Warnings: none
Spoilers: none
Summary: Ianto gets his first look at Jack's wardrobe and makes a less than surprising realisation.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.

Ianto let out a long breath as he opened the wardrobe door and set the freshly dry cleaned clothes inside. Jack had never let him come down here before, but somehow he'd coerced Jack into letting him sort out his laundry. Ironic that it had taken this long really, given his penchant for destroying clothes. If he'd know Jack was just buying new shirts instead of washing them, he'd have stepped in ages ago.

Blue. Every last shirt in the wardrobe was blue. It shouldn't come as a surprise. He saw Jack every day, but he liked to think that maybe there were other options, and that he merely chose not to wear them.

Pawing through someone else's personal effects felt wrong, but he couldn't help his curiosity. He brushed a hand over the long row of shirts and pants, blue and grey. They even smelled like Jack despite being freshly laundered.  

'Like what you see?' came the voice from behind him. He spun quickly, feeling guilty.

'It's very, ah... blue.' God, he sounded like such a twat.

'I like blue,' Jack replied. He folded his arms and smiled. 'You don't like me in blue?'

Oh, such a loaded question.

It does make a lot of sense when you know just how many decisions Jack would have to make in a day - some of them life or death - it would be a relief to never have to make a decision about what to wear each morning.

Or he could get another wife - oh look, he did. Waves at Ianto.

He does, but he can't say that at this point. Given time he'll like Jack even better out of his clothes ;)
