Summary: Ianto has found something Jack shouldn't have. A double drabble.

'Don't take it away, please!' Jack begged, scurrying after Ianto as he strode across the hub with the offensive item in hand. Jack knew Ianto wouldn't just throw it in the bin. That would be too easy for Jack to retrieve once his back was turned. Instead he knew Ianto was going to unscrew the lid of the jar and tip the contents down the sink.

Ianto made good on Jack's assumptions, tipping the jar upside down and letting the brown granules spill out in what felt to Jack like a horrific act of spitefulness. 'I've warned you about the consequences if I should find a jar of instant coffee around here. We do not drink this.' He flipped the mixer tap handle back and the steady stream of water put paid to the rust coloured remnants. The jar had been virtually new and hardly used, which only made it harder for Jack to watch it all disappear.

'Doesn't it say everything that I've become so completely dependent on you that I can't go without, not for even a single night?' Jack implored, hoping he could curry favour using flattery.

'Dependent on coffee, you mean.'

'Isn't that the same thing?'
