EXCERPT:

He spoke with his work voice: casual and slightly sarcastic, usually enough to make Jack melt completely. Usually. That tone of voice in the privacy of his flat was not common, and it was enough for Jack to sense danger.

“Ianto, we need to-“ Ianto cut across him again, standing up and turning, meeting his eyes.

“Later, Jack.” The tone was strong in Ianto’s voice, making Jack nod once before watching Ianto leave the room.

...

Ianto returned, a few minutes later, with two mugs of coffee... smiled briefly before leaving the room... He sighed heavily and moved off to his bedroom to go through the motions of finding Jack’s clothes. In reality, the drawer that Jack had filled with spare shirts, trousers and underwear had remained untouched in his absence. Ianto wasn’t ready for Jack to see just how much he’d missed him quite yet.
