dwtwprompt prompt: Writer's Choice: "I love you. You're my number one. That's all I wanted to say." -- Li Sayoran, Cardcaptor Sakura

Fandom: Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Ianto
Spoilers: TW Season 1 & 2 (particularly Meat and Adam), Doctor Who up to Season 03
Warnings: Mentions m/m sex
Author's Notes: This is set immediately post Meat, so Ianto isn't a Companion yet. And the quote is from CLAMP because I am a CLAMP whore. And proud of it, baby!

ETA: I realize that this chapter seems fairly out of order, so please allow me to explain -- I never really meant for this story to be a linear account of Ianto and Jack post-Doctor travel; instead it's just a collection of private (or not-so private) Janto moments. This part wrote itself after the wedding chapter started (no, I do not write with an actual plot in my head, just random scenes that string themselves together).
