stop it, but most of the time you're really sweet and protective of me and..."

Again Jack hushed Ianto and said, "I like Gwen and I'll protect her but you're the one I love."

Jack looked into Ianto's eyes. "Ok, beautiful blue eyes."

Ianto started giggling and Jack just smirked. Ianto kissed Jack again, except this time for longer & more loving. Ianto's heart skipped so many beats when Jack kissed him back as equally as loving, that Ianto thought his heart would stop.

When they broke apart, Ianto said, "You need a shower, Jack!"

Jack was surprised when he saw a cheeky smile on Ianto's face.

"Ianto Jones, what are you thinking?"
