Title: Identity Crisis

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 312 – Awkward Moments at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack needs to pay more attention…

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Strolling through Cardiff with Jack one warm spring day, Ianto decided ice cream would be a good idea.

“Be right back, I’ll get you your usual.”

Jack, who was in the middle of a long, rambling anecdote, didn’t hear and just continued along, chatting animatedly, waving his hands about, oblivious to the odd looks he was getting.

Waiting to cross the street, he draped his arm around the man beside him.

“This makes a nice change.” Turning to his companion he found his arm was around a complete stranger.

“You’re not Ianto!”

The stranger grinned.

“I almost wish I was.”

The End

I like to think he did, having just caught up, and is currently killing himself laughing, trying not to drop the ice creams. The look on Jack's face must have been priceless!

Thank you!

Haha, I can so see that happening to Jack! Love the reaction of the stranger xD
But I bet Ianto won't be happy to see Jack's arm around someone else...

(btw, I'm using my Torchwood-icon for the first time, yay! I finally got a paid account today so I can upload more icons :'D )

Ianto was just catching up again when it happened. He saw the whole thing and heard what Jack said, and is currently laughing his head off at the expression of surprise on Jack's face =)

Woohoo! Torchwood icon! I've almost reached my icon limit, so I'm considering buying an add on so I can have more. LJ is stingy. A basic dreamwidth account comes with 100 icon slots.

Ha, ha! Lucky stranger. :) Jack really needs to pay more attention to what's going on around him--it's not good when your partner leaves and you don't even notice!

Jack was high on life, enjoying being outside with Ianto on a nice day. I'm sure he just expected Ianto to be hanging on his every word, not slipping away to get ice cream, lol!

Thank you!

He is, he saw the look of surprise on Jack's face and just about fell over laughing!

Thank you!

Ianto would probably draw the line at that. Well, unless the stranger is very cute and unattached.

Thank you!

*grins* Once he gets talking, that's it, he's miles away, lost in his story, lol!

Thank you!

Hilarious. Exactly what to expect from Jack, so caught in his story he doesn't see anything around him. :D
*sigh* I wish I was the stranger who wish he was Ianto. Does it make sense? Whatever, great drabble.
You make my life brighter.

Perfect sense! I would have liked to be that stranger too. Who could possibly object to having Jack's arm around them?

Thasnk you! Glad to brighten your day!
