A/N: This one’s a double drabble.
“Of all the irresponsible things to do!” Jack snapped.
“You’re calling ME irresponsible?” Ianto replied, glancing incredulously at his lover. “That’s rich! I only had the glue out in the first place to fix the lamp you broke, and I only put it down for a moment to answer the phone, which you should’ve been here to answer yourself! You knew the PM was calling at ten; it’s written on your desk calendar. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you.”
“I just forgot, okay?” At least Jack had the grace to look guilty. “You were busy so it seemed like a good time to fetch my coat from the SUV. How was I supposed to know this would happen?”
How indeed? Even Ianto hadn’t anticipated this one. Keeping his head down, he carried on carefully snipping. “It’s lucky Fluffs have such thick fur,” he said with a sigh. “The worst thing Dizzy will have to deal with is a bad haircut. Your desk, on the other hand…”
Slinking over the open tube of glue, the Flufflet had stuck itself firmly to the top of Jack’s desk like a length of fur trim.
Jack shrugged. “I can live with a fluffy desk.”

Dizzy is completely unfazed. Nothing bothers it much.
Thank you!
