The extended title is Top Ten Reasons Ianto Forgives Jack For Killing Lisa, The. That's just silly, though. Exactly what it says on the label. Jack/Ianto.

7. Jack knows what Ianto likes.

Ianto smiles breathlessly. It's rare, that Ianto smiles. He knows Jack loves it when he smiles, partly because, really, only Jack ever sees Ianto smile. "Like it?" Somehow, Jack can throw innuendo into those two words. Actually, Ianto reconsiders. It wasn't innuendo, it was that Jack was groping him. "I--I don't know what to say." "Come on." Jack says, "It isn't that generous. After all, I did have a certain vested self-interest in the affair."

"Which is half of what makes it the least romantic gift I've ever received." Ianto teases.

"And the other half?" Jack smiles, playing along.
