Summary: "Why are you hanging Christmas decoratins?"
Because It's Christmas
"Ianto, what are you doing?"
"What does it look like, Jack?" Ianto replied cheerfully, not looking up.
"Well, it looks like you're hanging Christmas decorations," said Jack. He walked slowly down the steps, looking around.
He'd only been in his office for an hour, but already there was tinsel and holly hung everywhere, and Ianto was adding decorations to the small Christmas tree now in the corner.
"Why are you hanging Christmas decorations?" Jack added, after a moment.
Ianto looked up at him. "Because it's Christmas, Jack," he said.
"But where did all of this come from?"
Ianto shrugged. "Here and there. Hand me the star, will you?"
Still a bit confused, Jack handed him the golden star for the top of the tree. "You do remember we're going to be the only ones here, right?"
"What, you think I forgot your speech about how 'somebody must remain behind to guard against potential dangers'?" Ianto teased.
Jack grinned. "It was one of my better speeches." He picked up one of the ornaments, a spiral of blue glass. "You could have gone, too."
Ianto frowned. "And leave you here alone for Christmas? I don't think so."
"I don't celebrate Christmas," Jack pointed out. "Or Chanukah, or... any holiday, actually."
"I've noticed," said Ianto. "Look, Jack, I don't care if you don't believe in the religion behind it, but Christmas is a time to spend with the people you love, so... shut up, and find a place for that on the tree."
Jack hung the ornament where it would catch the fairy lights. "Hey, Ianto?"
"Hmm?"
"You did put up all the traditional decorations, right?"
"Well, traditions vary," said Ianto. "But I think I got the basics. What are you thinking, Jack?"
The other man's smile was positively wicked. He pointed.
"Mistletoe."
