Characters: Gwen, Owen, Jack, Ianto
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: The team are decorating the Hub for Christmas.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This one’s for milady_dragon’s prompt ‘The Hub is decorated for the holidays’.
A/N2: I have several other Christmas-themed drabbles that I want to post before Christmas day, so I'm interspersing them with 'The Twelve Days of Riftmas' whenever I can manage to post twice in a day.
“Deck the Hub with boughs of holly,” Gwen sang, completely off-key, as she strung tinsel around the catwalk railings.
“Not holly though, is it,” commented Owen.
“Shut up, grinch.”
“What if I don’t? You gonna decorate me?”
Jack poked his head out of his office.
“Children, behave! Some of us are trying to work!” And he vanished again.
“He’s trying to put the fake Christmas tree together,” Ianto smirked. “Last time I checked, he had the branches on upside down.”
“Aren’t you going to help him?”
“I will when he’s frustrated enough to make it worth my while,” Ianto winked.

There should be a Ianto agency where you can rent a Ianto whenever you need one.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-20 11:32 pm (UTC)It's amazing how many people put the branches on upside down. I don't get it. My boyfriend did that, years ago when he tried to help me but I couldn't for the life of me see how he could get it wrong. It looked obvious to me which way up they went. They curve downwards slightly. I can easily see Jack getting in a mess with it though.
Ianto wants Jack to be really steamed up with frustration. Then he'll put the tree together in five minutes flat and reap the benefits of a very grateful Jack who needs a release for his pent-up frustrations. ;)
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-22 08:55 pm (UTC)Ianto's being evil in a good way, because he knows Jack will enjoy himself immensely later. The tree is the right way up, it's the branches that he's putting on upside down so instead of gracefully dropping they curl upwards. Jack knows something isn't right but he can't work out what.
Thank you.
