Jack walked down to the archives, Ianto had gotten a lot done in the hours he spent down here. "Hey," He smiled casually as Jack approached him.

"You want to come upstairs for a coffee?" Jack asked. He was going to take Toshiko's advice now and talk to him. He didn't care that there was a police woman watching them from outside, when she tried to get in is when he would start to worry about it.

"Sure," Ianto smiled. He placed the files that were in his hand on the floor neatly, and followed Jack upstairs. Toshiko smiled at Jack knowingly, making Jack feel some what under-pressure. Owen looked up acknowledged their presence before going back to finishing the report – the quicker it got done the sooner he would be able to go home. Suzie was too busy staring into space to even notice Jack walk past her. Jack sensed that something was wrong and made a mental note to talk to her when he got a chance.

Jack handed Ianto a cup of coffee he had made before going down to the archives, he took it and smiled thankfully. "So, how are you?" Jack knew it was a lame start. But he needed to make a start.

"I'm good," Ianto smiled. "And you, sir?" He shook his head, "Sorry, Jack." Jack felt his breath hitch in his throat, the way Ianto said sir made his body react. He sat behind his desk and smiled casually.

"Don't worry," Jack smiled. "So did you have fun with Toshiko?"

"Yes, she's really nice to talk to." Ianto smiled.

"What did you talk about?"

"Torchwood mostly."

"Anything else?" Jack asked curiously.

"Nothing springs to mind," Ianto smiled sheepishly.

"I was thinking..." His words were cut off when Toshiko knocked on the door.

"Sorry, but the police woman, Gwen Cooper she's in the Tourist office."

"She's here?" Jack moaned. "Now?"

"Sorry," Toshiko smiled. "What do we do?"

"Let's play with her mind a little," Jack grinned. "Ianto, go to the tourist office and let out guest in. Big shiny red button. Press it." Ianto nodded and headed out of the office, he had a feeling that Jack was going to ask him something, something that made his insides shiver with excitement.

He walked into the tourist office and felt like laughing, she was standing there holding a pizza box. She stared at Ianto blankly, wondering who he was.

"Can I help?" Ianto asked.

"I've got a delivery for Torchwood." She sounded unsure. Ianto nodded and pressed the shiny red button under his desk and watched as the stone door rolled open. Her eyes opened wide with amazement, she stared at Ianto.

"Well don't keep em waiting." He laughed and followed her in.

Owen, Toshiko and Suzie were all pissed at Jack and Ianto couldn't understand why. "We're supposed to be a fucking secret," Owen huffed.

"He can't keep telling every one about us because he wants a shag." Suzie sighed.

"I don't think he told her because he wants a shag," Toshiko smiled.

"Oh really?" Owen laughed. "Then why did he invite her out tonight?"

"To give her the retcon." Toshiko said.

"He could have given it to her here." Suzie pointed out.

"But he didn't."

"He's probably going to take her out, fuck her in some dark alley, and then make her forget." Owen laughed. "Sick bastard."

"I don't think he would do that," Toshiko said, she watched the look on Ianto's face and frowned. He looked liked a lost child who had just been told father Christmas doesn't exist.

"What do you think Ianto?" Owen asked.

"I don't care," Ianto shrugged. "He's the boss, he can do what he wants."

"He might be the boss, but we're a team. Torchwood doesn't need another member." Owen growled. "It's getting late, we should all go home and get some kip. Got a feeling it's going to be a long day tomorrow." They all agreed, Suzie and Owen rushed out leaving Toshiko and Ianto alone.

"You okay?" She asked as she moved closer to him.

"Do you think Jack's really shagging Gwen right now?"

"I know he isn't." Toshiko smiled. "Do you like him?"

"He brought me to life, I can't hate him can I?" Ianto laughed.

"You know what I mean," Toshiko smiled.

"I don't know."

"Don't give up on him, Ianto. And don't listen to half the stuff Owen says," Toshiko smiled. The cog door rolled open and Jack walked in smiling.

"You kids still up?" Jack grinned.

"I was just leaving," Toshiko smiled. Jack sat next to Ianto and smiled.

"Everything okay?" Jack asked, noticing the look on Ianto's face. It was one he hadn't seen yet.

"How did it go with Gwen?"

"She wont remember any of us," Jack smiled. He hadn't missed the fact that Ianto had avoided the question. "What you thinking?"

"Owen said you were going to shag Gwen and make her forget," Ianto said bluntly. "And when he said that, I felt... weird."

"Weird?" Jack asked.

"Something inside of me didn't want you to shag her."

"That's good because I didn't," Jack smiled. "And if I did, retcon isn't strong enough to make her forget being fucked by me." Ianto felt his body hitch slightly at the thought of how Jack was in bed. "Fancy going for some dinner?" Jack asked once Ianto hadn't said anything.

"Yeah, okay."

"Maybe a movie too," Jack smiled. He wasn't too sure how to ask Ianto if he wanted this to be a date, but he was going to try his best to make it one.
