torchwoodteaboy | [RL WITH JEEVES AND WOOSTER]

Ianto and Jack sat on the one stones outside the fountain at the center of the Millennium Center, waiting for Jeeves and Bertie Wooster to arrive. Much to Jack's chagrin, Ianto wouldn't let them wait on the invisible lift for the two men to appear--they were supposed to meet them there, not sneak up on them. It might have fit perfectly within Jack's style, but Ianto liked to be a lot more honest and up front with people, especially with prospective friends.

Ianto secretly wondered if this outing was going to count as a double date. He hadn't done anything like that since high school, or at least early university, but he didn't dare ask Jack. He still was a little wary of the fact that Jack was so much more experienced than him. Ianto liked to know everything he could about situations he was in, but he was finding out more and more that with Jack there were no answers, and though the surprises were pleasant, sometimes Ianto'd really prefer if he knew just what the hell was going on with the two of them.

"Shouldn't they be here by now?" Jack asked impatiently.

Ianto looked at his watch. "There's only a minute until 6:00," Ianto said in response. "I'm sure that Mr. Jeeves won't allow them to arrive any time other than the agreed one." He glanced over at Jack. "Be patient," he said, condescendingly. "It's not like you're ever on time, come to think of it." Jack made a face at him, but didn't disagree that fact.

((OOC: So, I figure the replying order should roughly go Jack/Ianto, Jeeves, Bertie, so as not to be too confusing, considering there are four of them. Anyway, enjoy~! I know I will. 8D))

"All right then!" Bertie exclaimed, not even aware of the mild drama.

He did catch Ianto's comment, and he actually let out a chuckle. "You'll soon see that I'm not exactly the dancing type, either, Ianto. I just have trouble sitting still."

"So, how does this twist thingummy work?"

Jack led them a little further out onto the dance floor. "Alright, I'm not an expert, but I guess my twist is alright," he said. "Watch and learn." Jack bent his arms at the elbow and held them out to the side while he bent his knees and twisted his hips, rotating on the balls of his feet. It quickly became apparent that Jack was more than 'alright' at the twist. "C'mon, Bertie," he said, grinning, "join in, you try it!"

"Bloody show off," Ianto said, watching Jack from the table, but smiling at the man's antics. "I appreciate your understanding, sir," he continued, turning back to face Jeeves. "The last time I danced with anyone was with Jack at Gwen's wedding, but that was, er, a bit of a different scene than this one."

Watching the movement for awhile, Bertie then put forth his enthusiasm to attempt the dance.

While by no means reaching to the easy, fluid motion of Jack, he found the dance about as easy to preform as it looked. He laughed with delight, 'twisting' away.

Jack chuckled. "There you go, Bertie!" he said, grinning at the other man. "Loosen up those hips though, more twisting from the legs!" He continued to demonstrate the dance, pleased that the DJ went straight onto Elvis's 'Hound Dog' right afterward. "Like someone put the Charleston on rotators!"

"Yep," Ianto told Jeeves, watching the other two on the dance floor. "I had to step in as DJ for her reception afterward, and since we were going to have to Retcon the crowd anyway, I just thought, 'why not,' you know? He was surprised, but he was actually rather proud of me for it." He smiled to himself. "I'm more of a slow-dance type, though. Jack doesn't know it, by my Mam actually made me take a couple ballroom lessons with her. My Tad absolutely refused but I was available, and she said it would be character building or some load of crap that worked on me because I was just 16."

He followed Jack's instruction as best he could, but it still remained that he was Bertie. He looked less silly, but not by much.

'Hounddog' was winding down, and in it's place 'Yes! We have no bananas!' nuzzled in.

"Ha! I know this one!" Grinning at his dance partner, he said, "How about we go back? The 'Twist' is more tiring than it looks!"

((ooc: We need you at the park, Jeeves-mun!))

"But of course," Jack said, beaming at him. Honestly, he was just happy that he'd gotten a chance to show off, he didn't mind for how long. "You picked that up fairly quickly, you know, Bertie," he said, as they made their way back to the table. "You're a real natural for this sort of thing."

"Fast can be alright," Ianto said to Jeeves. "Just as long as I don't end up making a fool of myself." He looked over to where Bertie and Jack were. "Speaking of fools, here comes Jack."

"You wound me, Jones," Jack said, sliding back into his seat and taking a big gulp of water from his glass. "So, you guys enjoying yourselves, so far?"

"Indeed it is, Jeeves! But not too young to drink! I call for another round, what? And, Jeeves - " he grinned broadly at his valet, " - I very much want a chance to step on your toes, whenever you're willing."

Ianto made to rise for more drinks, but Jack put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll go. I'm too energized to sit down for another moment or two." He winked at Ianto. "Just sit. Enjoy yourself--this is your down time, after all." He patted Ianto on the shoulder, and went off towards the bar.

"Right," Ianto said, turning to the other two. "I'm sure that Jack will be more than willing to switch dance partners with you, Mr. Wooster. I have a sneaking suspicion that he's going to try and get me out there, before the night's over."

Bertie frowned slightly as another song began to stream through.

"I say, that's a bit on the dull and gloomy side, what? A man has killed a man and is awaiting his death sentence?"

Ianto couldn't help laughing out loud at Bertie's comment, before clapping a hand over his mouth, embarrassed. Jack just gave him a pat on the shoulder, chuckling.

"Well, yeah, I suppose so," Jack said. "Bertie, may I introduce to you the fabulous 1980's rock music group, 'Queen'. This is one of their most famous songs," he said, motioning to the crowd, a large number of whom were belting the lyrics out alongside Freddie Mercury. "I tell you, one of the best music groups of the 20th century, they were."

Bertie perked up along with the tempo. "Let him go!" he called out, laughing.

"Well, that's a bit more like it, what? What is that sound? What instrument is that? How about this modern music, Jeeves?" He laughed again.
