Last one for the challenge!
Their first date hadn’t exactly gone to plan.
Jack had booked a table at a lovely restaurant, then they’d been late because he’d gone the wrong way down a one-way street and been stopped by the police.
Then Jack knocked the candle over and set fire to their table, making things worse when he tried to put it out with the brandy he’d grabbed from a passing waiter.
As they walked back to the car, Jack mumbled, “I wanted it to be romantic.”
Ianto stared at him, then burst out laughing.
“Romantic? No. Unforgettable? Definitely. It’s the thought that counts!”
The End
Who can feel bad after that?
Thank you!
Thank you.
I'd have like to see it in the real show. It's great. I love it. You made my day.Thanks.
I figured he was so nervous asking Ianto out on a date in the first place, he would probably still be nervous on the date itself so he kept being clumsy and making a mess of things. Ianto didn't mind though, he was nervous too and in the end it was just so terrible it was funny. They had a good time afterwards, I'm sure.
Thank you!
