Ianto stretched out on the towel, adjusting his sunglasses. It was one of the rare sunny days in Cardiff and he was on the apartment complex roof, soaking it up. The straw in his iced coffee stirred as a light breeze passed through.

He sighed, a small smile creeping over his face for the first time in ages. Memories of summer break in school flowed like a lazy river through his mind. Long car rides, amusement parks, late night soccer games with his friends. He missed those days.

Below the world was quiet. It seemed as if the entire city had taken the day off, just to they too could bask like this. "This is so lovely," Ianto muttered contentedly.

BEEPBEEPBEEP. "I don't care what it is, I refuse to come into work today," he spoke calmly into the phone and brought his drink to his lips as he waited for a reply. He heard Jack sputter and chuckled lightly to himself.

"But Yan, it's reeeeeaaaaallllly important. I swear!"

"Swear on the TARDIS?"

There was a brief silence as the captain contemplated how serious this actually was. He took a deep breath, "Yes. I swear on the TARDIS that this is rreeeeeeaaaaallllly important."

Ianto made a disgruntled noise and began gathering his things. Towel, drink, shirt, flip flops. He pinched his mobile between his ear and shoulder as he walked across the roof to the door, "Alright, sir. What is it?"

Just as he was about to open the door, it swung open. There Jack stood holding a case of beer, Owen, Gwen, Rhys, and Tosh behind him. "I brought beer," he said smiling.

a/n; something I wrote to celebrate the summer :) I hope it has been lovely for you all
