Challenge: 427 - Bow
Notes: Christmas means different things to different people

Ianto had spent ages getting the fine gold wrapping just right, and the large red bow on top tied into a perfect bow. Wrapping presents at Christmas was one of his favourite tasks.

Placing it under the tree, it looked almost too good to unwrap.

The next morning however, there was no hesitation from Jack as he rifled under the tree, quickly spying the tag with his name on it. He grabbed it, tearing at the wrappings like a hoix would tear an animal carcass, in hungry desperation.

Seeing his hard work undone in seconds, Ianto wondered why he bothered.

There are two kinds of people: Those who rip their gifts open, and those who unwrap them carefully. Ianto and I are in the latter category. I'd wallop Jack and tell him to at least take a moment to appreciate the effort that went into wrapping his gift first!

Jack appreciates the effort, but he prefers the gift inside. And Ianto knows he'll tear the paper anyway. Neither of them can help being who they are. I'm definitely the careful unwrapper too.
