drabble_zone Summary: Jack isn't enjoying Ianto's defensive driving. A double drabble.
Jack could feel his grey matter bouncing around inside his skull as the SUV bumped along the road. 'You're gonna rattle the fillings right out of my mouth,' he complained to Ianto.
'You don't have any fillings,' Ianto replied, not for a moment taking his foot off the accelerator. On another day, Jack would have been proud of Ianto's defensive driving skills, driving the SUV more like how he drove it, and not that patient, cautious manner he usually handled it.
'You're sure this is the fastest route?' Jack asked again.
'I know every road in and out of Cardiff,' Ianto replied, repeating what Jack already knew to be true.
'Did you also happen to know that they'd ripped it up and planned on resurfacing it?' It was barely gravel and even the SUV was having a brutal time of it.
'Not until we passed that "Road closed for works" sign about half a mile back. Didn't seem to bother the aliens we're chasing, did it?'
Jack's stomach lurched as he realised he'd created a monster. He clenched his teeth together. Jack normally enjoyed a bit of rough and tumble but with Ianto at the wheel he was seriously reconsidering.
