Summary: There's some new starter hazing going on. A triple drabble.
Jack had long ago become accustomed to seeing weird and wonderful things in his particular line of work. What he hadn’t gotten accustomed to were the completely unexpected antics of his team, who seemed to forever be surprising him.
This morning as he came in after some early errands, he was caught off guard by the sight of his newest employee standing in the middle of the medical bay, in nothing but his underwear, which were a deep shade of burgundy, and tighter than Jack had imagined them, which in itself was rather appealing.
‘Nice pants,’ Jack remarked, which made Ianto’s face flush a similar shade, and he automatically covered his modesty with his hands for all the difference it would make. Jack had already seen everything there was to see and it was, in his opinion, a very nice way to start the workday. Perhaps he could get naked Tuesdays to be a regular thing.
Ianto cleared his throat. ‘Ah, Owen said that I needed to be subjected to a full medical this morning,’ he explained. ‘Standard protocol, I assume. He’s just gone to fetch some extra equipment before we get underway.’
Jack continued to leer, enjoying those abs and wondering if he worked out. He continued wondering if he could somehow get Ianto to turn around so that he could check out the rear action as well. ‘Oh, yeah,’ Jack replied, before remembering he was supposed to keep things at least modestly professional. ‘But you could have kept your trousers on. I don’t think a full blood work up requires you to get naked. At least not any doctor I’ve ever visited.’
‘But…’ Ianto sputtered. ‘He told me to take them off!’
Jack laughed uproariously. ‘Oh, Ianto Jones. Owen was just rattling your cage.’
‘Little bastard,’ Ianto grumbled.
