Chapter 1

Monday - Cardiff, Wales

The buzzing from the alarm clock was not how Jack Harkness-Jones (40) liked to start his mornings, but since he couldn't smell coffee in the air, it meant his other alarm clock was still in bed with him. After giving the alarm clock a couple of good whacks, some missing making his hand connect with the hard wood of the small table, Jack curved back towards the other side of the bed to wrap his arm around the waist of his partner, Ianto Harkness-Jones (32).

"Wakey wakey. It's time to start the day." Jack mumble.

His face buried in Ianto's neck kissing it. Ianto wiggled slightly moving Jack away then pulling the duvet closer to him.

"I don't want to." He complained quietly somewhat looking like a small child under the covers.

Ianto continued to nestle himself deeper into the bed. Jack could only shake his head and laugh softly. He twisted off the bed and put his legs on the floor shivering slightly because of the chilled floor. Jack rubbed his face with his massive hands to help get the sleep from his eyes, well while waiting for Ianto to get up Jack thought he would get ready by taking a shower first. Hopefully when he got out, Ianto would have coffee ready for him.

The streaming water bought Jack from his drowsy state as he washed all over. While showering, his thoughts went back to the man hopefully now up from the bed and making some of the best coffee the human race has every known in his opinion. He couldn't believe it. In a week, he would be celebrating his eighth anniversary to the younger man. Six as his partner. A small smile graced his lips when he thought back to all good times he had with Ianto. Of course there were some rough times, but they got through them. No couple was perfect. Especially not Jack. Turning the water and grabbing a towel to dry himself off, Jack came back into the room to find his partner still engrossed in the covers. Small snores coming from the bed told Jack that Ianto had fallen back to sleep.

Glancing at the clock, Jack saw it was close to 8 in the morning. Ianto had an appointment at 10 with a client who wanted help trying to find information on some guy from the his past or something. Heading over to the bed, Jack took a deep breathe before grabbing a hold of the covers and just as quickly pulling them off the bed. Ianto curled into himself trying to find some form of warmth. When he couldn't, he opened his eyes and raised his head to glare at Jack.

"Bastard." Those were the only words Ianto mutter before shivering slightly. Jack's answer was only to bark out with laughter.

"Yeah, actually my parent's were happily married. Thank you very much. Now come sleepy head, you know I can't go to work without your coffee, and you need to start getting ready to meet your client."

Ianto raised his head slightly again looking at the window realizing that it was in fact morning. Pulling himself up from the bed, Ianto started towards the kitchen wearing only his boxers. Jack thought he looked adorable with his sleepy puppy dog look, and his hair in a mess.

"Go get dress. I'll start the coffee and then get ready myself." Ianto mumbled heading out of the room and towards the kitchen.

After dressing himself in a light blue dress shirt with his favorite pair of pant and braces, Jack headed into the kitchen to find Ianto just pouring the coffee into their mugs. Quickly Jack grabbed his coffee and placed the mug beneath his nose for a quick sniff before drinking the beverage.

"Ahh. What a perfect way to start the day."

Jack looked over at Ianto who was had a small smile on his lips before drinking his own cup as well. Looking back at the clock and seeing it was a little past eight, Jack finished his coffee the put his cup in the sink before heading to give Ianto a give peck on the lips.

"Alright. Time to go. I'll call you later for lunch, okay?" Jack asked.

"Yeah. That will be fine" Ianto replied.

Jack putting on his boots and collecting his favorite RAF coat, his keys, and his cell phone headed towards the door. Before exiting towards the outside world, he turned back and walked towards Ianto who was heading back towards the bathroom. He grabbed Ianto turning him while diving down onto his lips conveying all the love and happiness he could into that morning kiss.

"Eight years." Jack said with a warm smile on his face.

Ianto looked right back into Jack's eyes and returning the warm smile with his own.

"Yeah. Eight years."

Jack nodded then left his partner to start his day at Torchwood.
