Written for day twelve of the [info]redismycolour Winter Challenge

Ianto was woken by Jack, who was bounding around the bedroom like an over enthusiastic puppy that needed to be let out into the garden. Ianto hid under the covers of his bed, he knew it was still early after peeking at the alarm clock with one eye and that he didn't want to leave the warmth of his bed but Jack wasn't giving up.

“Come on Ianto, get up!”

“It's early and it's cold, I'm staying here.”

“But it's snowing, the landscape as far as the eye can see is white.”

“See above point, it's cold. Freezing actually if it's snowing!” Came another grumble from under the duvet.

“I want to go for a walk in the snow, in all the years I've lived in Cardiff it's never had snow like this.”

“Later, I promise we can go later.”

“But it'll be ruined later, cars and people will have turned it to mush. I want to go out while it looks perfect.”

Ianto stuck his head out the top of the duvet. “Promise to warm me up when we get back?”

“Now how could I refuse a request like that?” Jack replied as he jumped onto the bed and pounced on him.

“You know, you are acting just like a puppy this morning?”

“A puppy? Shall I sniff your crotch?”

Ianto rolled his eyes. “Off, let me get dressed, the sooner we go for the walk the sooner we get home again. Don't forget your lead!”

“Cheeky bugger.” Jack chuckled as he climbed back off the bed.

Ten minutes later Jack was watching as Ianto pulled on a pair of wellies over a pair of very thick socks, he also knew that Ianto had a thermal vest and long johns on under his clothes.

“Are you wearing enough clothes?” Jack chuckled as Ianto put a second jumper on.

“I doubt it!”

As they walked hand in hand through the streets of Cardiff towards the bay Ianto did have to admit the snow made the city look beautiful. The snow was falling fast and heavy, by the time they reached the Plass the snow on the ground was at least a foot deep and scrunched beneath their feet. There's were the only set of footprints as they made their way across it towards the bay, when they got to approximately the middle of the Plass Jack suddenly stopped, pulled Ianto to him and kissed him deeply.

“Isn't it just gorgeous?” Jack exclaimed, releasing Ianto from his arms, opening them wide and span around in a circle.

“A winter wonderland.” Ianto grinned as Jack span around again.

At which point Jack start singing as loudly as his lungs would allow.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Ianto was highly relieved at this point by the fact the Plass was totally deserted, what he wasn't prepared for was Jack grabbing him and twirling him around the Plass as he sang.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Which was not an easy thing with your feet buried in over twelve inches of snow and wearing wellies, and what followed was inevitable and Ianto tripped over his own feet and fell taking Jack with him.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

Which didn't phase Jack in the slightest as he just kept singing, pinning Ianto into the snow beneath him despite Ianto's struggling and trying to get up.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the end Ianto did the only thing he thought would shut Jack up before he either repeated the song or started on another one, he pulled Jack's head down to his and kissed him hard, not stopping till they had to break for air.

“Home, now. I'm frozen.” Ianto ordered, chucking as Jack tried to get up and slipped over again.

Ianto got to his feet, thankful of the tread on the bottom of the wellies and put a hand out to Jack, helping him to his feet. After brushing themselves down, they headed back to Ianto's flat once more hand in hand and when they got there Jack fulfilled his promise and proceeded to warm Ianto up from head to toe and everywhere else between.

The End

Oddly enough, the section where Jack was singing to and spinning Ianto around was exactly what played in my head when I saw the prompt!

That was nice...and yes. I'm still up. This is the last thing I'm doing! Oh and um.. "turned it to much" mush?

I have 'Winter Wonderland' in my head now.

I argee with Ianto, nice warm covers on a cold winter are best. Still he had Jack to heat him up, and that is what counts!

I agree with Jack, if it was snowing i couldn't resist going out there. But I live in Australia, we're lucky if we get rain, we never get snow. So I admit, I don't know how cold it would be.

Lovely fic, thanks.

[identity profile] dragonsrmd.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm with Ianto (I wish!) when it's cold it's stay under the duvet time, though if the boys should stop by.... Loved the images you created, I'm an old Cardiff *girl* and this makes me a little bit homesick, sweet though :)

[identity profile] topgeargirl2.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:40 am (UTC)(link)

at the moment in Australia it is so hot. I do wish that could snow.

The description of Ianto getting ready to go out into the snow,brings to mind a cartoon strip of Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin is getting ready to go outside and play in the snow and his mum is putting layer after layer of warm clothing on him. He hasn't been outside for more then a minute when he needs the loo!!
