Summary: There's something neither Owen nor Ianto want to tell Jack....
Author's Note:  Some silliness written for jadesfire2808

“You tell him.”  Owen shoved the bundle at Ianto.

“You did it.”  Ianto pushed it back.

“But he won’t kill you.”  Owen replied, worriedly.

“He won’t kill you.  Perhaps maim, but not kill.”

“It’ll be better, coming from you.”  Owen pressed the bundle into Ianto’s hands.

‘Either way, he won’t be happy.”  Ianto sighed.

Jack walked in.  “Who won’t be happy?”  

“Jack!”  They yelled, the bundle dropping to the floor.

Jack eyed the bundle.  “Is that pile of rags my greatcoat?”  His question careful, deliberate.

Owen and Ianto nodded guiltily.

Jack shrugged.  “There’s a whole box of them in storage.”

*happy grin*

Much fun! Thank you :D

*bows* quite welcome!

Oh, hilarious! Beautifully done! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thanks! (and no beta critique? That's probably a first!)

[unfeathered]

Oi! *is offended* I quite often don't have anything to correct!

You didn't use any speech tags. They're usually where you get your punctuation confused... *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol, good point! I was just shocked nothing slipped by me since I dashed it off in such a hurry.

Glad you liked!

[midknight2501.livejournal.com]

Heh. I bet he did that on purpose.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you never know with him!

[shotgunteacup.livejournal.com]

It doesn't suprise me that Jack has a box of them. He does love his coat.

Very nice; made me laugh (:

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Jack certainly does... glad you liked!

*gigglesnort*
Excellant idea.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I got a gigglesnort! Woo-hoo!! Thanks!

Hah! Clever Jack.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He is a sneaky one!

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Yup, that sounds like something Jack would do.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*g* gotta love him for it!

::snort:: I love Owen and Ianto as two guilty little boys here, and then Jack's response is fantastic. Let 'em squirm for a sec, and then dismiss it. I know you wrote this to cheer Jades up, but it's cheered me up, too!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I love cheering people up! :)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Ha! That explains a lot. This is fun. I like that Owen actually lets himself look worried.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Well, Jack does intimidate him just a tad...

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

He does, which is so interesting. I think Owen tries to act cool about it most of the time but he clearly defers to Jack. (Until he reaches the end of his rope.) Man I'd like to know more about that backstory.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I think Owen's a little scared by how comfortable Jack is in his own skin (does that makes sense?)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

It does make sense, and its an interesting observation. I'm going to keep that in mind.

I tend to think that Owen wants Jack's approval more than he cares to admit, and actually those two things could play into each other.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*phew* I actually made sense... scary!

In a lot of ways I think EoD played out like it did because of the Owen/Jack dynamic. Owen just expected Jack to fix things (His line "what are you gonna do?" kind of suggests that) and the final straw in the team's uprising was Owen not getting the approval he was seeking from Jack.

Much love for Jack's reaction! ROFL

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[sky-at-twilight.livejournal.com]

Ah, blessed Army surplus.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Jack certainly would agree with you! :)
