The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

165. The Duel

Title: The Duel

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, OACs

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 297 – Seconds at tw100

Spoilers: None at all.

Summary: There's adventure to be found everywhere for two immortals travelling the universe, but sometimes Ianto wishes Jack would just behave.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: My first drabble for this week's challenge. I have two more written so far.

I love Janto: Jack is encouraging Ianto to give in to such impulses. After all, what's the point of living forever if you don't take every opportunity for fun? Thank you.

Jack was apparently capable of causing offence wherever they went.

"I demand a duel to the death," hissed the orange skinned alien. "Name your second."

"What are seconds?" Ianto murmured to Jack.

"They remove the dead body of the loser."

"Ah." Ianto stepped forward, "I'm his second. Jones."

"Very well. I choose Chialabanch."

A small alien stepped from the crowd, looking nervous.

"Are we ready?" Jack's grin was a mile wide.

The fight was brief and brutal. Jack died quickly and the seconds carried his body to their ship.

"Stop offending people," Ianto grumbled as Jack revived.

"But it's fun!"
