Summary: Ianto is suffering from medically induced cabin fever. A double drabble.

Ianto ran his hands through his hair as he began pacing around the room.

'Sit down, Teaboy,' Owen demanded. 'You look like a lion prowling around in its cage.'

'When are you finalising those test results?' Ianto snapped, continuing to move from one end of the perspex screen to the other.

'I told you, it's another four hour wait to test all three samples. Or would you rather me give you a false positive?'

'I'd rather you gave me any fucking answer!' Ianto swore, growing more agitated by the second.

Owen stepped up to the screen. 'Listen, you need to get a grip and stop climbing the walls. Jack says the chances you actually contracted this thing are next to zero. All of this is just a precaution.'

'I need...' Ianto began, but wandering off midsentence. 'I've got stuff to organise. I've got papers... Insurance... My will... I need...'

'You need to relax, that's what you need.'

'I...' he stuttered even as Jack came striding towards the door, breaking the seal and locking himself inside, before wrapping Ianto up in a hug.

'I'm here.'

Owen groaned. 'You still need all those things or are you happy just having Jack now?'

At this point I think Jack will suffice. *pets poor Ianto*

He really does need a cuddle.
