Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto’s feeling let down…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
As Ianto checked his shopping list, a diminutive young woman approached him.
“Excuse me, could you pass me a packet of those crackers from the top shelf, please?”
“No problem.”
Naturally, the crackers were right at the back of the shelf. Despite his height, even Ianto had to stretch up on tiptoes to reach them. As he did so, he felt a strange twanging sensation. He couldn’t think what it might be, until he became aware of a sudden draft as his trousers dropped around his ankles.
His belt had snapped.
“That’s why I wear braces,” Jack commented unhelpfully, smirking.
The End

Does it means Ianto is trustworthy and Jack is not? Hum... I wonder... lol
Very nice, anyway. :D

(Did you get Providence back okay?)

Date: 2014-04-12 06:37 pm (UTC)Poor Ianto - more than a slight loss of dignity there!
And of course Jack would laugh. And his laugh is not subtle - it would draw lots of attention!
But I'm sure his audience enjoyed the show ;-)
Now he (you) just needs to think of a way to get back at Jack.... :-)

I will try to think of a suitable punishment for Jack, but I don't know when it will happen.
I should be writing bingo fics, but I'm completely stalled, can't get up motivation to even try. That's partly because I'm feeling like crap at the moment, partly because I have so much else to do. Signing up for bingo was probably a bad idea at this point in time, but I'll just have to try to get my brain to focus.
