Summary: Ianto sees Jack interrogate someone and can’t handle it.
“Jack is obviously some kind of incubus.” Owen muttered to Tosh as more yells streamed from Jack’s office. “He dies without the Teaboy’s sex.” Tosh and Owen ducked as an object came flying out of Jack’s open door. “How long until Teaboy gets back?”
“He’ll be back on Monday.” Tosh told him, grinning when Owen groaned.
“Did Jack and the Teaboy at least work out their problem before Teaboy left?” Owen asked, stealing a chocolate from Tosh’s drawer. “Because if they didn’t then him being back won’t change anything but the quality of the coffee.”
“What do you mean?” Tosh asked, trying to hide her surprise. She didn’t think Owen had noticed the tension between Jack and Ianto.
“Don’t play dumb Tosh. You’re too smart for that.” Owen went to steal another chocolate but Tosh batted his hand away.
“When Ianto left they hadn’t worked things out and I doubt Jack would be this bad if they had worked things out since.” Tosh said quietly. “I don’t know if they even can work things out.”
Owen wrapped his arms around Tosh and pulled her closer to him, brushing her hair back from her face and trying to sooth her.
“Of course they’ll work things out.” He murmured. “They’re Jack and Ianto. They belong together. Just look at all the CCTV footage you’ve complied. Whatever’s going on they’ll work through it and everything will be back to normal.”
“So Rhys decided that it would be a good idea to invite our parents over for dinner together next weekend. I don’t know how I’m going to survive an entire night of having to be civil to his mother while trying to keep his mother and my mother from killing each other.” Gwen said, dropping her bags by her desk. “Where’s Ianto? I could really use a coffee right now.”
“Ianto has the weekend off. He’s gone to visit his family.” Tosh said, pulling away from Owen.
“Oh.” Gwen said with a little frown. “I thought all of Ianto’s family was dead.” Gwen shrugged and smiled. “I’m going to go talk to Jack.”
“You might not want to do that.” Owen warned. “He’s not in the best mood right now and I think he’s been talking to UNIT all day.”
“Then I’ll go cheer him up.” Gwen said, ignoring Owen and going to Jack’s office. Gwen came out of Jack’s office shortly after she entered, pouting. “He’s on the phone talking to someone named Martha and said I had to leave.”
Gwen sat down at her desk to pout before she started playing Solitaire and looking for a new pair of boots on e-Bay. Tosh and Owen got back to their work and barely blinked when Jack stormed out of his office a few minutes later saying he was going out.
Owen worked for another hour before he got bored and grabbed his things.
“Would you like to go out for drink with me Tosh?” He asked.
“Sure.” Tosh replied instantly, scribbling a note to Jack before grabbing her things. “Coming Gwen?”
Owen raised an eyebrow at Tosh and Tosh shrugged back. Better to take Gwen with them than risk her being here alone when Jack returned. Gwen smiled and grabbed her things, following the other two out, oblivious to their exchange.
Soon after they left the Hub Tosh’s cell rang with a text from Jack telling her to take the next day off and to tell the others to take the day off as well. That he would call if he needed them.
Owen glanced down at the text and grinned. “Guess that means we can get wasted since we don’t have to worry about work.”
“But now that you’ve said that aliens are going to invade bright and early while we still have hangovers.” Tosh admonished with a grin.
“Whatever.” Owen said, slinging his arm over Tosh’s shoulder.
*****
Jack stood on the roof, coat blowing in the wind, and wished again that he could end it. He hated knowing that he was going to live forever. The Universe would end and he would still continue because he was wrong. A fixed point in time.
Jack sighed and kicked a pebble off the roof and watched as it fell to the ground and split in half.
He had tried to go weevil hunting but even that had reminded him of Ianto.
Everything reminded him of Ianto.
Jack sighed and checked his wrist strap for any unusual readings. Anything at all. Anything to distract him from his thoughts.
But there was nothing.
For once Cardiff was perfectly normal.
