Summary: Jack thinks Ianto is being a little oversensitive. A double drabble.

'Have you fed that farknargle yet?' Jack asked, poking his head out the door where Gwen and Ianto were both hard at work at their desks.

'Ianto?' He noticed that Ianto seemed to be ignoring his question and being purposefully evasive. That in itself was strange. Ianto was usually three steps ahead of Jack. He expected to be told he'd done it already and why didn't Jack just trust him to do his job?

'Ianto...'

He slammed down a pen on the desk. 'I can't do it. I'm sorry.'

Jack raised two eyebrows, looking first at Gwen who made a point of raising her hands, not wanting to get involved. 'Is there a problem?'

'It's the eyes,' Ianto replied. 'I've dealt with a lot of aliens but that thing has got me completely freaked out.'

Jack shrugged. 'So, it's got a few eyes. What's the big deal?'

'Eighty six,' Ianto said. 'I counted them. And every last one of them stared at me the entire time I was down there. I swear it could see right into my soul. How would you like to be ogled like that, huh?'

'Ianto, I ogle you like that every day. Get over it.'

Yes, but Jack, you only ogle with two eyes, not eighty-six. It makes a difference.
