Summary: Ianto thought he knew what he was in for. A double drabble.
Jack spared a sideways glance as his husband who was very clearly sulking in the co-pilot's seat of their Class Five cruiser. ‘You can’t still be upset,’ Jack said, trying to break the silence without creating an argument.
‘You promised me we’d get a vacation,’ Ianto moped. ‘A bit of fun in the sun, you said. This wasn’t what I had in mind.’
Jack ignored Ianto’s unfortunate misinterpretation of his words. ‘Come on, they asked us to come out here and blow up a sun that would threaten to fry everyone in the solar system to a crisp. How often do you ever get a chance to blow up a sun? Personally, this is one about to get scratched off the bucket list.’
Ianto’s sulky expression cracked as a small smile crept over in its place. ‘Don’t tell me that was seriously on your to do list? What kind of man has blowing up a sun on his bucket list?’
‘What? You're gonna tell me blowing up a sun isn't on yours?’
‘Can't say that it is,’ Ianto replied. ‘Spending a month on a sunny secluded beach in the middle of nowhere definitely was, though.’
Jack shrugged. ‘Can't please everybody.’
