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.]

	I can be independent and miss you at the same time. I'm impressive, remember? Are you having fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Right. I can't believe I forgot that. [ Laughing a little. ] Yeah, I'm uh... I'm having fun. It's nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I saw you talking to people and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Hey, that is not nearly as surprising as you're making it out to be. I talk to people all the time! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 12:49 am UTC (link)
	[Running her fingers over his arm.] But tonight you were doing it at a party. Ianto and I have a game going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I talk to people at parties. [ Pout. ] You do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a drinking game. Every time Jack kisses or tries to kiss someone you take a drink. I might die of alcohol poisoning tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. That explains a few things. [ Or so he can pretend. There's a slight bit of awkward tension here, but he's trying not to let it get to him. ] Don't overdo it, I still have a present for you later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	[She manages to miss that tension in her extra relaxed state.] No dying until you can present me. Though you weren't helping by kissing Jack. [Yes, she saw that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	So you saw that, huh. [ Clearing his throat. ] I figured it couldn't hurt to even the score. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Even the score? With me? You'll need to kiss our other host too then. [She leans in to kiss Reid's cheek.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The night isn't over, is it? [ That's some forced joking right there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs lightly and comes in close for a hug or a slow dance or just a good squeeze and cling.] Did I tell you how much I love the necklace? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	[ Squeezeclinghugs just so happen to be his favorite kind of dance. He wraps his arms around her, holding her close and secure. ] You did, and I'm glad that you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Did I tell you how much I love you too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Mmn, you did. [ Little squeeze and since he's still just a tad sore... ] But it can't hurt repeating it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	I love you. [She brings her lips back to his, but doesn't kiss yet. Instead she whispers against him.] Infinity. [And then that kiss happens.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ Wow what did she just do to his heart. He's not even the Grinch and yet he could swear that it just grew three sizes, painfully pressing against whatever words he had lined up in his throat. Good thing actions speak louder — he pushes into the kiss, pouring whatever unspoken words he's got into it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Only good things, right? It feels pretty good to her—warm, gentle, loving. He just fits against her somehow. Comfortable and exciting at the same time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ Only the best things. He does break the kiss after a while, being the responsible sober adult that he is. Not that he's really pulling away or anything, forehead gently pressed against hers. ] Hey you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Hey. [Close feels very right. Room full of people or not.] You're pretty cute. Know that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	Considering the attention I got tonight? Yeah, I know that. [ Teasing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs and pulls back enough to look at him.] You won't leave me for Jack, right? Ianto would be sad. [And she'd be devastated, but she knows better than to think there is anything serious in this.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-09 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I could do it for his sake... [ Such a straight face. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I would never want Ianto to feel like he wasn't the one. Because he is. [She is not talking about Ianto, profiler.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
