Summary: Jack is looking for something specific in Ianto's wardrobe. A triple drabble.
Ianto was surprised to find Jack pawing through his bedroom wardrobe as he stepped from the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel. ‘Did you lose a contact lense?’ he teased, catching Jack in some act of spying.
Jack wasn't the least bit contrite at having been caught in the act. ‘I was just checking out your wardrobe,’ Jack replied. ‘I noticed it seemed to be missing something.’
‘Like what?’ Ianto asked, curious. He imagined Jack was about to say something kinky like tight leather pants or a mesh vest or some other kind of bondage style fashion accessory.
‘Where's all that grungy gear you used to wear? You know, all the ripped jeans, studded belts and those long heavy chains around your neck.’
‘That I used to wear?’ Ianto asked.
‘Yeah,’ Jack said, ‘like that first time we met. Haven't seen you wear it since.’
‘Oh,’ Ianto said, ‘that's not my normal attire.’
‘Really?’ Jack asked, raising an eyebrow.
‘I only wore that stuff to…’ Ianto paused and Jack watched the pink blush fill his cheeks.
Jack couldn't help but grin. He knew where this was going. ‘Oh?’ Jack asked. ‘You only wore that to what? Get my attention?’
‘Something like that,’ he replied.
‘That I'd find all that punk rocker, bad boy look, kinky? Dressing up to try and get into my pants, Mr Jones?’
‘I never intended that,’ he said, frowning even as the blush in his cheeks grew redder. ‘I wasn’t sure that the whole suit thing was your speed,’ he replied. Of course he knew better now. Jack couldn't get enough of his suits and ties.
‘Well, just for the record,’ Jack said, ‘I thought punk-rocker Ianto was quite cute. Maybe we could get those chains out again one night, hey?’
‘How about no,’ Ianto replied.
