Short fic for the taking!

Meme from nancybrown!

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing (that I know). In return, they have to may choose to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

And by drabble, I mean something around 100 words. I'm imprecise like that.

BECAUSE I'M NICE AND BAD AT MATH - this is on livejournal and dreamwidth. If for some reason more than five of you want fic (ha!) the first five people on both sites can request. I'll do 10.

"I like mangos," Jack announced, picking one up from the display in Tesco.

"So we can buy one," Ianto said, taking the mango from Jack's hand and putting it into his shopping basket.

Jack grabbed another one and chased after Ianto, ducking to put it in the basket as Ianto kept walking. "Or two."

"Do you just plan to snack on them, or..."

"Salad. I'll cook tonight," Jack said, picking up a bag of spinach leaves as they kept going throu gh the produce section. "You have balsamic vinegar, right?"

Ianto shot him a look, and turned at the end of the aisle.

"Good point. I'll get some. Olive oil?"

Ianto rolled his eyes, and kept walking toward the freezers in the back.

"You're right, you can never have too much olive oil." Jack called after him, and turned back to find strawberries before going to get the oil and vinegar. Ianto had sugar already, of course. The one thing that Ianto always had plenty of was coffee makings. He even picked up fresh milk on his way home every few nights for emergency expresso mornings.

Food, on the other hand, was mostly take-out and pasta.

Jack considered grabbing steaks. Steak tasted great with the salad, but they already ate plenty of unhealthy food. And chicken was easy.

Jack pondered the virtues of spices versus some sort of sauce as he walked toward Ianto.

"We don't need crisps," he said, catching Ianto around the waist. Ianto's eyes darted to the side, but they were the only two in the confectionary and snacks aisle. Jack tucked a quick kiss behind Ianto's left ear.

"I'll get the chicken." Jack said, giving another squeeze before he stepped around Ianto to continue down the aisle.

He liked grocery shopping. They were getting really good at the self check-out.
