Summary: Ianto wishes Jack would keep his lead-footed tendencies to emergencies only. A double drabble.

Ianto gripped the seatbelt and tugged it a little tighter. To be fair, any tighter and he wasn't going to be able to breathe soon, which was precisely the sort of life ending scenario he was trying hard to avoid.

'Do you think perhaps you could go a little slower?' It seemed a fruitless question but he asked it anyway. There was always a chance Jack might notice just how white he was, especially after that last corner where he was certain the tyres on the right hand side of the SUV had actually left the ground, making the SUV at least half airborne.

'Slower?' Jack said the word like he'd never had occasion to use it. 'I'm not even going fast now.' The light fifty yards in front of them was already amber, but Jack just pressed the pedal harder, slipping the vehicle right through the red.

'I'm just saying perhaps the local chippie won't run out of cod before we get there.'

Jack chuckled, eyes lit up with delight at the breakneck speed. 'Probably not, Ianto, but where's the fun in going slow when you can go fast?'

Ianto squeezed his eyes shut. 'I couldn't begin to imagine.'

One day, Ianto, you'll get used to Jack's driving.
