In the back garden is a rose bush, feeble and barely clinging to life. Among the brown and speckled leaves is a tiny pink bud trying its damnedest to bloom. Sitting in front of the bush in the midmorning sun, knees drawn up to his chest and a grim, determined look on his face, is where Jack finds Ianto. He sighs and crosses the small garden when Ianto barely glances up at him before turning back to the plant. He sits beside him with the crack of a knee and wraps an arm around his shoulders, revelling almost giddily in the closeness as Ianto leans into him.
“It could be beautiful,” Ianto whispers.
Jack turns to kiss the tip of his nose, smiling softly when Ianto gives him a look. “Who says it isn’t?”
“I guess it is in its own way,” Ianto says, resting his head on Jack’s shoulder. He takes Jack’s hand in his and brings it to his lips. “I want to help it. Make it better.”
Jack rests his head against Ianto’s, turning to press a kiss to his forehead. “You’re good at that,” he whispers against his temple, not referring to his lover’s gardening skill.
