A/N: Double drabble.
There’d been dry weather recently, so while Ianto was indoors with the windows open, doing a spot of cleaning, Jack was outside in the back garden, mowing the lawn.
Since moving into Ianto’s small end of terrace house, Jack had enthusiastically embraced domestic life, helping to make the bed every morning, doing his share of the cooking, learning how to use the washing machine, and practically dragging Ianto to the supermarket to buy groceries. Now, at long last, he was finally being allowed to work in the garden and he was loving it. Things had changed a lot since he last lived in a house.
A loud bang from outside brought Ianto running and he dashed through the open French windows to find Jack standing, bemused, holding a length of orange cable in each hand.
He looked sheepishly at Ianto. “I think I broke your lawnmower. I was mowing, and then… BANG!”
“Yes, I heard. DON’T DO THAT!” Ianto yelped as Jack experimentally shoved the two chewed cable ends together.
“I’m only trying to fix it!”
“This is why I have a circuit-breaker on the plug. The last thing I need is you electrocuting yourself in front of the neighbours!”
The End
