torchwood100Summary: Jack misinterprets just who Ianto is trying to impress. A double drabble.
‘It just… came out of nowhere,’ the girl said, giving Jack a sample of her thick brummie accent. She wasn't local and therefore unaccustomed to the weird and wonderful things that Cardiff could spit up.
Jack turned his head, about to yell at his team mate only to find Ianto standing right there at his shoulder.
‘Cuppa?’ Ianto asked, lifting up a paper takeaway cup.
‘Ianto, maybe now isn't the best time,’ Jack said, wondering how his second in command could think of coffee at a time like this. They had a job to do and a scene to clean up.
‘Not you,’ Ianto snapped. He held out the cup towards the girl and gave her a charming smile.
Jack bristled at the motion as she thanked him with her own flirty smile. When had Ianto learned to be that charming? Jack was about to chastise his subordinate, trying to quell his rising jealousy. The girl yawned and then suddenly leant into Jack who instinctively took her into his arms as she slumped unconscious.
‘Witnesses retconned, sir,’ Ianto announced, sounding pleased.
‘How did you know I was going to ask?’
Ianto grinned. ‘Knowing what you want? It's a gift, sir.’
