A/N: I've been gone for awhile and I'm working on getting new chapters up, but this plot bunny hit and I just had to write it. As for the title, he's not literally kissing Santa, it just seemed fitting because of the season.
I Saw Ianto Kissing...Santa Claus?
Jack woke up in the middle of the night. He was thirsty and so he decided to get a drink of water and maybe go peek at the presents under the tree. Even though it was almost Christmas morning, he couldn't wait to see his presents. There was one glowing box that looked like some new tech. That must be for Tosh.
Then Jack noticed that Ianto was out of bed too. He must not have been able to wait for his presents either.
Jack thought that he would surprise Ianto. Maybe even sneak up behind him and kiss him on his beautiful head. That always put Ianto in a good mood. Jack crept eagerly down the stairs and into the living room. There was the tree, with its lively lights, and the presents, heaped up tall as a skyscraper, and the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, and Ianto. Kissing someone.
Jack was extremely.
"Ianto, you ass!" Jack yelled. "How could you cheat on me with...with..." Jack looked and then rubbed his arm and looked again. It was...a kitten.
"Let me explain," Ianto said. "I came down for a glass of water and then I found this here under the mistletoe."
"Meow," the kitten said, looking up through big, blue eyes.
"And...you were, kissing it's fur," Jack said dangerously. "I'm sorry Yan, I shouldn't doubt you."
"I love cats," Ianto said, "and I saw this one here. I was just about to bring him up to you to ask if you knew where he came from."
That seemed reasonable. Jack went over under the mistletoe and kissed Ianto.
When they broke apart, Ianto flashed a dazzling smile that made Jack feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"I don't know where the cat came from, but I know where we're going," Jack said, pulling at Ianto's arm.
The team didn't open presents until very late that morning.
