Summary: Trash or Treasure? It depends on your perspective.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Late one night, Ianto was busy collecting rubbish from around the Hub before switching everything to night mode.
Retrieving a mug from Owen’s messy desk, he headed for the kitchen, returning to find Nosy rummaging in the bag of rubbish.
“Nosy, what are you doing? Get out of there!”
Nosy backed out of the bag, something unidentifiable clutched in its mouth, and slithered towards its play area. Curious, Ianto followed, watching as Nosy carefully placed its rescued object on a narrow ledge, beside an array of similar objects.
Bottle caps.
Ianto smiled.
One man’s trash was treasure to a Fluff!
The End
Thank you.
Thank you!

Now Ianto knows what Christmas present to offer to Nosy : a beautiful caps album ;).
Thanks for the fluff, it was really welcome.
Nosy likes making its own area of the Hub pretty. I think everyone will have to leave their bottle caps lying around now to keep Nosy from rummaging in the bins!
Thank you!

love Deb. :)
Thank you, Nosy is attracted to shiny things, lol!
Love, J xx
*Hugs the Fluff*
Bottle caps are shiny and pretty, Nosy doesn't get why Ianto threw that one in the rubbish but figures it was a mistake and managed to rescue it anyway! Cue one very happy Fluff!
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
great drabble.
I don't think it started out as collecting as such, Nosy just saw one, thought it was pretty and claimed it. Of course, then it saw another one and had to have that too... Before you know it, Nosy has a collection!
Very cute :-)
Don't know if I'll manage another drabble for the prompt though, my brain's not cooperating.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Also, I like the serentiy of the image: Ianto alone in the hub, late at night, cleaning up--it has a calm quality that you manage to capture quite beautifully.
Nosy lives, I swear, it inhabits my brain and definitely has a personality. It embodies the word 'cute' lol!
I think Ianto would like the peace and tranquilty after the noisy team members (Owen and Gwen) have left and the only sound is Jack rustling paperwork in his office, maybe Tosh tapping computer keys, and the soft sound of Nosy slithering about. It would be his time to unwind, doing simple, mindless tasks like tidying up and washing mugs, letting go of the stress of the day and looking forward to some fun with Jack!
