Glittery Smile
Only one knows the pain behind the false glittery smile. Jack lets everyone believe that everything is okay and nothing bothers him, but that is far from the truth.
He tells Ianto the stories of pain, loss, deceit, lies, manipulation, being taken advantage of and torture. The stories usually sent most running as far as they can, but Ianto just holds him and lets Jack tell his story. There's no judgment or look of disapproval.
Ianto presses a loving kiss to his forehead and that's when the real smile emerges and Jack knows he doesn't need to hide or pretend.
