Summary: There are some things Owen can't immunise his teammates against. A double drabble.

'You're sniffling,' Owen said as he turned to make notes on his clipboard, not even bothering to look at his patient.

'Well, I'd have blown my nose except you stole my pants,' Ianto replied, 'and my handkerchief was in the pocket.'

Owen reached over and chucked the trousers back at his teammate. 'I'll just add that to your monthly check-up, shall I? Want to tell me how you got a runny nose?'

'Probably that weevil in Bute Park last night,' Ianto replied, redressing.

'What? Was it sniffling too?'

'No, but Jack wanted to celebrate afterwards and then we fell asleep on the back seat. I think we left the SUV’s door open, though. It was pretty cold when we woke up two hours later, and we weren't wearing very much.'

Owen groaned. 'How many times do I have to tell you? That man is a hazard to your health.'

Ianto rolled his eyes with a patience that defied their medic. 'He's a hazard to everybody's health, but if the worst that happens is I get a little sniffle, I don't think we're doing too badly. There's a lot around this place that's far more hazardous than one overly amorous boss.'

Ianto does have a point, and I think he mostly enjoys celebrating Jack-style.
