Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: The chase is on… or is it?
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Jack was buying breakfast when he spotted a familiar figure running through the nearby park. Abandoning his plans, he set off in pursuit, ready to lend whatever assistance was needed, finally catching up when Ianto slowed to a stop.
“I don’t see anything. What happened, did we lose it?”
Ianto looked puzzled.
“Lose what?”
“Whatever it was you were chasing.”
“I wasn’t chasing anything.”
“But you were running.”
“It’s called jogging, Jack. I do it to keep fit.”
“Oh. Well, I can think of a better way to get all sweaty.”
Ianto rolled his eyes, smirking.
“Of course you can.”
The End

Date: 2013-08-09 10:53 pm (UTC)Ianto, running: Must be some kind of trouble! Jack travelled with the Doctor for long enough that it's an ingrained response!
Thank you.

Date: 2013-08-10 11:08 am (UTC)He travelled with the Doctor, he got used to the concept of running because either a) you were being chased or b) you were chasing something. There was nothing behind Ianto, so logically that meant the reason for Ianto running must be ahead of him. Running for excercise or for fun is completely foreign to poor Jack.

Date: 2013-08-10 04:19 pm (UTC)Jack is permanently fit due to always reverting back to that state when he gets wounded or dies--I guess he forgets we mere mortals have to work for it.
no subject
Date: 2013-08-10 04:29 pm (UTC)True, Jack has a very unfair advantage. Does he think Ianto looks that toned naturally? Still, I think Ianto appreciates it that Jack was willing to help him catch whatever he was chasing. you know, if he HAD actually been chasing anything, lol!
Thank you.

Date: 2013-08-11 11:38 pm (UTC)Of course Jack would prefer "horizontal jogging" as a way of keeping fit! Lol.
Although the thought of Ianto working out is quite yummy.... :-)
no subject
Date: 2013-08-12 12:18 pm (UTC)Yep and I'm sure Jack will do his best to persuade Ianto to 'excercise' some more when they get back to the Hub.
I wanna see Ianto lifting weights =)
Thank you!

Date: 2013-08-12 12:29 pm (UTC)The thought of ianto lifting weights is much more interesting than my spreadsheet...
Hope I wasn't drooling too much!
no subject
Date: 2013-08-12 12:55 pm (UTC)Rippling, yet lean muscles, lightly sheened with sweat that dampens the curls of his chest hair, jogging pants slung low on his hips, bare feet...
The vision is definitely drool-worthy!

(My computer keeps making weird noises. I keep forgetting I have a Kitty-cam live feed running. So cute.)

Date: 2013-08-12 04:38 pm (UTC)Hope your email and LJ are behaving themselves better now.
My day wasn't too bad but is better now I've finished work.
I'm off to the gym now, but unfortunately I can guarantee there won't be anyone even half as hot as ianto there working out. Shame. That image kept me going all afternoon :-)
Then I'm going to go home, read your fic and hopefully write and post another of my own :-)

Date: 2013-08-12 04:46 pm (UTC)He's managed to distract me from my writing, and I'm WRITING Ianto-fic. He's just not sweaty and half-naked in my fic..... Hmmmm *thinks* It's tempting, but no, it won't fit with what I'm writing, lol!
Things seem to be cooperating now. Well, except for my brain.

Date: 2013-08-15 02:31 pm (UTC)I think Jack needs to get clued in - or Ianto needs to give up jogging in favour of spending more time enjoying Jack's favourite excercise!
