Summary: Jack has jumped the gun and now has to suffer the consequences. A double drabble.

'Uh oh,' came the two syllables from Jack's mouth that Ianto wanted to hear least. 'Ianto!'

Ianto rolled his eyes as he wandered over to Jack with a deliberate slowness. 'I told you it was a bad idea to try and use that old kiddie pool to house our latest guest. Wait until we can get the proper equipment, I said. I can get a real tank ordered from a local aquarium supplier later this afternoon, I said. But no, you just had to go and raid the archives for whatever rubbish you could find. I told you it wouldn't be fit for purpose.' He could already see a puddle forming underneath the blue plastic.

'Just stick your finger in that hole,' Jack pleaded, unable to reach the spot where a small fountain of water was squirting out. His hands were already occupied covering up several more leaks whilst trying to simultaneously tape over them.

'Nothing ever ends well when you ask me to stick my finger in your hole,' Ianto replied.

'Oh, just shut up and stop being so right all the time!'

'Nope. Think I'll go find a small temporary tank until we can house our guest properly.'
