torchwood100Summary: Ianto should have just kept on walking. A double drabble.
'I swear to you, it was this big,' Jack's voice echoed down the hallway from where he was still sitting in the boardroom after their briefing had ended. It didn't take a genius to picture Jack demonstrating with his hands as he spoke. Ianto had been clearing away their coffee mugs and leftover biscuits when he found himself pausing to eavesdrop.
'Nah,' came Owen's reply. 'You're just yanking my chain now. I might not have seen it, but it ain't that big.'
Jack chuckled. 'Oh, it really is. I just don't know how he fits it in there.'
'Yeah, and we all know how much you like to exaggerate things. Surprised you're not boasting about yours being bigger.'
Ianto set the mugs down on a side table and marched into the boardroom. 'Can you two please stop talking about me like some cheap hooker? I do not appreciate you comparing my tackle. In fact, I don't appreciate you talking about it, period.' They both appeared confused and Ianto immediately knew he'd mistepped.
'Actually, we were talking about Andy's new SUV and how tight those Millennium Centre parking spots are,' Jack replied, smirking. 'As in really tight. Bigger isn't always better.'
