A/N: I've had this idea for a while, but I never got round to typing it up. This is Ianto's life if he'd never been recruited for Torchwood Three. Lisa/Ianto. This is what I imagine would happen if he never went into work the day of the Canary Wharf battle.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood. Not yet, anyway. XD

Ianto's alarm clock rung though the bedroom he shared with Lisa. He leaned over and turned it off. It displayed 5: 00. He had to be in work at 6:00. Great he had to get up. His head was banging and he felt sick. He hated hangovers! Lisa groaned next to him.

"Urg….I hate hangovers..." She mumbled.

"Yeah, so do I." He laughed, but that hurt his head so he stopped.

"We have really loud construction work going on down the hall and it'll make my head SO much worse. I wouldn't be able to cope…" Lisa sat up and looked over at Ianto who was grinning.

"Are you suggesting we… don't go in?" He asked.

"Well, if you don't want to," She smiled.

"No, I didn't say that…" He grinned.

"Then what?" Lisa asked.

"Nothing, I just didn't think you would." He explained.

"I didn't think YOU would!" She laughed.

"Ok, then we'll do it!"

"Good." She said, getting up.

Ianto grabbed her by the waist. "Were are you going? We don't have to get up."

"I know. I'm going to the bathroom." She giggled.

"Oh, well go ahead." He laughed letting go of her.

Ianto stumbled into the kitchen, his head banging. He opened one of the kitchen cupboards and pulled out a bowl and a box of weetabix. He placed two Weetabixin the bowl and poured a vast amount of semi-skimmed milk over them. He then raised the carton of milk to his lips and drank from it, in an attempt to quench his thirst. As he did so Lisa came out of the bathroom a towel wrapped around her body and one wrapped around her hair.

"Oh, Ianto!" She rolled her eyes when she caught sight of Ianto drinking the milk. "You know I hate it when you drink straight out of the carton."

"Sorry." He gasped as he pulled his lips away from the milk. She unraveled the towel on her head and ran her fingers through her hair. Lisa hurried to the bedroom to get dressed.

Ianto sat down on the sofa, bowl in his hand and switched the TV on. He eat his cereal while watching the news. Lisa came in from the bedroom, fully dressed. While Ianto however was in his boxers and his dressing gown.

"Oh my god, you're SO lazy. Its half eleven. How can you not be dressed yet?" She laughed as she sat down next to him.

He shrugged. "Coffee?" He got up and put his empty bowl in the sink and began to fill up the kettle. "Urg…Lisa, you STILL haven't de-scaled that kettle." She laughed in response.

"Coffee sounds good." She walked into the kitchen, slapped his arse and then put two slices of toast into the toaster. She opened one of the cupboards, and then closed it not finding what she was looking for; she looked in another then closed it. "Do we have any jam?" She asked.

"No, we're going down to Asda later, we can get some then." He replied, putting a steaming cup of coffee next to her. "Although, I think we have some marmalade in that top cupboard." He indicated the cupboard by her head as he took a sip from his own mug of coffee. He put the coffee down on the side and plodded towards the bedroom. "I'll get dressed now." He called back.

"Ok, love." Lisa took the toast out of the toaster and spread butter on them and lathered them in marmalade. As she began to eat one of them, she heard the phone ring from the bedroom, and then heard Ianto pick it up. A few minutes later Ianto walked in, he was fully clothed from the waist down, but his shirt wasn't buttoned up and it displayed his chest.

"That was Matt." Ianto told her, he looked rather dumbfounded.

"And?" She hinted for him to continue.

"There's something big going on at work." He told her. "Metal men and robot thingies." He said. "They're killing the Torchwood staff."

"Oh my god!" She gasped. "Should we go down there?!"

"No. I'm not putting you in that sort of danger." Ianto shook his head. "No way."

Should I continue?
