As the rain fell even harder, Ianto Jones pull up the collar of his overcoat, trying to keep warm. He shivered, as a drop of rain ran down the back of his neck. He rounded the corner, blowing on his hands to warm them.

'Wish I'd worn my gloves' he thought.

It was getting darker, clouds rolling in from the Bristol Channel. Ianto sighed, looking around him. Usually, he enjoyed Weevil hunts with Jack. It usually meant 'sex in the back of the SUV'. But today, in this bloody rotten weather, it WAS a real Weevil hunt. Jack was off after one alien, while he chased another.

'Fuck!' he thought. 'Where did it go!'

A noise from behind him, brought his head round. It was Jack, covered in blood, breathing heavily.

"Jack!"

"It's...not my blood."

Ianto sighed with relief. "The Weevil?"

Jack nodded. "Came straight for me, then..." He shrugged.

"You shot it?"

"No, it exploded."

"Exploded? Like...boom!"

"Yep."

Ianto smiled, despite the weather. "Weevils don't explode , Jack."

Another shrug. "Well, this one did." He rubbed at his coat. "All over me, if you please!" He eyed the younger man. "What happened to yours?"

It was Ianto's turn to shrug. "Lost it." He looked down around him.

There was a loud 'splat' sound from behind them and Jack pulled Ianto against him. Pieces of Weevil rained down on them.

"See," said Jack, matter-of-factly, holding the Welshman at arms length. "Boom!"

Ianto's mouth dropped open. "Shit!"

Jack laughed. "Yeah."

The rain came down even harder and off in the distance, thunder rumbled.

"We better get back to the Hub. There's a storm brewing," said Jack.

Ianto nodded in agreement.

"I think the rain will wash all this way."

"Let's hope so."

They walked briskly back to the SUV, parked at the other end of Grange Gardens.

Jack threw the keys to his lover. "You drive."

Ianto got into the driver's seat and buckled up. He waited until Jack had done the same, before starting the engine and driving off.

Gwen looked out of the kitchen window and tutted.

"Look at the state of that sky! Jack and Ianto are out in this!"

Rhys sniggers. "Extra careiculer activities, then?"

"Rhys Williams!"

"What? We all know what's goin' on there, love."

Gwen smiled. "I've never seen Ianto look so happy."

"Yeah, well. Just as long as Jack bloody 'I'm all that' Harkness isn't takin' advantage of him."

Gwen frowned. "From what I hear, Ianto made the first move."

Rhys raised an eyebrow. "Right."

Gwen nodded for effect. "Yep. Snogged Jack senseless."

Rhys smiled wryly. "This from a guy that has never been with another man before!"

Gwen shrugged. "Mmm."

"What is the world coming to?"

They both laughed.

TWTWTW

As Ianto rounded the corner, the first clap of thunder sounded, followed by lightning.

"We're in for a bad one," said Jack, not looking at Ianto.

Ianto tightened his grip on the steering wheel and kept his eyes on the road ahead. "I hate thunder and lightening!"

Jack smiled. "I don't."

"Figures."

Jack sighed. "On the Boeshan Peninsular, it was like this at least once a week. I loved to watch it."

Ianto turned his head. He liked hearing about Jack's past...future to him...and he didn't see the dog crossing the road.

"Look out!" Shouted Jack.

But it was too late. The SUV careered off the road, through the fence of the Clarence Embankment, into the icy waters of the river Taff.
