Comment Fic - Out Of Coffee

[badly_knitted]

This was written in reply to a prompt by totally4ryo in a comment fic thread in honour of Ianto's birthday, over on the LJ community tw_classic. Find it here: tw-classic.livejournal.com/164185.html

The prompt was: Ianto swore there was still enough coffee beans for a few more days only to discover none. What happened to all the beans?

Title: Out Of Coffee

Ianto was feeling rather miffed. "Okay, who's been at the coffee beans? I know I had enough to last until saturday, but the bag's gone. Whoever it was, make it easy on yourself, own up now and maybe I won't put you on decaf."

"Wasn't me," Jack answered hurriedly, "Honest! I haven't been near your beans. I wouldn't. Not after what you threatened me with last time." He shuddered dramatically.

"Ummm, that was all the coffee you had left?" Owen asked hesitantly.

"Yes, Owen," snapped Ianto, "Every last bean."

Owen shuffled his feet.

"Owen, what did you do?" Ianto advanced menacingly on the shorter man.

"It wasn't my fault. Not Really."

"What. Did. You. Do?"

"I was tryin' to reach the biscuits you hide at the back of the top cupboard. I knocked the bag of coffee beans onto the floor and it split, the beans went everywhere. I went to get a brush to sweep them up, but..."

"But?"

"Nosy cleared them up before I got back."

"And by 'cleared them up', you mean?"

"It ate them."

"All of them?"

"Every last one!"

"Oh my God..."

"HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Something long, green and very fluffy zoomed past at alarming speed.

"Wonderful, just wonderful," muttered Ianto, "How do we deal with an over-caffeinated alien?"

"Dunno," said Jack, "but here it comes again!"

Oh, I love it. How long will it take for him to come down, what happens next?

[badly_knitted]

I have no idea - and neither do they! Possibly, Nosy will just zoom round and round the Hub until the caffeine wears off, then fall asleep.

I suspect Ianto will be more careful with his coffee beans in future though!

*wordlessly points at icon while cleaning iced tea off the monitor* Why do I think that 'hum' should be imagined with the 'zoom' sounds from Warner Brother's cartoons?

[badly_knitted]

Perhaps because it should, that's sort of what I was aiming for ;)

Sorry you had to clean your monitor! When I saw the prompt it was just irresistible - Nosy + coffee beans = supercharged fluffy alien. Poor Nosy, it was only trying to be helpful, but it is very happy at the moment and very lively. Quite literally full of beans =P

Love it!!!!! Owen shuffling his feet had me giggling!

[badly_knitted]

Heehee! Owen reminds me of a naughty schoolboy sometimes.

You found my mini Nosy-fic =)

I'm planning to post it on LJ later, but if you get a chance, go to the original thread, there are still unclaimed prompts and there are some great stories too! They really shouldn't be missed!

Nosey is back - yay!

[socalrose]

A new Nosey story! It was short but very fun to read.

I hope you're writing more soon!

Welcome back Nosey!

Re: Nosey is back - yay!

Well, I just couldn't resist the prompt, it fitted Nosy far too perfectly!

Sorry this was so short, but I am working on the next proper (and quite a bit longer) Nosy fic. Don't know when it will be finished, but I'm trying, promise!

[kul_breez]

Speedy Nosy sounds like fun! Loved it!

[badly_knitted]

Fun for Nosy, I suspect, but probably less fun for the team who had to keep jumping out of the way to avoid being bowled over! Of course, then the caffeine wore off suddenly and Nosy fell asleep mid-zoom and is currently snoring quietly, stretched out across the Hub so everyone has to step over it!

One day, I will get back to writing the next Nosy-verse fic, but life has been just a bit chaotic lately!

I am laughing so hard! Zoomy Nosy!

*grins* The prompt was irresistible. Over-caffeinated Fluffs are speed demons.

Thank you!
