torchwood100Summary: Warm days in Cardiff don't please everyone. A double drabble.
There were times when Jack found his team absolutely exasperating. Considering that they were always moaning about it being cold, wet or windy – often a combination of all three – like it was an Olympic sport, they were just as bad when it was the complete opposite.
'Come on, guys,' Jack pleaded with them. 'It's a beautiful day!' The sun was out, burning bright and hot. Jack was enjoying the heat on his forearms as he rolled up his shirtsleeves to make the most of it. Days like this were a rarity. It was still a far cry from the dry desert heat that he'd grown up with on the Boeshane Peninsula, but just the feel of warm sun on his skin was like a natural energy boost.
'I hate when it's hot,' Owen moped, slipping on a pair of sunglasses.
'I feel like I need a shower,' Gwen added, pulling her t-shirt from the skin, flapping it and out.
'I think my PDA battery just melted,' Tosh replied.
'Don't be such stick-in-the-muds,' Jack chided. 'Ice-cream for everybody. My treat.'
Ianto pouted. 'Couldn't we have coffee? Ice-cream gives me a headache.'
Jack sighed. Honestly, there was just no pleasing some people!
