Summary: Ianto is given an introduction to Torchwood's eating habits. A double drabble.
‘Ianto!’ Jack called out across the hub to his newest employee. ‘Why don’t you rustle us up some chow. The natives are getting restless.’
‘Oi,’ Owen grumbled. ‘Who’re you calling a native?’ Owen didn’t even have the decency to look sheepish as Ianto clocked him with his gaze. ‘No offence, mate,’ he added, as if that counted as an apology to the Welsh.
Ianto bit back on any response. He was still too new to start engaging with the team at that level. ‘Do you have any preferences, sir?’ he asked, directing the question at Jack as he hovered in his office doorway.
‘Just the usual,’ Jack replied, seemingly assuming Ianto knew what that was.
Owen groaned and thumbed over his shoulder at the pile of pizza boxes still piled on the table. ‘Mermaid Quay, round past Cha Cha’s then turn left. Can’t miss it,’ Owen said, giving him directions to what was obviously their local haunt. ‘Anything just so long as it doesn’t have pineapple. Who eats pineapple on a pizza? That's just weird.’
‘You work for Torchwood and you think that’s weird?’
‘We’re not investigating it!’ Jack yelled back. ‘And for the record, I happen to like pineapple.’
