Jack's Treasures

Title: Jack's Treasures
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Trinkets or treasures, they are what Jack holds dear

The old cigar box sits open on the desk, displaying its treasures for the world.  Inside there’s a key, kept shiny and bright despite its obvious age.  A photo of two young lovers, frozen forever in each other’s gaze. A single cufflink, dull and scratched.  Several newspaper articles, brittle and faded.  And a small ashtray, made out of clay by tiny hands,  fingerprints still noticeable on the sides.

Ianto has seen the box, and its contents, many times; whether Jack leaves it out by accident or design he doesn’t know.  But he knows he’ll never have the courage to ask.

How young were the lovers?? I've always thought that Jack would have had picture of the Doctor and Rose together! Hamming it for the camera! A memento of his time with them. Team TARDIS forever! Great drabble by the way!

I supposed it's entirely possible it's Rose and the Doctor in the photo, I left it up to the reader to decide.

Glad you liked it.
