Challenge: 459 - Flexible at tw100
Notes: Stubborness is contagious

'You're insane,' Jack said, lifting his eyes up from the list. 'Who in their right mind is going to follow this?'

Ianto huffed. 'You left me in charge of the archives. I think I'm entitled to a few basic rules about how we, and when I say we, I mean you lot, access and return items.'

Jack dropped the list on his desk. 'We save the world from aliens and other stuff that comes through the rift. We don't have time for you being totally inflexible about trivial stuff like this.'

'Trivial?' Ianto repeated, his eyebrows raised and arms folded.

Oops, Jack thought. He'd gone and shoved his colossally big boot into his mouth again.

He cringed. 'Did I say trivial? I meant very important.'

Ianto let out a vexed breath, not believing Jack for even a second. It was the inflexible part that had really annoyed him. Jack was the most stubborn person he'd ever met.

'You have rules for everything else. Why should this be any different?'

'It just is, Ianto.'

'Fine,' he said. 'Just don't come crying to me when the one thing you need to save the world is missing because someone didn't return it properly.'

Ianto is, of course, right in this matter. He must be because he's always right and he knows everything. Clearly Jack hasn't read the memo ;)

I think the problem is that Jack read the memo and didn't like what it said. Ianto will wear him down with logic as always.
