Summary: The water tower was covered in giant strawberry stickers when I went to Cardiff a few weeks ago. This popped inot my head and just had to be written.

"Sir, we have a problem," Ianto wandered into Jack's office after knocking lightly on the open door. Jack looked up from the files he was trying – and failing- to read through and frowned slightly.

"Oh?" He asked slightly confused.

"The council have decided to cover the water tower in giant strawberry stickers," Ianto continued, hands on Jack's desk as though he were trying to emphasise the point. Jack hesitated.

"And?"

"What do you mean 'and?'?" Ianto slammed one hand down on the table. "If people are staring at the water tower, how long do you think it's going to be before they start seeing through the perception filter?"

"Well we just won't use it for a while then," Jack shrugged. "It'll be fine Ianto."

"It'll be fine?" Ianto pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. "Sir, are you aware of what my job description covers?"

"Yes Ianto, I wrote it," Jack said dryly. He knew exactly what Ianto's job description said. He had spent hours making sure he covered everything from tidying to playing naked hide and seek when commanded.

"Then you'll know that I'll be the one scrubbing the bloody thing when they remove the stickers!" Ianto cried impatiently.

"Ianto calm down," Jack said gently. "I'm sure that the council will clean up any mess."

"Oh come on Jack!" Ianto put his hands on his hips. "Have you seen them? They can't get out of work quick enough! They're not going to spend all day clearing off the gunk!"

Jack could see that Ianto was working himself up and decided he better end this now. Especially if he wanted sex later. There would be no convincing Ianto to settle if he got to wound up. Jack stood up and wandered round his desk to stand in front of Ianto.

"I'll have a word with them, ok?" He said quietly. "You will not have to spend hours cleaning the tower."

"But-"

"No buts. Ok?" Jack put his hands on Ianto's shoulders and could practically feel the other man weakening.

"Fine," he said weakly, heading back towards the door.

"Ianto," Jack said before Ianto could leave. The other man paused in the doorway glancing back at Jack. "You remember what else was in your job description?"

Ianto smiled slightly.

"Vaguely," he agreed teasingly. "You might have to remind me later."
