Summary: Jubilee have chosen Torchwood as guinea pigs for their latest menu. A double drabble.
‘Pizza's here!’ Ianto called out, setting the boxes on the table.
Owen was first to appear, quickly throwing them all open to assess his options. ‘Where’s the meat feast?’
‘Didn't get one,’ Ianto replied as Jack brushed past him, reaching for the closest box and snaffling a slice. ‘Jubilee asked if we might trial a few new toppings for them. This one's called Chilli con Cardiff.’
Owen grabbed a slice and inhaled half, even as Jack was slowly going red in the cheeks.
Jack finally swallowed and then stole a beer from the table, throwing back half before pausing for breath. ‘That's vicious!’ he wheezed, barely able to get the words out. Owen didn't even make it that far, spitting it out on a napkin and stealing the beer from Jack.
‘I don't see what's wrong with it,’ Ianto said, chewing a bite calmly above his tucked in napkin. ‘Is it too spicy? I thought it was just mild. I did suggest to them it might need some extra chilli flakes on top.’
‘Says the man who can eat a vindaloo without breaking a sweat.’
‘So, I should tell them that's a no from us? Pity. I quite like it’.
