Chapter 5
Ianto yawned for the tenth time in an hour, after a night without nightmares he couldn’t understand where it came from and he didn’t think that another cup of coffee would be good for his stomach.
He yawned once again and turned his head to look at the last drops of coffee that were resting peaceful in the jar glass. After 5 minutes of wishful glancing, he decided against his better judgment and he walked to the coffee machine to start another round for everybody, before he could hear Owen complaints when he arrived with what he could only assume was going to be a massive headache, after a usual drunken night.
He put enough water for four, instantly remembering Gwen's absence, Jack had given her a few days to ‘cool off’ and ‘have a normal life with Rhys’ after the confrontation. Ianto sighed at the feeling that came to him every time that he thought about it, and he was getting so tired of it, and he knew he was getting near to a decision about Jack.
While he waited for the coffee to be ready, he grabbed a notebook and a pencil; very slowly he walked backwards and sat on the chair that he knew was going to be there.
He started to scribble, putting everything that they didn’t have and things they needed to have, from fruits to toilet paper, although his role had change in the last few months that didn’t mean he could stop doing this, he still had the horrible mental image of the Torchwood team half starved and floating on a garbage mountain made principal of pizza boxes.
He continued to write until he hit the two pages mark, he cursed under his breath at the list that was before his eyes and very quickly he organized the order of the places he had to go for completing the list.
He looked up at the coffee machine while he calculated the time he had before he could leave the hub and started to collect the items that they needed.
He heard the alarms blared and looked at Owen as he came through the door and the broken look on Tosh’s face when he ignored her once again. Sometimes he couldn’t help but notice the similarities that existed between Tosh and him. And he wondered if there was a world where they ended up together and Jack and Owen were helplessly in love with them.
He huffed at the possibility not of Tosh and him together but at Jack in love with him, with the way things were there wasn’t going to be a Jack and him very soon.
He got up from the chair and walked towards Tosh’s station while he grabbed the things he needed along the way, wallet, car keys and last the coat that was resting on the sofa.
He stood next to Tosh while she ignored him to busy looking at the medical bay where Owen was, he cleared his throat and she jumped in surprise while she turned her head around to look at him.
‘I’m going to run a few errands, do you need anything?’ he asked her while he put on his coat and checked his pockets to confirm that the wallet and the car’s keys were still there.
‘No, thank you, Ianto’ She said and she turned back to her work, putting her fingers on the keyboard.
‘All right, if you want I made fresh coffee, I’ll be back in two hours’ He walked to the door not waiting for an answer, knowing she was already lost in her job.
He stopped for a second and looked up at Jack’s office, thinking of letting him know where he was going, but he dismissed the idea before he had time to process it, Tosh could tell him if he asked.
He walked through the cog door before he could change his mind.
ººº
He stood in line waiting to be attend, four people were in front of him but he wasn’t in a hurry; lately he took every opportunity to get out of the hub, Jack silence was getting not only annoying but painful too and it was precipitating a decision he wasn’t ready to make just yet.
He looked down at the list that was in his hand and repeated in his mind everything he had to do next, it wasn’t really necessary to do this because he remember everything he needed to do but it was force of habit more than anything else.
While he read the third phrase of the first page, someone bumped into him, dropping to the floor the notebook that was resting in his hand a moment ago.
He decided to ignore what had happened and he extended his hand to collect the fallen item but before he could grab it another hand appeared in the way.
He looked up at the man who had helped him and lost himself in green eyes.
‘I’m so sorry, did I hurt you?’ the man asked him while he put the notebook in his hand once again.
‘No, don’t worry, thank you’ Ianto answered as he looked down at his notebook, he realized that the man was still holding his hand so he looked up at him.
But the man didn’t seem to want to let his hand go, he was just smiling at him but what surprised him was the feeling behind the man’s eyes, there was so much happiness in there, like he had found a lost friend.
Very slowly he removed his hand from the other man.
‘Sorry’ he said but he didn’t seem sorry at all and he still had that smile on his face so Ianto wondered if he had confused him with someone else.
‘Hi, my name is Cai, it’s a pleasure to meet you’ the man presented himself, extending his hand for him to take. Ianto glanced at the hand that was being offer to him and trying not to be disrespectful he decided to take it.
‘Hi, my name is Ianto, it’s a pleasure to meet you too’ he repeated while the man’s smile got bigger at his presentation.
