torchwood100Summary: Ianto isn't happy with Jack's latest news. A double drabble.
‘Where've you been?’ Ianto asked, watching Jack attempt to sneak back into the hub.
‘I was out. It took me longer to get back than I expected.’
‘Did the mayor give you a hard time again?’
‘No. I put her in her place, but, ah…v
Ianto's eyes immediately narrowed at the tone. ‘What?’
‘I sort of… crashed the SUV on the way back.’
Ianto set his hands on his hips. ‘Three days, Jack. The car has been back from the repair shop for three days and you've already gone and crashed it?’
‘I know, I know but it was–’
‘An emergency?’ Ianto offered. ‘When is it ever not an emergency?’ He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. ‘How bad is it?’
‘It's just a little dented. This weevil was on loose and I was chasing it, and there was this little old lady with her walking frame. She just came outta nowhere and so I swung the wheel to avoid her and… well, there's a house on Llanbradach Street that no longer has a brick fence.’
Ianto sighed again. ‘I suppose for the sake of a little old lady I'm going to have to forgive you, aren't I?’
