A very short Torchlock ficlet for superwholock fanwork friday:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are doing this again?\u201d John stared out the window<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you encouraged me to make \u2018help Mycroft more\u2019 a New Year\u2019s resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy Cardiff?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTorchwood Three.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell is a Torchwood?\u201d John looked at him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instead of answering Sherlock lapsed into silence.<\/p>\n
A short time later they were in front of a plain building. \u201cSherlock this is a tourist office,\u201d John grumbled as he followed the detective inside. The good looking young man behind the desk looked too proper in a suit.<\/p>\n
\u201cSherlock Holmes. I believe Jack Harkness is expecting me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Before the man could respond another good looking man stepped in from the back. Was devastating good looks a job requirement?<\/p>\n
\u201cMycroft mentioned you coming, but not those pretty eyes,\u201d Jack smiled and offered his hand. \u201cCaptain Jack Harkness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next to them the other man pulled out a stopwatch and pressed the button. \u201cSeventeen minutes. Your resolution to stop flirting so much, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh come on Ianto, that\u2019s hardly fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
He rolled his eyes. \u201cI\u2019ll get coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTea, if you have it,\u201d said John. \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ianto vanished into the back. Jack turned his smile to John. The doctor suddenly felt like he was at the center of the universe as he shook his hand. \u201cYou must be John Watson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sherlock took his arm and pulled him back before John could respond. \u201cI understand we\u2019re picking up a package?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, just some things that need to be hand carried to London.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ianto reappeared with mugs. John was surprised by the perfection of his tea.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpending the night in Cardiff?\u201d asked Jack.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d answered Sherlock shortly, looking between Jack and John.<\/p>\n
\u201cPity. Dinner?\u201d<\/p>\n
John smiled. Sherlock shook his head. \u201cNo, sorry, we really must be heading back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ianto took out a package from behind the desk and a pen. \u201cJust sign for it, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sherlock did so while hardly taking his eyes off anyone else. \u201cCome along, John.\u201d He tucked the package into his coat and steered John out of the building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
