Drabble: Public Vs. Private

Title: Public Vs. Private
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Jack, Ianto.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 435: Smile at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack has one smile for the world and another just for Ianto.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.





Jack had spent a lot of time over the years looking into mirrors and perfecting his smile, the flirty, devil-may-care one he flashed at practically everyone he met. The practice had paid off because it was devastatingly effective; the one thing people who met him never forgot, except when he retconned them, was that smile, wide and confident, and full of perfect teeth.


Ianto had nothing against that smile; when turned on him it usually meant a night of fun, but he much preferred the less showy, softer, more honest smile that Jack reserved just for their private moments together.

I am sure that that private smile turns Ianto into jelly and it is the one which is the most sincere.

It is, and Ianto loves to see it, but the playful public smile is still fun. =)

Thank you!

i am certain that Ianto also has a private smile for Jack.

great drabble

I'm sure he does, but he's probably not aware of it ;)

Thank you!

Oh lucky Ianto. I'd settle for Jack's public smile. I can just picture them lying together smiling softly at each other. Sweet

They're such a sappy pair beneath their public personas =)

Thank you!

Jack has many smiles and Ianto loves them all.

[bk_forever]

Agreed, but the ones meant just for him will always be his favourites =)

Than you!

Yeah. We see the flirty smile, but oh, to be the one those special smiles are reserved for!

Thank you.
