A/N: This one’s a double drabble.




Nothing spoke of romance more clearly than an intimate candlelit dinner for two at the best restaurant in the city. Jack had worked hard planning everything down to the last detail, wanting Ianto to have no reason to doubt how much he was loved and appreciated. It was to have been a wonderful evening, but as usual, Torchwood seemed determined to wreck it.


He and Ianto should’ve been on their way to dinner by now; instead here they were, wrestling an alien that looked like a tangled collection of hubcaps and wire coat hangers with a bad attitude.


“This is so not fair!” Jack gasped, throwing himself on top of the creature and getting poked in the eye for his trouble. “We’re supposed to be going out for dinner! It’s the most romantic night of the year!


“Can’t be helped,” Ianto grunted, trussing the creature up, turning it into a more easily portable bundle. “We should know by now not to make plans in advance. Something like this always happens.”


“Not this time it doesn’t!” Pulling out his phone, Jack called the restaurant to say they’d be an hour late. He’d wine and dine Ianto tonight if it killed him!

Jack is determined they will have their special nigh. he Probably made arrangements with the restaurant just in case of something like this.

And the Captain never breaks a promise ... or at least he tries, even more, when it is to Ianto!

[bk_forever]

Very true. Naturally, in this instance, Ianto would understand, but still Jack wants Ianto to have a romantic Valentine's Day dinner despite everything.

Thank you!

The rift hasn't yet learnt that the more you try and say no to Jack , the more stubborn he gets.

It's a battle of wills.

Thank you!
