“Spider, spider get it-get it” Ianto urged
“It’s a spider you wuss” Owen said rolling his eyes
“Well I don’t see you running to get it do I?” Ianto spat back
“For Christ sake…” Owen muttered taking an empty glass and a piece of card to trap said spider.
“Look it can’t hurt you,” Owen said waving it about in Ianto’s face “woops” he said and pretended to slip.
Ianto fell backwards over the chair and landed in a less than dignified lump, glaring up at Owen, who found it all too good to be true and burst out laughing.
“Oh I’m glad you find it amusing” Ianto said his voice oozing venom at the doctor
“I think I’ll keep him as a pet” Owen said inspecting the spider in the glass
“That’s cruel, and you can’t possibly know it’s a ‘him’” Ianto said brushing the dust off his jacket.
“Well I’m keeping ‘it’ then” Owen said over his shoulder putting the glass down on his workstation
“Don’t expect me to clean your desk up” Ianto said in all seriousness
“Wuss” Owen started
“Tosser”
“Puff”
“Twat”
“Dick-weed”
“Arse-face”
“Cu-”
“Are you two at it again?” Jack called from the balcony above
“Yes” the men firmly replied in unison
“Fair enough” Jack said turning to go back into his office, knowing better than to get involved
Ianto and Owen continued to glare at one another for a brief spell before they went about their respective business.
Fifteen minuets later Ianto entered Jacks office with a fresh coffee.
“Coffee sir,” he said placing it in front of Jack who look at the end of his tether with the expense report “sir, if you don’t mind me saying all you have to do is sign it”
“Really?”
“Yes, I’ve done it all, all you’ve ever needed to do is to sign it…is this why you always take an age doing the expenses; checking it”
“…Yes” Jack said foolishly
“For future reference there’s no need. What’s the point in worrying that pretty head for nothing?”
“You think I’m pretty” Jack said with a smirk
Ianto rolled his eyes
“So tell me, so I can worry my pretty head over something else; why where you and Owen having your ritual daily argument”
“Oh it’s nothing, as you say its ritual” Ianto said quickly
“And it doesn’t have anything to do with that spider on his desk”
“It may have been the catalyst”
“Really?” Jack said raising an eyebrow, showing Ianto he didn’t buy it
“I’m just scared of spiders and Owen was been a tosser about it” Ianto said quickly to end the humiliation in one go
“You’re scared of spiders?”
“Yes”
“Yet you spend most of your days in the archives which must be infested with them?”
“Why do you think I only put a single light on, if I can’t see them its not as bad”
“I’m learning a lot about you today”
“Indeed, now are you satisfied with my maths?”
“More than even, so why are you scared?”
“You’re not going to let this lie are you?”
Jack shook his head
“I just am, always have been. It’s something about their creepiness. And their scurrying’s in the dark. And the way they jump out quickly with that look in their eyes.”
Jack looked perplexed
“It’s an irrational fear, buts it’s my irrational fear”
“You survived numerous invasions of earth, but a spider can spoil your whole day”
“Oh you just wait and see something will go tits up”
“I think it’s sweet”
“You think its sweet I have arachnophobia?”
“No I think its sweet that your flustered about it; you ramble and pace around and your hair goes slightly odd when you run your hand through it, kind of just stays there and never goes back”
“You’re in a very observant mood aren’t you?”
“Where you’re concerned: always.”
“I’m telling you something will happen I’d put a wager on it”
“Ooo, I like wagers, now what are we wagering? Sexual favours, money, day off?”
“All of the above, providing the boss takes the day off as well” Ianto said reaching out a hand for Jack to shake to seal the bet
“Deal” Jack said and mock spat on his hand before going to reach for Ianto’s
“You can get that washed for a start” Ianto protested pulling his hand back
“Fine” Jack said and reached out with his other hand
“Deal”
They shook on it. Jack was about to pull Ianto in for a quick snog when there was a knock on the door.
“Erm, guys…” Owen said coming into the office shyly “slight problem”
Jack turned to Ianto who wore a very smug look on his face even though Jack was glaring at him.
“I’m not saying a word...except to request tomorrow off” Ianto said a beat after the lights went out but Jack could tell he was still grinning from ear to ear.
