Drabble: Success
Title: Success

Spoilers: Set pre-series, before Ianto joins Torchwood One.
Summary: Life in London isn’t what Ianto thought it would be.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
At one time, Ianto had thought the measure of a man’s success was a good job, his own home, and an expensive car. Then he left the estate, headed to London, and has spent several months living hand-to-mouth, working whatever menial part-time jobs he can get, and living in shared squats.
His idea of success has downgraded significantly from owning his own place to living somewhere with a shower that actually works and isn’t shared by six other people.
Funny how having access to running water that’s more than barely lukewarm has gone from a necessity to an unimaginable luxury.
The End

Thank you!
So many things in life are a matter of perspective. What's insignificant one day might seem all important at another time.
Yup, you can't skimp on the essentials and a good hot shower is definitely top of the list.
Thank you!
