Summary: Everyone is allowed a sick day once in a while. A double drabble.
Jack rolled over in the bed, finding himself wrapped up tightly in Ianto’s arms and feeling more fully rested than he had in a long while. He chanced a look at Ianto’s alarm clock and then bolted up in alarm himself. He shook Ianto’s shoulder. ‘Ianto?’
There was an indecipherable murmur and then he cracked open an eye. ‘What is it?’
‘We’ve overslept! It's nearly eleven.’
Ianto appeared uncharacteristically untroubled by the news. ‘I switched it off and texted the team to say we were feeling under the weather and would be staying home today.’
‘You did?’ Jack said, followed by ‘We are?’
‘Well, being sick might be stretching the truth, but a day off is more than deserved, don’t you think? You didn’t have anything in your calendar for today so I thought, why not?’
Why not, indeed, Jack thought, slightly proud of his Wleshman’s deviousness, assuming the team even believed him. ‘I suppose that’s true,’ Jack admitted. ‘We’ll need a lot of rest to knock this thing over in twenty four hours.’
Ianto nodded, pulling Jack back down on top of him. ‘I daresay we’ll be in bed all day and all night. Can’t risk making ourselves worse.’
