Characters: Owen, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 619 - Handle at tw100
Notes: Ianto is sporting an injury that takes some explaining. A double drabble.

'Jesus,' Owen swore when he entered the hub. 'How did you get that shiner?' he asked, noticing that large purple bruise on Ianto's forehead, just above his eye.

'I'm fine,' Ianto insisted, already trying to swat away Owen's attentions.

'Uh, huh. And that's how I know to check you over. The more you insist you're okay, the more likely it is you've done something to crack your skull open from the inside out. Now sit.'

Ianto reluctantly complied as Owen snapped on bright purple gloves, pressing and feeling around it, causing him to wince with pain. 'Now, you going to tell me how it happened?'

'I ran into a door handle.'

Owen snorted. 'As lies go, that was bloody awful. Battered women in A and E say that when their loving boyfriends belt the living daylights out of them.'

'Jack would never,' Ianto began.

'So, just admit you whacked it falling off his desk whilst you two were in the throes of making love. Not like that's never happened before.'

'No, really, I ran into a door handle.'

'How? You're not exactly what I'd call clumsy.'

Ianto blushed. 'Naked kiss chasey in the dark is not a very smart idea.'
