Tweak says, "I promise."

The further determining of is-she-or-isn't-she Tosh
Continued from here

As expected, John returns to the medbay not long after he left. Jack hears the "did you miss me" call, rolls his eyes, and turns his head to call back, "No! You'd have to be gone a lot longer than that." And seeing the blood on John's face, he opens up the drawer with the bandaging in it. "Want to get cleaned up while I configure it?"

He figures Tosh and Ianto have heard the commotion and will be expecting them back up at the sofa, but he wants the equipment ready to go first. And it wouldn't hurt to re-familiarize himself with it, too, so he can better answer any curious questions they have about it.

	Figuring he should make the effort, he looks over to John. "Thank you. This means so much to us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We had to be sure." He gives John a look-- do-try-to-behave-yourself-if-you-can. Still, they have peace of mind now thanks to John bringing the equipment-- and they wouldn't have Tosh back at all if not for John.

"Thank you." He leans over and gives John a brief, chaste kiss, wanting to show how much they appreciate it without having John think it's anything more than that.

	Afterward, he knows it's the wrong thing to do, the petty and jealous thing to do, but he grabs Jack by the shoulder and pulls him forcefully back from the kiss, glaring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As Ianto says thank you, John's mouth drops open, and then Jack kisses him, and he stands there, actually speechless, for a moment. "Huh." Then he catches Tosh's eye and grins. "Well, you're welcome." He tucks his arms across his chest, still looking slightly surprised, not even noticing Ianto grabbing Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I owe you the biggest thank you of all." She leans over and hugs him, pressing a kiss of her own to his lips, before pulling away shyly to try smiling at the other two, especially Ianto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really was a sincere expression of thanks-- but of course, it's also genuine when Ianto tugs him back, and he very genuinely finds that an interesting display. Mark of territory indeed, and Jack isn't about to disagree with that. He's actually rendered speechless himself and only vaguely realizes that Tosh has gone and kissed John.

	He's left with a rather stupid grin on his face. "Well, I'm just...trying to do right, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He pulls Jack close against him, arm wrapping around him tightly. He glares at John. "You're not getting one from me, so don't ask. And no more from Jack, either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He rests his head in with Ianto's and puts his arms around him in return, wordlessly letting him know there's no further risk of that, one time thank you thing. "... Do we actually have cupcakes?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
