Garden: a piece of ground, often near a house, used for growing flowers, fruit, or vegetables.

Ianto was a private person, never really talking about what his life was like outside of Torchwood. In fact, the first time Jack had been to Ianto's flat, it was because of a work related emergency. Still, he would never forget the moment he stepped through the door to his partner's home. Since Ianto always kept so quiet, it was nice to see who he was outside of work.

"You garden?" Jack had asked admiring the rows of plants on a windowsill, sunlight beaming down upon them. They were obviously well-tended to and Jack admired him for it. He couldn't imagine he himself being able to keep one small plant alive, let alone the dozen Ianto had.

Ianto had shrugged at Jack's question, seeming almost embarrassed. "I don't know, it gets so quiet here sometimes. I guess it's my way of having some life in here."

Jack had made sure to visit Ianto more often after that.

And once he did, Ianto's garden slowly began to wilt

I know, this was just rubbish. :P I wasn't sure how to make a Torchwood drabble on the word "Garden" though. :P
