[Smiles and puts a hand against the Doctor's cheek, leaning in for another kiss. If the Time Lord is going to be this compliant about it, Jack sure as hell won't pass up his chance.]
Hope I didn't show myself up... that would be tragic.
[Pauses trying to process that and valiantly attempting to hide how deeply that hint affects him]
Oh? [Trying so hard to mask his confusion and fear from his voice. Hoping that it was for a good reason... that he was forced to while saving Rose or something. Jack would sacrifice himself for her any time.]
...Okay then. [Takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, not normally being the type to just talk about his feelings.]
Since you saved me, you've forged me into a better man. You're teaching me the benefit of compassion and of choosing the right thing to do over the easy thing to do. I'm also learning far more about the lessons of time than I ever would have at the Agency. You and Rose brighten my life... and I would die for either of you if it came down to it. I can honestly say I've never felt that way about anyone.
[Stops and can't meet the Doctor's eyes, feeling the most naked he's ever felt in his life.]
[Walks over and invades the Time Lord's personal space, impulsively going in for a kiss. Cuz Jack likes using actions to show his feelings.]

[Closes the space between them again, raising an eyebrow with a smile.]

Not that I ever broke the rules of the Time Agency, mind.
[Total innocence in his smile. Yep. And Jack's fine with just being close, since it's more than his Doctor tends to allow.]

[Sighs.] Well no point in dwelling on it. The future's not set. Maybe in my universe it doesn't even happen?
Only means I need to prove to you how much you mean to me, right?

Granted, it is a little difficult to express without giving you a load of clues as to a potential future. [Ponders this.]
