Ianto was tired and he didn't want to push his luck so he tried to catch a few Zs on the sofa.

Jack came wandering past and saw Tosh watching Ianto's head nodding.

"Hey, come on. Bed" Jack said softly as he stroked Ianto's cheek.

Ianto seemed to purr as he rubbed his nose into Jack's palm and Jack felt that fluttering again.

Wow.

After all this time, he can still get the stomach flutters.

Ianto stumbled down to the bunker and flopped onto the bed.

"I like this bed" Ianto declared as Jack removed his shoes for him.

It was becoming a habit, not that Jack minded.

Ianto rubbing his back affectionately as he dropped then at last he and turned, glad to find Ianto rising to meet him.

"Ahhhhh, oh Cariad" Ianto sighed as Jack kissed his earlobe.

Oh how Jack has missed this.

A relationship.

A real relationship.

Ianto knew what he liked, his hands showing memory even if Ianto was otherwise boneless.

Ianto was warm, soft and pliable. Ianto was familiar and it felt like sliding into a hot bath at the end of the day as he sheathed himself in Ianto.

He watched Ianto's eyes roll back with passion as they fucked.

Fucked?

No.

As Ianto's head lolled he sighed softly, his hands on Jack's elbows as he helped stabilize him, Jack knew he was gone.

"Oh Ianto" he bit out as he felt Ianto's internal muscles quivering.

"Jack, please Cariad"

Jack slammed harder, moving Ianto up the bed as he sought to please him.

Fucking?

No.

Jack leaned in and took Ianto's bottom lip between his own, sucking it in and nibbling as Ianto fought against him.

"Ianto" Jack moaned as his own body betrayed him and he filled Ianto, who gave in and came along for the ride.

This wasn't that.

Not a shag.

Not a fuck.

This was called making love.

As Jack watched Ianto's face glow with bliss, he knew for certain that he was never letting him go.

"Ianto, darling" Jack crooned, gathering him into his arms and holding him close, kissing his face as Ianto blissed out.

"My lovely man" Jack smiled as Ianto sighed into his neck and nuzzled.

"Sleep darling, I'm right here" Jack promised as he settled his naked man against his chest, like a child.

Ianto hummed softly as he listened to Jack's heartbeat and began to drift off to sleep.

Jack smiled into the brightly lit room.

Ianto snuffled and moaned, then settled again as his hand flopped against Jack's stomach. Jack watched the hand as it opened and closed compulsively.

Then it turned over, palm down and Ianto began to stroke his abs.

Jack snorted as Ianto hummed some more in his sleep.

"Hey Darling, that tickles" Jack whispered.

Ianto muttered and kissed the skin beneath his face and rubbed his nose for a while, sliding deeper into sleep.

"Ianto?"

Jack checked.

Asleep.

"I think I love you, ya know" Jack said softly, shaking his head with wonder.

Ianto was careful not to answer as his hearts stopped and he felt a weird …. Fluttering in his gut.
