Title: A Pair Again - Sequel to ‘Little Lost Sock’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 381: Pair at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The saga of the socks comes to a happy ending.

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

Now Ianto has one clean sock and one dirty sock; that’s a dilemma. Should he separate the pair again? Put the clean one away and the dirty one in the hamper? That seems cruel. Scooping them up, he drops both in the hamper for washing; a second wash won’t do the clean one any harm.

“Ianto, what’re you doing out of bed?”

Jack’s home.

“Reuniting lost socks. They were sad and lonely but they’re okay now.”

“That’s good. Now back to bed with you. You’re meant to be resting, doctor’s orders.”

Ianto doped up on flu medicine is just adorable.

The End

He he, I was beginning to think that this was too anal even for Ianto! That explains it now!

[bk_forever]

Yep! He does like his socks paired for speed of dressing, but he won't usually turn the house upside down if half a pair has disappeared and he normally doesn't empathise with his footwear. But you know cold meds, they can have weird effects on the most rational of people!

Thank you!

Oh that explains everything, I was beginning to think he had gone simple-minded due to over-stress.

[bk_forever]

Even the most rational of minds can become addled by flu and the effects of medications!

Thank you!

LOL so now we know why he was so intent on finding that sock.

great drabble.

Cold meds have strange effects on people, I think they sent Ianto's natural empathy into overdrive! He got fixated on reuniting the two socks. I'm sure Jack thinks it's hilarious!

What a thouroughly enjoyable twist!

[bk_forever]

Heehee! Thank you!

There had to be a good reason why Ianto was so concerned for his socks!

[akawho.livejournal.com]

I was wondering why Ianto was so obsessed with those socks... ROFLMAO!!

[bk_forever]

Heehee! I love revealing things right at the end! The whole idea was simply irresistible because I just adore writing Ianto when he's not exactly firing on all cylinders.

Thank you!

OMG! you got me here! I thought Ianto was going mad with all this sock topic, firstly I thought he could be pregnant and being too hormonal but the flu medicine explains it all.
Well done!

[bk_forever]

Hahaha! I'm fiendish, I am!

Yes, poor Ianto, having a weird reaction to his meds.

Thank you!

You always find the funny ideas

Here, with this fall, it is the pompom !!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Ianto's always cute.

[bk_forever]

*grins* Thank you! I knew that he wasn't behaving quite normally, so I had to come up with a good reason!

LOL and here I was, thinking that they were alien socks that fell through the rift and ended up in Ianto's laundry

[bk_forever]

Now that's an idea...

;)

Thank you!
