"Ianto…what are you doing?" Jack watched the Welshman carefully.

"What does it look like?" Ianto retorted without looking back at him.

Jack looked at the green tree, the box of decorations next to it and the younger man putting decorations on the tree.

"Well…let me change the question, why are you decorating a tree?"

"Gwen wants us to have a Christmas tree up, liven the place up a bit." Ianto explained, putting another decoration on the tree.

Jack looked to the floor, trying to gather his thoughts. He'd wanted to say this to Ianto for a while now but he could never figure out the words in his head. He looked back up in time to see the Welshman turn to face him and he smiled impulsively.

"You okay?" Ianto asked carefully, "You seem a little…off."

"No, I'm fine." Jack reassured the younger man.

"Well was there something you were after?"

"Other than you?" Jack teased, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Other than me." Ianto agreed.

"Nothing really."

Ianto smiled, "Well I'd better get this finished."

"Don't let me distract you."

Ianto nodded, resigning to the fact that he was going to be stuck with Jack watching him. Jack smirked as he watched Ianto lean into the box to find other decorations.

"Why isn't Gwen doing this?"

"For many reasons." Ianto sighed, "She's lazy, she wouldn't do it without causing a mess and she wanted to get home to Rhys. It's Christmas Jack; I didn't want her stuck in the hub."

"What about you?"

"I've got you here to keep me company."

Jack smiled at that, "True, but still, you might've wanted to go home."

"I didn't, trust me."

Ianto still had his back to Jack and the older man took a few tentative steps forward. He looked into the box, smiling and pulled out a string of tinsel.

"Ianto?" Jack murmured, smirking when he saw the slight shiver it brought to the Welshman.

Ianto turned back to face Jack, smiling, "Yes Jack?"

"About Christmas…"

"Yes?"

"Well, you see…I've never really, properly had anyone to share it with, not since I was a little boy. I was hoping…maybe…you would like to-"

"Jack stop." Ianto chuckled at the nervousness of the older man, "Of course I'll share Christmas with you."

"Really? You don't have family you'd prefer to share it with, because I promise I'd understand?"

"Just my sister, I don't talk to her that often." Ianto smiled sincerely at the older man, "You're my family now Jack."

Jack grinned, moving the tinsel around Ianto's neck and pulling him closer with it. Ianto smirked, blushing and looking to the floor. Jack tilted the Welshman's head back up to look him in the eyes and brought him into a tender kiss. Ianto found himself holding Jack's suspenders to keep him close, feeling the captain's warmth enfold him. Jack wrapped an arm to the small of Ianto's back while his other hand caressed the younger man's cheek.

"Merry Christmas Jack." Ianto murmured into the older man's lips as they parted for air.

"Merry Christmas."
