The Beautiful Game
Jack didn't do romantic, date-type evenings very often.
But, as he stood in Ianto's doorway - the bag of Chinese food cooling in his hand, a jumble of anticipation (and not just for the food) bubbling through his stomach - he realised he could learn to like this.
He smiled wickedly, stepping forward in anticipation. How could Ianto possibly resist?
"Ianto…"
"Shhhhh!"
He blinked.
"But…"
"Jack, do you mind?" Ianto's head snapped around, fixing him with glare before returning to the television.
Jack sighed, flopping dejectedly onto the couch.
Looks like he'd been turned down for a completely different type of ball-game.
Altogether now: GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN (Your Angel Of Music denies all rumours that she is ridiculously patriotic) GOD SAVE OUR NOBLE QUEEN...
Oh, and yes, please review!
