Title: Lazy Day
Author:

Characters: Owen, Ianto, Jack, Gwen, Tosh, Myfanwy.
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: There’s nothing to do, so the team have a lazy day.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For
kul_breez’s prompt ‘lazy day - Torchwood style’. This one’s a double drabble.
For the first time in living memory, team Torchwood had absolutely nothing to do.
All their paperwork was finished, all the filing done; cataloguing was up to date… There wasn’t even a corpse for Owen to dissect or one of Tosh’s programmes needing work.
“Now what?” asked Owen, throwing himself down on the sofa.
“Now we have a lazy day.” Ianto’s voice drifted up from where he lay on the floor, legs on the sofa, watching Myfanwy lazily circle the Hub on an updraft.
“Doing what?” Owen grumbled.
“Anything,” Jack replied, lying down beside Ianto. “Or possibly nothing at all.”
~~~~~~~~~
“Doing nothing suits me just fine.” Gwen flopped down beside Jack. “Been run off my feet planning the wedding. It’ll be nice doing nothing for a change.” She stared up at Myfanwy with a happy sigh.
Stretching herself out on the floor to Ianto’s other side, Tosh let out a huge yawn, setting everyone else off.
“I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed,” she admitted.
“You lot are weird,” Owen muttered, sliding off the sofa to lay down with them. “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”
Watching them from above, Myfanwy sighed. She’d never understand humans.
The End

Date: 2013-12-12 09:22 pm (UTC)The moment I saw the prompt I got the image in my head of Ianto laying on ther floor with his legs on the sofa, being as lazy as possible. The others seemerd to like the idea so they decided they'd join him. Myf is just confused, poor thing. Everytime she thinks she has them figured out, they do something odd.
(I've done another of your prompts, but I'm not telling you which, you'll have to wait and see!)
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-22 09:34 pm (UTC)I'm open to more prompts, any time. I never know what will inspire me and I'm saving those I don't use for later. That way, I can write extra drabbles to post in between challenges, and some might even become actual fics. They mean I can always find something to write, even if I can't come up with an idea myself.
Glad you're enjoying the Christmas drabbles. I'm stuck on Day Twelve though - I have no idea what I can do with 12 Drummers dumming...
I think I only need to post 7 more drabbles to reach 200 in a year - I'll try for 250 next year!

Date: 2013-12-14 04:04 pm (UTC)Torchwood don't get such lazy days often, which I suppose is why Ianto has to demonstrate the proper way of enjoying them! LOL! He does know everything, after all.
Thank you!
