Notes: Jack comes home to an unexpected sight. A double drabble.

Jack came to a dead stop in the doorway, almost dropping his keys. 'What on earth?' he muttered, taking in the sight. There were clothes littered all over the floor and the furniture, empty bowls or plates still with half eaten pieces of toast on them. Every other spare inch of space was occupied with balled up tissues or blankets. All except for the sofa where there was one indistinct lump hidden underneath a mound of duvet.

He stepped over, avoiding getting his feet tangled in a sweater and pulled back the top corner of the duvet.

'Ianto, our house looks like a war zone.' He brushed a hand over Ianto's forehead, still warm after three days. Even at his worst, he'd never not cleaned up after himself. Jack chastised himself for going to London in the first place and leaving Ianto here alone.

'I thought your sister was going to come keep an eye on you and look after things.' If she hadn't, he was going to read her the riot act. Ianto was forever doing her favours.

'She was,' came the muffled reply, 'until she got sick.'

'Great. Looks like I've now got two houses to clean up.'

Hopefully Johnny and the kids did their part looking after Rhiannon. Then all Jack will have to do is clean up and look after Ianto. Poor duvet covered lump.
