Challenge: 439 - Buff at tw100
Notes: A case of lost in translation has some interesting repercussions (a triple drabble).

Ianto's text message caught Jack a little off guard. He wasn't usually so forward, but then again, Jack was a very bad influence. Maybe some of that naughtiness had finally caught on. He had no issues with complying with Ianto's request. "Be buffed". He could do that.

Checking himself over in the mirror, he noticed that winter hadn't done him any favours. A whole lot of comfort food hadn't impacted his waistline, on account of his regenerative qualities which took care of that, but his skin was pale and lacking colour. When had they last had any kind of sunshine?

 

It didn't take much to set Jack's skin golden, but the last few months had seen nothing but rain and grey skies.

He stole an hour and hit the high street, treating himself to a mini spray tan. No sense disappointing Ianto after all.

When he finally finished up and headed home, he didn't hesitate in divesting his clothes as soon as he was in the door.

'Honey, I'm home!' he called.

Ianto came to greet him, and raised two eyebrows. 'I thought we'd have dinner first,' he said, trying to keep his voice level.

'Whatever suits you,' Jack grinned.

 

 

Ianto frowned. 'Where's the coffee?'

'What coffee?'

Ianto sighed. 'The coffee I told you to pick up on the way home! I specifically said don't forget to buy coffee.'

'When did you say that?'

'I texted you!' He pulled out his phone to show him the message. He paused, looking at the screen. 'Oh, well, that does explain a few things, then.'

The message read, "Don't forget to be buffed". Wretched predictive text. He couldn't very well be mad at Jack for his own stupidity.

'So, you meant to type coffee?' Jack asked.

'Yep. Not a bad consolation prize, though.'
