Summary: Ianto is forever discovering new things about Jack

Ianto watched on curiously as Jack slipped the key into the lock, turning it with practised skill.

'Do you live here?' came his question. He'd seen Jack leave the hub at night often enough, but his own research into their mysterious leader had lead him to seedy bars and lofty rooftops. He wasn't going home to lay his head somewhere, and he always came back to the hub once he was done sifting through whatever emotions he was keeping hidden from the rest of them.

Jack gave a noncommittal shrug of his shoulders. 'I stay here every now and then,' he said slipping through the door.

'Rent must be a nightmare.'

'I don't rent. I own it,' Jack replied. He took Ianto's hand and lead him inside.

Inside it was nothing like Ianto imagined. It was modern, bare and clinical, sparsely furnished without a personal effect in sight. It was at complete odds with the man he knew at work. It looked more like the inside of a spaceship than a home. Jack seemed to sense his thinking.

'Sometimes I just need to get away from it all,' he said, before slipping an arm around Ianto's waist and pulling him in for a kiss.

It didn't take long for Ianto to reciprocate. Wasn't that why Jack had brought him here? This thing between them was still so new, but Jack had said that they deserved somewhere more private to explore it. Ianto wasn't about to argue.

Their kissing grew more fevered and Ianto found his hands tugging at Jack's clothes their own accord as Jack pulled him further into the apartment. This was well past first base, Ianto realised; more than the kissing and touching they'd had before. It scared him, but at the same time, he wanted to touch every inch of Jack's skin, and he couldn't do that with clothes in the way. Jack happily joined him, starting to divest Ianto of his own clothes whilst they kissed, going slow so he didn't scare Ianto off. He needn't have worried. As Ianto pressed his warm skin to Jack's, nothing had ever felt so right. He wanted whatever Jack would give him, hoping Jack would give him everything.  

It wasn't until they broke apart for a breath that Ianto caught sight of it. Oh my. It was so big. How had he not noticed that sooner? It was easily the biggest he'd ever seen. It was hard to say it was the biggest ever, since his only frame of reference was really his own, and pictures he'd seen on the internet. He'd thought his was impressively sized, but it wasn't a patch on Jack's.  

'Like what you see?' Jack asked, following Ianto's line of sight.  

He tried to reply but his mouth felt dry as dust. How was it that Jack made him so nervous and tongue-tied?

'What do you think?' Jack said, admiring it himself.

'That's the largest television I've ever seen.'

'I know. Isn't she a beauty?'

You had to go there, didn't you :)

I was stumped for ideas until the moment I'd finished writing it. Then my muse turned up and suggested I could have written about Jack coming face to face with the largest spider ever.
I said, "why couldn't you have shown up earlier?" He said he wanted innuendo laced fiction with a totally non-dirty twist at the end. I told him that was just cruel.

*giggles* I was pretty sure you weren't referring to the obvious, but I failed to guess what 'it' was. I thought maybe a bed...

Jack doesn't spend a lot of time there, but he does like to be pampered when he is. If Ianto is impressed by the TV, wait until he sees the bed and the bathtub. :)

I'm sure they'll make good use of both ;)
