Knowledge And Wisdom
-------------------------
Gwen Cooper watched suspiciously as both Jack and Ianto emerged from the corridor that led to the boardroom. ‘Together?’ she thought. ‘That’s not obvious at all’ she could hear the sarcasm in her thoughts, and rolled her eyes.
Gwen continued to watch as Jack strode past her into his office. He looked decidedly pleased with himself and was sporting his trademark ‘Harkness grin.’ The fact that Jack Harkness had just had sex couldn’t have been anymore obvious… not that he was trying to hide it anyway…
Ianto, on the other hand, had made a beeline for the coffee machine. She studied the younger man’s features and decided that he was wearing a disappointing ‘I did not just have sex’ face, not to mention the fact that his hair was sticking out at odd angles and that his shirt collar was totally failing to conceal a purple bruise forming at the base of his throat. Gwen sighed; it was so obvious that he should’ve been wearing a sign around his neck saying ‘I just got fucked’… poor naive Ianto…
Ianto crouched down to open the mini fridge and after a moment’s pause, he chose yoghurt and grabbed a clean spoon to go with it. Gwen smiled; Ianto was the only one who truly insisted on eating healthily at work. She’d catch him settling down with an apple or banana during his breaks and once, back when Tosh and Owen were alive, he’d even tried to serve the team a fruit salad… he quickly learned from his mistake…
“I’m not eating that shit!” Owen had exclaimed, louder than necessary as he prodded at a piece of watermelon. “Ive seen alien autopsies looking prettier than that!”
Ianto hadn’t been offended. He just sat down with his own bowl and started to eat, after all, he expected that kind of response from Owen. Gwen and Tosh had been all too happy to tuck into something healthy for a change and were greatly appreciative.
Jack was a different story altogether. The captain had looked down into his bowl for a while and only eaten the pieces of fruit that he liked the look of and then he’d turned to Ianto and delivered his famous fruit salad speech, the one that the team had heard too many times. “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing to leave it out of a fruit salad.”
Ianto had quirked his brow, but said nothing in response. It was only then that Jack swiftly continued.
Jack pointed into his bowl, “Well, there’s no tomatoes here, which suggests to me that you’re a wise and knowledgeable young man, Mr Jones.”
Ianto continued to stare blankly at Jack. “Thanks?” he said, obviously unsure if that was the correct thing to say or not.
Jack leaned closer towards the Welshman. “The thing is, I also contain a certain degree of knowledge and wisdom.”
Ianto swallowed nervously, he knew that the rest of the team were watching them both with interest.
“Oh?” he whimpered uncomfortably.
Jack then whispered at his ear. “I have the knowledge that you want me, Ianto Jones, and that these strawberries would serve better with chocolate sauce trailing across your chest, but I also have the wisdom to send the others home early first…”. He finished his sentence with a saucy grin, and Ianto still said nothing.
It was Owen that chipped in first, a look of utter disgust on his face. “We have the knowledge that you are going to fuck each other senseless as well as the wisdom to leave”.
He stood up and made for the boardroom door with an embarrassed Gwen and Tosh just behind him.
Gwen tried her best not to laugh at the memory; it would only embarrass Ianto if she dragged it up again. She imagined that Ianto got it pretty good that day, but then she imagined that he got it good every time he had sex with Jack. Gwen thought about it and realised that she felt a pang of jealousy at what they shared…
She loved Rhys, she married Rhys but there was always something about Jack bloody Harkness that made her want him… he was always lingering at the back of her mind and then she’d look at Ianto and see how happy Jack made him. She wanted to know what it felt like to be pressed into the mattress while Jack drove relentlessly into you, while he screamed your name as he came and Ianto got to experience all of that…
Gwen could feel the question bubbling deep inside her: ‘What’s it like having sex with Jack?’ She had to ask it before it exploded out of her mouth, so she turned to Ianto to ask it.
It was then that Gwen decided it was the wrong thing to say, but before she could reason with her self and before she could stop herself…
“What’s it like?”
Gwen had asked the question.
Instantly she clasped her hand over her mouth, but it was too late -Ianto was looking at her strangely. God, he was going to hate her now, wasn’t he?
But then he smiled and held up his yoghurt pot for her to see: “Its very nice, thank you, black cherry.”
“Oh…ok” Gwen muttered, relived at Ianto’s misunderstanding. She turned away from him and felt physically sick and unable to look at him.
Gwen Cooper had the knowledge that Jack and Ianto were having fantastic sex and that they were happy together, but she also had the wisdom to leave them be…
