Hiring Ianto had been the greatest thing that Captain Jack Harkness had ever done since arriving at Torchwood 3. He was nice and stocky, worked and followed orders well and looked amazing in a suit. Saying that he looked even better without his suit – that and every other piece of clothing.

Ianto entered Jack's office. He lay the tray of coffee and phone messages on the front of his desk and walked around to see if Jack really was asleep. Jack opened his eyes to see Ianto standing next to him, looking him straight in the eyes.

"You awake?" Ianto asked quietly.

"Never sleep "Jack answered simply. Ianto leaned over Jack to reach the tray of coffee. Jack reached out a hand and stroked Ianto's bum fondly.

"Nice pert arse, Ianto" Jack commented.

"Ahhh" said Ianto coyly, slowly standing up straight. "If only I could find a good use for it."

Jack stood up behind him. Ianto could feel his breath on the side of his neck as jack moved closer.

"Oh, I can think of quite a few." Jack whispered as one hand slowly creeped towards Ianto's fly. Just then, right on cue, Gwen barged into Jack's office, mentioning something about the meeting in the boardroom. She stopped when she noticed how close Jack was to Ianto and where one of his hands was wandering. Jack gave Ianto's neck a quick kiss before turning towards Gwen. He took hold of her by the shoulders and marched her through the Hub into the boardroom.

Gwen took her seat opposite Jack and half-listened to what Tosh was saying about bits of Torchwood 4 appearing around the country. However she tried to concentrate, she couldn't help noticing the glazed over, far-away look in Jack's eyes. In fact the only time the look left was when Ianto entered bringing tidings of coffee. Jack pulled himself straight in his chair and let a smirk unfurl on his face.

As Ianto handed Jack a coffee, Gwen noticed that Jack's gaze never left Ianto's eyes as he whispered his thanks and watched him supply everyone else with coffee.

After the meeting, Jack hurried out of the Boardroom to, "See a man about a dog." So it left just Gwen, Tosh and Owen in the room quietly sipping cold coffee. "Have either of you noticed anything about Jack and Ianto lately?" Gwen asked. Own laughed coffee up through his nose.

"What?! Are you completely thick?!" he asked, coffee dripping from his chin.

Gwen didn't really understand this remark. "Tell me Gwen have you ever seen Jack or Ianto go home?" Tosh asked. Gwen began to think about this but was rudely interrupted.

"'Course you haven't, They don't go home! They stay here and shag until they ache."

Gwen was shocked by Owen's revelation but was even more shocked by the fact that she had never noticed any of it herself. "Saying that", Tosh added. "It's got a lot more luvie-dovie lately."

Own grunted, "So long as I'm not asked to join them.. Again."
