"You're cheerful today," Ianto commented lightly to Jack's smile as he entered the Hub. "Any reason?"
Jack leaned on the railing outside his office. "Do I need a reason?"
"Not really." Ianto shrugged. "But there usually is one."
Jack thoughtfully walked to the stairs. "I said that incorrectly, I think."
"Did you?"
"Yep." Jack began to walk down. "I meant to say 'Do I need any other reason?'"
"What's the reason?" Ianto wondered.
Jack broken into a grin as he reached the bottom of the stairs. "Seeing you, of course!"
"Cliche!" Ianto called, rolling his eyes.
"But is it that bad?"
Without waiting for a response, Jack crossed the final distance between them and grabbed Ianto around the waist, using his surprise as leverage to pick Ianto up into a spin.
He slowed and returned Ianto to his feet, then leaned in for a triumphant kiss.
"So is it that bad?" he asked with an out-of-breath smile.
Ianto laughed. "No."
