Drabble: Not So Silent Night

Title: Not So Silent Night

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 276 – Sound at tw100

Spoilers: None at all.

Summary: Ianto wants to sleep, but something is keeping him awake.

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

Ianto was exhausted, head aching; he just wanted to sleep, but that sound was driving him insane.

Squeeeeeee! Honk. Squeeeeee! Honk. All the bloody time!

He turned over, trying to get comfortable.

Squeeeeeee! Honk. Squeeeeee! Honk.

Cursing, he rolled on his back. Nothing helped. There was no escape.

“You okay?” Jack asked from beside him.

“No. Is a bit of peace and quiet too much to ask for?”

“Sorry, can’t help you there.”

Ianto pulled his pillow over his head, but the sound continued.

Squeeeeeee! Honk. Squeeeeee! Honk.

Why did his nose whistle so irritatingly when he had a cold?

The End

Oh, poor Ianto! Make him a honey and lemon drink, Jack.

I'm going to tell him to do some steam inhaling too - nose whistles are incredibly annoying. *pets Ianto*

Thank you.

OH, he's got a noisy noze (as opposed to a noisy nozy).

[bk_forever]

ROFL! I think he'd prefer a noisy Nosy - at least he'd have a chance of persuading Nosy to be quiet - or he could just go somewhere Nosy wasn't. When it's your own nose, the problem goes everywhere that you go...

Thank you.

Oh, I always get a noisy nose when I have a cold! So annoying! *hugs Ianto*

[bk_forever]

It's so distracting, isn't it? *pets Ianto* Steam inhaling helps.

Thank you.

Awww poor Ianto. Tell Jack to cuddle him to help him feel better.

[bk_forever]

Jack will do his best, though unfortunately he hasn't been able to stop Ianto's nose from whistling.

Thank you.

Why is it when you're sick and most need to sleep your body doesn't like to cooperate? There's not much even the mighty Torchwood can do in this situation, I guess. Poor Ianto!

[bk_forever]

Yeah. After a hard day at Torchwood, it's Ianto's nose keeping him up at night! Maybe Jack should bundle him into a steamy shower and see if that clears the whistling for a few hours. *pets Ianto*

Thank you.

(Lol at your icon. On Noes indeed, or should that be Oh Nose?)

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

Steamy shower sounds good! It can clear the sinuses and provide as a distraction in other ways, if Jack joins him in it. ;)

(ROFL! Good one!)

[bk_forever]

I can't imagine Jack NOT joining Ianto in the shower, lol!

[sassysailorgirl.livejournal.com]

For a second there, I thought Nosy might be hiding under the bed. ;p

[bk_forever]

LOL! I hope Nosy doesn't catch a cold. Maybe it snores though...

Thank you!

[scottishwillow.livejournal.com]

Love it!

Recovering from a cold myself at the moment so know exactly how he feels.

Great job.

[bk_forever]

Thank you.

I would have dedicated to everyone with a cold, but that would have given the ending away.

Hope your cold is better now.

Aww poor Ianto!
How annoying!

[bk_forever]

Yeah, it's bad enough having a sound keeping you awake, but when it's part of you that's making the sound in the first place, that's even worse because you can't escape from it.

Thank you.

Kekeke!!!
My sweet Ianto!!!
Loved it!!!
Hugs!!!

[bk_forever]

Thank you, glad you liked it! *hugs*

[blossomlegs.livejournal.com]

Thought it might have been MY and Nosy, but Jack. He needs some nasal spray!?

[bk_forever]

Ianto certainly needs something! Steam inhaling helps, but I guess he hasn't had time, so his nose continues to whistle. *pets Ianto*

On the bright side, Jack is faithfully staying by his side despite Ianto's constant annoying sound effects.

Thank you.

[mango-apple.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[bk_forever]

Thanks! So many people have colds just now, it seemed appropriate.

[maharaniradha.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh...poor Ianto. Colds are awful.

[bk_forever]

They are. I don't think ianto would mind his so much if his nose would just shut up and let him sleep. It's hard to escape from your own nose, lol!

Thank you.

[black59.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!
You had me! I thought it was Myfanwy who kept trying to whistle!!

[bk_forever]

Lol! That would have been funny too!

Thank you!

[too-beauty.livejournal.com]

I can totally agree with Ianto when I have a cold ... never imagine that my so tiny nose could make such loud noises

[bk_forever]

It's awful, isn't it? Wheezing and whistling keeping you awake and it's your own nose that's the problem. I'm sure Jack will find a way to help Ianto though.

Thank you.
