A/N: For mahmfic’s prompt ‘Warm Bodies’

Jack had spent most of his time on earth hopping from one warm body to the next, never getting attached, never getting involved. Love ‘em and leave ‘em, have some fun and get gone before they started expecting him to stay. That was how it had to be.

He’d stayed too long with Estelle; leaving had been almost unbearable.

For a while with Lucia, he’d almost let himself believe having a family was possible. Then it fell apart.

He’d vowed never again, but somehow this man had broken through his defences.

Ianto Jones could never be just another warm body.

There is a saying in South Africa that every pot has a lid and Ianto is definitely Jacks lid.

great drabble.

I love that! Ianto is definitely Jack's lid, he fits perfectly!

Thank you!

Oh, Jack. Don't worry; once Ianto sees reason, you won't be just another warm body to him, either.

I don't think Ianto ever really saw Jack as just a warm body, he's the type to commit, heart and soul. He may have tried to fool himself in the beginning but there was atrraction beyond just lust.

Thank you!

Jack was doomed the day he met Ianto. But doomed in a really good way.

[bk_forever]

A really warm, fluffy, happy kind of doom rather than a gloomy doomy doom.

Thank you!

It's good that they both see it the same way, even when they're being silly men and not admitting it.

[bk_forever]

It is rather. They may be bad at communicating it at times, ast least in words, but that's a man thing. They find ways to show what they can't always say.

Thank you!

Well, thank God he never has to leave Ianto - and Ianto will never leave him! :)

[bk_forever]

Yes, I gave them a good future to look forward to!

Thank you!

Warm body, warm heart...Jack's oasis in a long life... :)

[bk_forever]

Awww! What a lovely way of putting it! =D

Thank you!

He is so much more than that!

[bk_forever]

He is, and Jack could see that from the start (well, I think he could).

Thank you!
