[On the Plane is the interior of a bridal shop.

At one end of the shop, in the maternity section, is Ianto. He's currently preoccupied with looking in the mirror in front of him, holding one of the maternity dresses against himself like so.

Slightly more to the norm is the irritated expression on his face. The salesman at this particular shop can be blamed for that.

Really. What's the world coming to when you can't buy a wedding dress for a friend without people making stupid assumptions?

Apparently deciding that this dress isn't to his Gwen's liking, he hangs it back on the rack. It only takes him a moment to pick out another one, and then it's back to holding the dress up to himself in front of the mirror.]

((Canon bump. Again. This time to Something Borrowed.))

[Have a Bai peeking over your shoulder Ianto] That's nice.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Makes a vague noise of agreement, not taking his eyes away from the mirror.] Nicer than the last one I looked at, anyway. Problem with maternity dresses is that it's a nightmare to get hold of one as good as an ordinary wedding dress.

[Yeah, Bai will be giving him a quick glance up and down at the "maternity" bit and very slowly coming to the conclusion that it isn't for him, human males don't usually get pregnant after all] ...Who is getting married then?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...Have a barely noticible twitch. He has a faint suspicion that she might have made the same mistake as the sales assistant did. Also, you're wrong, Bai. See: Jack.]

My friend. Gwen. Things took a bit of an unexpected turn, and she's in need of a new dress.

[There's nothing to be ashamed of Ianto! Bai approves of people wearing pretty dresses no matter who they are, And Bai would like to meet and impregnate this Jack person, if he means that she could carry on her genes and yet never have to see the little brats again] She suddenly got pregnant?

{lol wut}

It doesn't suit you.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[:|]

It isn't for me.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Then why are you holding it up to yourself?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Because the friend I'm buying it for is currently unavailable, and I don't have any other way of seeing how it will look when it's being worn.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well looking at it on yourself isn't going to help. What does she look like? I might be able to help you more with that.

{Dresses are very important!!}

[Juliet is watching pretty interested. Yes. Then opens his mouth to say something... But he just can't make it because the scene is kind of... amusing. So this is a stifled chuckle.]

Oh my~~

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto is not amused. He glances over at Juliet, very obviously irritated.]

What?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Smiles sweetly, after he collected himself. The fact that Ianto is irritated makes it far more better.]

Something with more lace, and deeper cleavage would be a much better choice for the... occasion, don't you think~~?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He folds his arms, letting the dress hang over one of them.]

Do I look like I'm shopping for myself?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Don't have to hide it, it's not a bad thing~! I knew you had it in you~

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

You're gonna go and try and pull off strapless? Sorta risky, but it could work. So whose the lucky guy?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm not wearing it! Do I look like I need a maternity dress to you?

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

Hey, gotta keep an open mind with all the stuff we see. Coulda just gotten the happy news and you're a long term planner.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It's really not for me. In the unlikely event I ever did get married, I can assure you I wouldn't be wearing a dress. Especially not a maternity dress.

[shewalks-away.livejournal.com]

That's a relief, cause between us, not sure you could pull it off. I was just being nice, didn't want to spoil your fun.

So if it's not yours, who's it for?

[mercwamouth]

When's it due?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I'm not pregnant.

[mercwamouth]

Why would I think you're pregnant? Clearly the chick you knocked up and decided to marry is pregnant.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You seem to be the first one who hasn't assumed the dress is for me.

But I've neither 'knocked anyone up' as you put it, nor decided to marry them. I'm doing this as a favour for a friend.

[mercwamouth]

I thought girls usually cream themselves over this stuff.
