Summary: Ianto is worried Jack will run out of air. A double drabble.

'You look worried,' Jack observed as Ianto was fiddling with the oxygen tank, making sure Jack had the correct mix for his planned dive. All Jack was worried about was whether Ianto thought he looked sexy in his skin-tight wetsuit. Being ignored was such a waste.

'Are you sure about this?'

'He knows what he's doing!' Gwen snapped, her patience wearing thin at Ianto's overt delaying tactics. You do know what you're doing, don't you? she added in a voice only Jack could hear.

He waved off his team's anxiety. It's just a Kerranian with a busted spaceship. A few hours down there to patch it up and it'll be on its way. The giant alien octopus creature was eager to get going as soon as its ship was fixed. Not even time for a game of twister, Jack thought ruefully.

'You've got a full two hours of oxygen,' Ianto declared. 'If there's any trouble, you pull on that cord.' Jack didn't doubt he'd watch that cord like a hawk.

'Relax, Ianto. The Bristol Channel isn't that deep. I'll only need forty minutes there and back.' Ianto of all people should know how well Jack could hold his breath.

Just as long as Jack doesn't do anything silly. Ianto doesn't want to have to go fishing for him.
