200-word Doctor Who ficlet: "Sucker", PG (Jack/Eleven)

[shinodabear.livejournal.com]

Title Sucker
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Rating/Warnings: PG Spoilers for casting of eleventh doctor.
Pairing: Eleven/Jack (pre-slash/innuendo)
Disclaimer: I cannot believe I am attempting 11 before the new guy gets to. It’s odd, but it still doesn’t make him mine.



Jack observed the Doctor sitting on the end of the dock, his trousers rolled up to his knees and his legs swinging back and forth. With his hands splayed out on the old wood behind him, he looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. There was a lollipop wedged in one cheek, but he didn’t appear interested in eating it. The setting sun was enough.

As Jack approached, the Doctor turned to him and looked up. He switched his sucker to the other cheek. Jack smiled, forgetting his concern over his sudden appearance. “I’d offer you that drink, but I might be too old for you.” Jack joked. “Not that that would stop me.”

The Doctor rolled his eyes.

“I’m glad I caught you before you left.”

“Mm. Yes. Well,” The Doctor twirled the pop with his tongue, then stood and shrugged on his coat and wrapped his scarf around his neck. “Coming, then?”

The Doctor was halfway down the dock before Jack realized he’d just been invited to travel again. He called out after the Doctor who turned, still smirking around his lollipop. “Yeah?”

“You get cheekier every regeneration!” Jack laughed and jogged to catch up.

Now, if Eleven were to suck lollipops, I might be able to stomach watching the show... maybe. If Jack was going to be the companion, I'd be there like a shot. I like your view of future!Who. *g*

Thank you! It's the wait that's a killer. A whole year or so before I get to know for sure if I liked him/hated him. Lollipops would help. ;P (Jack would help more, though. There have been rumours, of course, but I don't think it'll happen.)
