Ianto made a noise of agreement, not really being awake enough to say much more. Jack shifted his hand to run through Ianto's hair again, a trick that he had found out worked on the other man a long time ago, and had used liberally ever since. He tried not to take advantage of that fact, but. Especially now, it was hard not to use it, not to want to help Ianto settle down, even if he himself wasn't anywhere close to falling asleep. It only took a minute, not even, before Ianto's breathing was evened out, his body relaxed in between them in the way that only the deepest of sleeps could bring about.

Jack stayed silent for a few more moments, running his hand through Ianto's hair out of habit more than anything else, shifting to press a gentle kiss to Ianto's forehead before sighing. "You... You really believe that everything will work out for this, don't you...?" he inquired, although it was more of a statement than an actual question. "You're not just telling him that to keep his hopes up?"
