“Sir?” Ianto walked into his office, bearing a mug of coffee, his eyes widened slightly, but his face remained passive.
“Yes, Ianto.”
“Coffee.” He placed the mug down on the desk, and turned around to leave.
“Thank you.” Ianto paused at the doorway, slowly turning around to meet Jack's gaze.
“Sir?”
“Ianto?” He sighed, looking up. Ianto raised an eyebrow.
“Dare I ask what happened?”
“It rains in Cardiff. There is no sun and I need to look good.”
“I see, sir.”
“And the packet said to leave it on for a while.”
“Yes, sir,”
“But I think I left it on too long….only like…” He glanced at his watch. “Five hours…I wanted a healthy glow.”
“Sir,” He was interrupted as the cog doors rolled open to reveal the rest of the team.
“Ianto, they can’t see me like this!” Jack whispered, trying to slip down into his quarters unnoticed. He struggled against the catch, muttering to himself. “Damnit, what a time to need oiling,” Ianto could only smirk, as he watched Jack fight a losing battle.
“Sir, I’m sure they won’t notice.” Ianto assured with a dead-panned face.

Gwen stood still, her mouth open and her hand twitching down by her side. Tosh had a hand against her mouth fighting to control her laughter. Ianto smirked as Jack began to fidget under the gaze of his team. And Owen, well Owen had never been one for tact.
“You look like a bloody carrot!”
