Title: Unsurprised

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, mentions Jack.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 377: Surprise at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack’s efforts to give Ianto a birthday surprise or two aren’t terribly successful.

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







“It’s the thought that counts,” Ianto reminded himself, hanging up the phone after confirming the reservations Jack had made at a very nice restaurant.



“Jack’s trying.” He smiled at the double meaning as he confirmed with the baker the decorations on the birthday cake Jack had ordered.



“This is all very thoughtful,” he mused as he dutifully signed for the tickets to the rugby match that the courier was delivering.



It was nice to know that Jack had remembered his birthday and was taking such pains to make it special. It just wasn’t going to be much of a surprise.



The End

At least, he tried and for a man like Jack, it means a lot. Thank for sharing.

Well, at least Ianto knows he won't get any unpleasant birthday surprises - he already knows exactly what he's getting!

Thank you!

You're going to have to be very good to outfox Mr Jones. Bless.

It would have helped if Jack hadn't given the office number with his contact details...

Thank you!

His heart's in the right place, and at least Ianto knows he won't get any nasty surprises on his birthday, lol!

Thank you!
