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.

260. Happy Birthday, Jack - Follows Ch 259

Title: Happy Birthday, Jack – Sequel to 'What's Going On?'

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto explains and gives Jack his present.

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

A/N: Third of five drabbles for owensheart, who prompted me with 'Ianto discovers the actual date of Jack's birthday and decides to surprise him with a little celebration.'

I love Janto: He didn't promise, he threatened decaf! ;)

Jack loves sneaky Ianto too, especially when he gets him all to himself, lol!

Gwen wanted a lavish party, but Ianto reminded her that this was for Jack, not Gwen, his first official birthday in over a century and as Jack's boyfriend and the one who'd worked out the correct date, it was his choice, not hers. Ianto is always polite but firm. Thank you.

Up in their hotel room, Ianto sat Jack on their bed and explained what he'd done before rummaging in the bags and presenting Jack with a beautifully wrapped gift.

"Happy birthday, Jack."

For the first time in a very long time, Jack was rendered speechless; he just sat there, staring first at the gift in his hands, then at Ianto, then back at his gift in complete bewilderment.

"It's my birthday?"

"Yes, Jack, and since we only have two days here you might want to open that before we have to leave."

"Oh, right!"

Jack carefully peeled the wrapping away.
