torchwood100Summary: Jack's heroics have backfired somewhate. A double drabble.
‘Ow!’ Jack complained, hissing and tugging his hand away even as Ianto was doing everything possible to hold it steady.
‘Hold still and don't be such a siss,’ he replied, pulling Jack's hand back and dabbing it once more with the strongest dilution of disinfectant he could safely use.
‘It bit my hand off!’
Okay, so perhaps it was a bit harsh telling Jack not to be a baby. The weevil hadn't just taken a bite out of his hand, but had just about ripped it clean off. As it was the hand had mostly reattached itself to his wrist but it was still pretty gruesome looking. It might heal fine on its own, but it never hurt to speed along the process with a little first aid. Besides, who knew what kind of diseases were in weevil saliva?
‘Next time perhaps don't offer yourself up as an alternative source of food,’ Ianto replied.
‘It was coming after you,’ Jack said.
‘I'm well aware. I also had a stun gun in one hand and a can of weevil spray in the other.’ The altercation with Ianto was going to be unpleasant, either way. ‘More affirmative action, less heroics,’ he added.
