A/N: This one’s a double drabble.





Jack winced. Ianto was not happy, and was making that very clear at a volume that was fast giving him a headache. Well, that and the incessant pounding were. It was like being inside a drum.


“I told you this was a bad idea, but did you listen to me? Of course not; when do you ever listen to me?”


Resisting the temptation to say he listened to Ianto all the time, Jack replied meekly, “We needed somewhere to hide from that thing.”


“We had any number of places we could’ve hidden, but you had to drag me in here!”


“It’s solid metal!” Jack pointed out. “I thought it would protect us!”


“Oh, it’s protecting us alright. It’s protecting us so well that now we can’t get out!”


“I don’t want to get out; that thing’s out there! Did you see its teeth? And the claws! Besides, we’re keeping it busy until the team gets here with the heavy artillery.”


They covered their ears at the rending screech of claws against metal.


“Wonderful,” Ianto groaned when the noise stopped. “Rusted wrecks everywhere and you lock us in the boot of the smallest car you can find!”


“It was the closest!”

LOL Jack just wants to be as close to Ianto as possible LOL

great drabbel

Ianto has no objections, in theory, but this isn't what he would have chosen!

Thank you!

Practical Jack wants Ianto safe ASAP. The fact that he gets to be really close to him, didn't enter into his calculations at all. did it?

[bk_forever]

Nope! Not at all. ;)

Neither did the fact that Ianto probably wouldn't appreciate an elbow in his ear and a knee wedged somewhere else uncomfortable. There's 'close' and then there's two people trying to fit in somewhere there's only really room for one.

Thank you!

Very cute, I like this one. Ianto wasn't happy, but I am sure it didn't bother Jack. lol! :)

[bk_forever]

Ianto was at least safe, it was just so cramped there were elbows and knees poking in uncomfortable places ;)

Thank you.

Ouch! Still, they were very close to each other...not fun though with a creature coming after you. Not a romantic situation. Funny though. :)

[bk_forever]

No, not really romantic being crammed in the boot of a rusty old car, but I'm sure Jack will make it up to Ianto later ;)

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Jack will. BTW. Love the icon! :) I may have to steal that one from ya. Been uploading some new ones from TW and other stuff I like now.

[bk_forever]

Steal away, it's a great icon!

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

I think I will. So cute! :D

Ianto, don't be so grumpy, Jack was doing his best, or at least, he tried!! LOL
I first thought about a locker; you have the craziest ideas, my dear!

[bk_forever]

I know, I have a weird brain. Just wait until you see some of the others that are waiting to be posted o_O

Jack tries, and Ianto appreciates being safe, but it's a bit of a tight squeeze.

Thank you!

Lol, now all Jack needs to do is keep Ianto busy to stop his complaints. Squashed into the back of a car, I'm sure Jack won't find that terribly challenging. ;)

If thy can just get into a position that doesn't involve elbows and knees in awkward places. They were in a hurry and didn't have time to get comfortable, and now there's no room for manoeuvre.

Thank you!
