Summary: Jack and Ianto have very different ideas about what constitutes a problem in their relationship. A double drabble.


'There are crumbs in the bed,' Ianto said, staring down at the bedsheets with disdain. Jack couldn't understand why he'd be wasting his time looking at crumbs when there was a perfectly good-looking fifty-first century ex-time agent lying in the bed alongside them. He was running his hand over the fitted sheet, seemingly inspecting just how many had made it in there, and pulling back the sheet and duvet as if they were playing a game of hide and seek. Just not the kind Jack usually enjoyed.

'We just had breakfast,' Jack replied, stating what felt like the obvious. Toast with thick raspberry jam and more of Ianto's amazing coffee. It was hardly a case for Agatha Christie.

'I know. And now there are crumbs.'

Jack frowned. 'I don't see what the problem is.'

'The problem is that there are now crumbs in the bed and that I'm going to have to strip the whole bed down and wash everything. I can't sleep in a bed with crumbs in it.'

Jack cocked his head. 'Ianto, after what we did last night you were going to have to wash the sheets anyway.'

'That's not the point! No more breakfasts in bed!'

Have to admit, I can sympathize with Ianto. I'm like the Princess and the Pea when it comes to crumbs in the bed!

Or restrict breakfast in bed to things that don't leave crumbs.
