"Wow" Owen said as he stared at Andy "So… you leave for a walk without the captain and actually got some walking done instead of nookie? Actually found a whole 'nother man?"
Andy grinned widely "Actually… I sort of found him!"
Ianto let Andy and everyone else talk animatedly now that they had got over their shock at his arrival, giving him time to get a brew on. The coffee from some of the luggage was almost gone but he knew there had bene a tin of the stuff in one of the crates of food they had found in the household container.
Jack slid over to where he settled on one of the sofas they had lugged up to base camp, sitting next to him patting his knee "You OK?"
"Well, I now know the layout" Ianto leaned back "And found some wild berries we can use for tea too."
"Yeah… the coffee and tea is gong to be gone soon" Jack sighed.
"Hey" Ianto turned to face him "Andy also found another container the Others don't know about."
"Ooooooh" Jack breathed, adding "I missed you."
Iant's smile softened "You did? Why Jack, we're not even going steady."
"Steady? Ianto… it may have only been … what… a week or so but… damn. I feel like you have always been with me" Jack assured him "and it is comforting."
Ianto found himself getting snogged silly in front of everyone, the whoops and cat calling making him blush as Jack told them all to stop with their jealous moaning.
"Well… another container?" Rhys finally said with his hands rubbing together "I wanna see what we have there."
They all talked about tomorrow's task.
To open that container.

"Ianto?"
"Hmmmm?"
"Are you OK?"
Ianto rolled to face Jack in the small bed, the arms circling him making him feel so comfortable and safe. He answered softly "grand."
"Well, we are not on duty tonight. Wanna go somewhere for a little moonlight cuddle?" Jack whispered.
"Well… I do have a surprise for you that Andy forgot to tell everyone about" Ianto grinned, remembering the water.
.
.
"OH MY GOD!"
Ianto watched as Jack hopped on one leg, trying to get his socks and shoes off, then his pants were coming down as he struggled to get naked and in the water, Ianto's grin turning to laughter as Jack landed in the water with his shirt still on.
"Ya bloody twat, give me that. I will hang it on this branch to dry" Ianto held his hand out and Jack threw the balled up we shirt at him, then disappeared under the water, reappearing with a whoop.
Soon Ianto was naked and in there as well, watching Jack reach for the little travel soaps he had not noticed Ianto carrying and Ianto lay back in the shallow part to watch Jack bathe. With fresh water falling from above, the water below draining away down the little steams that exited the cavern's waterhole, it was not contaminating drinking water or anything.
Ianto started to sing, his voice ethereal in the cavernous lake filled area, the soft sound of the waterfall the only accompaniment, until Jack joined in and they discovered that they both had rich deep baritones that matched.
Then Jack was there beside him, reaching for the semierect penis floating on the water, his hand caressing on it "IS this for me?"
"Hmmmm… I guess you'll do."
Laughter now as the tickling and nibbling began, the two men making love…. As is the best part of time alone on this small island.
"You know… this holiday has turned out better than expected" Ianto said later as they lay there slightly breathless and debouched, looking up through the hole in the ceiling at the stars "I think I shall withdraw the terse letter I had pre-written in my mind for the travel agent and instead recommend it with five stars for thoroughness whilst providing extreme excitement levels with amazing afterglows."
Jack laughed softly, his hand finding Ianto's in the water "And I will never complain about deadheading again."
"Speaking of head" Ianto rolled on top of him, then started to slide down "I am not finished with you."
Jack was still weakly laughing when the first nip made him squeal and then round two was on the cards.
Yeah.
Five stars.
.

"You two are wet!"
"No. Fuck…I know something felt different" Jak sighed swinging to face Ianto, grabbing his arms like they were in a perilous situation "Ianto… we are wet. Are you gonna be OK?"
"Oh I am super fine" Ianto drawled in a very passing American accent that had them both giggling.
"Oh, you sound like me" Jack sniggered.
"I have a little bit of American in me I think… or at least… I HAD a big bit" Ianto replied with equal mirth.
"Oh, you two been to the waterfall?" Andy asked as he accepted a bowl of rice and steamed fish from Rhys.
Everyone froze as Andy continued, oblivious to the shock in the air "And the swimming hole is great right? Hope ya didn't scare the poor animals… mind…I guess at night the chickens are roosting somewhere."
"Chickens."
"Yeah… chickens. Like… the roosters are a little crazy bit the eggs are nice" Andy nodded, scooping another mouthful in as everyone gaped, then Rhys sat heavily next to him.
"Look mate… I might want some eggs. Tomorrow we can go check their spots?" Rhys asked like it was no big deal.
"Sure, no worries. Can check the rabbit snares too… a few days ago I caught a couple. God, lovely meat over an open fire" Andy nodded "Bet they are sorry they ran me off now. They don't know my trap line and I bet none of them can catch ribbits."
"You know Andy … I think I like you!" Rhys said as he patted his knee.
Andy smiled, his hand siding to Rhys's knee as well and he whispered "Good. I like a big guy."
Rhys blinked, trying to work that one out as Andy patted his knee and went back to eating.
Jack and Ianto watched with slack jaws as it was obvious to everyone else that Rhys had inadvertently made a move and it had been not only accepted… but Andy had raised him a few bob.
"We have a deck of cards" Owen finally spoke like he had formed the same conclusion "Strip poker anyone?"
Oh god.
Apparently, they ALL knew how to play poker… some badly.
LOL
