'I found anothe one!' Jack yelled out from their bathroom.

'Are you sure it isn't just the same one you found the other week?' Ianto yelled back, plumping up the pillows on the freshly made bed.

'Nope. Definitely new,' Jack replied, standing in the doorway.

Ianto rolled his eyes. 'Let me see, then,' he said, letting Jack point out the supposedly grey hair.

'This shouldn't be happening,' Jack complained. 'I'm a fixed point. That means I'm not supposed to get older.'

'I don't think it's a perfect science,' Ianto replied, knowing how precious Jack was about his appearance. 'Besides, it's four grey hairs in the past hundred and seventy years. I wouldn't be too concerned about them growing at that rate. I'll have four more by next week, and that's just from living with you.'

Jack folded his arms across his chest and looked annoyed. 'I don't know how you can joke about this, Ianto. I could be a withered old man in thirty thousand years time, let alone in a million years.'

Ianto laughed and kissed him on the cheek. 'And even on your thirty thousand and first birthday, you'll still insist we organise a bouncy castle to celebrate.'
