torchwood100Summary: Andy hasn't quite realised what he's gotten himself in for. A double drabble.
‘This is mint,’ Andy said, grinning from ear to ear as he tucked his official Torchwood security card into his pocket.
‘You say that now, but just wait until you're woken up at two in the morning to go hunt down a vicious alien more than happy to tear your throat out for interrupting their evening's plans,’ Ianto replied.
Andy did a double take. ‘What, you don't mean you'd actually put me in front of some murderous alien creature, do you?’
‘You've done late shift in Castle Street on a Saturday night, haven't you?’
Andy squirmed. ‘Yeah, but puking up vodka and chips and Valley girl catfights at three am over who was next in line for a taxi… that's not exactly the same.’
Ianto smirked. ‘No, of course not. You're right. Drunken Valley girls are way worse than anything we've got. Most aliens don't try to claw your eyes out when you offer them help. I mean, unless they're the kind that do that sort of thing just for fun. We get those, too.’
‘Jesus,’ Andy breathed. What had he gotten himself in for? ‘But not on my first day, right?’
Ianto shrugged. ‘Who knows what 2am will bring.’
