Summary: Ianto will never complain about a little rain ever again. A double drabble.

Thump.

Ianto sighed.

Thump, thump.

He gripped his umbrella a little firmer, bracing for the next impact..

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!

'Oh, for heaven's sakes!' he cried, bending his knees as the onslaught threatened to crush him under the paltry thin protection above him. 'Why does this always happen to us?' He supposed at least there was no pasta sauce to accompany the rain of meatballs. That would be all he needed, having them splatter in puddles of passata and flicking their red spots all over his nice white shirt.

'Mamma Mia! Itsa raining spaghetti!' Jack teased, grinning like a kid at Christmas under his own umbrella.

Ianto groaned again. This was more than cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Another round of retcon in the local water supply. God, but he was getting sick of having to retcon the entire city and wipe out every last photo and video stored in the cloud.

'I expect the weatherman to get it mostly wrong, but surely the rift predictor could give us a bit more warning!' He stared glumly at the broken up little bits of meat all over the Plass. It was going to stink out here for weeks.

Maybe Cardiff's rats, pigeons, seagulls, stray cats, foxes, and Weevils will take care of the meatball mess.
