Challenge: 625 - Dash/dashed at tw100
Notes: Dashing after Ianto is hard work. A double drabble.

Jack leaned forward on his knees trying to suck in the air his lungs so desperately needed. It was like the atmosphere had completely evaporated despite his attempts to draw in giant breaths.

'Don’t tell me you’re out of puff,' Ianto said, pulling up beside him. Jack resented that he could stand there so calmly, not having even broken a sweat let alone sounding like he needed to catch his breath. 'What happened to Captain Immortal? It was only a short dash.'

'Short?' Jack managed to say between ragged breaths. 'It was three miles!' He sank to his knees and then rolled over on his back, savouring the cool sensation of their front lawn and the way his head spun a little less now that his heart wasn’t trying pump blood vertically up to it.

'Yeah, and it would have been five miles like every other morning except that you kept slowing me down. If I’d know you were this unfit I’d have dragged you out of bed every morning to join me on my run.'

Hell no, Jack thought. Running was reserved for saving you skin. 'Next time I get to choose.'

'Sex is not exercise.'

'You wanna bet?'

It may not be exercise exactly, but I'm sure Ianto would enjoy it.
