K-I-S-S-I-N-G8 Janto Torchwood

"So did you guys do anything interesting while I was gone?"

Ianto and Jack sat on Ianto's couch, watching TV. Ianto sighed. "No, not really. It was pretty boring, honestly. It seems like we were never all here at the same time. Except for when we saw a movie."

"Ah, so you did come out of hibernation." Jack dodged the pillow that Ianto threw at him. He grinned at him. "I mean that in the best way, of course."

Ianto rolled his eyes. "Of course. Whatever that means."

"So," Jack continued conversationally, "was the movie any fun?"

Ianto shrugged noncommittally. "It was okay, I guess," he said reluctantly, remembering the actions of a certain female friend who he'd been sitting next to.

Jack swung his head towards him, one eyebrow raised. "Well, isn't that an enthusiastic answer."

"Just being honest."

"So you didn't like the movie, then?"

Ianto thought about it. He honestly couldn't remember. "I don't know."

Jack gave him an odd look before saying, "Alright, I guess that your summer activities are out for a topic of conversation."

"What about yours?" Ianto asked as Rhiannon burst into the room.

"Get out of here, my favorite show's on."

"But we were here first!" Ianto protested.

"Yes, but I'm older. Now shove up." She tugged him off of the couch. Ianto rolled his eyes.

"Alright, fine, we're going! Let's go to my room, Jack." Ianto led the way to his small room, climbing onto the bed and sitting cross-legged as Jack flopped down on his stomach beside him.

"So, anyway. What were we talking about before we were so rudely interrupted by your sister?"

"Um, nothing?" Jack laughed. "But I'd just asked you about your summer." Ianto picked some lint off of the bedspread. "How was it?"

"Awesome," he said cheerfully. "Man, I'd forgotten how much I missed some of those guys since last time. And there were some new people too. It was tons of fun, you should really think about trying camp sometime."

"Somehow I don't think it'd be my thing. What were the people like?"

Jack considered for a moment. "Rebellious."

Ianto laughed. "You must have fit right in then."

He grinned. "Yeah, I suppose I did." He tilted his head, looking at Ianto. "But somehow I think you would have to."

Ianto snorted derisively. "Rebellious? Me? I think they must have put something weird in that camp food, maybe we'd better give that a chance to wear off before we can start taking you seriously again."

Jack laughed. "No, I'm serious. I think you're more rebellious than you'd like people to believe." He winked. "You'll never beat me, of course."

"Of course. Who'd want to?" He teased. Jack gave him a playful shove, pretending that he was going to push him off of the bed. Ianto dodged away.

"So who'd you rather hang out with? Them or us?"

Jack raised his eyebrows, smirking. "Making me choose favorites, are you?"

"Just wondering."

"I don't know. You guys are sort of separate worlds, you know? You're both amazing in your own ways. But I still think it's pretty awesome that I get to spend the majority of the year with you guys, if that means anything."

"It certainly gives you some brownie points."

"Good to know. I'd like to keep myself in your good graces." He grinned at him. "Because I think you'd be a sight to behold when you're angry."

"Please tell me you haven't been talking with Rhiannon," Ianto moaned.

Jack sat up, putting a hand to his chest, his expression the perfect picture of utter horror and disgust. "What?" he said theatrically. "Talking to the enemy? That would be betrayal!"

Ianto couldn't help but laugh. "Keep it that way, alright? No matter how tempted you might be by some of her stories."

"Like what?"

Ianto flushed. "Forget it. Anyway, I'm sure you can imagine, you've got a little sibling yourself."

"So are we talking major blackmail level here?"

"Leave it, Jack."

Jack grinned. "Alright, I'll just keep it in mind for the future, if I ever need blackmail material. I'll be able to get something. I can be very persuasive, you know."

Ianto rolled his eyes. "Yes, only too well."

"You know, you really can trust me, I won't tell anyone..."

Ianto groaned and fell backwards, and then laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "I shouldn't have said anything! Will you just let it go, please?"

Jack smirked cheekily. "Would you believe me if I said yes?"
