Rating: PG
Challenge: 465 - Motive at tw100
Notes: Ianto has to constantly question Jack's motives

'Whatcha doing?' Jack asked, seeing Ianto wipe his brow as he stood there surrounded by boxes of God only knew what.

'Tidying up, what does it look like?' he huffed. 'Only at the rate you people dump stuff down here, I'll be old and grey before I even clear away enough of it to free myself from being blocked in by it all!'

'Here, let me help then,' Jack said, picking up a box and moving it to one side, without any clue what he should do with it.

'Why?'

'Why what?'

'Why have you decided to help?'

'Why not?'

'Because I'm never sure of your motives when you suddenly offer to do something you'd usually avoid like the plague.'

'Well, maybe I just want to help out because I love you.'

Ianto nearly dropped the box he was clutching. Jack almost never used the L word, giving it a wide berth. Probably just a slip of the tongue. Or maybe he should take it as a sign that something was wrong.

'Okay, who are you and what have you done to Jack?'

Jack laughed. 'It's me, Ianto. No hidden agenda other than wanting to spend more time with you.'
