Note: Whoa..just realized I typed up the story for episode 7 before this one! I was like...WTF I'm an idiot! Who could forget Reset!
Of course this is for the dabbling conversation. UNIT caps really. But its both sides. Jack's Pov and then Ianto's. I'm thinking that I should put it in two chapters but realized how short the first part was... Anywho. I dont own.
Summary: The 6th installment in The Awkward Series. Episode: "Reset".

***

"So I was wondering if I could get one of those caps...I'm thinking Ianto would look good in one."

Jack's Pov.

"You want uniforms, your going to have to get them yourself." Martha told me. Frankly, I was a bit shocked. Then she smiled. I'll get them out of her eventually. She won't hold out on me like this. Those thoughts quickly were shoved away. Martha can kid; I will get that cap!

Weird thing is, I've always had a thing for men in uniforms. Cute guys...Ianto for example.

"Jack!" Martha said."What are you grinning at?" She was laughing at me.

"Nothing." I smiled at her. She smiled back.

Somewhere in her mind, I knew my brain was otherwise occupied with images of Ianto in a UNIT outfit. Rad cap and all. I shivered, instantly turned on.

Ianto would be pleasantly surprised what Martha's presence in the Hub has done.

"You know Jack asked me to get you a UNIT cap to wear."

"Did he?"

Ianto's Pov.

"Yes he did." Martha smiled.

"Well, red is my color." Jack's favorite. Loves it on me.

"So its okay to assume you two.." she did a little head bob, and , oddly enough, I knew was she meant. But since when did shaking your head and smirking become the universial sign of 'sex'?

"We..." I needed to choose my words carefully, "dabble."

"Yeah?" she didn't believe me.

"Yeah." I nodded. And it was good. (AN: heeeheee...yes im a dork. stfu)

There was a brief pause and then," So whats his...dabbling like?" I had an instant answer.

"Innovative." I said, "Bordering on the avant-gaurde."
True. So bloody true.

"Whoa.." was the look I got.

"Shall we get your back-story started?" I asked, needing to change the subject.

She got up and we exited the autopsy bay.

Author's Pov.

"Martha told me what you said." Ianto commented, sitting in the chair in front of Jack. The man was doing paperwork before sending Martha into the PHARM.

"Whats that?" he was preoccupied.

"About the UNIT cap."

"Well, red is your color." Jack grinned. Ianto raised an eyebrow.

There was a long silence until...

"CCTV."

"Even in the autopsy bay?" Ianto asked.

"Well, mics for there. No cameras." Jack nodded thoughtfully.

"The whole bleeding time?" Ianto sighed.

"What you don't want me to get you a cap that would look absolutely brilliant on you?" It was Jack's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"Are you saying, Jack Harkness, that our sex life is boring?" Ianto said, with a straight face, while fingering the object behind his back.

Jack's resolve faltered, and his smooth face became anything but.

"Yant, no, I didn't, that's not-" Ianto held up a hand to stop him.

"I was joking." he said.
Jack's face relaxed.

"Then why ask? Did you not want me to ask for the hat?"

"Actually, "Ianto cleared his throat, " when I first heard it, I thought it was a brilliant idea, so I called a friend of Martha's. More of a mutual friend at UNIT and she sent this to me. It got here twenty minutes ago." Ianto grinned and held out a hand with a red hat on it to his boyfriend. The Captain grinned back.

"I love you." he said.

"I know, sir." Ianto backed slowly to Jack's bedroom.

"Test...1...2...3?" Ianto unbuttoned his waistcoat.

"Yes, Sir!" Jack dropped his pen and ran after the retreating back of his boyfriend.
