The date

——— quick a/n.   Yes this is the infamous date we never got to see so without further ado. Let's begin ———

Ianto stood in front of his wardrobe sighing as he saw nothing to wear.  Jack hadn't told him much about what they would be doing. He had mentioned dinner, but where jack would take them was a mystery. Ianto sighed and finally decided on one of his less formal suits, still formal but not quite business man like. As he looked in the bathroom mirror colour rose to his cheeks as he noticed the suit he had chosen was in fact one of jacks favourites. He checked his watch jack would be here in twenty minutes, ianto smiled for himself that was plenty of time to finish getting ready.

Meanwhile jack had been ready for hours, he didn't want to be late after all. Jack frowned at the nervous fluttering in his stomach and scoffed at the ideas of 'butterflies in your tummy' or whatever the saying was, carnivorous alien moths screaming to get out maybe but butterflies would be far to passive to describe how he was feeling. He checked the time and decided to leave for ianto he needed to make sure traffic didn't make him late.

Back at ianto's flat, he was just sipping on a glass of water to calm his nerves when the door bell rang. He jumped up from the table and opened the door to his flat "Jack! You're um you're early" he exclaimed smoothing his jacket instinctively. His eyes scanned the man in the doorway noting his obvious effort, it was close to what he normally wore except his shirt was done up all the way and he had a blue bow tie draped around his neck (undone as doing it up would clearly be to formal for the captain). "Ready to go ianto?" He questioned attempting and rather failing to keep the nervous note out of his voice as he handed flowers to ianto.

As they made thier way across the car park ianto finally spoke in a teasing mock outraged voice "jack!" He fake gasped "using the company car for personal business?!" He continued as his eyes fell on the black suv. Jack glanced at him laughingly with a hint of adoration in his eyes "shh just don't tell the boss" he winked as he held the car door open for ianto admiring his suit as he got in.

As they pulled up to the restaurant, ianto gasped "Jack! This place is far to expensive" he exclaimed. "Not if I'm spending my money on you it's not.... stay here you're on the road side: I'll come and open your car door. don't want you getting hit by a car now do we" he replied as he got out the car leaving ianto to contemplate whether jack was this chivalrous with all his love interests.

As they entered the restaurant and got shown to their seat, ianto marvelled at the intricate and expensive looking design throughout the restaurant. "Alright?" Jack said to him in a low voice "you seem overwhelmed we don't have to come here if you don't want" he informed ianto his face a picture of concern. Ianto shook his head "no jack it's. Great it's really amazing" he sat down on the seat jack had pulled out for him. "Oh ok jack I have to know .... why me" he asked curiosity finally getting the better of him. "What do you mean?" Jack asked while handing him a menu. "Well you know.... you could quite literally have your pick of everyone in the world to take on a date and you pick me?" He half asked half explained. Jack looked stricken for a moment his features and tone of voice softening slightly "ianto.... because you're you. You're perfect, you're kind, good at your job and you're different from any of the others". Ianto blinks twice "Jack I..." he begins.      "Good evening sirs what can I get you" the waiter cut in unaware of what he was interrupting. They ordered their food and resumed conversation, jack somehow managing to revert the conversation back to his travels with his mysterious doctor which (although he would never admit it) made ianto rather jealous. Ianto felt almost upset by how quickly the night seemed to go, before he knew it they were leaving the restaurant and going, ianto presumed, home.

However ianto couldn't have been more wrong. "This isn't home" he stated blankly as jack laughed "who said we were going home" he said as he produced a blindfold. Ianto's eyes widened "w-what's that for" he stuttered. "Relax it's a surprise" jack said as he gently blindfolded ianto and lead him out of the car. Soon enough ianto felt the blindfold being removed to reveal a lake and a boat, he looked to jack questioningly. "I hired it" explained jack half shyly  "I thought it would be nice.  Under the stars". Ianto shifted closer to jack "it's perfect" he said as he rested his head on jacks shoulder.

Soon they were out on the water as jack rowed to the middle of the lake. He urged ianto to sit closer as he brought the oars into the boat and wrapped his arms around ianto. And that is where they stayed for the rest of the night well until ianto shifted and tipped the boat up leaving them to swim to shore that is.
