torchwood100Summary: Owen is upset that Jack didn't appreciate his gift. A double drabble.
Owen groaned as he unfolded the small piece of paper. ‘Urgh, Harkness again,’ he complained, revealing his Secret Santa even though he wasn’t supposed to, receiving a frown from Ianto who was still standing there with the small bowl of paper.
‘What’s wrong with that?’
‘He’s impossible to buy for, that’s what,’ Owen replied.
‘That’s not true. There’s loads of things he’d love.’
‘He hasn’t worn them once.’
Ianto frowned at him again. ‘You bought him rainbow braces with smiley faces all over them.’
‘Exactly! The man wears braces every bloody day and he hasn’t touched them. Not even for a bit of fun. I’m telling you Ianto, for all that smiley fakery, he’s got no sense of humour.’
‘Jack takes his wardrobe very seriously.’
‘He dresses like a bloke from a nineteen forties war film. It’s the twenty-first century. If he was serious, he’d dress like the rest of us and try to fit in. we’re supposed to be a secret organisation.’
Ianto smirked. ‘Big black SUV with flashing lights? I’m not sure Torchwood knows how to do “discreet”. Besides, it’s Jack. It’s who he is. His style.’
‘So, getting a Christmas jumper is probably a waste of money?’
