torchwood100Summary: Ianto has some pretty damning evidence on display. A double drabble.
Ianto winced at his reflection in the mirror as he angled his head sideways, revealing the red welt on the side, just underneath his chin. There was no way anyone was mistaking that for anything other than what it was. Jack had well and truly left his mark last night. He might have enjoyed it last night but now he was going to have to face the day with the tangible results on display.
‘Nice bite mark,’ Jack said, grinning and looking pleased as he stepped out of the shower and reaching across Ianto to grab his towel.
Ianto stepped aside to avoid being dripped on. ‘I am going to cop so much flack for this,’ he told Jack. Gwen would tease him endlessly, Owen would make snarky jokes about why he couldn't keep it in his pants, and Tosh would just give him dreamy looks, like she was jealous. ‘I should find some make-up to cover it.’ Even wearing a deep red shirt wasn't enough to distract from the obvious mark.
‘Why? If you were covered in bruises, you wouldn't bother.’
‘Bruises are an occupational hazard.’
‘So are love bites.’
Ianto sighed. ‘Yes, with you I suppose they are.’
