Thanks to ebineez01 again. I used an idea of hers, though she was probably going somewhere else with it :-)
It felt wrong. And yet there was something utterly beautiful about the sight of Jack Harkness on his door step. Ianto couldn't believe his captain was actually there, at his flat. He'd probably had to check his personal file to get the address.
"Ianto?"
"Uh, sorry. This is – unexpected."
"I know. Are you OK with me being here?"
Ianto's gaze softened.
"Of course. Please come on in."
As soon as the door had closed behind them Jack looked at Ianto with an affectionate smile that warmed the Welshman's heart, and after a moment he pulled him into a deep, sweet, gentle kiss. Ianto kept his eyes closed for a moment longer, and then he gave his captain a soft smile.
"What was that for?"
"Because you're amazing, Ianto. You're so much stronger than most people think. You're taking this whole thing between me and the Doctor with so much grace, and I admire that."
Ianto's smile faltered a little.
"So what about you and the Doctor?"
"Resolved."
"That's good."
He took a breath.
"When are you leaving?"
Jack smiled, thinking back to the conversation he had had with the Doctor.
'I have to go. I have a time lord to take care of.'
The Doctor had waited a beat, then a huge grin had broken out on his face as he'd leaned into Jack a little.
'Wanna come along?'
It had been oh so tempting. But he had told him no.
'I have someone else to take care of.'
He focused on Ianto again.
"I'm not leaving."
"Really?"
Ianto tried not to sound too excited - but failed. Jack smiled at him.
"Will you let me stay with you tonight? Please?"
"When did I ever say no to you?"
~o0o~
Deja vu. If it had been weird to see Jack at his place, having him in his bed was even weirder. The same bed that Ianto had spent more than one lonely night in, thinking of him. The man in question positioned himself on top of Ianto, holding his upper body above him on his forearms and looking him straight in the eye.
"What do you want me to do tonight?"
"I get to choose?"
"Yeah."
Jack moved in to nuzzle Ianto's neck, causing him to close his eyes and hum his pleasure. Eyes still closed he smiled.
"Might be tough for you."
"I figure you deserve a little effort."
"OK..."
"So?"
Jack pulled back to look at Ianto's face, eyebrows raised.
"I want you to focus on me and only me. No thinking of the Doctor or anyone else. Just me. I want all of you."
Jack smiled and kissed him, trailing along his jaw and neck, making him shiver.
"That's easy", he whispered against Ianto's throat. And it was.
