Summary: There's a rabbit in the Hub. That's all you need to know.
"Ianto! My office! Now!"
Jack's impatient bellow rang out across the Hub. The rest of the team looked at Ianto. He shrugged.
"Urgent desire for my company?" he suggested.
"Or an urgent desire for your c--" Owen began, but was interrupted by Gwen telling him to shut up. Ianto swept past him, smiling to himself.
"What can I do for you Jack?"
Jack scowled and pointed at his desk. "What the hell is that?"
Ianto looked. "Well, around these parts we call them rabbits, although I understand how you could be confused."
"I know it's a rabbit, Ianto," Jack growled through gritted teeth. "What is it doing on my desk?"
Once again, Ianto studied the small furry creature. It blinked innocently at him. "It appears to be eating your paperwork."
Jack's nostrils flared angrily. The rabbit, however, twitched it's nose very cutely and began washing it's little white paws.
"Would you like me to...deal with it for you, Captain?" Ianto asked, putting on his best serious expression.
"Just get it out of my office," Jack said, folding his arms across his chest, still refusing to see the funny side.
"Certainly." Ianto scooped up the rabbit and held it protectively against his chest. This was purely in defence of the rabbit of course, in case Jack decided to lunge at it and turn it into rabbit pie. Not because he wanted to cuddle it. Not at all.
The rabbit wriggled, clearly making sure that as much of Ianto's suit as possible was sprinkled liberally with little white hairs. It was only just cute enough to get away with it.
"Stop getting attached to it," Jack commanded.
"I wasn't getting attached--"
"Yes you were." Jack glared at him for a moment. "You want to keep it, don't you?"
Ianto paused. "We-ell..."
"The pterodactyl would eat it! Owen would eat it!" Jack exclaimed, grasping for arguments. "And besides, it's...it's a security breach! I mean, how did it get in here anyway? We could be invaded at any moment!"
"By rabbits."
"That's not the point!" Jack sighed, looking at the rabbit. The rabbit looked at Jack. He gave it an experimental stroke. "It is quite cute though, isn't it?"
"I'll find a cage."
