Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 519 - Automatic at tw100
Notes: Jack isn't overly enthused by his latest demotion. A double drabble.

'Can I have a moment, sir?' Jack said, forcing the words out, hoping his face didn't give away his displeasure.

'Of course,' Ianto replied, smiling pleasantly, leading them away from the CERN delegation. 'If you'll excuse me a moment.'

'Of course, Mr Ambassador.'

'Won't be a moment, darling,' he added to Gwen.

Jack didn't wait for Ianto to ask him what was wrong. 'Assistant?'

Ianto rolled his eyes. 'Martha made the arrangements.'

'But,' Jack stammered.

'But you automatically assumed any cover story would have you in charge,' Ianto finished for him.

'Well, I mean it just makes sense.'

Ianto gave his lover a patient look. 'Think about it Jack. Gwen and I will be given the full tour. They'll show us only what they want us to see. You on the other hand are free to poke around whilst we're wined and dined.'

Oh. He hadn't thought of it that way. 'Well, I suppose...'

Ianto smiled at him. 'Mr Ambassador. I quite like that. Perhaps you and I could play international delegates. You like dominant submissive games.'

Jack gave a naughty chuckle. 'Maybe later. First we have to find out where Martha's friend and those other scientists have disappeared to.'

Trust Ianto to know exactly what to say to make Jack happier with the role he's playing. They can try the other kind of role play later.

He's just so used to being the centre of attention that he doesn't realise what a boon it is to be inconspicuous. :)
