Ianto sat in the Tourist Office, going through e-mail after boring e-mail from Unit.

A week ago he'd agreed to take Jack to meet Rhiannon, and the stress of all that, above getting his - and whoever else couldn't be bothered to do theirs – work and planning the wedding (Jack had no understanding of colour mixing schemes), the stress was driving him insane. He also had to work out how to tell his big sister that he was in love with a man.

He clicked tiredly on the next e-mail and stopped, sitting up in his seat.

It was from Rhiannon.

'Hey Ianto!

Listen, I know we've been out o f touch but I heard you

were having dinner…with a fancy man.

Gorgeous apparently! Now little brother, have you gone Bender?

It's no trouble if you have but I'd like to know. Call me as soon as

possible.

Rhiannon. X'

Ianto almost fainted, staring at the screen for what felt like eternity, letting himself slide down in the chair slowly.

He could have stayed there forever until he felt a hand drop heavily onto his shoulder.

Ianto jumped and clicked of the page before anyone could see it.

" You okay?" Jack asked slowly. Of course it was Jack.

Ianto forced a half-convincing smile, telling himself to relax and believe the words he was speaking.

" I'm fine." He kept his mind blank. Focusing on Jack, not too difficult really, seeing as that was pretty much the only thing he could see.

He focused on his eyes, his smile, his lips.

And the way his hand felt unnaturally heavy due to the small band that meant to world to him, that Jack was claiming him for his own, and he would finally have Jack to himself at last!

Jack raised an eyebrow and Ianto suddenly realised he had been talking, but Ianto had been too engrossed I looking at Jacks lips moving to notice.

" Ianto?" Jack asked in a tone that suggested he had done so many timed by now.

" Shut up." Ianto muttered.

" What?" Jack looked obviously hurt.

" I said…shut up." Ianto pulled Jack forward without warning and kissed him.

Jack leant into it, even if he was shocked, and slipped his hands round Iantos' waist, and into his hair, just as Ianto ran out of breath – having started with too much force and not enough air – and had to pull back.

" What was that for?" Jack asked, grinning like a Cheshire cat, and not releasing is hold on the younger man, forcing their lips to be only centimetres apart, breathing each others carbon dioxide.

" For being mine, sir." Ianto put just the right amount of emphasis into the last word to make it like everything was fine, and he wasn't at the end of his nervous tethers.

Hell, he'd almost had a heart attack in the archives yesterday when he thought that he had put all the 't' filed incorrectly in front of 'u' and was halfway through re-sorting and replacing them when he realised that it was right the first time, and spent the next whole day fixing that. Ianto never forgot the alphabet! That just wasn't right.

Jack frowned, something was wrong, but until he wanted to, Ianto wouldn't say anything about it.

" Okay. Thanks." Jack smiled. " Well, I'd better get going, I was just coming to check on you, see if you were okay. Besides, don't want the kids having too much fun without me!"

" They wouldn't dream of fun without you in it Jack." Ianto smiled at Jack stood up, kissing Iantos' messed up hair fondly before pressing the button under the desk and opening up the door into the secret underground super-base.

As soon as he was alone, Ianto broke into a heap on the desk, muttering 'shit' over and over again. The stress was becoming too much.
