torchwood100Summary: Ianto knows his job is dangerous, but danger is all relative. A double drabble.
Doctor Larson was helping Ianto with the bandage around his arm. He managed to get his jacket and shirt off on his own, and to flush out the wound, but it was going to take two pairs of hands to wind the length of bandage, and right now he only had one.
‘You’re lucky he only winged you,’ Doctor Larson said in a slightly disapproving tone. ‘I saw someone come in here stabbed in the eye with a kebab skewer.’ She paused and grimaced. ‘All the way through the eyeball. Must have missed brain tissue by millimetres.’
‘Trust me, I’ve had worse,’ Ianto replied as the adrenaline wore off and the pain from the bullet wound finally began to kick in.
‘You’ve had worse than Jack trying to shoot you?’ She frowned at him. ‘Look, I know we’ve only just met, really, but do you think maybe Torchwood isn’t a bit dangerous?’
Ianto barked out a laugh. ‘A virus that makes you want to kill the person you love most? That’s practically a dull day for us. Mind you, it helps if you both don’t end up also infected. It's bad enough when we argue and the guns come out!’
