Rating: T (I had originally rated this M but as our boys are only just meeting nothing will happen yet. When it does I will mark all M)
Author's notes: This is completely AU. Set in Jack and then Ianto's P.O.V (I've written up to where they meet so it may change from there on in, as I'm not sure how it will work doing the P.O.V's in different parts!) All mistakes are my own. Also this is my first story so please be nice.
A/N: I've changed the layout so both P.O.V's are in the same chapter. Let me know what you think. I'm still not 100% happy with how it reads but hey ho!
Right so enjoy and let me know what you think x
Thanks for the reviews, alerts etc so far x
Deep inside you feel the same way I do
Jack had checked both the fridge and freezer continuously for the last ten minutes, there was nothing edible in there, well not enough to make a meal anyway. Jack briefly considered going shopping before grabbing the Chinese menu off the fridge. He picked up the phone and rang his order though.
-TW-TW-TW-
Ianto had unpacked two boxes quite successfully and was debating between food and unpacking a third box when his stomach growled deciding for him. He stood and headed to the kitchen, he knew the fridge was empty all but a few bottles of beer and some milk so he reached for the box of take away menus. "Pizza? Nope had the Saturday." He picked up another. "Indian? Last night, Chinese? Hum maybe." He quickly scanned through the menu decided on a few dishes and rang his order through.

Jack headed to his bedroom, got changed and drank the remains of the coffee he'd made earlier. After putting his cup back on the side he grabbed his keys and headed to the front door. As he walked down the steps at he front of his building he heard another door shut and looked up. Ianto was running down his steps. "Hello again" Jack shouted before he could stop himself. Ianto looked over and smiled. Jacks heart leapt into his throat. "Hey" Ianto shouted back, "Off out?" Jack asked. "Food" Ianto yelled not being able to say much more. "Yeah me too." Jack said as he got in his car.
-TW-TW-TW-
Ianto went back through to the living area and finished his coffee, he quickly went back to the kitchen to wash his cup. He picked up his Jacket and put it on before heading out the door and down to his car. As he hurried down the steps he heard a familiar American accent. "Hello again" Ianto looked up slightly surprised but happily so. "Hey " Ianto shouted 'Say something else think man think!' but he didn't need to. "Off out?" Jack asked. "Food" Ianto shouted back, 'Smooth Jones, real smooth.' Ianto rolled his eyes at himself."Yeah me too." Jack shouts and gets in his car. Ianto watches Jack climb inside his car before getting into his own.
-TW-TW-TW-
Jack starts the engine and stares at Ianto's car in his rear view mirror. That man was just simply gorgeous, maybe he could eat him for his dinner instead? Jack shook the thought away and pulled out into the road turning on his headlights as an after thought.
-TW-TW-TW-
Ianto starts his engine and waits for Jack to leave first, he didn't want a repeat of his journey home. As he waited he couldn't help but think how handsome the older man was, his thoughts were broken as Jack pulled out of his space. Ianto was just about to flash his lights to tell Jack he hadn't put his on as they came on. Ianto pulled out of his parking space and headed off down the road.
-TW-TW-TW-
It was five minutes later when Jack was stood in the Chinese waiting for his order. "Hey." He hears those welsh tones and turns to see the one and only Ianto Jones walking towards him and damn if he didn't just look as edible as Jack had thought. Jack chuckles at the shy smile on Ianto's face. "Oh so soon, are you following me?" Jack asks. "That would be impossible. How many tickets do you pick up each week?" Ianto smirked at him leaning on the counter saying "Jones" in his deep, accent thick voice making Jacks eyes widen. Ianto looks back to him and smiles, oh what that smile and that voice could do to Jack and the younger man was completely oblivious.

After taking two wrong turns and wishing he'd paid more attention to where the Chinese was when he came with Tosh he parked just down the street. As he walked towards the Chinese he noticed a black SUV parked, if you could call it that, on the opposite side of the street. He sighed, honestly of all the take outs in Cardiff they had to pick the same one.
He opened the door to the shop and walked in he paused briefly as he saw Jack, he looked sensational in a worn pair of Jeans and a navy blue polo shirt that fit in all the right places. Ianto blinked hard, shook his head and made his presence known. "Hey."
Jack turns to look at him smiling, all but taking Ianto's breath away, he tries to smile back. "Oh so soon, are you following me?" Ianto inwardly laughs 'If I was I would've found this place sooner.' Ianto chances a braver answer than no "That would be impossible. How many tickets do you pick up each week?" Jack simply stared at him grinning. Ianto acknowledges the woman behind the counter with a broad smile and tells her his name. Unsure of what to say to the man to his right he turns to look at him and smiles before looking back over the counter.

"Harkness, Jones" said the woman, Jack turned to her reaching for his wallet. After paying Jack picked up his food and headed to the door where he paused waiting for Ianto. As Ianto turned and headed to the door Jack pulled it open and gestured for Ianto to go first. Ianto blushed, how gorgeous he looked to Jack as it crept across his cheeks Ianto would never know. Ianto walked past Jack and out of the door saying his thanks under his breath almost, 'Blown it again Harkness. Don't leave it like that say something!' Ianto was walking down the street towards his car. "See you." Jack shouted after Ianto who turned quickly and nodded. Jack watched him walk down the street a fair way before crossing the road to his own car.
-TW-TW-TW-
"Harkness, Jones" said the woman, Ianto reached for his wallet. Ianto paid and turned to follow Jack out of the door belatedly realising Jack was waiting for him, he felt his stomach flip. Jack pulled the door open and gestured for Ianto to go first, he felt the blush spreading across his cheeks and walked to the door. Ianto mumbled a thanks to Jack and continued down the street. 'What was that ?' He asked himself as he carried on walking he didn't want to stop and do the whole awkward bye thing and was feeling a little embarrassed by him holding the door open. He heard Jack say "See you." but all he could do was turn and nod, not trusting his voice. He could feel Jack watching him go and wished he'd parked closer by so he could get away from those eyes watching him walk away.
