torchwood100Summary: An overnight storm has put Ianto in a foul mood. A double drabble.
‘I told you so,’ Ianto moaned, causing Jack to roll his eyes as they slowly descended the wooden steps to the quayside. ‘Just look at it!’
The storm overnight has been just as bad as the weatherman on Channel 4 had warned it would. The storm had caused tidal surges and the wind had whipped up a veritable mountain of beige coloured sea foam that was piled up over the quay, forcing them to navigate around the fluffy piles.
‘It’s going to have snuck in under the door,’ Ianto carried on complaining. ‘I’m going to have to spend the whole morning mopping out the tourist office and even then it’s going to smell manky for days.’
Jack scooped up some foam in his hand and gently blew so that it went floating through the air. It did smell bad but it was still kind of fun to muck around with. When life gave you lemons… ‘Do you want to build a foam-man?’ They had enough of the stuff to build a whole army of them, and it would get him out of some unpleasant paperwork.
‘No,’ Ianto replied. ‘I want a paid cleaner so I don’t have to do it.’
