Love is not having to ask for a hug.

Ton was under the table. Muncher had fallen asleep by Taddy's feet and was dreaming so he leaned against the wall and stroked the little body to calm him down, the little feet stopping their imaginary race and the little dog sighed softly, settling again. Ton still found it amazing that doggies dream, just like all peoples do.

He peeked out to tell Taddy Muncher was doing it again and he watched his Daddy stalk his Taddy like prey.

Taddy was now at the counter, peeling spuds as he listened to the radio and sang along softly. Ton knew he would soon return to his chair and reach down to stroke Ton's hair as he read, something that was their secret thing. Why Muncher had a bed under there as well. Ton's secret lair. That everyone knew about.

Jack slid in behind his husband, lips finding the back of Ianto's neck and Ianto stopped peeling to lean back into the clutch, letting Jack's hands slide around his waist to connect over his stomach.

"We need to be quick, that bloody husband of mine is about somewhere and suspicious" Ianto whispered, Jack's snort of amusement covered with a soft nip to Ianto's neck.

Ianto turned to face Jack, his face soft and full of love as he reached up to stroke Jack's hair from his face, "you need a haircut mister."

Jack kissed him.

Jack's hands roamed, taking in those plump butt cheeks and the sweeping arch of his back, those strong shoulders that held the world up effortlessly and their kiss seemed to go forever. Then Jack let his head rest against Ianto's as they swayed to the music.

Another kiss, and Ianto laughed, his hands on Jack's shoulders tapping gently to the beat as Jack began to dance him around the kitchen, his voice gently singing to a song and Ton recognised it as the one from their wedding videos. Every one. A thousand years.

After Jack had gone Ianto leaned back against the counter, not resuming peeling but smiling softly as he looked down directly at Ton who was still peeking out. Wordlessly he opened his arms and Ton rushed to take the hug Daddy had just handed over, revelling in the fact Taddy would give such a loving one away to him.

That's love ya see?

Never having to ask.
