This one is about how much Jack and Ianto love each other. Bits of Tosh and Owen, try and read it but if it's too hard I'll understand. I wanted to make sure that even though they are gone, they're not forgotten. There's also a really good song playing along in the story that I think sums up Ianto and Jack's relationship. It's called So Close by Jon McLaughlin. If you've heard it you'll know what I mean. If you haven't then try to coz it is a great song.

Valentine's Day

14th February. The only day when you had a damn good reason to just randomly kiss your partner. Well that's what Captain Jack Harkness did anyway.

Jack rolled over and grabbed for Ianto to give him a Valentine's cuddle.

"Ianto." Jack moaned.

"Jack, I'm here. Don't worry." Ianto scooted close to Jack; his eyes flickered open and a smile appeared on his face.

"Happy Valentine's Day, babe." Jack smiled.

"Happy Valentine's Day, love." Ianto replied, snuggling closer to Jack.

Jack kissed Ianto's forehead. "Let's get up."

"Why?" Ianto asked, looking up at Jack.

"Because I wanna look after you for once, I mean you always look after me."

"Ok then."

Jack got out of bed first, while Ianto sat up and tried to get his bearings.

"Oh Jack," Jack turned to look at Ianto. "Thanks."

Jack smiled and replied, "You're welcome, love."

Ten minutes later, Jack and Ianto were in the kitchen; Jack had lost the battle of making Ianto stay out of kitchen due to the fact that Jack couldn't make a coffee to save his life, let alone for romance.

"I cannot believe you're in the kitchen, Ianto." Jack moaned.

"Jack, I want a coffee that will keep me awake, not one that will kill me."

"Hey!" Jack exclaimed. "My coffees aren't that bad!"

Ianto started to cough, one of those coughs that are used to cover laughter.

Jack turned round, grabbed Ianto round the waist and replied, "You cheeky bugger."

Ianto got a shiver down his spine, the kind he always got when Jack touched him.

Ianto turned round in Jack's arms and replied, "You know I'm only playing, Jack."

He wrapped his arms round Jack's neck and gave him a loving hug.

Jack got that same shiver down his own spine, whenever Ianto touched him.

"I love you, Jack." Today seemed the perfect day to say it, even though he always said it.

Jack looked down at the young Welshman in his arms and even though Ianto always told Jack he loved him, this time was different. Jack gently ran his fingers through Ianto's hair and replied,

"I love you too, babes."

Ianto looked up at Jack and kissed him softly.

Jack rang everyone up and ordered them to take the day off.

"Forget about aliens and the Rift, just focus on the one you love."

Jack turned and looked at Ianto every time he said this; he phoned Gwen said this and looked at Ianto. Phoned Martha, did the same, and when he phoned Donna, he did the same again except he looked at Ianto a little bit longer.

Ianto felt as though he was floating on a cloud and wished this moment would never end.

"So we've got the whole day together, what do you want to do?"

"Anything, as long as I'm with you Jack, I don't care what we do."

Jack loved Ianto so much and knew how much Ianto loved him. He didn't care what they did either, as long as they were together.

"How about breakfast in bed." Jack suggested.

"Sounds great." Ianto agreed.

"Let's start then."

An hour later, breakfast had been eaten, coffees drunk, presents & cards given out and Jack & Ianto were fast asleep in each other's arms. Not exactly how they had planned spending the day but it didn't matter.

Round about 11:30, Ianto awoke to find his bed-partner missing.

"Jack?" Ianto asked, sitting up.

Jack walked over to the bed and wrapped his arms round Ianto,

"I'm here babe, we were planning on spending some time together, weren't we?" Jack spoke softly.

Ianto nodded.

"I was gonna let you sleep a little longer, Yan."

"Jack, Valentine's Day only comes round once a year, you know."

"I know and I'm hoping this isn't our last. I wanna spend as much time as I can with you, Ianto."

"Ok then." Ianto replied, snuggling closer to Jack; who squeezed Ianto tightly and kissed him on the cheek.

"Come on then, if Valentine's only comes once a year then you best get dressed. We don't want to waste any more quality time together do we?"

Jack didn't have to say any more, Ianto was already up and putting on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and hoodie.

"That's a little different to what you normally wear, isn't it Ianto?"

"Well, you said you wanted to see more of the Dark Horse so I decided this would be the best time to reveal myself a little more."

Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Not like that, Jack."

Another 10 minutes later, Jack had found the perfect cd to play.

You're in my arms

And all the world is gone

The music playing on for only two

So close together

And when I'm with you

So close to feeling alive

A life goes by

Romantic dreams must die

So I bid mine goodbye

And never knew

So close just waiting

Waiting here with you

And now forever I know

All that I want is

To hold you

So close

Jack pulled Ianto closer and they began swaying gently to the music

So close to reaching

That famous happy ending

Almost believing

This one's not pretend

Now you're beside me

And look how far we've come

So far

We are

So close

Oh how could I face

The faces there

If I should lose you now

We're so close to reaching

That famous happy ending

Almost believing

This one's not pretend

Let's go on dreaming

Though we know we are

So close

So close

And still so far.

Ianto almost cried as the song came to an end, it summed up Jack and Ianto's relationship; wishing it wasn't a dream and that it would last forever.

Two hours later, Jack and Ianto had dinner at a very special café; the one they always went to while they were 'Weevil Hunting'.

The rest of the afternoon was spent playing games; Strip Poker being Jack's favourite, not to mention: strip connect 4, strip Blackjack, strip snap and strip scrabble- that last one would take forever to explain.

For the evening, Jack and Ianto went for a walk on the Bay. Ianto looked up at the twinkling stars and asked,

"Do you think Tosh and Owen are up there, Jack?"

"Tosh, I don't doubt it. Owen, on the other hand, he probably went downstairs rather than up."

"Don't be awful, Jack."

"Ye, I think they're both up there, and they've probably told each other how they feel as well."

Jack wrapped an arm round Ianto and pulled him into a hug. Ianto snuggled against Jack's warm body and smiled.

"Come on, let's get back in. It's getting late and we've got work tomorrow."

They had one last coffee before they went to bed.

When they were both snuggled up under the warm covers, Ianto said,

"Happy Valentine's, Jack."

"Happy Valentine's, Ianto."

And that was the end of the most perfect Valentine's Day in history, well, for Jack and Ianto anyway.
