Honestly, Jack hadn't intended for this. He had come downstairs looking for Rose, wanting to only sit with her and perhaps distract himself with a bit of telly. But then, something had happened and Jack was suddenly acting on latent feelings. Jack had nearly retreated after this second kiss, afraid of crossing a boundary he never should have approached.
Friends, yes. Companions of the doctor, of course. But Jack had Ianto and Rose had the Doctor -- well, had in Jack's case. Then her arms were around his neck and Jack held her close, sinking onto the chair with her before he pitched forward and pinned her against the arm rest. Jack felt vulnerable, wondered if this was a mistake.
"Rose... I..." Jack drew in a breath, silently asking her permission now rather than just assuming.
