Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto has a cold.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Song title = drabble title. It’s just easier that way.
A loud sneeze echoed around Jack’s office.
“Bless you.”
“Thag you,” Ianto replied with what little dignity he could muster.
Jack tried not to laugh.
Ianto’s cold was the result of an unplanned swim in the Taff, courtesy of a rampaging Hoix. Being a strong swimmer, he’d hauled himself out easily enough, but the chill water and even chillier wind had combined to lower his defences. Now here he sat, bundled in a duvet on Jack’s couch, with a nose that resembled Rudolph’s in all its scarlet glory.
Jack was staring intently at it.
“What?”
“Your nose matches your shirt.”
The End

Date: 2013-08-19 06:45 pm (UTC)I once lost my voice for six weeks, couldn't do more than emit an occasional squeak. Very frustrating. Hope you managed the presentation despite your voicelessness.

Date: 2013-08-19 09:17 pm (UTC)As someone else said, Ianto the red nosed teaboy has a very shiny nose. Jack will him him better though.
Thank you.
