Challenge: 608 - Event at tw100
Notes: Jack is sometimes guilty of living vicariously through his team. A double drabble.

Jack peered curiously over the top of his coffee mug at his companion. Ianto had been sitting opposite him across the desk with such an air of placid nonchalance that Jack just knew he was hiding some juicy gossip.

'So, come on. Spill,' Jack demanded.

Ianto quirked an eye at him. 'Spill what?'

'Dinner with your family last night.'

Ianto set his mug down on the desk. 'How could you possibly know I had dinner at my sister's? Are you following me now? Tracker in my phone?'

Jack smirked at him. 'No need for any of that.'

'Then how?' Ianto demanded to know.

'Because every time you get an invite over to tea you spend the whole week beforehand in a grump and become obsessive about cleaning everything within an inch of its life.'  

'I do no-' he paused, realising that was exactly what he did. 'She pushes my buttons. You'd get worked up too if you knew that was coming.'

'So?' Just because he wasn't allowed to go meet them didn't mean he didn't relish a blow by blow account.

'So nothing. It was a complete non-event. We ate, watched TV, put the kids to bed.'

Jack groaned. 'Boring!'
