Drabble: Live-In Help

Title: Live-In Help

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 346: Fold at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto decides he quite likes having Jack living with him.

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

There were, Ianto decided, quite a few perks to having Jack living with him. For one thing, he was very nice to snuggle up to on winter nights, never complaining about Ianto’s cold feet.

Surprisingly, Jack hadn’t needed a lot of persuasion to help with the chores; he willingly dried the dishes while Ianto washed them, loved mowing the lawn, changed light bulbs with a smile…

True, he left the lid off the toothpaste and his clothes all over the floor, but nobody’s perfect.

Best of all though was having someone there on laundry day to help fold the sheets.

The End

That is the sweet and practical Ianto we all love.😉
However, I am sure he also enjoys some other extra-chores too 😈

I'm sure he does! But the little things count too ;)

Thank you!

That's the great thing about a 51st century guy - no concept of "woman's work". ;)

It's all fair game to Jack, just as it is to any man who lives alone and has to do everything for himself, as Ianto has.

Thank you!

House broken and domesticated - that's quite an achievement!

[bk_forever]

Mostly house-broken anyway.

I think Jack likes being a normal guy when he's not at work. It's kind of like a vacation for him.

Thank you!

Wow love Domestic Jack.

[bk_forever]

So does Ianto. So does Jack! He likes that he gets to be just an ordinary guy some of the time.

Thank you!

Nice!!! I wonder if how Jack will cope with the other domestic chores :P probably nothing related to cleaning, he strikes me as the more handy-man type.

And now I want someone to help me fold the sheets on laundry day too... -_-

Jack loves being domestic, to him it's exotic, like offices. He leaves the cleaning to Ianto though, because he can't match Ianto's standards. He's happy to fix things and help with decorating. Ianto's a bit dubious because Jack's so good at making a mess.

I need sheet-folding help too. Mum used to help me by holding one end, but now I have to do it all myself.

Thank you!

That does sound nice... would be nice to have a person like that at my place ::)

[bk_forever]

Ditto. Living alone is hard.

Thank you =)

Sheets are a pain on your own.

Don't I know it!

Thank you!
