Angel

 

“Oh come on Ianto. You would look spectacular and you know it,’ Jack wheedled and pleaded as he followed the winged man through the Hub. 

“No. Definitely not, Sir,” Ianto replied firmly and wearily heading towards the small kitchenette. 

“Are you still going on about that, Jack?” Suzie looked up from the strange glove they’d found last week with a sympathetic smile at the young Welshman. 

“I’m not going on about it, Suzie. I just think it would be absolutely brilliant and Ianto would look stunning,” he responded. “Help me persuade him, please.” Jack gave her his best pleading expression complete with batting eyelashes. Suzie laughed. 

“No. I think you just want him to do it for your benefit only, Jack Harkness.” 

Jack pouted and turned to Tosh who had been watching. She put her hand up before he could speak. 

“And no from me as well, Jack. Leave Ianto alone,” she told him firmly. 

“Oh please Tosh. It’s his first free Christmas in years. It deserves to be celebrated,” Jack nearly whined. 

“I know it does, but doing that to him is just too much, Jack,” Tosh replied. 

“Thank you Tosh,” Ianto told her as he came back with coffee. 

“Lay off the birdman, Jack,” Owen ordered testily as he came up the stairs for his coffee. “He could lose all his feathers if you start painting them. You want him to be an angel, just get him a halo and a tree for him to sit on.” Owen grabbed his coffee and headed to his desk. 

“No trees,” Ianto stated with wide eyes. 

“I wasn’t thinking of a tree,” Jack leered and the girls groaned. Ianto blushed. 

“Owen!” Tosh scolded. “You know what Jack is like. Stop encouraging him.” 

Owen shrugged unrepentantly, grinning at the discomfited Ianto. “Got him to forget painting those wings though, didn’t it.”

A different kind of wood, Jack? *winks*

And he doesn't want a cranky Ianto on his hands, does he?

Winged Ianto is already an angel - he doesn't need his wings painting to look the part. Dark and mysterious looks better on him than snowy white would!

Love that the others are all standing up for him against their boss - even Suzie. She was a much better person before the glove corrupted her I think.

I don't know how I missed this at Christmas, but it was a great surprise finding a continuation of this verse.
Please write some more Torchwood canary.
