Title: Bottled up
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 396 - Bottle
Notes: Jack is under no illusion that his teammate is okay

Jack watched as Ianto moved about the hub. No, not moved, prowled. That was what he was doing.

It had been a few months since the cyberwoman incident, and whilst they were far from best friends, at least some of the angst between them had dissipated.

Still, as he secretly watched, he could sense the tidal wave of emotions being bottled up inside the calm exterior. He needed to do something, before the young man became crushed underneath their weight.

Like any sufficiently strained dam wall, enough pressure and it would burst completely, drowning its victim in hopelessness and pain.

Ooh, ooh, I know! Take him and his teammates for an overnight jaunt to the countryside, that'll fix everything just peachy!

I recommend taking him to the firing range, letting him blast hell out of the targets for a while, then giving him a cuddle =)
