Summary: Jack enjoys playing games, especially if he can make sure he wins.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
Jack enjoyed playing games; they were a mostly enjoyable and entertaining way of reducing stress in a job where unknown, and often unimaginable, dangers could be lurking around any corner. All too often, Torchwood was the only thing standing between earth and some mysterious object, or alien army, that could potentially destroy the planet and everyone on it, so effective stress relief was a necessity, even for him.
Most of his team had their own methods of dealing with stress. Owen drank, Gwen watched mindless TV with her husband, Tosh relaxed in lavender-scented bubble baths, Ianto sorted things and cleaned, but Jack favoured games. He got a kick out of winning, even if he didn’t always play strictly by the rules.
He’d give most games a try, but he preferred those that required two players, and had invented a strip version of practically every game ever invented. His all-time favourite, however, was naked hide and seek. It was a game he’d invented himself, an achievement he was rather proud of, and he was a skilled player, almost unbeaten, mostly because he kept changing the rules.
Sneaking silently towards where he knew Ianto was hiding, Jack prepared to claim his prize.
The End
