Summary: Tosh always knew there was something watching her down in the archives. A double drabble.


Tosh: Are you down in the archives again?

Ianto: They don’t tidy and organise themselves. At least not in the last hundred and forty years. Can’t imagine them starting to do it now.

Tosh: Don’t you find it a little bit creepy down there? I always get the heebie-jeebies.

Ianto: Is that a medical condition? Should we get Owen to check that out?

Tosh: You know what I mean. Like there’s something or someone down there watching your every move.

Ianto: Yes, the dust bunnies are truly frightening. You should see the size of some of them. Always carry a big stick. Personally, I find a hockey stick a most reassuring and effective weapon.

Tosh: You don’t think the archives are haunted, do you?

Ianto: By Torchwood ghosts of missions past?

Tosh: Is that a yes?

Ianto: There’s no ghosts here, Tosh.

Tosh: Well, that’s a relief.

Ianto: But as for that sense of always being watched?

Tosh: Yeah?

Ianto: That’s just Jack. He’s got hidden CCTV everywhere. I think he gets a kick out of watching me work.

Tosh: That is a little bit creepy.

Ianto: Yes, it is. Birdwatching is ornithology but what’s the term for Ianto watching?

Ianthology?

Not that I blame Jack for wanting to watch Ianto. I'd do it too.

Lol, no, that's the collection of videos Jack has of Ianto working :)

Heee, yes, that fits!

Ianto-watching would maybe be Ianthonology then?
