Ianto watched as Gwen walked out of the hub and through the cog door, then as Jack strolled into his office. He finished his drink in one and left Jack to brood in solitude, this gave him the chance to brood alone as well.

Jack turned the screen onto the CCTV footage of Gwen kissing Rhys then walking off hand in hand. Jack knew that Gwen would never have willingly taken the Retcon, but she knew that Jack could never do that to her. She had made such an impact on the team, on Jack, that they couldn't go back to what they were. 'But that doesn't mean she can manipulate the situation to best suit her' Jack thought bitterly to himself.

"Ianto!" Jack called, he needed a strong coffee and his passionate Welshman.

"Sir?" Ianto walked in after a few moments, rolling down the sleeves on his shirt.

"I don't suppose I could convince you to make me some of your magnificent coffee?"

"Of course." Ianto said, he had adopted his highly professional demur again.

"That's weird." Jack mumbled to himself, Ianto hadn't been that professional with him since before the Lisa incident. Except for that memorable night when they found another one of Jack's many kinks.

When he returned Ianto placed the coffee in front of Jack, but he didn't linger like he usually did. In fact he moved so that he was at least three feet away… just out of arms reach. "Anything else I can get you sir?"

"What's wrong Ianto?"

"Nothing sir, why would anything be wrong?"

"Well you calling me 'sir' is a good start, I thought we broke you out of that habit? And you're being all cold and distant."

"There's nothing wrong sir." Ianto made sure to emphasise the last word.

Jack stood up and walked over to the younger man. "Why aren't you talking to me? You're freezing me out."

Ianto closed his eyes and turned his head away. "I really don't want to get into this again."

"Again? So we've been over this before?"

"Gwen." Ianto whispered.

"Gwen? What about Gwen?"

"You have feelings for her Jack."

"Ianto I told you that what I feel for her doesn't even compare to what I feel for you."

"That doesn't change the fact that you still feel that way Jack."

Jack sighed. "Where is all of this coming from?"

"You are kidding me right?" Ianto looked into Jack's eyes. "I don't ask much from you Jack, hell I don't even ask you to be honest because I know you keep secrets for a reason. But a little consideration wouldn't go unnoticed."

"You've lost me Ianto."

"Today I was held at gun point with my hands tied behind my back. Yes I did get free, after I wrestled with dale for his gun, but he still tried to shoot me. If we hadn't shot all of the rounds off in the struggle, I would be dead. When we got back I thought that you'd at least say 'are you OK?' But no, you just wanted to get Rhys Retconned as soon as possible."

"Ianto-"

"Look, Jack, I really don't want to get into this with Tosh and Owen just outside. Actually I didn't want to get into it at all. I'm going to go down to the archives." Ianto walked straight out of the office.

"Ianto!" Jack called from his door, but Ianto just ignored him and continued walking.

"What's wrong with him?" Owen spun around in his chair.

"Um… I think I may have upset him a little."

"Oh really?" Owen said sarcastically.

"What happened?" Asked Toshiko.

"Come on Tosh," Said Owen. "You're supposed to be the smart one around here. It's obvious that Ianto's jealous of Gwen. The question should be; 'what's Jack going to do about it?'"

"Why should I do something?"

Owen rolled his eyes. "When you left, Ianto was the only one who was sure you would return, then you come back and you flirt with Gwen more than ever. And what would you have honestly done if one of us pulled what she just did with Rhys?"

"I don't know what I'd do." Jack paused and thought on this. "But Ianto knows how I feel about him."

"Does he?" Asked Toshiko. "Look, just show him that he really does have you."
