Summary: Owen doesn't like his punishment. A double drabble.


Owen sulked as he looked down at the mug placed in front of him. Opposite him, Jack's expression wasn't much happier.

'It's not fair,' Owen moped, giving the decaffeinated coffee in front of him a disdainful scowl. 'I was only following orders.'

Jack snorted. 'And since when do you ever bother with following orders?' he replied, lifting the mug to his lips and sipping. His face told Owen everything he needed to know about how bad it was.

This is what he got for throwing in his lot with Jack, Owen thought, carrying his mug over to the sink and tipping it straight down the drain. Jack had his pride and would drink it, but Owen had his self respect and would let some puffed up Teaboy decide whether he was allowed to have normal coffee like the rest of them.

'You didn't like it?' Ianto asked, not even looking smug about it.

'No one said I had to drink it, just because you think it's fair punishment.'

Ianto shrugged. 'Suit yourself. Only a week to go.'

Owen grumbled all the way down to his medical bay. He'd get his own back. This week he had team physicals to conduct.

Careful, Owen, if you piss Ianto off even more you might never get the good coffee again.
