Title: A colour for all seasons
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 432 - Tone
Notes: A double drabble in which Jack and Ianto go shopping

'Oh, I like that,' Jack said, admiring the pale mauve shirt Ianto was holding up, 'very sexy. Here, I think this tie would go nicely.'

'I think you're right,' he replied, admiring the royal purple before handing it to the shop  assistant. Shopping with Jack was actually quite fun.

He rifled through the rack pausing over various shades, pulling one out.

'Peach?' he asked.

'Nope, you don't have the right skin tone to pull that off. What about grey?'

Ianto scrunched his nose. 'I think I've gone off grey. It's too monotone and boring.'

'Well, we can't have that,' Jack grinned. 'There's always red,' he added, fingering a scarlet sleeve.

'Jack, even at the rate I go through shirts, I own more red than any other colour.'

He shrugged. 'Just saying.'

'You could try deviating from blue.'

'I have green,' he argued.

'It's aqua, which is half blue.'

'Well, I like blue.'

'You like not changing.'

'Ianto, ask yourself, would you really want to see me wearing pink? What about my street cred?'

Ianto laughed. 'Since when are you worried about street cred?'

'I need to look dashing and authoritative.'

'You could manage that without any clothes on at all.'

Ianto! Don't encourage him! You know what he's like, he'll be prancing around Cardiff in the nude if you're not careful, and then who do you think will have to bail him out every time he gets arrested? Just be quiet and have another red shirt or two. Or stripes maybe, stripes can be very flattering. ;)
