A/N: Sorry to create more self-advertising, but the 'Cola' incident Ianto mentions 7 paragraph-line-things in, refers to one of my 'Between The Action' Chapters, called Revenge. I have no idea what chapter it is, but it's definitely worth the read or just a scan if you've already read it, just so you know what happened. Okay, I'm done now.
Ianto walked into the Hub at 7am, with a dark shirt on, in case any blood got through the bandage from Gwens' shot.
"You're not supposed to be here yet." Toshiko told him worriedly. "It's way too early, are you okay?" Tosh had probably been in charge of the over-night stay in case anything came through the rift unexpectedly.
"Couldn't sleep. Decided to come in, nothing better to do at home." Ianto shrugged, and winced slightly.
"You should be resting." A stern voice told Ianto from the steps.
"Hey Jack." Ianto smiled at him. "I'm fine, really."
"No, you're going to rest, now."
"On the couch? I'm sorry Jack, but I've learnt not to sleep there if there is a chance of Owen coming inside. That can of cola took forever to get out of the suit, and it was one of my favourites." Jack grinned.
"But you got him back, I can't suppose Hot Coffee is too easy to keep the skin cool."
"He deserved it." Ianto insisted.
"Okay, my office then." Jack smiled. "The bunker underneath has a bed."
"I know it does." Ianto smirked. "Sure." He walked over to Jack. "But I don't want to rest for long, I have work to do."
"Archives have been there for years, they will remain for many more years to come." Jack assured him.
"It will take that long to fix them, I need to get it done." Ianto was telling Jack as he guided the Welshman to the office.
Inside the Office, Jack turned Ianto to face him. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes. Definitely. I don't need to sleep."
"Are you sure?"
"…yes?" Ianto did look very tired, and the darkness under his eyes was worse than usual in this job.
Jack thought of insisting, but Ianto didn't look like he'd go for that. "Fine. Well, we have nothing to do, so I vote on making more plans for the 5th of May." Jack smiled, walking over to Ianto and pulling him close.
"Sounds great." Ianto murmured. He closed his eyes, letting Jacks' comforting smell engulf him and immerse him.
Ianto weaved his arms round Jack, resting his head on the older mans' chest. "What themes should we use? What should it be like?" He asked quietly.
Jack noticed how Welsh-sounding Iantos' words were becoming, and smiled, knowing he was close to sleep. He just needed that extra kick. A bit of a Lullaby or Bed Time story as it were.
"We should use Red as the theme. I know how cheesy the 'love' idea is, but I just love seeing you in red." I said softly, re-adjusting my grip round him.
"Red's good." Ianto whispered, voice close to drifting as he fully relaxed into Jacks shape.
"We'll invite Martha, and the Team obviously. We'll all be dressed smartly, and once it's over, me and you will be officially together. We can joke with each other about looking at other people, and know it won't mean anything, because we've got ownership of each other." Jack felt himself swelling with pride at the thought of owning Ianto, and no one else being allowed near him.
Ianto was already asleep by now, and I gently lifted him, placing him on the couch in my office, smoothing out his hair and continuing my monologue quietly.
"We'll both be wearing these rings, and the world will know we are together, how we are bound to each other. Things will be just perfect. We can go to a far off deserted Island for our Honeymoon. Somewhere no one else ever goes to. Just you and me Ianto. We can sleep in all day if we want to, and not have to worry about the world ending. Even if it does, we don't have to care, because we'd be invincible in our little bubble of peace. Oh Ianto, it will be perfect. No one can stop us. Nothing can get between us.
Just me and you, forever."
A/N: Awwww! So cute! I am almost crying at how cute and sweet that is. And, of *course* the main thing Jack focuses on with the honeymoon is being able to sleep in. Please Review!
