[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.))

...How, exactly?

[mercwamouth]

...Babies are cute?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Alien babies aren't. Not usually, anyway.

[mercwamouth]

Racist.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, they aren't. Have you ever seen an alien baby?

[mercwamouth]

I've seen Mexican babies.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

And you say I'm racist.

[mercwamouth]

So who's the father?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Some sort of shape shifter. Owen's cutting him open so we can find out exactly which species we're dealing with.

[mercwamouth]

Skrull?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Don't know yet. Possibly. With any luck Owen'll have a definite answer when I get back from buying the dress.

[mercwamouth]

Well he won't have much luck figuring it out while you're here.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, no. But I'm not buying it with that salesman hanging around giving people the wrong idea about why I'm buying it.

[mercwamouth]

For someone who wears pink shirts, you're pretty self-conscious.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Wearing pink shirts doesn't hold quite the same level of implication of wearing dresses.

[mercwamouth]

Same ballpark.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Not really. Plenty of completely heterosexual men where pink, and I'm sure the same could be said of dresses.

If I wore dresses I wouldn't mind the implication. But I don't, and I don't appreciate people assuming things.

[mercwamouth]

Touchy touchy.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't you be? At the very least I'd look at ones in my size.

[mercwamouth]

I run around in a skin-tight costume that doesn't leave much to the imagination. A dress might be an upgrade for some people.
