AN: I just realised that on the last chapter I said "spoilers to Children of Earth at the end". I mean at the end of the story as a whole, not that chapter. Silly mistake :)

But how good am I to all of you's? Two chapters in one night ! Count yourselves lucky ;)

Hot Chocolate.

It was early in the morning. Very early in the morning. Ianto knew this because Jack had woken him from his albeit light sleep for the seventh time that night. He rolled over to face Jack who was sitting up in the bed, a sheepish grin on his face as he stared down at Ianto.

"Sorry Yan, did I wake you again?"

"Shockingly enough Jack, yes. Would you please go to sleep? For the sake of my sanity?" Ianto rolled back over, determined to ignore the trembling lower lip of Jack's. It had been a long and difficult day at the hub with seven rift alerts and three Weevil sightings. Everyone had been sent home disgruntled and muttering, but Jack had insisted that Ianto stay the night. This was how Ianto came to be in Jack's hole of a bedroom, too hot due to Jack's overwhelming body and unable to stay asleep for very long.

"Yan... I can't sleep."

"I'm aware of that Jack, you've told me eighteen times. Can't you go for a walk around the hub or something?"

"Sorry Ianto. I am tired. I just can't sleep. Can you talk to me for a bit, 'till I do?"

"Jack, I really am too tired to function here." Ianto muttered, his voice slurring slightly due to his exhaustion.

"Oh." Jack lay back down again, looking at the ceiling, trying to make imaginary patterns. He turned over and looked at Ianto's sleeping profile. This brought a smile to his face as he realised Ianto had definitely fallen asleep again. He reached out a finger, with the intent of tracing the flat smooth plains of Ianto's face – something he sometimes did when Ianto was asleep and dead to the world.

"Don't even think about it Jack." Ianto's voice was surprisingly loud and clear, and made Jack jump a little in the confined spaces of the bed. Jack sighed, loudly, and turned over so that he was facing the wall. He frowned as his legs started to cramp up. He really ought to get a bigger bed he thought to himself as he began kicking his legs around, trying to find a position that was slightly more comfortable than his current one.

After a couple of minutes in yet another position, Jack had an epiphany. He usually slept curled around Ianto, falling asleep with his head on the younger man's chest. Maybe this was why he couldn't get to sleep. He shuffled closer minutely.

"No Jack."

"But Ianto, I can't sleep!" Jack cried, finally losing his patience.

It seemed as though Ianto had too.

"So have I Jack!" And with that, Ianto threw back his covers and stormed up the ladders to Jack office, not even bothering to put on a pair of sweatpants as he normally had to. Even in his sleep deprived state, Jack had to admire the boxer clad ass.

With a grin, Jack bounded out of bed and followed Ianto, intrigued as to what the crazy Welshman would do now. He followed him all the way to the kitchen, where Ianto was stood facing the open doorway, proffering Jack's mug towards him.

"Drink it and shut up."

"What is it?"

"Hot chocolate. Don't come back down until you will fall asleep. Otherwise I'll kill you numerous times."

Jack didn't doubt this threat in the slightest, so complied and sat down on the cold kitchen floor, cross legged and drank his 'hot choccie.'
