Summary: Owen can't even have a quiet drink by himself. A double drabble.

Owen groaned as he heard the all too familiar laugh somewhere behind him. He tipped his beer back, taking several large swallows before turning around on the bar stool to find not just Jack standing there, but Ianto as well.

'I'm off the clock,' Owen declared. 'World can end for all I care.'

Jack slipped into the seat next to him. 'So are we.'

'So, why are you here?'

Jack frowned at him. 'What? We're not allowed to have a drink to wind down after a long week?'

'It's Tuesday.'

Ianto eased his jacket off, setting it neatly on the back of the seat. 'And we've been going for eleven days straight. Good as a Friday night if you ask me.'

Owen snorted. 'All the bars on Cardiff and you chose this one?'

Ianto shrugged. 'It's the closest.'

Owen watched as Ianto's order was filled, one bottle of lager and a glass of water. He snorted. 'You're such a lightweight, Harkness.'

'Hey, back in the day I could down six hypervodkas and still walk a straight line. I'd drink you under the table any day.'

'Bollocks.'

'Challenge accepted.'

Ianto coughed. 'Owen has to work tomorrow.'

'Can it, Teaboy. You're on.'

Oh I so need to see what happens next :)

I foresee terrible hangovers and Ianto having to do all the work.

Ianto's day off may be scuppered by their drinking games. He'll be nursing one or both of them tomorrow.
