Still don't own Torchwood. Don't sue, please! I love you reviewers!

They're 13 years old when Jack finally, finally says the word both of them had been wanting to hear for years. A word that would bring smiles to both their faces and make both their hearts swell. They're 13 years old when Jack finally, finally says "boyfriend".

Jack smiled as Ianto answered yet another question correctly in English class. He was so proud of Ianto. He was getting straight A's and all the teachers loved him. His Ianto was doing so well and Jack couldn't be happier. Jack gently reached under the table and took Ianto's hand in his, rubbing his thumb along Ianto's knuckles. Ianto smiled and turned his hand over so their fingers were entwined before turning his head and smiling shyly at Jack. Jack smiled back and felt his heart flutter at the feel of Ianto's hand in his. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to him, the moment he realized he was really, truly in love with Ianto but it had still snuck up on him. The bell rang suddenly and Jack stood up, pulling Ianto with him.

"You're so smart Ianto. I'm so proud of you."

Ianto blushed and smiled before kissing Jack's cheek.

"Thank you."

Jack smiled as the boys walked out into the hallway, the school day finally over. Ianto and Jack walked outside, hand in hand, before Jack stopped and kissed his cheek.

"I have a dentist appointment now but do you want to hang out when I get back? Maybe watch a movie?"

Ianto smiled and nodded before reluctantly letting go of Jack's hand.

"Love you Jack."

Jack smiled as his heart fluttered at Ianto's words.

"Love you too Ianto."

Beth smiled as Jack climbed into the car. Jack sighed and leaned back in his seat, a small smile on his face. Beth laughed.

"You and Ianto are adorable together honey."

Jack frowned.

"What do you mean mom?"

"You and Ianto are adorable as boyfriends."

Jack sighed sadly and shook his head.

"Mom, Ianto and I aren't boyfriends."

Beth sighed and began to rub her son's back.

"Honey, Ianto loves you and I honestly think that if you let him know how you feel, he'll feel the same way."

Jack sighed and nodded, hoping his mom was right.

"Hey Jack."

"Hey Ianto."

"So, I thought maybe we could watch…"

"Ianto…"

Ianto stopped and looked up at Jack. His best friend was biting his lower lip and wringing his hands slightly, he looked nervous. Ianto gently touched Jack's shoulder.

"Jack, what's wrong?"

Jack took a deep breath before leaning forward and gently kissing Ianto's lips. Ianto let out a quiet sigh, too terrified to move, but when Jack began to pull away, Ianto sprung into action and leaned forward, pulling Jack closer to him and kissing him. Jack smiled against Ianto's lips before bringing his hand up to gently touch Ianto's face. When they finally pulled away, Jack smiled and laughed shyly. Ianto blushed and looked down but Jack tilted his chin up, kissing him again lightly.

"I love you Ianto."

Ianto smiled brightly and pulled Jack into a warm and loving hug.

"I love you too Jack."

Jack smiled and kissed Ianto's head lovingly before sitting both of them down on the bed. Jack lay down and lifted up his arm, beckoning for Ianto to come lay down next to him. Ianto smiled and leaned down, resting his head on Jack's chest. Jack sighed as he began to rub Ianto's back. Ianto smiled and leaned up, kissing Jack's lips gently.

"So what happens now Jack?"

Jack smiled brightly.

"We could be boyfriends."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. We already hold hands and kiss and cuddle and…we're almost there already."

Ianto blushed and buried his head in Jack's neck.

"I'm not ready to have sex Jack."

Jack smiled and kissed Ianto's head again.

"Ianto, neither am I. I mean, we're 13 for crying out loud!"

Ianto smiled and looked up at Jack shyly.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

Ianto nodded and smiled when Jack leaned forward and kissed him again.

"Love you Ianto."

"Love you too Jack."

Beth smiled as she dialed Delia's number, laughing quietly on the inside. Her smile widened when Delia picked up.

"Hey Beth."

"I win."

"You win what?"

"I said they would kiss before their 15th birthday. My son just kissed yours. Therefore, I win."

"…"

"…"

"Okay, you win. You'll get your 100 bucks tomorrow."

Beth hung up happily, a huge smile on her face.
