Title: Take a chance
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 369 - Awkward
Notes: Jack never thought it would be this hard

Jack watches Ianto begin to rummage through desk drawers. He's meant to be searching the roof but he's rooted to the spot. The silence is awkward as Ianto tries to ignore him.

'How are you Ianto?'

'All the better for having you back, sir.'

Jack feels wounded. Well, what did you expect him to say? You left without a word just when things were getting interesting. Maybe he's moved on, met someone else.

'While I was away, I was thinking. Maybe we could, when this is all done...'

How hard could it be to ask him out on a date?

Yes, even I was embarrassed during this scene!

I think it's sweet. After everything he's seen and done, trying to ask out someone you fancy still gets him all tongue tied.

One of my favourite scenes, Jack all nervous and fumbly, Ianto's adorable reaction... Lovely!
