The salmon is just this side of too dry, as is the wine, and they eat if off the chipped plates. They sit on the floor, knees occasionally brushing, the CD player adding background noise to the sounds of chewing and forks clinking against porcelain.
As they eat, they scoot surreptitiously closer until thigh presses against thigh, forearm against forearm. With the last bite eaten, Jack reaches around Ianto’s shoulders, pulling him in for a long, slow kiss that says more than he could ever put into words. The unspoken I love you in Ianto’s eyes when they pull away is unmistakeable and Jack knows it’s reflected in his own.
As the song changes-Norah Jones singing about her well-deserved Wurlitzer Prize-Jack sets the plates aside and stands. Ianto takes his proffered hand with a soft smile and lets himself be pulled to his feet and into Jack’s arms. They sway to the music, in turn pressing lips to familiar skin and simply enjoying holding and being held.
Norah’s voice washes over them and they hold each other that bit tighter, both knowing one day Jack will be left to his memories and heartache and his own Wurlitzer Prize.
