Ianto? I've never known you to be disorganized.

I wasn't talking about myself, sir.

Ah... would it be the mess on my desk? Because I swear I'm getting to it.

Well, it would be nice if you could get to it, but I was making more of a general statement.

I see. Well I'll get to that stack of papers.

Something in particular happen for the general statement?

Not really.

Well that's actually a relief, here I thought I'd missed out on something.

I have a feeling this place would be much more of a mess without you around.

I'm sure it would be. No one would do the dishes at the very least.

And you know all the best places to order from. Really, we'd be lost without you.

That's nice to hear, thank you Gwen.

It's only the truth, Ianto, but you're welcome.

Other than the complete and utter disorganization of the Hub, is everything alright?

As well as can be expected. Nothing out of the ordinary though.

That's good. Boring makes a nice change sometimes.

If you need anything, you let me know, yeah?

It does, yeah.

I will Gwen. Can I get you anything, while we're on the subject. I was just brewing up a fresh pot of coffee.

That would be lovely, Ianto. Thank you. You're a life saver.

{I just started catching up on the many season 2 episodes I missed, and I'm about halfway through Adam and I can't stop going "Ianto would NEVER do that!" lol. It's kind of sad, really}

I'll be right down.

You're the best.

Chaos is the only thing that makes life interesting.

It does make life interesting, but that doesn't mean you can't be prepared for it.

Dude, okay. I said I would take care of that pile of stuff. Chill. It's not like it's on your desk anyway.

I mean, seriously, at least I'm not throwing things at you this week.

I wasn't actually talking about the pile of stuff, though it would be nice if you could deal with it.

...But I need it.

You wouldn't deny me something I needed, now would you, Ianto?

And who've you got a case of the butt with, then, if it's not me?

I didn't say you had to throw it out. Just tidy it up so it doesn't give me palpitations every time I walk past.

Who else but the interns.

Yes, sir. *salutes, smirking*

Oh, God. Do not get me started on them today. I did at least figure out which two it was who were, uh, making use of the closet. We don't have a hose in the office, so I went after them with a bottle of Febreeze I got from the interns in Senator Obama's office downstairs. They shouldn't be doing that again.

See, I like it when you respect my authority.

*Shudders* As if being disorganised isn't bad enough, now they're doing things like that. And at work nonetheless.

...I can't think of anything to say to that that wouldn't come off totally inappropriate, so, um, I'm just gonna run downstairs and give the other staffers their Febreeze back.

Hey! I mean, I settled on the Febreeze 'cause it was nontoxic? But, dude--that means the closet won't smell like the nasty they were doing in there. I'm kinda brilliant sometimes. Admit it. Come on.

Okay. You realise you could have just said that to me, would have taken half the time.

Febreeze= good idea had by Rachel. Sometimes you're brilliant, yes.

Declarations such as this are precisely the reason I keep you around, Ianto.

[locked]

Well, a reason, anyway. Have I mentioned how fetching you are when you're on one of your "that's that" tears, such as this?

I'm glad that you keep me around.

[locked]

Really? Well I shall have to do it more often. *smirks*

Not half as much as I am. Believe me.

[locked]

Do tell me when you feel another round coming on. I'll arrange someplace for a soft landing should I swoon. *grinning*

[locked]

I do like it when you swoon.

[locked]

I'd say I will let you know the next time I feel a bit of it coming on, but you always seem to be there for it anyway. Imagine.

[locked]

I tell you what, I'll let you know next time I feel another round of "that's that" tears if you promise to take me back to the 1800's some time. I wouldn't mind seeing you in that corset again.

[locked]

...Who says you must go to the 1800's to see me in that vest again?

[locked]

You best make sure it's out for next time you come to visit.

[locked]

I could wear it.

Unless you enjoy lacing me into it.

[locked]

I rather like the lacing. And the unlacing.

[locked]

Then how can I refuse?
