An Honor and a Privilege
Ianto stood in the doorway of the office, watching Jack.
“The Doctor is here.”
Would this be the time Jack found the temptation too much to resist? Ianto wasn't young anymore. His hair was mostly gray, and his bones ached with the weather. Could he blame the immortal for wanting to race out among the stars, unencumbered?
Jack smiled. “I called him.”
“You... did?” Ianto tried to swallow the kernel of worry.
Jack got up from the desk and came around to Ianto, taking both of his partner's hands in his. “He's here to pick us up.”
“Oh.” Us. Happiness warred with old insecurities. He was ashamed of himself for his weakness. He was better than that. He'd been secure in their relationship for decades, and Jack had never given him any reason for doubt.
“I wanted to surprise you for our anniversary and take you away for a holiday. Second honeymoon, just us, on a beautiful and quiet little planet the Doctor knows?” Jack seemed hesitant, as if unsure of Ianto's reaction. “Maybe, renew our vows... ?”
“Are you asking me to marry you again?”
“It would be a privilege.”
Ianto wrapped his arms around his husband. “Always yes.”
