Fastening the button on his trousers, Jack winced; they felt a bit tight. He knew he shouldn’t be surprised; he’d seriously overindulged during Christmas, a fact that Ianto had been quick to point out to him since their pet was also looking rather more bulgy than it should. Really though, Jack didn’t see why he was being blamed. Surely the fault should lie with the one who’d done all the cooking. Ianto had put on a spread fit for royalty; it would have been an insult not to sample everything. Several times. With seconds. And midnight snacks…
Okay, yes, Ianto was right, he hadn’t really needed to stuff himself quite that much, and now he was paying the price of having his trousers pinch around the middle. He looked over at Nosy where the normally svelte but now noticeably rotund Fluff lay. It looked like a hairy sausage.
“It’s alright for you; you don’t have to wear trousers.” He sighed heavily. “I hate to admit it, but Ianto’s right; we’re fat. It’s not becoming. If we’re not careful, he won’t want to be seen with either of us.”
The sad fact was that despite his job, he really didn’t get enough exercise. That was going to have to change, and there was no time like the present, especially given the date.
He looked over at the calendar. December 31st, New Year’s Eve.
“Okay, I’ll make you a deal. You join me in a New Year’s resolution to eat less and exercise a whole lot more, and I’ll share this last Christmas cookie with you. What d’you say?”
“Hummmm.”
“I’ll take that as a yes.” Jack broke the cookie in half, fed one piece to the Fluff and crammed the other in his own mouth. Tomorrow they’d both turn over a new leaf, but for now they’d overindulge, just one last time.
The End

Date: 2016-01-01 01:44 am (UTC)Jack and Nosy gained weight, blame that one that made it.
Ianto did not make them go back for thirds.
They will get exercise together.
Ianto will watch, and laugh.

Date: 2016-01-01 12:05 pm (UTC)Isn't it ridiculous? I can post with no problem, but I can't reply to reviews because the site can't find them, and now no one can review any of the new stories. I hope they get it fixed soon, I have about a dozen reviews awaiting replies. Very frustrating.
Happy New Year, and thank you for the lovely card! So cute =)
Re: I love Janto
Date: 2016-01-01 03:02 pm (UTC)Glad that you like it.
Ianto will make sure that his loves work out.
This is something that Jack and Nosy can do together.
Yes it is. No one can get to their reviews.
It says that they are there, but they do not come up.
I'm glad that I can talk to you here.
Re: I love Janto
Date: 2016-01-01 09:43 pm (UTC)Still no joy with replying to reviews. All the writers affected will have a lot of catching up to do.
Re: I love Janto
Date: 2016-01-02 01:13 am (UTC)They will do what he tells them to do.
It's been two days.
At least the writers still can get their stories out there.
Re: I love Janto
Date: 2016-01-02 12:05 pm (UTC)Ianto will soon have Jack and Nosy looking trim and fit! Until next Christmas.
Re: I love Janto
Date: 2016-01-02 11:03 pm (UTC)Ianto will motivate them.
And they still love him.
Ianto will keep and eye on their eating.

Date: 2016-01-06 10:09 pm (UTC)Personally I only made one resolution this year:
I won't make résolutions, because I know for sure I won't be able to keep them. This way I won't be disappointed.

Date: 2016-01-08 07:13 pm (UTC)I fear this to end as much resolution: abandoned after a few days ...
Nosy sausage mmmhhhhhh if I judge what happens on an obese dog, he should no longer be beautiful or aesthetic !!!
I want to know how they will solve this problem (especially Nosy): at the time, I thought the use of an artifact ... (bad idea, I'm sure!) or going Ianto put the plan: argh, Jack mood will be affected !!! and I see Nosy go anywhere slamming everything he can and pilfering any donut asked ... (Jack for that matter, LOL)

Date: 2016-01-08 09:19 pm (UTC)Ianto will take charge of them, making them exercise. He can be very strict. They will run (or slither) laps of the Hub, do pushups and even lift weights. ;)
Thank you!
