Title: Buying in bulk

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Challenge: 356 - Boxes
Notes: There seem to be too many boxes here...

Ianto's fortnightly delivery of supplies arrived as usual.

What was unusual was the number of boxes. Far more than seemed necessary for what he'd ordered.

He extracted the delivery docket and compared it to his original purchase order.

Halfway down the page he stopped, and checked again. Did he need glasses? Who would order five thousand metal pencil sharpeners?

'Jack? Know anything about this?'

'Oh,  good they're here. Remember that creature we found in Cathays last week? It seems to have a taste for them.'

Ianto raised an eyebrow.

'And you know this how?'

'Trust me. You don't wanna know.'

Ianto really shouldn't be surprised - after all, alien creatures are bound to have alien tastes...

I really would like to know how Jack discovered this creatures weakness for pencil sharpeners of the metal variety though, lol!

Me too. A story for another time when I can think of what he could have possibly been doing when he discovered that out! If he's not telling Ianto, it must be good.

Oh godd, Jack was indulging in his office fantasies with someone who wasn't Ianto - this is not going to go well for him.
