torchwood100Summary: Jack has never been good at staying still. A double drabble.
Jack felt a lot of pain when he opened his eyes and found himself staring up at a cloudless night sky dotted with stars. They were such pretty things, he thought, twinkling and glittery up there. So much nicer from up there at a distance than they were up close.
‘Jack?’ came Owen's voice. ‘I've given you a shot of morphine for the pain.’
Ah, so that would explain his new-found appreciation for the night sky.
‘Just lie nice and still, Jack,’ Ianto's voice drifted into the conversation, a gentle hand on Jack's shoulder provided added reassurance. ‘Owen says the piece of metal piping is pretty deep, but that if you don't move, you won't suddenly bleed out on us until we can safely remove it.’
‘You want me to just lie here?’ he said, slightly appalled at how groggy he sounded. He was meant to be the dashing hero of the hour swooping in to save the day. Not the pathetic casualty.
Ianto gave him another reassuring smile. ‘Just pretend like there's a hoard of paperwork after you and the only way to avoid them attacking you is to play dead.’
‘See, now you're just mocking me,’ he sulked.
