Summary: Jack will never complain about Ianto's slow driving ever again. A double drabble.

'Slow down,' Jack complained.

'Slow down?' Ianto cried. 'Normally you're telling me to stop driving so bloody slowly!'

'I know!' Jack replied, gripping the edge of the window, as if that was going to make a difference.

The SUV rounded a sharp bend and the interior of the car seemed to defy the laws of gravity for a few seconds. Jack had been on fairground rides a lot tamer than this and they were meant to thrill and spill. Ianto's driving was on a whole other level. Jack liked living on the edge but this was insane!

'It's going to get away if we don't keep pace with it,' referring to the hovercraft that was dodging cars in its way and simply leapfrogging ones that didn't. 'They drive worse than you!' Ianto remarked.

'You can talk!' Jack yelled, feeling slightly nauseous as they slipped by an eighteen-wheeler with barely an inch to spare. 'I'm almost prepared to let them run away to massacre another day.'

'No, you're not.' He gave Jack a look that said there was still at least one more gear he hadn't reached yet. 'Just hang on tight. I promise it's less terrifying if you don't scream.'

Jack shouldn't complain — Ianto learned to drive from him!
