[Ianto meets his smile with one of his own, wondering if he will ever get used to that: the dazzling sense of triumph that comes from impressing Jack Harkness. It made the work bearable when Lisa was still in his care, worth returning to when she was gone, and his world when he started sleeping with Jack.
Him, a delinquent and a nobody from Cardiff’s fringes, holding the regard of a powerful, charismatic, bloody gorgeous man—a hero. He’s not sure he will ever get over it much less get used to it—and that’s without the whole second gorgeous boyfriend and a baby on the way.
Ianto stoops properly to hug Jack around the shoulders from behind. This time, when his vision turns red, it doesn’t upset him as much—not when Jack is in his arms and he knows he’s ready for what’s coming.]
I was thinking more about her mother in law and the children—but that as well.
[He pauses to lean over Jack’s shoulder a little, dropping a hand to rest on his stomach.]
And you be nice. I’m the only father you should be assaulting.
[A tiny foot immediately bumps against his palm through skin, making him laugh.]
That’s a good girl. Smack your tad, not your daddy.
