A/N: Another one with two versions.

Drabble Version

“How could you?” Ianto asked reproachfully. “That was the last piece of my birthday cake, I was really looking forward to it, but all that’s left are crumbs. Is it so much to ask that I get one measly slice of my own cake? I’m all for sharing, but everyone was helping themselves like there was an inexhaustible supply. I thought you’d have some consideration even if nobody else did.”

Nosy looked suitably remorseful.

“What’s up?” Jack asked.

“Nosy ate the last piece of my cake,” Ianto replied mournfully.

“No it didn’t; I saved you some, it’s in the cupboard.”

The End

Extended Version

“How could you? You know better than to take things without asking, or at least you should!” Ianto glared reproachfully at the miscreant, his eyes full of hurt. “That was the last piece of my birthday cake and I was really looking forward to it, but instead when I come to eat it, all that’s left are a few crumbs. Is it so much to ask that I get one measly slice of my own cake? I’m all for sharing, but everybody else was helping themselves like there was an inexhaustible supply. I thought you’d have some consideration even if no one else did.”

Nosy looked suitably remorseful.

“What’s up?” Jack asked, wandering over.

“Nosy stole the last piece of my cake,” Ianto replied mournfully.

“No it didn’t; when I saw how fast the cake was going, I saved you some. It’s hidden in the top cupboard.”

Jack fully deserved the enthusiastic kiss he got for that bit of foresight!
