Ianto's ears pricked up when he finally heard his apartment door open. He heard someone slam the door shut and stumble down the hallway. His bedroom door flew open and the creature stood, staring at him.
It looked a mess, suit crumpled and stained, tie undone and dangling around his neck. He was clutching a water bottle in his hand. The creature threw its self at the bed, landing on Ianto's legs. Giggling he rolled over and sat up.
Ianto was hit by the stench of alcohol. The creature lent over and dragged the gag down, out of Ianto's mouth. He rammed the water bottle into Ianto's mouth. Ianto coughed and spluttered causing most of the water to go down his chest. However Enough of it made it into his mouth to quench his thirst, and get rid of the horrible taste in his mouth. Once the bottle was empty the creature shoved the gag back into his mouth.
The creature sat back and gave Ianto a lop sided grin.
"Better?" He asked. He paused for a minute before nodding as though Ianto had replied.
"I'll bring you more tomorrow morning, and maybe something to eat. But only if I'm feeling nice." He giggled. "You'd better hope I'm feeling nice, just cause I can't kill you yet doesn't mean I can't starve you."
He paused and studied Ianto. "Your body's alright you know." He said, poking Ianto in the chest. "That girl at the pub seemed to like it." He grinned. "I liked her, she knew how to kiss. Do you have a girl friend? Well I guess if you did she would be mine now."
"You know what I need to do? I need to research your life some more. Before work tomorrow, I'll find out all there is to know about Ianto Jones!"
He frowned.
"Oh god, listen to me, don't I talk after a few beers, I'm probably boring you."
Clumsily the creature stood up.
"I'm taking your couch again!" He shouted stumbling out of the room.
The creature returned briefly the next morning to give Ianto another drink, and find a new suit, before leaving for the day.
The creature strode towards work on a new high, this morning, after getting rid of a splitting headache he had taken another look around the apartment, and to his joy he had found Ianto's diary. With a skip in his step he walked into the Hub and was greeted by Jack and Gwen's tired faces.
"Coffee?" He asked cheerfully.
Both nodded, giving a relieved smile.
The creature hummed to himself as he made the coffee, jumping slightly when he heard the other two arrive.
Once the coffee round was done he snuck away to the tourist office, feeling very pleased with himself.
Gwen had nothing to do. She wasn't aloud to leave the Hub, and Jack wouldn't let her help with the investigation into the shooting and car crash. All her paperwork was done, there where no new police reports to look at. She was bored.
Gwen spun her chair around staring at the ceiling. All she wanted was something to do.
Spin,
She was going crazy.
Spin, spin.
Boooooored
Spin, spin spin spin.
"Tosh, Owen with me!" Jacks voice surprised her.
"Going out?" She asked, grabbing her desk to stop her chair.
Jack nodded, "Large rift spike needs investigating." He gave her a small smile and took off out the door.
Gwen went back to spinning.
Once round, twice round...
She made it round 120 times before she was so bored she couldn't stand it, and got up to look for something to do.
Gwen wandered aimlessly for a while. After a little bit she heard Ianto come down to make some more coffee and wandered over to have a chat. She paused when she got closer to him, she could her whistling. She could have sworn Ianto never whistled. She peered over at him.
"Hey Ianto!"
"...hi Gwen"
"So how are things? Anything existing going on in your life?"
"Not at the moment."
"Oh."
"Can I get you anything Gwen?"
"Oh I just came for a chat."
He handed her a cup of coffee.
Gwen smiled at him and took the mug.
Ianto smiled back and turned slightly to pick up another cup. Gwen went to move passed him, there wasn't much room. One of her jacket buttons caught in his pocket, causing Gwen to trip up, she grabbed onto Ianto' to stabilise herself and wound up dragging him down too.
The two crashed down on top of each other, Gwen heard a clang as something metal hit the floor. Ianto quickly got up, and helped Gwen up
onto her feet.
"Thanks." Gwen dusted herself off when something on the ground caught her eye. She bent down and grabbed it.
"Oh hey, I think you dropped... This"
Gwen stared at the thing in her hands, she recognised it. It was the device that had been stolen from her apartment.
"Ianto how did you get this?"
"Get what?" Ianto had a strange expression on his face.
"This." Gwen held it up for him to see.
"Where did you get this?"
Ianto stared at her for a moment before replying in a very quite voice.
"I've never seen that before."
"What do you mean?! It fell out of your pocket! How the hell did it get into your pocket!?"
Ianto took a step back. "I think you need to calm down."
"You... You broke into my flat!"
"Gwe-"
"You bastard! You broke into my flat and robbed me!"
Gwen felt anger bubble up inside her. Her arm shot out, sending an object flying into Ianto's head. It took her a second to work out what she had thrown, the empty coffee cup. It smashed into the side of his head.
Blood squirted everywhere, Gwen watched him stare at it with a dazzled expression before she launched herself at him.
Gwen's body slammed into him, causing both of them to fall against the wall. His head snapped back, smashing against the wall. He let out a soft moan before sinking down unconscious.
