Characters: Ianto, Johnny
Rating: PG
Challenge: 624 - Alarm at tw100
Notes: Ianto should have trusted his gut and his intimate knowledge of childhood grifters. A double drabble.

Ianto gritted his teeth as Johnny wrapped him one of his rugby tackles of a hug. He really hated them because they represented everything that Ianto wasn't - one of the lads, addicted to watching sports and just generally blokey.

Moreover, whilst he was contemplating what other awkwardness Johnny and his family could inflict, there was a sound that he was trying hard to ignore.

Car alarms in this part of town weren't unusual. Kids on the estate would knock off anything that wasn't nailed down, and were often hooning around in cars that weren't theirs. It was just that this particular car alarm sounded an awful lot like the one fitted to the SUV. But that was silly. The SUV had a triple deadlock. Just let one of those scruffy no-hopers try it. If there was one car they wouldn't be getting their paws on, it was his.

Johnny bluntly commented on his supposed sexuality - so much for Rhi keeping it a secret - but mercifully moved on quickly. 'That you, the big black thing?'

Ianto beamed with pride. 'Company car.' Still the alarm was blaring.

'Aye, sounds like it.'

The bottom fell out of his stomach. 'No, it couldn't be.'
