Drabble: Hypnotic

Title: Hypnotic
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, OMC.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 553: Wobble at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto prides himself on having good manners, but even he has his limits.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.




Ianto knew he shouldn’t be staring, he didn’t want their visitor to think him rude, but it was hypnotic; he couldn’t look away. The general’s pendulous jowls wobbled rhythmically with every word he spoke and although Ianto usually prided himself on having excellent manners regardless of circumstances, for once he found himself struggling to focus on what was being said.


“Young man, are you paying attention?”


“Of course, General Wob… Wombwell.” Ianto felt his ears turning pink with embarrassment. “Perhaps I might offer you some refreshment; coffee, or tea if you prefer.” He had to escape before he started laughing.

Poor Ianto was almost strangling himself trying not to laugh. When he returns with the drinks, he'll make a point not to look at the General, he'll pay attention to taking notes and looking at paperwork instead.

Thank you!

That can be a really difficult situation. Just goes to prove how kind and well mannered Ianto is.He would hate to have the general think hr was laughing at him

Especially as I think he actually quite likes General Wobble...

Thank you!
