Rating: PG
Challenge: 466 - Tongue at tw100
Notes: Jack is unexpectedly surprised by something he's always taken for granted. A double drabble.

Jack took hold of the mug thrust in his face, eyeing it with suspicion. It could be drugged, but he didn't think so. Ianto Jones didn't seem the type, - not from what he'd read in his file - and even if it was, it wasn't as if it'd kill him. Not permanently.

He only caught the faintest whiff, before sipping, as the breezy morning air stole the aroma away. It was his tongue that was assaulted by the taste. His whole mouth was having a party. Wow, that was... well, not like any coffee he'd ever had.

He wanted more but pushed it back, keeping his expression neutral. This kid clearly knew how good the coffee was. Jack didn't want to give him the satisfaction. It didn't matter how good the coffee was, how attractive the young man was - those tight fitting street clothes were delicious - nor his tenacity - perhaps bravery - in throwing himself at a weevil and then turning up the next morning as if nothing had happened. Jack wasn't hiring, and that was the end of it. Especially not anyone from Torchwood One.

'Same time tomorrow, then?' Ianto asked, sounding hopeful.

Only if you bring more coffee,Jack thought.
