Summary: Ianto isn't happy with Owen's treatment plan. A double drabble.

'Stop squirming,' Owen commanded, annoyed with his patient.

'I'm fine,' Ianto insisted, trying to do whatever he could to wriggle out of Owen's grasp, but he had an exceedingly strong grip on Ianto's forearm.

'Don't whinge to me, Teaboy. My orders come from above. If you've got a problem with them, you can go and tell it to Jack. God knows I don't get paid enough to listen to all the griping. He says you practically passed out so you're either low on sleep or low on hydration. Probably both.'

'Oh, so that explains why you've got me strapped down on this bed. I thought Jack must have convinced you to join us for some bondage.'

'Don't get cute with me. Your little comedic quips won't save you.'

Ianto felt the needle scratch the inside of his arm for what felt like the tenth time. 'Ow!' He pulled his arm away fully this time. 'Did I get a free acupuncture session as well? I would have preferred a massage.'

Owen snatched back his arm. 'I'm trying to find the bloody vein but your vascular system is as stubborn as the rest of you.'

'How about I just drink some water?'

Maybe Jack should come down and make Ianto stay put.
