"Anyone can feel special"
Ianto was on the piano, not aware tht there was an audience as he played an old favourite. It was a 'Lisa' song that she always wanted on the jukebox when they were out drinking and it seemed natural to start to sing. He was in a melancholy mood lately.
By the time he realised there was someone else in the room Ton was in full ballet mode, all he needed was a Tutu as he flung his arms about, swinging around the room with such glee that Ianto didn't want to end the song.
He swung into it a second time. Revelling in his sweet boy's delight in something new but so fitting and Ton started to laugh as he leapt up, a perfect pirouette. Ianto was pleased he had talked Jack into letting Ton go to Ballet lessons with Babs.
As the music finally died Ton swung to stare to him "Teach me that one!"
Ianto slid over, letting Ton have a seat and they started to play together, Ton carefully learning and watching Ianto's fingers. His own attempts were clumsy but he finally got the melody, then Ianto sang each verse over and over as Ton repeated it.
"The Pretenders, the lead singer was Chrissie Hines, she wore black like a signature thing" Ianto explained "Like you like that black leotard."
"And Tutu" Ton added, "A black tutu like that Black Duck movie Babs watched the other night. A weird one but I liked her black outfit."
Ianto blinked slowly as he computed the Black Swan reference "Well … How about in black work boots and workman gear, like … a manly ballet dancing man? Like that movie Stomp"
"Ooooooo" Ton gasped, "YES!"
Ianto smiled as he sat back and watched Ton play the simple version of the song once more, singing it softly. Then he asked his Taddy "Do you have this on CD?"
"Yes, it's on Mama Lisa's soundtrack" Ianto admitted, Ton rising to go to the rack where CDs were stacked and pulling out the one that had Lisa's favourite songs on it, one Walter still listened to quietly sometimes.
"May I?"
"Yes darling, go download it to your laptop and then slip it back so Walter can find it again" Ianto agreed watching Ton race off.
So special.
