Summary: Jack is puzzled. Ianto is Ianto
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
It was a gloriously warm, sunny spring day in Cardiff and they were determined to make the most of the good weather.
Jack leaned against the counter in Ianto’s kitchen, watching Ianto prepare food for their planned picnic, cutting the sandwiches diagonally into four neat triangular pieces.
“Why do you always do that?”
“Do what?”
“Cut sandwiches in triangles.”
Ianto stared at the prepared sandwiches, then looked at Jack, bemused.
“I have absolutely no idea.”
Cutting the next one in squares, he stared at it.
“That just doesn’t look right.”
He quickly cut each square diagonally.
“That’s better.”
Jack laughed.
The End
Thank you =)
but damn you stole my idea. i was going to have a sarnie thief try to replace them but not cut them in triangles
I was just thinking what a sad person I am that the first thing that comes to mind when I see the word 'triangular' is a sandwich! Glad to see it's not just me.
Thank you =)
love seeing them so domestic
Thank you!
But seriously, Ianto's right--they look AND taste better cut diagonally. Here's a whole article that explains why!
Ianto is, of course, very particular. I'm sure he found the article later and showed it to Jack to prove that his way is the best!
Loved it!!!
Big hug!!!
I love the comments to my fics anyway, different people pick up on different aspects.
Thank you!
Thank you!
But we already know Ianto is very particular about things, I'm sure he likes his sandwiches to look as perfect as possible, lol!
Thank you!
It has to be just right, ya know? 'giggles' Cute little slice of life, for the boys. :)
Yes, Ianto's a perfectionist - there's an art to sandwich making you know. Ianto may not know why he cuts them in triangles, but he knows what looks right.
Thank you.
sandwiches cut into triangle are much more beautiful!
Thank you =)
I think I must be the odd one out - I always cut mine in squares. (Except cucumber sandwiches. Which I dont have very often.)
I like doing a bit of domestic fluff now and then,
it's good to give the boys a break.
Thank you.
