(12:07:03 AM) Doctor: "Excellent. I love a good party." *grins* "Especially for such an important occasion."
(12:07:28 AM) Ianto: "Or a birthday."
(12:10:08 AM) Doctor: "Birthdays are important! I mean, at the very least, they provide another fine opportunity for a party..."
(12:11:19 AM) Ianto: "If nothing else, yes!"
(12:33:37 AM) Jack: "Birthday party? Party? Fun?"
(12:34:12 AM) Doctor: "And cake! That's really a very crucial part of the party. In my opinion."
(12:34:24 AM) Jack: "Absolutely! I've baked Ianto a cake!"
(12:34:40 AM) Doctor: "Really?"
(12:34:57 AM) Doctor: "What kind?"
(12:35:03 AM) Jack: "Yes! Chocolate cake with ganache!"
(12:35:28 AM) Doctor: *eyes widen* "That... that's a very impressive cake!"
(12:36:35 AM) Ianto: "Thank you."
(12:37:03 AM) Jack: "Hopefully it turned out delicious!"
(12:37:17 AM) Ianto: "I hope so."
(12:37:30 AM) Jack: "And we'll need the help eating it!"
(12:38:22 AM) Doctor: "Are there candles? And singing! There needs to be singing... Gotta do this properly..."

(12:38:36 AM) Jack: "Absolutely! Yes!"
(12:38:44 AM) Ianto: "Yay!"
(12:39:40 AM) Doctor: "Brilliant!"
(12:39:45 AM) Jack: "Fantastic!"
(12:40:04 AM) Ianto: "Yep!"
(12:40:06 AM) Doctor: *grins broadly*
(12:40:52 AM) Doctor: *brow furrows* "Ianto, I must confess... I don't know how old you are... What birthday is this?"
(12:41:15 AM) Ianto: "Twenty-eight."
(12:41:43 AM) Doctor: *smiles* "Ah, twenty-eight. Very nice."
(12:42:06 AM) Doctor: "Should be a good set of candles then!"
(12:42:10 AM) Ianto: "Doesn't feel much different to twenty-seven."
(12:42:21 AM) Jack: "I'll go get the cake and candles and lighter!"
(12:44:13 AM) Doctor: "And some sort of serving utensil!"
(12:44:19 AM) Ianto: "Sound good to me."
(12:45:03 AM) Jack: "Yes! Guess we can't just dig in with our hands."
(12:45:44 AM) Ianto: "Well, we cooooould...."
(12:46:14 AM) Jack: "And it'd be sooo messy, mmm."
(12:46:35 AM) Ianto: "And we're not messy at all, no."
(12:51:12 AM) Doctor: *eyebrow raised* "I'm all for a good mess now and then, but ganache gets kinda melty... And this suit was just cleaned..."
(12:51:42 AM) Ianto: "Maybe some utensils, then?"
(12:52:19 AM) Doctor: *grins* "At least for the first serving."
(12:52:20 AM) Jack: "Maybe... nothing wrong with melty chocolate, hmm?"
(12:52:25 AM) Jack: *... gawk*
(12:52:46 AM) Ianto: "To get to actually enjoy the cake just for flavour, before....anything else."
(12:53:11 AM) Jack: "... I think I'm going to like your birthday plenty, too!"
(12:53:40 AM) Ianto: "I hope so."
(12:54:39 AM) Doctor: "Well, it is a party... And, part of the point of the party, is for all involved parties to have fun... At the party. Right?"
(12:55:36 AM) Jack: "Yes, to party!"
(12:57:12 AM) Ianto: "Yep!"
(12:57:53 AM) Doctor: "Bring on the candles and the cake then!"
(12:58:18 AM) Jack: He hurries to the kitchen to get the various cake supplies.
(12:58:51 AM) Ianto: He waits almost-patiently, looking over at the Doctor and grinning.
(1:00:30 AM) Doctor: He grins in return at Ianto, then nods seriously. "Hats. We should have had party hats." He grins again. "Next year!"
(1:01:11 AM) Doctor: "See, that's the brilliant thing about birthdays... Guaranteed a party once a year!"
(1:01:25 AM) Doctor: "More, if you decide to celebrate the un-birthdays, too."
(1:01:48 AM) Jack: He sings loudly from the kitchen. "A veeeerrrry merry unbirthday, to you!"
(1:02:12 AM) Ianto: "Or half-birthdays. Those're good too." He grins more. "Want to surprise Jack?"
(1:03:09 AM) Doctor: He smirks and leans in, whispering, "Did you have something in mind?"
(1:03:55 AM) Ianto: "Oh yes. Here, scoot in a little closer."
(1:04:55 AM) Doctor: He inches closer to Ianto. "Alright?"
(1:06:45 AM) Ianto: "Oh yes." He turns more towards the Doctor. "Now pretend like you're kissing me. Or really kiss me, if you like."
(1:07:34 AM) Doctor: He raises his hand to touch Ianto's face.
(1:07:52 AM) Doctor: "As long as you don't think he'll drop the cake..."
(1:08:20 AM) Ianto: He makes a small sound with that, the gesture so similar to Jack's, leaning in more, "He'd better not."
(1:09:18 AM) Jack: He finishes gathering up little plates with utensils on them and has them set on a tray, the cake on it as well and dotted with 28 candles, and works on getting them lit.
(1:10:09 AM) Doctor: He whispers "Dropping that amount of chocolate would practically be a crime," then leans in to press his lips to Ianto's.
(1:10:54 AM) Ianto: "Indeed. And Jack isn't that kind of criminal." He takes a deep breath and presses his mouth back against the Doctor's.
(1:11:20 AM) Jack: He lights the last of the candles and picks up the tray, balancing it and then walking slowly out of the kitchen.
(1:13:11 AM) Doctor: He enjoys this kiss for a moment, then, noticing Jack entering the room, grins against Ianto's lips.
(1:13:49 AM) Ianto: His back is to the doorway, so he can't see Jack, but he can feel the Doctor grinning, and presses a bit harder into the kiss
(1:14:26 AM) Jack: His jaw goes slack and thankfully not his grip, staring at them in very pleasant surprise. ".... Guh?"
(1:15:17 AM) Ianto: He can hear and almost feel Jack's reaction, grinning against the Doctor's mouth more
(1:17:00 AM) Doctor: He returns the force of the kiss for a moment, before breaking away, grinning too much. He attempts to look innocent when he glances at Jack. "Birthday tradition," he says with a shrug.
(1:17:18 AM) Jack: "... Buh? Birthday tradition wha...?"
(1:17:38 AM) Ianto: He turns and grins as well. "Pity you missed the first twenty-seven."
(1:19:22 AM) Doctor: He can't help but laugh. "Ah, Jack... You've never heard of that tradition, kiss for the birthday boy?"
(1:19:44 AM) Jack: "Either missed that one or kiss so much anyway... Wow."
(1:20:09 AM) Ianto: "You poor deprived man."
(1:20:50 AM) Jack: "... I'm holding a flaming cake." He moves to get it set down on the coffee table before anything unfortunate can happen to it. "Wow."
(1:22:38 AM) Doctor: He laughs again, looking at the cake. "Well, Ianto... Happy birthday." He pats Ianto's knee. "Shall we sing, Jack?"
(1:23:02 AM) Jack: He watches the Doctor's hand with interest, then nods. "Yes, right! Singing!"
(1:24:11 AM) Ianto: He grins with the pat to his knee. "Yes! Singing!"
(1:24:31 AM) Doctor: He moves closer to Jack and hums a note. "Ready?"
(1:24:54 AM) Jack: He moves over as well and hums to match the Doctor, then nods. "Ready! Haaappy birthday to youuuu..."
(1:25:16 AM) Doctor: "Happy birthday to you...."
(1:25:35 AM) Ianto: He sits still as they sing, hands poised to clap over his ears should they prove awful.
(1:25:37 AM) Jack: "Happy biiirthday dear Iaaanntoooo!"
(1:26:16 AM) Doctor: "Haappy birthday to youuu!!"
(1:26:29 AM) Ianto: It's certainly not bad, and he laughs at the end of it. "Yaaay!"
(1:26:57 AM) Jack: "Yaaay! And maaany moooorrre!"
(1:27:04 AM) Doctor: He laughs. "Cheers! And good luck with those candles!"
(1:28:48 AM) Ianto: "Oh, I can handle those." He takes a deep breath and leans over to blow them out
(1:29:15 AM) Jack: "Nice blow!"
(1:29:49 AM) Ianto: "Thank you!"
(1:30:05 AM) Jack: "You're welcome!"
(1:30:39 AM) Doctor: He grins. "And now! Cake! Let's see how you did, Jack..."
(1:31:33 AM) Ianto: "Mmmhmm, can't wait to try it."
(1:32:01 AM) Jack: "How I did wha... oh! Baking!" His mind is still very much on that kiss.
(1:32:24 AM) Ianto: "This cake, cariad."
(1:33:12 AM) Doctor: Still grinning, "Yesss, the baking." He pauses then asks curiously, "Do you bake often?"
(1:34:09 AM) Jack: "Right, the cake!" He sets the plates out on the table so he can start portioning out cake to each of them, first slice to Ianto, of course. "Not really. More lately than I have in a long time."
(1:35:50 AM) Ianto: "Thank you." He takes his plate, but waits for Jack and the Doctor to get theirs before he eats. "He's very good, though."
(1:36:59 AM) Doctor: "Yeah..." He nods as he reaches for a plate. "Baking does take a certain amount of free-time that world-saving doesn't often allow..."
(1:41:51 AM) Jack: "You're welcome." He sits himself down once he has his own cake. "Yep."
(1:43:10 AM) Ianto: Once everyone has been served, he takes a bite of the cake. "Mmmm, Jack, this is wonderful."
(1:43:34 AM) Jack: He beams over to Ianto, very pleased that he didn't mess up Ianto's birthday cake of all things! "Yay!"
(1:43:49 AM) Ianto: "Very chocolatey."
(1:44:45 AM) Doctor: He takes a huge bite of the cake and slowly smiles while chewing. "Nicely done, Jack. I'm very impressed."
(1:45:33 AM) Jack: He goes just a bit gooey at getting not just a compliment but an impressed from the Doctor and beams at him, too. "Oh good!"
(1:45:56 AM) Ianto: "Wonderful."
(1:46:30 AM) Jack: He smiles softly to Ianto and nudges shoulders with him.
(1:47:43 AM) Ianto: "Yay." He has another bite of cake.
(1:47:50 AM) Doctor: He grins and continues devouring his piece of cake. "Fantastic. And I mean that."
(1:48:09 AM) Ianto: "Mmmhmmm."
(1:48:46 AM) Jack: "Thank you, Doctor." He melts just a bit more and digs into his cake. "Mmm, Ianto, I have to give you more birthday kisses."
(1:50:03 AM) Doctor: "You're welcome. Thank you for the cake!"
(1:50:26 AM) Jack: "You're welcome and thanks!"
(1:50:40 AM) Ianto: "Oh yes! Kisses and cake all around."
(12:47:47 AM) Doctor: "May I have some more? Just, you know, a tiny little sliver?"
(12:47:59 AM) Ianto: "Channeling Oliver Twist there?"
(12:48:33 AM) Jack: He puts on a little voice, "Please, sir, may I have some more?" He does cut out a small little piece for the Doctor, though.
(12:49:35 AM) Ianto: "Of course you can."
(12:50:13 AM) Doctor: "No, not channeling anybody... Just want more cake!" He grins, reaching out with his plate for the slice of cake. "Brilliant. I love cake. Especially good cake."
(12:50:40 AM) Jack: He leans over some to place the cake onto the Doctor's plate. "I'm glad it's good, then!"
(12:51:11 AM) Ianto: "It's very good."
(12:51:48 AM) Doctor: "It's delicious!"
(12:52:09 AM) Jack: "Yay! Delicious cake!"
(12:52:20 AM) Ianto: "Yay!"
(12:52:52 AM) Doctor: He speaks with his mouth full, "Where did you find the recipe? Was it very difficult?"
(12:54:21 AM) Jack: Jack is in good manners company, then, and he gestures with his fork as he speaks. "Looked around online, a little annoying to sort out the cake flour thing and get it rising right, but it wasn't too bad. No risk of oil splatters like frying stuff."
(12:54:59 AM) Ianto: "It turned out wonderfully."
(12:56:00 AM) Jack: "Thank you, cariad. I wanted your birthday cake to be delicious!"
(12:56:19 AM) Ianto: "It definitely is."
(12:57:03 AM) Doctor: "You could go into business!" He grins and licks a tiny bit of chocolate from his fingers.
(12:59:13 AM) Jack: "Practice for someday opening a cafe together here, yep!" He watches the Doctor's fingers and mouth with great interest.
(1:00:08 AM) Ianto: "Oh, yes, this will definitely have to be on then menu." He watches both the Doctor and Jack's reaction with equal interest
(1:02:23 AM) Jack: "Not sure how often I'd want to bake cake, but I guess we could serve up slices?"
(1:03:00 AM) Ianto: "Yeah, maybe do it as a special, or something."
(1:04:00 AM) Doctor: Oblivious to the staring, he twists his hand about, examining it for any remaining chocolate. "Definitely, sell by the slice... Or maybe a choice, by the slice or the cake... Or on a certain day... Tuesdays could be cake days..." He notices a bit of chocolate on his index finger and sucks on it.
(1:04:28 AM) Ianto: "Tuesdays?"
(1:04:51 AM) Doctor: He shrugs. "I like Tuesdays."
(1:05:03 AM) Jack: "Not every day, yeah, make a good special... thing... for specials..." He stares more, failing to stifle a whimper.
(1:05:17 AM) Ianto: "Nothing wrong with them. Just wondering if you had a reason."
(1:06:28 AM) Doctor: He grins. "Nope. Just like the sound of them." He raises an eyebrow when Jack whimpers. "Okay there, Jack?"
(1:07:24 AM) Jack: "Uh... uh huh. Yep."
(1:08:08 AM) Ianto: He grins. "Tooooooosday." He smiles over at Jack. "Oh, very okay, I think."
(1:09:01 AM) Jack: He's definitely fixated, gaze darting between the Doctor's mouth and hand.
(1:09:43 AM) Doctor: He frowns, noticing Jack's gaze. "What? Have I got something on my face?"
(1:10:31 AM) Jack: "Oh yes, yes you do, something on your mouth, let me get that for you." Which is a total lie.
(1:10:52 AM) Ianto: He smiles softly, watching to see what the Doctor will do
(1:11:39 AM) Doctor: He moves his hand away from his mouth and leans closer to Jack. "Where?"
(1:13:40 AM) Jack: "Oh, just right here." It should give Ianto quite a nice view, leaning in front of him like that. He leans in more to the Doctor and goes in for a kiss.
(1:15:36 AM) Ianto: It is quite a nice view, and he leans back a bit to give them some room.
(1:16:18 AM) Doctor: His eyes widen and he pulls back a bit, smirking. "Right. Something on my mouth, hmm?"
(1:17:12 AM) Jack: He makes a little sound as the Doctor pulls back and glances over to Ianto. "I'll just have to kiss the birthday boy, then." He just about pounces Ianto.
(1:17:54 AM) Ianto: He grins, wrapping his arms around Jack, leaning into kiss him deeply.
(1:19:00 AM) Jack: He's pleased with that and makes a happy sound, arms going around Ianto as they kiss.
(1:19:18 AM) Doctor: He grins, watching the two of them for a moment.
(1:19:55 AM) Ianto: He makes a pleased sound, holding the kiss for a second before drawing back slowly.
(1:20:21 AM) Jack: He sucks softly at Ianto's lips as they draw back from the kiss and smiles. "Mmm."
(1:20:34 AM) Ianto: He grins softly. "Mmmhmm."
(1:22:13 AM) Doctor: He smiles. "Now that's a proper birthday kiss."
(1:22:51 AM) Ianto: "And it's so hard to kiss properly. We tend to be very improper about it."
(1:23:11 AM) Jack: "And you know me, Captain Improper."
(1:24:24 AM) Doctor: He snorts, chuckling.
(1:24:40 AM) Ianto: "Oh, definitely."
