Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack and Ianto have to work on New Year's Eve.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
This wasn’t how either of them had planned to spend New Year’s Eve, but the Rift had no respect for earth’s traditions, and Torchwood were obliged to deal with anything that fell through, regardless of where or when.
Or what, Ianto mused, dousing another of the slug-things with salt water and watching it shrivel away to nothing. The neon pink beasties were parasitic and lethal, but thankfully easy to track and neutralise.
Nearby, church bells chimed and Jack pulled Ianto into a quick but heated kiss.
“Happy New Year!”
“It’s only ten O’clock!”
“Really? Well, it’s midnight somewhere.”
“Fair point.”
The End
Ewww, slug-things, and neon pink, nonetheless. No wonder Jack was too distracted to notice what time it is!
Yeah, he was busy exterminating, when he heard the chines he jumped to the wrong conclusion which isn't surprising. Who knows how long they'd been out there dealing with the parasitic beasties? Time flies when you're having fun...
Thank you!
And this way, they can have another New Year kiss at the right time, that was just a trial run, lol!
Thank you
Thank you.
And the clock might have been slow...
Practice makes perfect ... :D :D :D
Thank you!
Jack will use any excuse to kiss his Ianto! ♥
*hugs*
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jack wanted to get in a few trial runs before the real midnight. Ianto didn't mind at all!
Thank you.
But at least due to Jack's bad time keeping they get to kiss every hour :-)

The slug-things are onr of the nastier critters to come through the Rift, but they show up well so they're easy to track.
Thank you.
Thank you.
