Title: Moving Day

Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 316 – Reverse Fandom – How I Met Your Mother at [livejournal.com profile] tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack’s moving in with Ianto.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: Another that came out at 100 words first try! This is a little coda to my bingo fic ‘Flattery Will Get You Everywhere’, just because the prompt fit.

A/N2: Title is the prompt used.







Last night, Ianto had asked Jack to move in with him officially. Jack had said yes, so they’d told the team they were taking the day off. After all, moving was a big job.



OoOoOoOoO



Ianto stared at the two boxes and the small trunk in bemusement.



“That’s it?”



Jack grinned.



“Yep! All my worldly goods!” He looked at the small pile and frowned. “Well, those are all the things I can take out of the Hub anyway. My clothes are already at your place.”



“Huh.” Ianto picked up the boxes. “This is going to be the easiest moving day ever!”



The End

Oh, if moving was always that easy! I think I'd need at least three trunks just for my clothes xD Thank God I'm not going to move out anytime soon... But still, I sort of envy Jack.

After over 20 years in the same place the thought of packing leaves me a simpering bundle of nerves, lucky ducks.

Lucky Ianto! the last time I moved, we needed two big vans and I still have things in boxes after six years.
Isn't it wonderful, seeing our boys moving forwards their happiness?!!!!

O.o So jealous of Jack... I dread the day when I move out of my parents' and into my own place.

Actually, it may be sad, but it makes sense. Since he's lived for so long, he knows the true value of things, and that most things don't last. Why would you collect a ton of junk if you have to take it with you whenever you leave somewhere--which may be often--and it's not stuff that actually matters to you?

Eh. I can just see him not caring about having a lot of things. He knows he's going to live a really long time, and that he's going to be on the move at some point. Besides, he was a Time Agent--they were supposed to move around a lot, right? I feel like ever since he lost his first home in Boeshane, he doesn't ascribe a lot of value to possessions.

Maybe I'm totally off base here. That's the beauty of fanfiction, though. ^.^~

I don't know whether to feel relieved there isn't much to move, or sad that Jack doesn't have that much...

Ooh, I didn't even think about the military history, I was just thinking about the Time Agent perspective. But yeah, Jack doesn't have a lot of stuff.

That's okay. Ianto will make up for it. He doesn't need all that much anyway.

Yep that is is, a bit sad tho that that's all the stuff Jack possesses after he' been alive son long.

Agreed! And that will be for ever and ever!

(CoE? What is that? Canon? Pfft, you're making things up!)

Oh. That was easy. I take more stuff than that when I just go away for the weekend!

It's sad that Jack doesn't have more stuff. But then he has gradually been moving in with Ianto anyway so most of his things are already there.

Sometimes I envy those who can move with only a few boxes, but then I love my stuff (especially my books) so I'm fine. But it's probably good that Jack could move so easily - and now I'm thinking of what kind of stuff he has lost? *hmmm* :-/

In a way, it does seem sad that that's all Jack has, but when he's lived this long, I'm sure he's prioritized what's really important to him and material possessions mean nowhere near as much as a loving partner. Anything else he needs, they'll buy together and build wonderful memories around their life together.

I guess if you work for Torchwood 24/7, you don't need that much stuff! ;)

Fortunately, Jack is not a conservative. With all these years, he could have some moving trucks!
