Summary: Jack is worried he's losing his film star good looks. A double drabble.
'Ianto! I found another grey hair!' Jack yelled out, holding on to the offending strand and keeping his eye fixed on it in the mirror lest it think about trying to escape back into the forest of brown.
'It's not the end of the world,' Ianto replied, coming to stand in the bathroom doorway. 'How old are you? Eight thousand?'
'Seven thousand nine hundred and eighty six, thank you very much,' Jack retorted.
'So, you have the odd grey hair here and there,' Ianto said, watching as Jack tugged it out and held it up for his inspection. 'I started going grey at twenty five.'
'Yeah, and you stopped going grey at age thirty,' Jack said, scowling and running his hand through his hair, looking for more.
Ianto smirked at him. 'Some of us just handle immortality better than others. Besides, you had ten years on me.'
'It's not fair,' Jack moaned. 'I get to live forever but I'm still going to go grey? The TARDIS has a lot to answer for.'
Ianto wrapped his arm around Jack's waist, trapping Jack's own arms at his sides so he'd stopped fussing. 'I'll still love you even if you're old and grey.'
