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.

A/N: Song title = drabble title. It's just easier that way.

The third of my drabbles for the current challenge.

I love Janto: Very true. But then, Jack had been waiting for a very long time. When he heard the TARDIS, his only thought was that finally he could get some answers and he had to move fast because he didn't want to miss his chance and wind up waiting again. Thank you.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A loud sneeze echoed around Jack's office.

"Bless you."

"Thag you," Ianto replied with what little dignity he could muster.

Jack tried not to laugh.

Ianto's cold was the result of an unplanned swim in the Taff, courtesy of a rampaging Hoix. Being a strong swimmer, he'd hauled himself out easily enough, but the chill water and even chillier wind had combined to lower his defences. Now here he sat, bundled in a duvet on Jack's couch, with a nose that resembled Rudolph's in all its scarlet glory.

Jack was staring intently at it.

"What?"

"Your nose matches your shirt."
