Challenge: 337 - Unloved prompts, 217 - Rendition
Notes: none

It was late as Jack wandered the disused hallways of the archives.

He'd thought he was alone when soft music met his ears.  He headed toward it. The tune was familiar, Moonlight Sonata.

What was causing it?

Rounding a corner he found the answer.  

When had they found a piano?  

There was Ianto sat quietly playing, and Jack watched graceful fingers dance across the keys, unaware of his audience.  

He surely hadn't learnt that growing up on the estate.

Jack sank to the floor, breathing in the music in this rare unguarded moment, both mournful and beautiful all at once.

After sneaking in a cyberman and a conversion unit, a mere piano would have been child's play :)

I think the piano was already in the archives. Jack can't be expected to remember everything that's fallen through the rift over the years. No doubt it was rediscovered when Ianto took charge of sorting everything out.

A lovely scene! I can picture Ianto lovingly cleaning up the old piano, researching how to tune it, just so he can sit down there and play when the mood strikes.
