Summary: Ianto and Jack have different ideas of how to spend their free time. A double drabble.

Ianto toed his shoes and socks off as he leaned back in his chair. Setting his bare feet up on the desk was not the sort of luxury he usually afforded himself, but the tourist office sign read "closed", he had a bag of popcorn, fresh from the microwave, and his computer screen was now dedicated to Ian Fleming. Goldfinger was definitely his favourite, he decided.

'Who said you could have some free time?' Jack asked, poking his head through the side door just as Shirley Eaton was about to be discovered dead and painted in gold. He frowned at Ianto's feet crossed at the ankles on the desk.

Ianto paused the film, not wanting to be denied that infamous cinematic moment. 'Um, pretty sure you did when you said "Gwen, go have the afternoon off. You two have earned it".'

Jack appeared confused. 'Well, sure, I mean, you absolutely have earned it. I just thought that we might spend our free time together.'

'We can do that,' Ianto agreed. 'Pull up a chair,' he added as he pushed the bag of popcorn between them. 'You want me to start the film over?'

Jack looked strangely disappointed. 'No. That's fine.'

Oh Jack. I'm sure you'll get what you want later, after Ianto has enjoyed his movie and his popcorn.
