"Jack are you sure you don't want me to carry some of the bags" ianto questioned as jack struggled along with the bags. "No no I got them... Owen said no heavy lifting after that weevil encounter" jack insisted. Ianto sighed "jack that was four months ago". "You can never be to careful" jack cautioned as they made their way across to another shop. Ianto stopped dead in the doorway "god no... it's my sister ... jack hide me" he floundered pathetically as the woman he was staring at spotted him. "Ianto!" She called, sounding somewhat surprised "fancy seeing you here...". Ianto fixed a pleasant smile onto his face as he greeted her "hello Rhiannon". Rhiannon scanned jack, looking him up and down multiple times "who's this then?"
she questioned. She had always had her suspicions about ianto, he was her brother after all and she had seen his teenage search history. When ianto had introduced Lisa to the family though, she had dismissed his teen years as him being simply curious... but ... clearly not. "This is jack... my boss and jack this is rhiannon my sister" Ianto introduced a little uncomfortably, fixing his sister with a harsh look. Rhiannon raised an eyebrow... maybe this man and her brother weren't an item after all.

The more Rhiannon studied them, though, the more it seemed they were together. Ianto insisted they weren't but ... they stood very close together, jack seemed to be holding all of Ianto's bags and the looks ianto gave jack were adoring besides who goes shopping with their boss. Rhiannon came to three conclusions either her brother had a huge crush on his boss, they were just really good friends, or ianto was lying to her and jack really was his partner. As she said her goodbyes and left the shop she couldn't help but have that last possibility on her mind.

Time passed and Rhiannon had a rather successful shopping trip in her opinion. She had bought that game David wanted and that toy mica wanted. She had managed to find a few nice items of clothing for herself and all in all it was a good day. However the possibility of jack and her brother were still prying on her mind. As she made her way towards her parked car a muted male moan drifted around a corner from a short alleyway. Rhiannon wrinkled her nose, it wasn't uncommon around there but it didn't mean she was used to it. Why couldn't couples just wait until they got home? She attempted to walk past the alleyway without looking to avoid being labelled a gawper when a particular red shirt caught her eye. Her eyes widened. She knew it... but somehow it was still surprising. Perhaps she was surprised that it was ianto who had jack pushed up against the wall and not the other way around. She was immensely grateful that they hadn't gone beyond making out. Still... it was rather intense making out, she thought as watched her brother visibly bite the lip of his supposed boss. She cleared her throat harshly to announce her presence when Ianto's hands began roaming because she definitely did not want to see... that. Ianto jumped away from jack guiltily like a child caught stealing the last biscuit, "Rhi I...". She raised an eyebrow "just your boss huh?". Ianto glanced around wildly "I tripped?" He suggested knowing deep down that the excuse wouldn't work. "Ianto ... you had your tongue down his throat" Rhiannon told him patiently as if talking to a toddler. She gestured toward jack who was leant against the wall smirking as if the whole situation was hilarious to him. Ianto looked towards him desperately "jack tell her you're my boss" he pleaded. Jack smirked more "yeah.. I'm his boss" he said in a tone of voice that suggested that wasn't all he was to ianto. Rhiannon frowned before a look of realisation crossed her face "oh my god ianto you're shagging your boss" she gasped. "No no it's not just that it's..." ianto paused remembering jack's hatred for labels "it's ... jack's my .... well he's my... my dude?" He babbled. Rhiannon looked at him in confusion as jack spluttered with laughter. Jack finally pushed off of the wall and held out a hand to Rhiannon "captain jack harkness... Ianto's boss ..." he paused for a second glancing towards ianto before adding "and his boyfriend". Rhiannon shook the captains hand, slightly concerned about the muffled girlish squeal which erupted from her brother as he spun to face the wall in embarrassment. She decided it best to leave it as she spoke to jack "nice to meet you ... right well I have to go but before I do ... perhaps you'd like to come for dinner .. both of you.. Saturday?" And with that she was stalking away. Ianto turned back around to call out to her "was that a request or?" He trailed off. "It was a threat" she informed him with a smile to herself. "Well that went well...." jack mumbled. Ianto smiled and shoved him lightly "you are so paying for that ... making me look like an idiot in front of her". Jack smirked "I look forward to it".

Rhiannon shuddered as she listened to their conversation. She was only around the corner after all and she really didn't want to think about her brothers sex life thank you very much. It was a shame she didn't hear the rest of that conversation.

Jack turned to ianto his expression a little softer "why did you do that when I called you my boyfriend though?" He murmured brushing an eyelash off of Ianto's cheek softly with his thumb. Ianto shrugged "don't know ... you've never said it and then you said it so casually I just..." he trailed off, breaking eye contact in embarrassment as he was mortified to find tears in his eyes. "Hey hey..." jack murmured softly "ianto the labels just scared me and I... there's something I haven't said because I was too afraid to lose you but... ianto jones... I love you". Ianto huffed a laugh as the tears spilled over "really trying to make me cry aren't you" he joked as he leant against jack "I love you too" he admitted with a happy sigh. Maybe something good came out of the rather mortifying situation after all.
