"Ianto?" Jack's voice was a quiet whisper.

The Welshman shuffled, pulling the quilt over his head and letting out a soft sigh.

Jack tugged on the quilt, "Ianto?"

Ianto groaned, "What?"

"I can't sleep."

"So why wake me?"

Jack pulled the blanket from Ianto's face. The younger man's eyes were barely opened and Jack could see he needed more sleep.

"Sorry Yan."

"Just," Ianto crawled closer to Jack, resting his head on the older man's chest, "Try to stop thinking."

Jack kissed the top of Ianto's head, smiling as he felt the younger man's breath even. He tried not to think but it was impossible. The more he tried not to think, the more he did. Mainly of the man currently sleeping on him.

He looked over at the clock and groaned. It was already three o'clock. Jack shuffled in the bed, trying to get more comfortable in the hopes of sleep.

Ianto moaned irritably, "Jack…what are you doing?"

"Trying to get comfortable. Sorry Ianto."

Ianto sat up, running a hand through his hair, "Jack."

"Ianto."

"Are you going to let me get some sleep?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you, honestly."

"Please Jack, I'm begging you. Go to sleep."

"I'm trying."

Ianto let out a tired sigh, "Are you tired?"

"Yeah."

"Then it shouldn't be this difficult."

The younger man rubbed his eyes tiredly, trying to wake himself enough. Jack smirked up at him.

"What?" Ianto murmured, his voice still deep from sleep.

"Nothing."

"Just go and get a drink or something."

"Can you-"

Ianto cut him off, "I am not making you coffee at three o'clock in the bloody morning Jack. Do you want to sleep or not?"

"Well…what drink will help me sleep?"

Ianto groaned, "Okay fine. I'll make you something."

Jack smirked as he watched Ianto move around in the kitchen from the doorway. The Welshman's moves were all slow and tired and Jack immediately felt like the worst person on the planet. He moved slowly to Ianto, wrapping his arms around the younger man's waist. He smiled as he felt Ianto lean back into him.

"I really am sorry Ianto." Jack murmured, kissing Ianto's neck gently.

"Stop being so comfortable or I'll fall asleep on you."

"I wouldn't object."

"Until you wake me again."

"I'm sorry. Seriously."

"I know. I'm just tired." The Welshman yawned, emphasising his point.

"Do you want me to let you sleep in in the morning?"

"No, I need all the time I can get." Ianto smiled, turning to face Jack and pressing a soft kiss to his lips, "Thank you though."

Jack tightened his grip around Ianto just a little bit, "You're warm."

"No, you are. Come on Jack, drink this." Ianto handed Jack the cup.

"What is it?"

"Hot chocolate. Drink." The younger man commanded, "I'm going to bed."

Ianto kissed Jack once more before removing the captain's other hand from his hip and walking slowly back into the bedroom.

Jack stood at the bedroom door, smirking at the Welshman currently curled up in a ball on the bed. Ianto's eyes were closed tight and his hands gripped the quilt firmly.

"Ianto…you look a little tense." Jack tried very hard to stop smirking.

Ianto's eyes opened, staring at him, "Get in bed, and go to sleep or so help me Jack."

"What?" His grin now on full display, "Or so help you what?"

"You'll never get a cup of my coffee again."

"I'm sure I could persuade you." Jack teased as he walked into the room.

"You're probably right."

The captain climbed on to the bed, snaking an arm around Ianto's waist, "It could be fun."

"Try anything, get out of my bed."

"Sorry." Jack chuckled, pressing a kiss to Ianto's shoulder, "Don't you think you'd be more comfortable the way you normally sleep?"

"That all depends on whether or not you're going to let me." Jack could hear the eyebrow raise in that sentence.

"You've kept me up before too, you know?" Jack pointed out.

"One time and it doesn't even count. I was under alien influence."

Jack sighed, "I. Am. Sorry. Okay?" He turned Ianto to face him, kissing him softly, "I won't wake you again. I promise."

Ianto smiled up at him, "Its okay Jack."

The younger man entwined his legs with Jack's, moving closer and resting his head on the captain's chest.

"Goodnight Ianto."

"Night Jack." Ianto murmured, pressing a kiss to the skin beneath him.

Jack listened to the soft sound of the Welshman's breath for an hour, raking a soothing hand through his hair before he finally, finally went to sleep.

"Jack?" Ianto's beautiful voice whispered through his sub conscious.

"Jack!" He felt a pain in his arm and his eyes flew open as Ianto hit it.

"What?" His voice was deep from sleep.

"Time for work. Come on." Ianto tugged on his arm before setting to work on the tie draped around his neck.

Jack groaned, "You've got to be kidding me."

A/N: I don't know why I wrote this. Hopefully there will be a sequel showing when Ianto kept Jack up. Please review.

Cheers,
