A/N: Double drabble.




Jack was bored, but Ianto was busy. That wasn’t good. Jack could think of very few ways to banish boredom that didn’t involve the delectable Mr Jones in some way, and most of those weren’t available on earth.


He knew he could browse ebay, but last time he’d done that, Ianto had been less than thrilled by his purchases, something Jack still couldn’t fathom. Who didn’t love novelty underwear that played a tune whenever you sat down?


Okay, so online shopping was out for the moment.


Jack fidgeted. He could go down to the archives and seek out his lover’s company, but Ianto would most likely object to any of his suggestions for how they could brighten up a boring afternoon. The trick would be to present him with something irresistible enough that it would obliterate any objections before they could form. Sadly, Ianto had become very good at resisting the irresistible.


Finally, Jack hit on a plan, made suitable preparations, and went downstairs.


“WOOOOOOOOO! What d’you think of my Halloween costume?”


Ianto rolled his eyes. “It’s a sheet, Jack. You look ridiculous, take it off.”


Jack did, standing there naked with a can of whipped cream.


“Trick or treat?”



The End

Typical Jack can always be relied on to counter boredom. If Ianto was being honest he'd have to admit he really enjoys the inventive distractions

He's certainly going to enjoy this one, I think!

Thank you!
