torchwood100Summary: Owen and Ianto's biggest problems are each other. A double drabble.
'That doesn't go there,' Ianto said as Owen screwed up a ball of paper that had been the beginnings of his report before he'd given up on and decided to start over. Owen had aimed for Tosh's waste basket but it had bounced off the rim and rolled away to nestle up against the coffee table. Ianto just happened to be walking by at the time, hands already full with the tray of empty mugs and plates from lunch.
'I'll get it later.'
'No, you won't. You'll just hope I'll come back for it, pick it up and put it in the bin where it belongs so that you don't have to.'
Owen huffed loudly. 'You know what your problem is?'
'Pretty sure it doesn't take a doctor to diagnose, has four letters and starts with O,' Ianto replied, antagonising him even further.
'Just because you've got nothing better to do with your day than dusting and polishing,' Owen snapped. 'Some of us have real work to do.'
'Ianto! My office now!' came Jack's booming voice, cutting over the top of their conversation.
'Sounds like Jack needs a dusting and a polishing,' Ianto quipped.
Owen glowered at him. 'Smart arse.'
