Ianto wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead as Jack came through the door with another box.
“Why did you have to pick the hottest damn day of the year to move?” he complained to Lisa, who was sitting on her new bed and methodically unpacking the boxes as Ianto and Jack brought them in.
“Luck?” she suggested, shrugging with a slight smile.
“That’s the last of them,” Jack sighed, dropping the box on top of a pile and breathing heavily. “Remind me never to offer to help anyone move house again.”
“I don’t think you actually offered this time,” Ianto said. “We weren’t given a choice.”
“You both promised to be there for me whatever I needed,” Lisa reminded them. “And today, I needed heavy lifting done.”
“Yeah, yeah, we know,” Ianto said, pulling her to her feet for a hug. “And it still stands. Just as long as the next thing doesn’t involve carrying heavy things up several flights of stairs.”
“Oh, you,” Lisa grinned, shouldering him.
Jack wrapped his arms around the both of them. “Just because you’ve moved out doesn’t mean you get to skip out on dinner-and-movie nights,” he warned. “Even try it and you might find two cranky men on your doorstep demanding food and Johnny Depp.”
“You’re going to miss my Johnny DVDs almost as much as you will me, aren’t you?” Lisa asked with a mock-disappointed expression.
“Absolutely,” Jack said, holding them tighter. “Absolutely.”
