"Ianto? Where are you?"
"I'm in the tourist office Sir. You know working!"
"Could I get a coffee when you got a minute?"
"I'll be right down."
"Thank you."
Ianto walked down to the hub and went straight to the kitchen area to make coffee. Meanwhile Jack was in his office doing nothing as usual and Gwen was at home having the day off to be with Rhys, while Tosh and Owen was out chasing a Weevil. Ianto finally made his way to Jack's office with a cup of coffee, he knocked on the door and waited until Jack told him to enter.
"Ianto, there really isn't any reason for you to knock. I mean Gwen never knocks, and neither did Tosh and Owen."
"I know, but it's a habit that's difficult to get rid of."
"Well please try."
"Will do Sir. Here is your coffee. Anything else I can get you while I'm here?"
"A date."
"Huh?"
"I said a date."
"A date Sir?"
"Yeah you know like, dinner and a movie."
"Umm, okay."
"Great. Go home early and get ready and I'll pick you up at 7."
"Tonight?"
"Yes tonight."
"Kinda short notice don't you think?"
"Maybe, but it's not easy to plan a date when you don't know when the rift is gonna have activity."
"That's true Sir."
"Ianto, I know you call me Sir when we are at work, but seeing as it's just the two of us, could you please call me Jack instead?"
"Sure Jack and I would love to go on that date with you tonight."
"Good and just know that it won't be the last!"
"I hope not."
-o-
Ianto was almost finished getting ready when Jack knocked on his apartment door. Ianto opened the door and let Jack in.
"You're early."
"Sorry, I just couldn't wait for our date."
"Just hold on two minutes and I'll be ready. Make yourself at home."
"Thanks."
Jack sat down on the couch and waited for Ianto to finish. Ianto came out, dressed in tight Jeans and a red dress shirt. When Jack saw him, he was almost drooling.
"Wow. I always knew that red was your color, but damn you look hot."
"Thank you Jack, you look very handsome yourself."
"Ready to go?"
"Sure, just let me get my keys."
"Okay."
Ianto went to the kitchen to get his keys and came back 2 seconds later.
"Ready."
Jack and Ianto left Ianto's apartment and got into the SUV (Which Jack has in case of an emergency.).
-o-
Jack stopped the SUV outside an Italian restaurant.
"Jack this is great, I love this restaurant."
"Good, cause I had to pull a few strings to get a table."
-o-
The first hour of the date was spent making small talk and eating, when they were done Jack looked at Ianto and smiled, he still couldn't believe he was on a date with Ianto Jones.
"So, you wanna get out of here and go for a walk?"
"Sure, lead the way."
Jack paid for the meal (On Torchwood's account of course.) and they left the restaurant. They climbed into the SUV, thinking they might as well drive back to the hub and park it before going for their walk.
-o-
After a while of walking Ianto stopped and turned to Jack with a smile on his face and Jack thought he'd never looked better than he did at that moment. The moonlight shining like a spot on Ianto, making him look like an angel.
"Thank you Jack, this night has be perfect."
"You're welcome Ianto."
"Not that I want this date to end, but it's getting really late and you know the rift doesn't take a day off just because we were out late."
"Sometimes I really wish it did."
They turned around and started walking back to the hub where Ianto's car had been left earlier that day. When they were halfway back Ianto felt something near his hand. He looked down to see Jack's hand trying to get the courage to take a hold of Ianto's. Ianto's smile grew when Jack finally intertwined their fingers.
-o-
When they got to the hub, Jack didn't let go of Ianto's hand, almost in fear that if he did Ianto wouldn't be there anymore.
"Thank you once again for this lovely evening."
"Again you're welcome. I just wish it didn't have to end."
"Yeah me too, but we really should get some sleep."
"Come down to the hub with me, just for one drink."
"Jack…"
"Please."
"Okay, why not."
-o-
After they finished their drink, Jack and Ianto was in deep conversation neither noticed how long they had been there, at least not until Ianto looked at his watch.
"Well there goes that sleep."
"What do you mean?"
"It's 5.30"
"Oh, sorry."
"Don't be, this has been the best date I've ever had."
"I'm glad. Now hold still."
"Why?"
"Cause I'm gonna kiss you now."
"O…O…Okay."
Jack leaned in and kissed Ianto as if it was the last thing he would ever do. 'That might not be such a bad thing' Jack thought as they lost themselves in the kiss.
