Length: Oneshot
Warnings: NONE
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Whoa, this fic is hot~! :3 Basically, the team goes to a drink for the night and Ianto is being molested by Jack while he says no, but of course Jack doesn't care that they're in public. And because the image of Jack rubbing the front of Ianto's pants with his feet will stay with me for a long time. xD

"You look good tonight," Jack leaned against the bar. He spoke very casually, as if they were discussing the weather. "I think I want to fuck you in the bathroom. Would you rather the bathroom or the coatroom?"

Ianto started to walk away but Jack grabbed him by the wrist. "Jack-"

Jack smiled, innocent and charming. "Come on, Ianto. I've had a hard on for the past hour. You wouldn't leave me in this kind of position, would you?"

EXCERPT:

“You’re making biscuits for Owen?” Jack asked, beginning to get concerned for his boyfriend.

“Sort of.” Ianto added butter brown sugar and a few other ingredients to another smaller mixing bowl mixing them all together.

“You’re sort of making biscuits for Owen?”

...

“I know, but that reminds me.” Ianto lit up as he grabbed a mitt from its spot hanging above the range, before opening the door to the oven and pulling out a baking sheet.

Jack stood and gaped at the contents for a moment before sputtering, “Are those what I think they are?”

“Yes. They are exactly what they look like.”

There is spiked eggnog and mistletoe and music playing loudly. Owen dances with the girls, and with Jack. There is a snog that makes Tosh blush and Gwen giggle, but Ianto isn't privy to any of this. He hangs back from the crowd. This is his first Christmas without Lisa, his first Christmas with no distraction from the celebration. He is drowning in guilt and regret, and in no mood to party.

He sips cider and keeps an eye on the storefront, thinking that no one misses his presence. He is wrong, of course, and Jack seeks him out.

"You need to come relax." Jack leans on the counter, arms crossed against the surface of it. Ianto stares down at his novel and shrugs.

"Ianto!" Jack yelled, rushing forward. He tried to reach for the other man's flailing hands to stop him from falling into the hole but couldn't get a hold of them. The device slipped from Ianto's fingers and landed on the tiled ground with a clatter. Then the hole closed with a hollow sound, swallowing the other man along with it.

"No!" Jack hit the solid ground with his knees, brushing his hands frantically across the stone surface as if he could coax it to open up again and release the man it had just taken away. Gwen appeared at his side, brushing her hair back.
