Fandom: Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Ianto
Word Count: 400
Rating: PG
Summary: A moment of peace in a hectic life.
Notes: Inspired by the Nickelback song, “Satellite.” A bit on the sweet side but it's for V-Day. Don't know if the UK celebrates half-price candy day, but it's a popular 'holiday' here. ;)
Jack strolled into the kitchen, leaning against the refrigerator to enjoy the sight in front of him. Ianto was at the sink, still in his work suit, cuffs undone and sleeves rolled up to his elbows as he finished washing the dinner dishes. Even after all these years, watching Ianto remained one of his favorite pastimes.
Eventually, Ianto paused in his cleaning. He turned around and regarded Jack knowingly. “Kids tucked into bed?”
“Yep.”
“Good. You want to give me a hand finishing up?”
“Nope.”
“The quicker it’s done, the faster we can be upstairs...in bed,” Ianto coaxed.
“Got a better idea.” Jack came forward purposefully. He hit a few buttons on his wrist strap and music filled the air. After taking the dishrag out of Ianto’s hands and tossing it into the sink, he maneuvered his amused partner into a dance position.
“You know what tomorrow is?” he asked after a few moments of enjoying the closeness.
“Our daughter’s birthday.”
Rose Harkness-Jones had been scheduled to make her debut into the world on February 21st. She’d had other ideas, and put in a surprise appearance a week early. It had been a memorable day, to say the least. Jack liked to say she was Ianto’s Valentine’s Day gift. Ianto couldn’t disagree.
“Besides that.”
Ianto pretended to think it over. “Half-priced candy day Eve!”
He affected a swoon. “Careful – you’ll sweep me off my feet!”
“That’s what you get for dancing with me,” Ianto responded, laughing.
It was an act, and they both knew it. Ianto pretended to be unaffected, but he enjoyed the romance as much as Jack did.
He ignored the barb and began singing into the ear nearest his lips. “You can be my whole world, if I can be your satellite...”
“That’s the other way around,” Ianto told him softly, sincerely.
“Right now, right here, you and the kids are my whole world,” Jack promised.
The present is all anyone truly has, and no one knew that better than them. Make every second count. They’d been doing that for over a decade.
“I believe this song takes place in a bedroom...” Ianto whispered in a voice rough with growing passion.
“Have I ever mentioned I like the way you think?” he asked as he began steering them towards the door without letting go.
“Take me to bed.”
That was one request Jack would never deny.
