Ianto had been busy with his new job lately that he had time for nothing else and was stressed all of the time. Whereas Jack just lounged around on the sofa all day in his sloppy clothes. Ianto's first day at work wasn't so bad, they'd still kiss, cuddle and share the same bed at night, but now as he's been working for three months the most they do is talk to each other.
"Right, I'll be back a ten tonight!" Ianto called out, grabbing his case and unlocking the door.
Jack sighed, "Aren't you forgetting about something?" He said, jumping onto the back of the sofa.
"Urm." Ianto's mind went blank. So he approched Jack gently, stuffing his case in the gap between the table and the chair.
"Is this what you're looking for?" He asked, barely touching Jack's cheeks, he leant in a gave him a short, tender kiss.
"It was nice, but it was something even bigger." Jack threw himself back onto the cushions on the sofa while Ianto was trying to remember. "We had a date tonight, you promised you'd get out at seven!"
Ianto felt a little bit guilty. He didn't know what to say. This was the biggest project in three years and he got to be the manger - but on the other hand, he'd rather have a night of fun with his lover.
"I'll do better than that!" he grins, grabbing his case and heading out of the door again, without a goodbye.
Jack waited inside, not really watching the t.v., but fantising that him and Ianto were on the balcony outside this massive apartment, with the red cover across the small wooden table, two fairly sized stools and a huge romantic dinner lying on the plates. He day-dreamed that him and Ianto were standing on the stools, leaning over the table and passiontely kissing each other. With a loud, sqeauking click, the door opened and Ianto ran in, throwing his case next to the fridge.
"Guess what!" he exclaimed loudly towards Jack who was now stood up faced him, shocked and happy. Before he could guess, Ianto gripped him tightly around the waist and shoved his body against Jacks. After about ten minutes of snogging, he finally looked up and said,
"I realised how much I had pushed you away these last few months and I really want to make it up to you." He pushed Jack onto the sofa and bent down on one knee, pulling out a black case.
"Jack Harkness, I truely, definately know I want to spend my whole life with you. Marry me?"
"Ianto, I..." He hesitated, "I postively know I want to say yes!" he said forcing the ring onto his finger.
"I love you." Ianto whispered.
