Very silly short fic for a friend
A mate is bored, trying to kill hours in an airport, and wants amusing. I offered to write her fic if she gave me a prompt., She said her brain was too addled by boredom to think of a prompt and she was currently staring at people removing paint markings and it was only slightly more interesing than watching paint dry.
So she got this: (don't own it, no ratings, spoilers etc.)
“Whatcha doing?” Jack swaggered over to Ianto who was staring at the CCTV screen.
“Watching a road crew burn off red route markings.”
“Oh.” said Jack, slightly taken aback. “Is it fun?”
“About as much fun as watching paint dry.”
“Right.” Jack felt quite uncharacteristically wrong footed. He was clearly missing something but didn’t know what and Ianto still hadn’t taken his eyes off the screen.
“So, ah, why are you watching them burn off the red route markings?”
“Because I haven’t got anything else to do right now.”
Jack gave a lecherous grin. “Well, if you haven’t got anything else to do I can think of much better ways to occupy your time than wasting it on red routes.…”
Ianto finally turned his head, but his look was stern. “But that’s the point Jack. I can’t remember the last time I had enough nothing-to-do time to waste it. Now go away and let me watch; there’s quite a tricky corner coming up.”
