Day 226 l Christmas Party Mingle
[Ianto has, predictably, gone a bit overboard for the Christmas party he and Jack are throwing. The entire apartment has been decorated; there's a tree with gold and silver ornaments and twinkling lights, garlands draped over doorways, candles in every window and festive nicknacks scattered about. It looks like something out of a magazine, and may make visitors a little afraid to actually touch anything. There's also a lot of mistletoe around (one of the side effects of living with Captain Jack Harkness) so it's probably a good idea to keep one eye on the ceiling at all times.

Of course he's made plenty of coffee and some appetizers, so he hopes people really do respond to the invitation Jack sent out, otherwise there are going to be a hell of a lot of leftovers.]

It certainly has been a good one. Ianto's relationship with his family has always been a bit of a rocky one, although he supposes Jack doesn't know that since he tends to lie about it. But he was never exactly close to any of them aside from his sister and as a result holidays that are supposed to be about family and spending time together have never rated particularly high with him.

"Oh?" He's not about to let a challenge like that slip by. "Alright, tell me about the others, then."

Jack has... yeah, actually, Jack has no idea about Ianto's family. Not having had a family of his own for so long, it's not something he really thinks about.

He chuckles, and relaxes against his lover while he reviews the other people he kissed this evening. An odd situation for some, perhaps, but to Jack it's just being him.

"Well, there was this cute girl called Raven, very sweet, and surprisingly outgoing once she got - uh - going! And Rose - vampire Rose not Rose Tyler - I caught her off guard and got quite a smacker out of her! Best, though, was Fingers - uh, Penelope, Penelope Garcia, have you met her?" He thinks he remembers seeing Ianto talking to her at some point but the whole thing's becoming a bit of a blur by now.

"I met her briefly this evening," Ianto confirms. "I liked her." She'd had a good sense of humor, which he liked, and was one of the few people who hadn't made him uncomfortable when they had asked about him and Jack.

He was pleased to discover none of the long list of names bothered him as much as they might once have. It was certainly a bit odd sitting in bed listening to someone he was in a relationship with list off everyone they had kissed that evening, but it was typical Jack and after what they had just done he got the sense it was going to be a long time before he had to worry about being jealous of anyone else.

"She's a babe," Jack agrees, with the kind of warmth he uses to talk about Kitty, too. And he doesn't articulate the first stirrings of real longing for Garcia that he felt this evening. He's not even really acknowledged it to himself, yet.

"She's been going through a rough time because she lost her boyfriend recently - Derek Morgan, from the Defence Force? - so I've been hanging out with her a bit to cheer her up. She's great fun, fantastic sense of humour." He grins. "Almost as much fun to flirt with as you are."

"I'll do my best to try and get to know her better. With a recommendation like that how could I not?" Ianto replies. It had been nice meeting so many new people tonight. It's very easy to keep a isolated as he was used to at home with Jack here, and its a habit he wants to break. They don't need to keep secrets in a place as strange as this.

"Any other kisses to report? Or is that the last of them?" He asks jokingly.

Jack finishes his tea and reaches across Ianto to set the mug down on the nightstand.

"We-ll, there was this one other guy," he drawls, eyes bright. "Gorgeous young man, felt his eyes on me all through the evening, but he didn't make a move on me till right at the end... Turned out to be one hell of a kisser, though! Got me all weak-kneed and subby just from a kiss and a few well-chosen words. He's quite a guy."

	"Oh yes?" Ianto asks, all false concern and artificial jealousy, but still night quite able to hide a tiny smile at the obvious compliments. "Should I be worried?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack smiles, leaning up and round to palm the side of his face. "Oh, I really don't think you need to be worried about anything," he says softly, and leans in to kiss him, warm and gentle and - yeah - loving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ianto smiles at the touch of Jack's hands on his face, leaning into that kiss and for once not wondering if he's reading too much into the feelings behind it. They might not be good at saying the word love but right now Ianto is quite confident it doesn't need to be said out loud for them both to hear it.

Finally breaking away he settled down more comfortably against his pillow, never letting go of Jack. "Come on, I want to hold you until we fall asleep."

He slides down with Ianto, the two of them easily moving as one, and curls up against his side, with only a small wince as his ass twinges. It's a pleasant soreness, and one he'll enjoy very much in the coming day or two.

"I'd like that too," he murmurs, stretching up for another little kiss and then curling back down again, sighing happily as he finally lets his eyes close. "Happy Christmas, Ianto."
