A/N: Sorry this is so late, i went back to work today and after a night of coughing - this damn flu is trying to hang on for dear life - i was shattered and it's taken me hours to write this. I will sort out any typo's tomorrow if I've missed any! Sorry there was no chapter yesterday, I had my daughters b/f's mum here all day doing laundry before they went off travelling around England.

“I thought I had lost you,” Ianto whispered, panting softly when the kiss finally broke. “I was sure that I'd never see you again.”

“I couldn't leave the base until we'd been debriefed,” Jack replied. “I had no way of contacting you to let you know I was okay, I'm sorry.”

“Of course you couldn't. Oh god, I feel like a right idiot!” Ianto exclaimed, pulling away from the Captain.

“No, you're not,” Jack told him with a smile. “you were worried about someone you care about … you do don't you? Care about me?”

“More than I realised until this morning,” Ianto replied honestly. “I … I rented a room in a house last night from an elderly lady, we could go there? I want to spend some time alone with you.”

“Not a good idea, those little old ladies have ears like radar,” Jack told him. “but I think I have a solution, I just need to make a call if Donna will let me use her telephone.”

“A call? To who?” Ianto asked, a little intrigued.

“A friend who owes me a favour, it's time he paid up,” Jack answered with a wink, pecked the other man quickly on the lips and then hurried off towards the bar calling for the landlady.

“Donna, are you there? Can I use the telephone?” Jack shouted out, heading straight for the phone hanging on the wall behind the bar before she even answered.

“What's in it for me?” Donna called back.

“I won't ravish Ianto in your pub!” Jack laughed, picking up the receiver and connecting to the operator and requesting the number he required, waiting patiently until his call was answered.

“Owen, how are you?” Jack asked down the line.

“Really? Well, you know that favour you owe me?” Jack continued. “Well, today is the day to pay up.”

“What do I want? That's simple, I need to borrow your flat for a few hours,” Jack explained. “I need somewhere quiet.”

“Okay, yes, you know me too well,” Jack chuckled in reply to whatever the man had said. “I promise to leave it how we find it.”

“Sure, is the key still in the same place?” Jack asked, giving Ianto another wink.

“Thanks, we're completely even now,” Jack said. “and don't argue!”

“Fine,” Jack chuckled. “thanks Owen, talk to you later.”

With one more laugh he replaced the receiver and called out his thanks to Donna, telling her that he and Ianto were leaving so that she could lock the door behind them.

“Who did you call and why does he owe you a favour?” Ianto asked, walking along side Jack down the street.

“A friend, Doctor Owen Harper,” Jack answered. “we were trapped together in a building during a air raid, a bomb dropped nearby and although it missed the building we were in the shock waves caused part of it to collapse. Owen's leg got trapped by falling debris and I freed him and got him to the hospital.”

“You were there together?” Ianto asked, climbing into the taxi Jack had hailed.

“Nope, I'd never met him until then but we became firm friends,” Jack smiled.

“You and him, you were … lovers?” Ianto whispered so the driver couldn't hear.

Jack burst out laughing. “No, Owen isn't that way inclined.”

“Oh right,” Ianto said, turning a little pink and laughing along with him when they pulled up to the kerb.

They climbed out the taxi and Ianto took in his surroundings while Jack paid, realising they had travelled further than he'd realised and that they were barely on the outskirts of London, outside a rather large house.

“Wow, this is Doctor Harpers house?” Ianto gasped.

“It is, before the war he was a renowned surgeon,” Jack answered, fumbling under a flower pot and pulling out a key. “and still is I guess, but for now he's working with the RAF, attending the wounded.”

“Noble,” Ianto nodded as Jack unlocked the front door and let them inside.

“He's just his bit for the county like the rest of us,” Jack replied, loving the look of awe on the younger man's face when he entered the huge hallway.

“This place is amazing,” Ianto said, gazing about, drinking in the decadent surroundings with his eyes.

“I'd love a place like this one day,” Jack said, taking off his coat and hanging it in the small cloakroom near the front door.

Ianto handed Jack his own coat and when Jack removed his boots Ianto followed sit and discarded his own shoes.

“Most of the house is carpeted with cream carpets,” Jack explained. “not like the tiles here, I don't want to risk leaving any marks from out shoes.”

“I agree,” Ianto nodded, not sure what to do next, now that he had Jack completely alone.

“Come on, I'll show you around,” Jack said, breaking the slightly awkward silence and proceeded to show him the whole of the ground floor before leading him upstairs.

“This is the guest room, well one of them,” Jack said, taking Ianto by the hand as they entered one of the bedrooms.

The room was decorated like most of the house, understated but elegant. The carpet was cream and the wallpaper had a small pale peach pattern on a matching cream background, the furniture was oak and from what little he knew, antiques.

“This is beautiful,” Ianto said, noticing that the curtains matched the wallpaper. “did Owen decorate this himself?”

“Are you kidding?” Jack chuckled. “No, he hired this lovely young lady by the name of Toshiko Sato and she did the whole house for him.”

“She did a fantastic job,” Ianto said admiringly.

“Indeed, and it led to them becoming a couple,” Jack smiled. “but the war broke out soon after and for now she still lives with her parents, the wedding has been put on hold.”

“What a lovely story,” Ianto smiled, fidgeting nervously until Jack pulled him into his arms and kissed him softly.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Jack asked him, sliding a hand over the younger man's buttock.

“Yep,” Ianto nodded before his nerves got the better of him.

“If you want to stop, we will, okay?” Jack asked and waited until Ianto nodded again before finishing. “I've never forced anyone and I'm not going to start now.”

“I want this,” Ianto told him, pressing his body to the Captains. “I'm positive.”

“I was hoping you'd say that,” Jack said, cupping the other man's chin with his hand and kissing him tenderly. “I think we should lose some clothes, how about you?”

“Yeah,” Ianto replied, the word escaping his mouth like a sigh and then gulped as Jack's hand moved to tug his shirt from his trousers.

Wonderful chapter...love all the little details that make your stories so real - I live them rather than read them... Good for Tosh and Owen and I hope they get married after the war.

I'm all for having a few hours alone.

Loved the "he was...oh, he still is..." statement. I do that all the time.

Take care of yourself. We'll wait.

Wonderful chapter, but you would leave us with a tease. Makes us want the next chapter all the sooner. I love how you introduced Owen and Toshiko into the story. I hope you are feeling better. It is always tough to return to work when you are feeling bad.
