"Happy Birthday, Sir."

Jack looked up from his report, his eyes lighting up at the sight of a gift being held out before him. "Ohhh, you shouldn"t have," he said, but didn"t bother to make it sound like he meant that. It was a present, and it was for him, and there was no way Jack was going to argue with that. The boyish glee breaking through in his expression most certainly testified to that.

He circled around the desk and leaned back against it as he tore away the wrapping to reveal a velvet box. Jack opened it and looked a little puzzled.

"Oh it"s a... it"s a pocket watch? Um, don"t I already have one...?"

"Ah but this is no ordinary pocket watch." Ianto took it out of its box for him and pressed it to his hand. "If you concentrate, it"ll tell you something interesting about someone nearby. In this instance, probably me." He smiled, gently and playfully. "Why don"t you try it?"

More than a little intrigued, Jack closed his eyes and waited for something to come to him. Suddenly his eyebrows rose and he was grinning harder than ever. "Oh my," he chuckled, and pulled Ianto into a kiss.

"What did it tell you?"

"It told me that you"re not wearing any underwear," Jack chuckled and kissed him again. "Thank you. I can most definitely say that I like this gift." He undid Ianto"s trousers and slid his hands down his stomach...

Only to end up frowning and looking down. To his disappointment, Ianto was still wearing his boxer shorts.

Ianto took it from his hand to see the dial. "Ah, I see the problem." His smile grew ever more sly and seductive as he slipped the watch into Jack"s pocket, taking advantage of the moment to press their heated bodies right together. "It"s a few minutes fast."

Jack didn"t need anymore encouragement than that to thank him properly for his birthday gift.
