torchwood100Summary: Ianto and Jack have their own ways of communicating. A double drabble.
Jack stood and watched as Martha Jones walked away, leaving Cardiff. Suddenly a warm, slender hand slipped into his and there was a moment where Jack felt all fuzzy and happy. He gave it the gentlest of squeezes in response to Martha having just kissed him full on the mouth, right there in front of everyone. It was the reassuring touch that said "She kissed me. It didn't mean anything. I've got you and you've got me."
As they began the slow walk back to the hub, Ianto gave his hand a gentle squeeze in reply. The grip assured Jack by saying "I know." There was a whole language of unspoken touches between them that conveyed more than words ever could. "And she's right. Everyone else has had a go. I know I would."
'Not Tosh,' Jack quietly said, breaking the silence of their tactile exchange.
'I find that hard to believe,' Ianto replied, then paused and gripped Jack's hand more firmly. 'Wait. Owen?'
Jack chuckled and released his hand, wrapping it around his shoulders and squeezing him even closer. 'He'd kill me if I told you. But don't worry, he doesn't kiss anywhere near as good as you do.'
