Outside, the sun was shining in a clear blue sky. There wasn’t a cloud in sight! It was the kind of glorious spring day people dreamed about, but seldom experienced, or at least not in Cardiff. Being on the coast meant being at the mercy of storms, wind, rain…


Even when the sun was shining, clouds could drift across at any moment, spoiling everything, so perfect weather was to be made the most of, and Ianto intended to do just that. Taking a flask of coffee and a snack with him, he made his way up to the tourist office, intending to find a seat up on the Plas where he could watch the world go by for an hour or so. If anyone needed him, they’d call his phone.


Opening the door, he stepped out into the sunshine and came face-to-face with Jack, shambling disconsolately along Mermaid Quay. He was soaking wet, his clothes, the coat, even his hair, dripping water.


Ianto frowned, glancing up at the cloudless sky, then back at Jack.


“You’re wet!”


“I noticed.” Jack pouted.


“But the sun’s shining!”


“I know. I got dazzled by the reflections off the water and fell off the boardwalk.”



The End

Nasty that. Being dazzled is no fun. I was a few days ago, and ran the buggy over the kerb, Thought it was going to tip over for a few nasty seconds, but it is very stable and righted itself, Ianto will be sympathetic and take jack for a shower, dry clothes and a hot drink. Maybe a bit of a cuddle. They might even go back up to enjoy the sun

Yeah, I get scared driving when the sun's in my eyes.

Jack will shower while Ianto takes care of Coat, then they can both go up on the Plas and enjoy the sun.

Thank you!
