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: This is my tenth drabble for the current prompt! No idea if there will be any more. It's getting hard to come up with more awkward moments.

I love Janto: Some poor (or lucky) random man about Ianto's height. Lucky for Jack, he was at least open-minded and didn't take offense.

Ianto had just about caught up with Jack again, so he saw and heard everything. He's currently splitting his sides laughing at the expression of surprise on Jack's face at finding a stranger where he expected to see Ianto, lol!

Thank you!

As Ianto checked his shopping list, a diminutive young woman approached him.

"Excuse me, could you pass me a packet of those crackers from the top shelf, please?"

"No problem."

Naturally, the crackers were right at the back of the shelf. Despite his height, even Ianto had to stretch up on tiptoes to reach them. As he did so, he felt a strange twanging sensation. He couldn't think what it might be, until he became aware of a sudden draft as his trousers dropped around his ankles.

His belt had snapped.

"That's why I wear braces," Jack commented unhelpfully, smirking.
