Exchanging Gifts

Not really sure where this came from. But it's just a short story about Jack and Ianto on Christmas morning. Probably going to keep it as a one-shot unless anyone wants to see Ianto's choice. Open to suggestions about that if anyone has any. No warnings, just a little fluff, very unlike me. Enjoy

Jack grins as he rolls over and takes in the sight of his lover.

Ianto was lying on his side facing Jack, still asleep. His hair was sticky every direction and there was a slight damp patch where he had been drooling. Jack didn't think he had ever seen a cuter sight. In his sleep Ianto was relaxed, the years melting away from his face and body.

Jack reluctantly drags himself out of bed. Today was important, today was Christmas! They had both be adamant that they shouldn't give each other a gift but Jack couldn't resists. But first breakfast in bed for Ianto.

Jack leans over and presses a kiss to Ianto's head before departing for the kitchen.

Ianto stretches as he wakes up before turning to face Jack. He tries to not be too disappointed at the empty spot next to him. Jack had made no promise to be there. Ianto knew Jack barely slept and didn't expect him to stay there bored. And there was always Torchwood. He just had hoped that he could have this one day.

His thoughts are interrupted by the man himself coming into the bedroom.

Jack catches the look of surprise that flashes across Ianto's face. "Hey, I said I would try to be here." Jack grins.

"I know but you know what it's like this time of year." Ianto tries to shrug it off.

Jack doesn't bother responding, instead he sets the tray he had been carrying done on the bed before leaning down to kiss Ianto softy on the lips. "Best Christmas in years." He declares.

Ianto chuckles. "You've barely been awake and you spent that time making me breakfast, how could this be your best Christmas?"

"I'm spending it with you." Jack responds.

Ianto chuckles again at Jack's cheesiness before turning to the tray. It is laden with breakfast foods; crossoaints, toast, pancakes, bacon and eggs.

"You didn't have to." Ianto smiles at Jack. Jack feels his heart swell at the sight.

"But I wanted to. I know how much you do for Torchwood, for me." Jack replies.

"Thank you." Ianto pecks Jack on the cheek before grabbing a piece of toast.

The two men eat their meal in a comfortable silence.

"Present time." Jack grins.

"I thought we said no presents." Ianto raises an eyebrow.

Jack looks at Ianto bashfully. "I couldn't resist."

"Good thing I couldn't either." Ianto admits.

Jack shakes his head while smiling.

"I just need to go grab it." Ianto brushes his lips against Jack's before the Welshman leaves the room.

"Hurry back." Jack calls out.

He does hurry because he is back within a minute, parcel hidden behind his back.

"Close your eyes." Ianto instructs.

Jack obeys and Ianto places the present in his hand. "Ok, you can open your eyes."

Jack does as instructed and rips open the package. "Oh, Ianto." Jack sighs as he reveals the present. "It's made of Zybanium so will last millenniums." Ianto tells Jack.

It's a metal photo album. Flicking through Jack can see some of the photos he kept in his metal box had already been filled. "But how? That's Time Lord technology."

"I had a few words with The Doctor." Ianto confesses.

Jack feels his heart swell once again. Jack knew Ianto still didn't like The Doctor. Jack truly appreciated how much effort it would have taken Ianto to contact the man like that.

"Thank you." Jack murmurs as he pulls Ianto in for a hug.

"You're worth it." Ianto replies.

Jack gives a chuckle. Ianto pulls away with a frown. "Something funny?"

"I forgot how sneaky The Doctor is." Jack supplies but it doesn't make things any clearer for Ianto. "I organised with The Doctor for him to take us on a trip to anywhere and when you want." Jack explains.

"Anywhere and when?" Ianto asks wide eyed.

"All of Time and Space." Jack grins.

"Thank you." Ianto returns Jack's gratitude from moments earlier.

"Anything for you." Jack whispers before pulling Ianto in for another kiss.

FYI Zybanium is a real metal in Doctor Who, Time Lord made and very durable. Let me know if you want to know where/when Ianto choose or just let me know what you thought in general. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
