"Jack, you know I didn't mean it like that..." he frowns. "Haven't you been listening? I've had...feelings, an attraction, whatever you want to call it, since way back. You say I've acted on them before, but I don't remember it! As far as I'm concerned, I am acting, awkwardly as it is, on those feelings for the first time." He rests his hand on top of Jack and Ianto's, squeezing lightly. "I'm sorry if it came out wrong." His other hand reaches for Rose, "Don't be silly...stay here. Explain to him that this level of foot-in-mouth is completely par for the course with me!"
