A/N: Okay guys. I know, where the hell have I been? The Torchwood muse left me and replaced itself with Sherlock. But I've balanced them now. I know how all this story will end, the sequel is possible. Um, there might be a few swear words and endless innuendo's in here. Um…and I wouldn't advise letting little kids near the screen for this one, okay?

Well, here is the epicly named and epicly long (and bipolar) 'Chapter 31: You Ready For This?'

Also, I didn't notice I'd written a Chapter 30, so this was supposed to be my bad-ass Chapter 30… oh well!

XxXxXxX

Ianto and I settled on the couch, fresh cups of Coffee in our hands that Ianto had magic-ed out of nowhere.

"What emotion did you get?" Ianto asked quietly, as if he wasn't sure if they were still here and wanted to stay low.

"Love." I murmured. Ianto had the right to know. I knew everything about his life really; it was only fair he knew mine, even if it was so much longer.

"You can talk to me about it whenever you like." Ianto smiled.

"Thanks Ianto."

We sat in Companionable silence for a few minutes, finishing our divine coffees.

"You should get some rest." Ianto murmured after around 20 minutes. "That seemed to be a pretty rough attack."

"Yea…" I replied, placing my cup down on the side and smiling as Ianto slipped a coaster under it, and then did the same with his.

A thought hit me. "I'll rest, but I'm not staying here alone." I smiled.

Iantos' smirk flickered into existence. "Okay, sir." He relaxed back into the couch.

I grinned. Being with Ianto always made me feel better, and I could tell it helped him, as well.

We sat back and Ianto hesitantly let his arms slide round me. I sighed quietly. "Don't worry Ianto. I'm not going to bite you." I joked, pulling him closer so his head was laying against my Chest.

I wove my arms round him, to finish the loop and keep us both warm.

Within minutes, we were both asleep.

I woke with a start, and took a few seconds to level my breathing and become familiar with my surroundings again.

Ianto was curled round me, and from our position I could see his face as he slept.

I'll never forget that image.

His eyes weren't shut firmly, simply resting closed. Lips slightly parted, face so smooth and relaxed. You'd never know everything he'd been through. He just looked like an ordinary young man.

My staring antics were stopped suddenly as his eyes fluttered open, revealing the startling blue beneath them. His wide eyes stared back at me, and we were just lost for a few moments.

"I-erm-we should…call a board meeting." I muttered.

"I'll make the coffee." Ianto sprung up, sub-consciously straightening his suit as he did so.

Ianto almost ran out of the room, and I was left dazed and confused.

What had just happened? There was a spark inside me that I didn't know could ever been re-awakened.

It was almost as if...

"Right guys." I stood at the head of the boardroom table, hands firmly on the polished wood. "Johns' been able to get to every one of us now, so I think we can say it's all over, whatever it was in the first place."

"What about me?" Gwen piped in stubbornly.

"Well, it targeted loved ones that were dead, so you don't really count." I smiled Apologetically at how Harsh that had had sounded.

"So we can forget about him?" Owen asked cautiously. I mean…what if this isn't the end of it?"

"We know it can only target individually." Tosh smiled. "So we can't all be caught at once." Owen nodded, feeling a lot more at ease.

"So what did he even want?" Iantos' soft Welsh vowels seemed to float in the air as we all tried to think up a good reason.

"I have no idea." I admitted. "And hopefully we'll never have to find out."

Just as I finished speaking, the alarm went of, showing a rift spike. My Vortex Manipulator went of, telling me what was happening.

"Two weevils in Kathays Park." I reported.

"I'll go with you." Ianto looked up.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

I smiled. "Sure. Tosh, Owen, Gwen, hold up the fort." I rushed of to get the gear we needed and grinned when I reached for my coat to find Ianto holding it out to me so I could walk into it, followed by him brushing down the shoulders to make it fit properly.

"Thanks Ianto." I flashed a grin at him, followed by a wink. The blush I got in return was truly brilliant.

XxXxXxX

Minutes later we were in the SUV on the way to Kathays Park.

And now I could ask the thing that had been bugging me and needed to be answered.

"You never volunteer for this job." I added emphasis to 'never' and shot him a sideways glance as we hit the traffic lights.

"Well sir, nothing like a bit of late night Weevil Hunting to get the heart rate up." He side smiled at me, and I couldn't help but think how hot he looked. "Besides, it's where we first met…and I really do love that coat."

XxXxXxX

We walked quietly through Kathays park, our only companions being the sound of each other's breathing in our ear pieces.

I could see Ianto through the trees about 100 feet away, his suit clad figure confidently holding the gun up and he walked stealthily through the shadows, eyes scanning for danger. I wondered if he knew how god damn hot he looked.

Just as I was shamelessly staring, one of our targets chose to jump Ianto from the side, throwing him to the floor. I broke into a run, and watched Ianto roll, putting the Weevil beneath him as he stunned it.

I skidded to a halt beside him, still in shock at what could have happened.

"Got it all under control sir." Ianto looked up from his action of cuffing the weevil, and I was struck by the dirt covering him. It had rained recently, so the dirt wasn't completely dry. Crap. I liked that suit! The other thing that hit me was how fucking bad ass he looked. Obviously there was a side to Ianto I didn't know existed but needed to explore further. It seemed to be rather dominant in my mind.

I came from my lustful thoughts to see the other Weevil running at us. Not the most silent of creatures, it had to be said. I waited till it was right in front of me before just stunning it as it ran into the gun. I was out before it stopped moving, and then it's dead weight decided to land right on top of me, lunging me backwards and knocking all the air out of me.

Ianto pulled the Weevil off of me and cuffed it before standing over me, like a dirty – in every sense possible – angel.

"Need a hand?"

I read both sides of the question.

"You bet I do."

XxXxXxX

Sadly, my fantasies did not come true, and we drove back to the Hub.

Dragging one Weevil through the door, I noticed the team had decided to clear of and go home.

"I don't remember giving that order." I murmured between breaths, this thing was bloody heavy.

"We're on call tonight, sir." Ianto explained.

Oh, yay! Ianto-time.

A few minutes later we had locked the things in the cells, watching them to make sure they came round well enough.

I turned to Ianto, marvelling at how he looked great even when covered in a light sheen of sweat. I was overcome with the urge to be the creator of said sweat. This was getting ridiculous.

"We should really shower if we're going to be here all night." I muttered.

Ianto nodded, then his eyes widened slightly.

"Um…only one of the showers is working. I think Myfanwy flew into the pipes or some, because the rest don't run water. You can go first."

I quirked an eyebrow, and my mind quietly warned that this might scare him of, but my libido was much louder right now.

"Why can't we just share?"

Ianto's face didn't move to horror, more thoughtfulness.

"Okay."

I thought it was Christmas.

"Seriously? I mean, you don't have to…"

Ianto laughed. "Jack. Don't worry! It'll be fine."

I nodded. It sure would.

I lead the way, my mind still trying to register what was going to happen and what I should do.

XxXxXxX

I don't know how I managed it, but soon both of us were in the shower, I was glad of the size of these things now, and made sure I didn't look anywhere but at the wall opposite me.

I heard Ianto chuckle and looked over at his face. He was smirking. But my god, the water droplets had made him look …

"Anyone would think you were socially awkward." He smiled.

I shrugged, relaxing slightly. If he was making jokes, so could I. "I like to think 'socially important', but hey."

I could see at the bottom of my vision that his chest was well muscled. Not stupidly well worked, but after working here for a while, and running up and down stairs at the Torchwood Institute, and looking after Lisa, he was bound to get some toning done.

My thoughts about anything at all were halted when Ianto moved forward suddenly, his lips claiming mine, hands moving to my shoulders instantly.

Of course, this was unexpected, but I still gave it my best, now I didn't need to hold back, he had initiated this, had consented to the shower, it was all fine.

Ianto's hand moved slowly down my chest, and I had to act fast. My own hand snapped down to clasp his, and I pulled back to look at him.

"Ianto…" I started, unsure how to continue.

"Don't worry Jack. I want this. I want you."

He looked so naïve, so innocent, but so willing. Testing myself and my restraint, I slowly turned Ianto to be looking the same direction as me, pressing myself against his back, the water falling from my hair into my eyes, and probably doing the same to him. My hands moved round his shoulders to meet at his chest.

"Are you really sure you're ready for this?" I asked quietly, kissing his neck below his ear.

Ianto nodded, relaxing back into me. "Yes." He breathed.

XxXxXxX

A/N: Well, was it a good comeback Chapter? I know, I've been….Christ…ages! I'll leave what happened next to your imaginations, be careful with the boys though, Ianto's still new to this.

Reviews? It'll make me happy… *puppy eyes*
