The young Welshman practically bounced into the room, stopping dead at the sight of his girlfriend who was crumpled on the floor of the basement; he rushed over concern creasing his face.
"Lisa!" pulling her up and back into her bed he stood back "What happened"
"I just fell" she replied staring right ahead her eyes not meeting his.
The young man didn't reply, just nodded, not taking his eyes of the computer. Shaking his head he walked over to it and clicked the screen on.
"Strange" he whispered furrowing his brow and shooting the now sleeping girl a worried glance "I didn't leave this on".
"Ianto?" it seemed the girl wasn't as asleep as he though "Why where you so happy?"
The young man brightened "I've got his attention" he said reverently pointing a finger to the roof above him. He smiled a sheepish grin to match the cold metallic one of his girlfriend, the smile that made her eyes shine in that eager way.

The next time Ianto returned to see his girlfriend with news of the captain he was in a less joyful mood. Walking slowly into the room, he didn't look up but dropped his bag by the computer chair and sat down heavily.
"Ianto?" the young man looked up his face a mask of emotion.
"I didn't know you where awake" he said quietly.
"How did it go?"
"I got the job, I'm in" Ianto turned away and bean to tap loudly on the keyboard and hummed sadly to himself as though to drown out thoughts that bothered him.
Thoughts of the captain and of the weight of his body pressing down on him.

Jack sat in the front seat of the SUV and smiled to himself, "Love the coat" the words revolved around his head in that welsh lilt that caused his stomach to dance.
Turning to the softly sleeping dinosaur in his back seat he laughed, "I can see that Mr Jones, Ianto Jones will be some fun"
