Day Five
Ianto felt a poke in his side and another he rolled over he was poked again, had he rolled right across the bed in the night? He rolled again and rolled straight out of the bed with a thump, he managed to take the duvet with him. He heard Jacks laughter as he stayed happily if not slightly surprised rolled in the warm duvet on the floor he heard footsteps and the door open.
"Are you two all right in here I heard a loud bump and then laughter." Tosh's voice floated to Ianto through the duvet that was wrapped around his head he sat up and this made Jacks peels of laugher renew with a new vigour.
"Ianto you looked ridiculous!" Tosh said through her laughing. The duvet was wrapped around his head obscuring him completely but they could still see him looking around but it looked like the duvet had a mind of its own.
"I may look ridiculous but I am comfy and warm."
"What?" said Jack Iantos voice was so muffled by the covers he could only hear, look, I, warm. Ianto wriggled and pulled the duvet away from his face.
"I said, I may look ridiculous but I am comfy and warm." Jack looked down at Ianto his hair stuck up at odd angles he looked unbelievably adorable. Tosh was still in the doorway. "Jack, why did you poke me out of bed?"
"I didn't mean to I was trying to wake you up." Ianto managed to fight his arms out. Tosh grinned at him.
"I'll leave you two too it."
"Hang on Tosh who else is up?" Ianto asked stepping out of his nest of duvet and then putting it back on the bed over Jack.
"No one it's really early."
"Sorry we woke you." Jack said.
"Oh don't worry I was already awake." She turned.
"Tosh stay here with Jack I'll do some toast and coffee and we can eat in here." Jack nodded.
"Yeh, Join us Tosh it'll be fun." Tosh nodded and sat awkwardly on the end of the bed. Ianto left hearing Jack saying for her to snuggle under the covers. It wasn't long before he returned to the room to see Tosh laughing Laptop on knee in the middle of the bed he climbed in next to her so she was sandwiched in the middle he handed out coffees and plates of toast before seeing what they were looking at. Photos were slowly going round in a slide show the one now was of Owen covered in a green gloop.
"I remember when that thing sneezed on him. It took the dry cleaners 4 washes to get it out." The photo changed to one of Owen and Tosh down in the med bay looking up at whoever had the camera. Then next was of Jack his trademark grin plastered across his face. The next was of him sat on the sofa in the Hub looking tired but happy.
"There are loads." Said Tosh pausing it on one of Jack and Ianto, it must have been taken off the CCTV Jack had his arms wrapped around Ianto and his chin rested on his shoulder. They were both smiling happily. Jack was already munching on his toast.
"I feel like a little kid again!" Tosh laughed.
"I know what you mean." Ianto smiled.
"Yeh when you used to climb in and have breakfast in bed on your birthday."
"Also at Christmas." Jack said smiling. The others agreed. Ianto bit into his toast thoughtfully. He could hear the rain outside already it was hammering down.
"Raining heavily isn't it." Jack said as if reading Iantos mind.
"Yeh it is, glad I packed an umbrella." Ianto said.
"It's alright Gwen will need it." Jack grinned.
"Jack you can't just tell Gwen to drive!" Ianto said exasperatedly.
"Watch me!" Jack said grinning.
"See what I have to deal with!" Ianto said smiling at Tosh.
"Oh but I bet the sex makes up for it." She said straight faced. Jack nearly choked on his toast she reached behind him and patted him on the back once he'd finished coughing he said rather hoarsely.
"Thanks."
"Yes I think your right." Ianto agreed taking another bite out of his toast.
"I suspected as much." They nodded together and continued to eat their toast. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in toast eaters anonymous are in session in the Harkness-Jones suite." Jack called out and Owen opened the door he raised an eyebrow at the sight in front of him before pulling out a camera and snapping the photo.
"Why not Jones-Harkness?" Ianto asked.
"I dunno I'll say that next time." Ianto nodded offering Owen a slice of toast.
"Thanks can I join this little party."
"Toast eater's anonymous meeting." Jack insisted.
"Yeh right join that." Owen asked sitting on the end of the bed cross-legged opposite Jack. "It's chucking it down out there no point moving off till later see if it lets off a bit." Owen started to eat the toast.
"Is Gwen still asleep?" Tosh asked and Owen nodded.
"Did you tire her out at the pub last night?" Jack grinned.
"No, but Ianto looks extremely ruffled last night so I guess you had good time last night."
"Oh we did." Jack grinned.
"Jack pushed me out of bed this morning!" Ianto said disgruntled.
"I didn't push you I poked you."
"That's barely the point!"
"Well it's why he looks so adorably forlorn!" Jack cooed. Ianto scowled.
"Don't worry Jones if he bullies you too much you can just withhold sex!" Owen grinned and the look on Jacks face fell making them all laugh.
"I'll remember that Owen Thanks." Jack did his best goldfish impression.
"So who's for more coffee?" Ianto said clapping his hands together.
"Confined to the inside, I could get this at work!" Owen moaned.
"Well you could go drive!" Jack suggested.
"Err...no I'll leave that to PC Cooper!"
"I can't believe you made her drive." Ianto looked up at Jack from where he sat on the floor. Jacks hand combed through the young man's hair.
"She doesn't mind." Tosh and Owen shared the sofa Jack sat in the armchair and Ianto sat at his feet book in hand.
"I feel bad I'm going to go take over."
"Don't you dare Ianto not till after lunch alright then you can drive!" Jack said putting his hand on Ianto's shoulder.
"Alright fine."
"Is anyone else cold?" Owen asked.
"A little." Tosh agreed.
"I'm going to light a fire in that little fire stovey thing." Owen pointed to the black enclosed stove in the corner. The others nodded and Owen went and attached the chimney outside before coming and lighting it. There was a small basket filled with logs and more stored under the seats at the front. The room soon warmed up.
"When we next moor there's a water point where we can fill up with fresh water and dispose of the waste." Ianto said looking at the booklet the hire company had provided them with.
"We must do that else there isn't a point till next Tuesday!" Tosh said agreeing with him. "and if we don't fill up on water we will have to share showers!" She grinned.
"It's alright Harkness and Jones are well practiced in that!" Owen added from behind his magazine.
"Well if you want practice Owen you are quite welcome to join us!" Jack said and Ianto winced beneath his hand.
"Thanks for the offer but I'll give it a miss." Ianto pulled his phone out and texted Jack. Jack read it. I'm not sharing you with Owen Harper! I x Jack smiled and texted back. I'm not sharing you with anyone! J xx Ianto smiled.
"Coffee anyone?" he said stretching. They all nodded. Ianto stood up kissing Jack on the head and he crossed around behind him over to the galley.
"You know if this rain doesn't let off we may as well just park up," Owen said thoughtfully, "we can all stay warm and dry, and I'm sure Ianto has a wet weather plan!"
"I think Owens right Gwen must be miserable out there." Tosh added putting her laptop down. Ianto produced coffee to them and then took one up to Gwen.
"I do have games, card and lots of alcohol packed so I'm sure we can find something to do." Ianto said sitting back at Jacks feet.
"Oh Ianto you know how to live." Owen genuinely smiled.
"Well I know how much Jack enjoys playing strip poker!"
"To much detail." Owen shouted putting his fingers in his ears. Jack stood up as he walked past Owen hit him playfully around the head with the paper.
"I'll tell Gwen to Park up and I'll give her a hand."
"I'll start lunch." Ianto said getting up carefully.
"Great then we will really start to party." Grinned Owen.
"I'm board." Shouted Owen and Ianto looked at him unimpressed.
"So what do you want to do?"
"We could play scrabble!" Tosh smiled.
"Yeh scrabble!" Owen said grinning we could do that!" he jumped up and grabbed the board game out the cupboard.
"I'll pair up with Jack." Ianto said and Owen set the board up. No one complained Jack was rubbish at scrabble and with Ianto he actually stood a chance against Tosh.
"Right everyone take seven tiles!" they did.
"Jones as youngest you can start and you have an added disadvantage." Owen said as he studied his own tiles. Jack whispered in Iantos ear and Ianto nodded.
"Weevil 16 points." Jack said happily placing it on the board the W on a double letter score. The team groaned and Ianto smiled happily.
"There had to be at least one this holiday!" Ianto added. Tosh went next.
"Ravenous 14 points." She placed her tiles down. Then Owen went.
"Serious 18." He said placing them down getting a double word score.
"Something you never are." Gwen added placing down Weary getting 30 points with a double letter and a double word score Ianto stared at his and Jacks letters.
"Zygote 38 points." Ianto said writing down the score.
"Trust you to use a Z and a Y in one word!" Owen groaned.
"Oh I can beat that score." Tosh place down her tiles queueing (yes that is a word within the dictionary!) on a triple word score. 57 points Ianto had already started to plan his next word. Owen put down Rampant 17 points he was very pleased. Next Gwen with colander 24 points.
"There look." Jack pointed at their tile and Ianto nodded. "Jukebox – double 8 on the J double 5 on the K and oh double word score! 40 points." Tosh put down hardware on a double word score getting 30 points. Owen was struggling putting meal onto the left of a Y get my and meal earning 26 points. Gwen's next move was genie (21 points) then Ianto went with Vapid (30) Tosh went with oodles and Owen consulted the dictionary to check it was really a word (of course it was.) Owen got Fin (6) Gwen managed to get 24 points with hour. Then Jack got 12 points with beat. Tosh used all her tiles up and finished with Hay (18). Owen got Hoot (21) and Gwen got cat (7) Ianto got Fib just as he was about to give up. Tosh had finished happily and was going to make coffee.
Owen lay If onto the board. Getting a surprising 7 points, Gwen put and N down to get a whole 3 points with No and then Ianto got 6 with Id.
"ID isn't a word." Owen exclaimed.
"Yes it is not ID as in identification but Id as in the minds instinctive unconscious energies."
"Oh trust you to go all psychological on us as well!" Owen said sitting back grumpily. Tosh carried on in the galley listening to them argue. Owen added and i and got Sin for 6 points and Gwen got Ta (short for thanks) for 2 points and Ianto added his left over s to Fib to make fibs for 15 points.
"Well a high scoring game slowly slid down Tosh won as she got rid of all her tiles first but the points stand as. Ianto and myself with 171, Tosh has 143, Gwen got 111 and Owen just reached over 100 with 101! Well done guys." Jack looked at his watch "Anyone for another game?"
"No I'm done with scrabble, what other games did you bring Ianto?"
"Err not many there were some on here already."
"Like what?" Tosh asked after handing out coffees.
"Frustration, trivial pursuit and something else, I bought cards."
"We could play cheat!" Jack said excitedly.
"Cheat?" asked Gwen.
"Yeh, you deal out the cards then someone starts and puts a card down face first and they say what it is so say a Queen then the next person has to put down a king and so on around the table. You can put either the same card on top the next card up or the next card down." He paused for breath.
"What he's trying to say is if it's a queen you can play a Jack, a Queen or a king but you have to state what it is." Ianto surmised.
"What if you don't have an appropriate card?" Gwen asked.
"Ah you have to put one down and lie so say play a 10 and say it's a king, thing is you don't know what the others have so they can call you on it if they say cheat and you did you get all the cards in the middle. If you didn't cheat they get all the cards in the middle."
"That's pretty simple." Everyone nodded.
"Also you have to watch some people like to try playing more than one card at a time you can call them on that as well." Ianto said looking at Jack who had gone to find the packs of card.
"But how would you tell."
"The person before knows what they played so you know what's on top." Tosh said sitting down on the floor next to Ianto.
"Right." Gwen nodded.
"Person who gets rid of their cards first wins." Jack said.
"We will play just one pack first Jack." Ianto said taking the second pack off him, "till Gwen gets the hang of it."
"You play with two packs?"
"Makes it harder." Said Owen sipping his coffee the taking the cards Jack had dealt him placing them in order.
"Gwen you're to the left of the dealer you can start any card you like." Tosh smiled.
"Ace." Gwen started.
"Two." Tosh continued.
"Three." Ianto smiled placing the card down neatly.
"Four." Owen played.
"Five." For probably the only time in the game Jack didn't cheat.
"Six." Gwen added to the pile
"Seven." Tosh played.
"Eight."Ianto stretched slightly.
"Nine." Owen threw the card down.
"Ten." Jack said pulling the card out.
"Jack." Was Gwen's play.
"Yes Gwen?" Ianto rolled his eyes
"Queen." Tosh continued. Putting down a king
"King." Ianto put down a queen.
"Ace." Owen said too happily.
"Cheat." Called Jack Owen grumpily picked up the cards.
"Seven." Owen started.
"Eight."
"Nine." Gwen said although she played a ten.
"Ten." Tosh continued.
"Jack." Ianto placed his card down.
"Queen."
"King." Jack played a two just for the hell of it.
"Ace."
"Two." Tosh said quietly.
"Cheat?" Ianto said slyly Tosh turned over then card grinning then picked them all up.
"Nine." She started
"Ten." Ianto added. They continued at a faster pace.
"Jack."
"Queen."
"King."
"Ace."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four." Jack added with a flourish.
"Cheat." Ianto grinned and Jack scowled. Picking up the heap of cards.
"Jack." He started.
"Queen." Gwen and the quick firing number came again.
"King."
"Ace."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four."
"Five."
"Six."
"Seven."
"Eight.
"Nine." Gwen only had two cards left now.
"Ten."
"Jack."
"Queen."
"King."
"Ace."
"Cheat." Owen said studiously. Gwen picked up the cards.
"Two." Gwen started.
"Three."
"Four." Ianto played one card left in his hand.
"Cheat." Jack called on Ianto who pushed the cards towards Jack. He turned them over and Ianto had played the correct number.
"Six" Jack started
"Seven."
"Eight."
"Nine." said Ianto playing his last card.
"That has to be a cheat." Said Jack grinning.
"No," said Ianto "that's a nine." He turned the card over and sure enough, it was a nine.
"Game over Ianto wins."
"Unbelievable." Muttered Jack.
"How can you not believe it? it's right in front of your face." Ianto said cheekily as Owen stood up and stretch meaning Jack could dive at him and pin him down tickling him.
"Don't be so cheeky." He said between breaths ticking Ianto relentlessly.
"Stop." Ianto gasped through his laughing, "Please...Jack." the others just watched them fool around.
"Are you going to stop being so cheeky?" Jack asked stopping tickling Ianto for a minute. Ianto seemed to consider the question.
"No." He said grinning and Jack started to tickle him again.
"Alright, alright." Ianto continued laughing. "I surrender I won't be cheeky." Jack lent in and kissed him softly. Gwen felt a twinge of jealousy watching how happy they were. She and Rhys never messed around anymore she thought about how serious Ianto looked and how fun-loving Jack was, she couldn't see how they fitted together but she'd started to see it in the last few days. They balanced each other perfectly.
"Right I'll started dinner." Ianto said pushing Jack off him playfully.
"I'll help." Jack said getting up.
"And we will stay out of your way!" Owen said sitting down and turning on the TV.
A few hours later they had eaten a lovely meal of spaghetti bolognaise they all sat down to watch a DVD Ianto and Jack sat curled around one another on the sofa the other three all sat in front, the girls on the floor and Owen sat in the arm chair. Jack stroked Iantos hair softly and Ianto looked up at him mouthing.
"You ok?" Jack nodded placing a kiss on the young man's forehead. Ianto turned back to the movie, slowly moving his fingers in a pattern on Jacks chest. Jack smiled to himself Ianto did the subconsciously and he loved it he felt like it was Iantos way of telling him he was happy and safe without actually saying the words. The movie was pretty good a romantic comedy picked out by Tosh and Gwen it was about mid way through when Ianto started to feel tired. He could feel himself drifting off to sleep, the steady beat of Jacks heart not helping. He felt his eyelids get heavier and heavier knowing he should get up and go to bed but not wanting to leave the safe, warm comfort of Jack.
"Ianto, wake up." He heard Jack say right at the edge of his mind. "You look adorable but if I try carry you through this space I will knock you out." Ianto groaned slightly and sat up slowly.
"Sorry." He muttered.
"It's alright, I liked it but time for bed!" Jack grinned as he watched Ianto stand up and plod his way down the hall. Jack followed and they undressed and got ready for bed snuggling in under the covers together, Ianto wrapped himself around Jack and promptly fell asleep Jack smiled kissed Iantos forehead again and fell asleep.
