tw100Summary: Owen suspects there's something different about Jack's coffee. A double drabble.
‘Okay, people!’ Jack cried out, announcing that the morning briefing had formally commenced. ‘First of all, let’s thank Ianto for the coffee.’ He gestured around the room at them, making them all begrudgingly pass thanks before the caffeine had even hit their systems. It didn’t go unnoticed that this was Jack’s way of making them all express their gratitude without Jack having to voice it himself.
‘Dunno what you do with his coffee that’s so special,’ Owen moped, scowling first at his mug and then at their general support officer. ‘How come once he’s had his he’s all perky and energetic? Doesn’t work on the rest of us.’
‘I don’t make Jack’s coffee any different to anyone else’s,’ Ianto replied.’ Apart from the fact that his is black with as much sugar in it as there is coffee, which personally I think ruins it, but there you go. There’s simply no accounting for taste.’
Owen snorted. ‘You got that right.’
‘Probably just the sugar high then,’ Tosh suggested.
‘Nope,’ Jack disagreed. ‘I’m just naturally high on life. Of course, having just watched the world’s sexiest welshman making coffee like it’s a ballet doesn’t go astray in lifting the mood either.’
