Title: What Did You Mean, Innovate?
By: bittersweet
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Summary: Something short and silly to alleviate the sadness, because as much as I love writing anguished-Ianto I can't bear to torture him for long. References stuff said in Reset and They Keep Killing Suzie.
Disclaimer: Until the day (and it will come, oh yes, it will...) that I go on a killing spree in the BBC and claim all Torchwood for my own... they are free.

"Ianto?"

"Yes, Sir?"

"What did you mean by... innovative?"

"Exactly what I said, Sir. You are very creative."

"Creative how?"

"Uhh... locations, for one thing. It's amazing how efficiently you can use a small space. And your... accessorising. You know, it was Owen who got the bill from the costume shop. I think you traumatised him for life."

"Really?"

"Yeah. His face went green."

"Haha!"

"That's what Tosh said."

"So... you don't like my, uh... accessorising?"

"I never said that."

...

...

"Sir?"

"Yes?"

"What are you holding?"

"Nothing."

"Jack, you just put it in your pants pocket. I saw you."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"Nope."

"Jack, this is childish...show me."

"No."

...

...

CRASH

...

...

"Ianto?"

"Yes, Sir?"

"Not that I don't like it when you're lying on top of me...but that was quite an aggressive lunge there...across a desk and everything... what are you – oh. Do that again."

"You have a dirty mind, Harkness. Got it! It's... oh hell. She got one for you."

"Yep."

"I'm not wearing it."

"Pretty please?"

"No. No way."

"What, you won't wear this but you'll let me use a stopwatch to -"

"Finish that sentence and I will kill you."

"It was your idea."

"Not that part! You... you jumped on me!"

"But you liked it, didn't you?"

...

...

"C'mon Yan...Please wear it."

"Nope."

"But... red suits you."

"No!"

"Please? Pleasepleasepleaseplea-"

...

...

"See? Told you it would look sexy."

"Shut up and kiss me."
