Title: Surprisingly good

Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 377 - Surprise
Notes: Just because I needed to write something. Turns out Jack has ulterior motives of the good kind.

The mug appearing on his desk was as much a surprise as the man standing next to it.

'This doesn't look like tea. Or smell like it,' Ianto commented.

'That's because it's not,' replied Jack.

'Please tell me you weren't messing around with my coffee machine.'

'Messing around implies I don't know what I'm doing.'

'Probably.'

'Just try it, please?'

Ianto looked at him skeptically and took a slow sip.

'Well, this is a surprise. It's not half bad.'

'See, all this time you thought I just wanted a snuggle when you made coffee. I was actually paying close attention.'

Clever Jack! Give him a gold star, he's been a very good student. So good, Ianto didn't even realise he was teaching him!

Who are you - and what have you done with Jack ?!?

Jack's not as silly as he looks. He knows that if he learns how to use the machine, it's much harder for Ianto to impose a coffee detention on him. Plus he can use it to curry favour with Ianto for other rewards.

It's amazing what you can learn from someone just by watching them carefully. And Jack's already got his eyes firmly fixed on Ianto so he might as well make the most of it! :)
