Summary: Jack has a question for Ianto.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
“Do you think I’d look good with a beard?” Jack asked his husband one morning, turning away from the bathroom mirror, the lower half of his face a thick mass of creamy shaving foam.
Ianto raised an eyebrow. “Hard to say. Can you even grow a beard?” Jack had a lot less body hair than the average twenty-first century man, and what he did have seemed to grow more slowly as well. “Right now, you look like Santa Claus gone wrong.”
Jack pouted from amid the foam. “Of course I could grow a beard! I’d just need to stimulate the hair follicles with a special compound so it would come in thicker. And it wouldn’t be white.” He turned back to the mirror. “I think a neatly cultivated beard would make me look distinguished.”
Ianto just stared at his husband. “So you’re basically saying you’d have to put hair fertiliser on your chin to make a beard grow?”
“It’s not fertiliser!” Jack insisted. “It’s hair food, it encourages stronger and thicker hair growth. I use it on my hair all the time.”
“You feed your hair.” An amused grin tugged at Ianto’s lips. “Well, that certainly explains a few things.”
The End
