Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 468 - Faint/Feint at tw100
Notes: Ianto has put in extra effort this week. A double drabble.

Ianto wiped the sweat from his brow, staring at Jack who was grinning, but not even out of puff yet. He must have been at least ten years Ianto's senior, but showed no signs of weariness. The two mile circuit of the hubs lower halls was as decent a run as he'd had.

'Ready for some hand to hand training?' Jack asked.

He always did that. Made Ianto run like the clappers, then expected him to have enough energy left for more.

'Do I get a choice?'

Jack lunged unexpectedly, and Ianto only just dodged out of the way.

'I'll take that as a no.'

Jack and went in for another go and found himself grappling air, turning to find Ianto gone again.

He growled, amused that his quarry had gotten lucky. He feinted left, then right, but Ianto evaded him on both counts.

'You've been practising,' Jack said.

'I got tired of you landing me on my arse.'

Fun as Jack might have found this, there was only so much physical humiliation Ianto could suffer. He knew Jack was trying to prepare him, but this was a matter of pride.

'I'll stop going easy, then.'

'Bring it on, sir.'
