Movies and a surprise

They woke to the sound of pounding on Ianto's door. Immediately after opening his eyes, ianto froze: somehow they had ended up facing each other. Ianto's arms were wrapped around jack's torso and jack's hands came to rest just above his hips. They sprang apart chuckling awkwardly "s-Sorry" ianto stuttered his face flushed. Jack glanced at the floor "no no it's fine ... you can't help what you do in your sleep right?" He laughed. The pounding on iantos door was suddenly accompanied by a shout "MR JONES... I KNOW YOU'RE HOME.... ITS YVONNE". The colour drained from iantos face "shit I... I didn't .... I forgot to pay my.... I need another week" he babbled as jack tossed on his trousers and shirt. Ianto watched him dress and, with a blush, he realised that they had both been wearing nothing but boxers when they had woken up intertwined. Jack stood with a cough "you get dressed... I'll talk to her" Ianto chewed his lip, "okay...".

Jack sauntered to the door and opened it with a flourish. A stern looking woman stood there, she had blonde hair and an icy gaze which even jack shuddered under. "Can I help you?" He asked her casually. She raised an eyebrow and adjusted her clipboard, "my name is Yvonne Hartman, and I'm the land lady of this flat... I'm here to collect the rent of mr jones ... where is he by the way?". Jack pretended to look surprised "oh goodness is that today?" He half gasped, trying not to sound sarcastic "I'm afraid ianto has been rather unwell lately he's ok the mend now but... I've been looking after him... would it be possible for you to come back in a week" he bargained "possibly two weeks?" He added as an afterthought. Yvonne narrowed her eyes as she glared at jack "I'll be back in a week and a half... and I expect the money then" she informed him before stalking off.

He closed the door with a sigh as ianto emerged from the bedroom wearing a T-shirt and joggers, "thanks... for that" the welshman said as he approached jack. Jack smiled, "no problem". Ianto took a breath "how... how are you ... do you remember now?". Jack pulled a thoughtful face "yeah I mean I remember all the important stuff". Ianto nodded "good and... how are you... yanno after the accident" he asked attempting to be tactful. Jack took a shuddering breath "I'm.... fine" he said huffing a small laugh. Ianto could tell jack didn't want to talk about it at the moment, so he didn't press.

They had a rather chilled day. They drank coffee and watched movies. Jack had chosen a sad love film for thier next film... great... no ianto would NOT cry at this one, he refused too.

The credits began to roll as jack glanced over to ianto "hey are you crying?" He teased. Ianto sniffed hurriedly "no it's ... just a film it's not real why would I be crying". Jack laughed "you so are". Ianto caved and smiled glancing up with dewy eyes "maybe a little" he admitted reaching for a dvd "horror next" he announced.

Ianto edged a little closer to jack as the girl on the screen entered the dingy house. Jack's arm snaked around Ianto's shoulders subconsciously. "She's gonna get murdered by the axe man" ianto murmured not too sure why he was leaning into jack's touch. "Mhmmm" jack agreed, watching the screen intently. Ianto jumped letting out a small squeak and a hand crept under a door, grabbing the ankles of the girl on screen. The film ended with screams as jack and ianto came back to themselves the fear subsiding, "oh god I'm sorry" ianto apologised as he realised he was sitting practically on top of jack. "It's fine" jack murmured seeming distracted. Suddenly a crash sounded outside the block of flats. Ianto froze "what was that" he exclaimed. "Probably a fox? Or something" jack suggested. A faint buzzing noise sounded before the electricity flickered off. "Uhh jack?" Ianto's muttered into the darkness "I don't .... I don't much like the dark..." he admitted his voice shaking with genuine fear. Jack seemed to snap into action as he stood and drew the curtains back, letting the street lights give a dim glow to the room. He used his phone torch to navigate around the flat as he fished out candles arranging them around the living room and lighting them until the room was filled with a pleasant, amber glow. "Better?" He asked the anxious Welshman, who was still curled up on the sofa. Ianto nodded "better" he confirmed as jack took a seat next to him. "Jack?" Ianto's murmured looking into jack's eyes "thank you". Jack's eyes twinkled "no problem". They looked into each other's eyes the grin dropping from jack's face. Ianto didn't even mean to say it ... he only meant to think it but... "I really want to kiss you right now"
"Wait ... ianto... what?"
"Sorry .... sorry jack I'm ... no sorry I don't know what came over me I don't-" and suddenly jack's lips were on his. Ianto melted into the touch of the american his arm winding around jack's back pulling their bodies closer together and the world around them melted away. To ianto, jack tasted of bitter coco and cinnamon and he felt like fire and ice at the same time. To jack ianto tasted of coffee and caramel and felt like a warm, comforting blanket in the best way possible. Ianto melted back into the sofa as they broke away from their kiss.
"I Uh..."
"That was"
"Yeah..."
"I'm sorry ianto i-"
"Wait do you... regret that?"
"Well no it's just you're straight right?"
"Um" ianto glanced down his eyes glancing over jack's body "I think... I'm a lot more complicated than you might think.... sir".
This time ianto lunged at jack capturing his lips with heat and passion and flipping them so he was the one on top. The candles around them flickered with the arousal that filled the room as ianto deepened the kiss his tongue sweeping over jack's bottom lip, begging for entry. He was granted access soon enough and he set himself to exploring jack's mouth, tasting and savouring the american. Jack's hands caressed Ianto's sides as he tentatively slipped a hand below under the man's T-shirt, earning him a small whine of need from the man on top of him. "Just one night?" Ianto gasped as they pulled away for air, realising the electricity had flickered back on. "Just one night" jack agreed with a slight growl as he practically dragged the Welshman towards the bedroom.
