Summary: Jack can't put off his request any longer. A double drabble.
Jack: Are you hiding in the archives again?
Ianto: If by hiding, you mean working, then yes.
Jack: Okay. Good. Only…
Ianto: What?
Jack: I should be doing this in person but… I need you to submit a report on the Cyberwoman incident.
Ianto: Ah, I was wondering when you were going to ask.
Jack: I wish I didn't have to.
Ianto: I get it. It happened on Torchwood property. It's your job to document it.
Jack: And you know how much I hate paperwork. Honestly though, I need your version of events. Warts and all. For the official record, of course.
Ianto: Of course, but if you're asking me to defend my actions then you don't have to worry. I’m not going to write up a report painting you as the enemy. We both know what I did was wrong. Let's just stick to the facts.
Jack: You’re allowed to voice your opinions, Ianto. In fact, for anyone reading it in the future, it might help if you did.
Ianto: Okay.
Jack: I really do hate having to ask you to do this.
Ianto: I know. I really hate having put you in the position of having to ask.
