“Bet you a tenner it's not going to work” Suzie said.

Owen just winked at her, confident as hell.

“He's just a teaboy Suzie, he'll never notice.”

After an assignment the team often came back drenched in mud, blood or slimy alien substances. They usually showered at the hub, where they all had a small stack of clothes to change into.

Ianto had offered to do the laundry after every “dirty job” in order to save tons on drycleaningbills and Retcon, because sometimes even Ianto didn't know how to explain just how that amount of blood had been spilled on their garments.

Owen was startled when suddenly Ianto dropped a bag of dirty laundry on his desk.

“Owen, I believe this is yours. I think you inadvertently put it in the bin for assignment clothes.”

“I .. what?? Of course I didn't! I wore those today and yesterday. These are fieldwork casualty clothes.”

Ianto just smiled at him politely.

“I have an eye for fashion Owen, I can tell you exactly what each of you wore this week and unless you wear 3 layers of jeans and 3 T shirts a day I don't think these are from yesterday or today.” while leaving he gave Owen a few pointer, “ Don't overdo Jeans 40° is more than sufficiant, T-shirts at 60 unless indicated otherwise, your silk “pull-shirt”? Better wash that one sensitive. You can find the information on the labels inside the items. Have fun.”

He could hear Tosh chuckling in the background and Suzie came over, hand outstretched to collect her tenner.

“Outwitted by a teaboy Doctor Owen Harper? Please tell me how much it stings.”

It took Suzie and Tosh half a day to stop laughing.
