A/N: For red_day_dawning’s prompt ‘Honey’

Jack sat at Ianto’s kitchen table, reading the paper over breakfast.

“Sugar?”

“Yes, honey?” he looked up to see Ianto offering the sugar for his cereal. “Oh, sorry, I thought we were trying out endearments. Thank you,” he added, taking the sugar and sprinkling some on his cornflakes.

“Endearments? Not that I’m aware of. And even if we were, I wouldn’t call you ‘Sugar’.”

“Why not? Aren’t I sweet enough?” Jack batted his eyelashes.

Ianto snorted.

“Only when you want something.”

“So what would you call me?”

“A pain in the arse?”

Ianto kissed Jack’s pout away.

“You’re my Captain.”

Love this. When you write these little scenes, based on the prompts, that reflect Jack and Ianto's relationship, they have such a delightful warmth to them, even if they are fiction. It provides such a nice counterpoint to the canon/show version of their existence; knowing they both spent a lot of time together in the Hub, this certainly isn't far off the mark at least for me. And it definitely makes a fib of Jack's 'fear' of commitment; he's committed and he knows it.

*grins* Thank you! I love writing these little domestic moments. I believe Jack is perfectly capable of doing relationships and commitment, he loves Ianto and they're happy together.
