Characters: Jack, Ianto, Nosy
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Nosy is exhibiting a strange symptom, causing Jack to panic.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This one’s for
milady_dragon. Thought you could do with a little boost considering everything you’re dealing with right now!
I really should have posted this one before ‘Personal Grooming’.
Prompt is at the end.
“Ianto!” Jack ran from his office, eyes wide with panic.
“Jack? What’s wrong?”
“Nosy’s going bald!”
“What?”
“It’s not my fault, I was just stroking it and all its fluff started falling out!” Jack sounded frantic, holding up a handful of green hairs. “Look!”
Ianto tried very hard not to laugh, but failed.
“Jack, it’s okay. Nosy’s just shedding its winter coat, it won’t go bald.”
“Oh. Are you sure?”
“Quite sure,” Ianto replied ruefully, watching Nosy slither past leaving a trail of green fluff in its wake.
“I really should teach Nosy to use the vacuum cleaner,” he sighed.

A/N: Prompt ‘Nosy starts shedding’.

I love that this was what prompted Ianto to teach Nosy how to use the vacuum, because it makes perfect sense, and Ianto is just brilliant. After all, everyone should be expected to clean up after themselves!

Thank you! *squish*

Good idea to put this scene before that of the vacuum ...
