Author: m_findlow
Characters: Tosh, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 621 - Money at tw100
Notes: Shopping is more fun when you don't have to worry about the cost. A double drabble.

Tosh toyed with the racks of clothes in the shop. 'Sometimes I don't know why we do this, she said, turning to face Ianto.'

'What, treat ourselves to an afternoon of iced coffee and retail therapy?' He smirked, sipping on the straw, clutching a dozen bags in his other hand.

'No, the outing and spending time with you away from work part I like,' Tosh clarified. 'It's the amount of money we always end up spending.'

'Well, we do go through a lot of clothes in our line of work.'

She chuckled. 'Makes you think we should stop wasting good money on clothes with a limited shelf life. This blouse is worth an entire day's pay and it might last about as long.'

'It still looks lovely,' Ianto argued, 'and why not enjoy what you wear? For all the crap we put up with, there must be some consolation.'

Tosh pulled another blouse off the rack, this one a pale pink. 'I think Jack enjoys your clothes more than you do.'

'I doubt that. I enjoy putting them on. Jack enjoys taking them off.'

She smiled. 'Okay, so which one? The pink or the blue?'

'Both. We can afford it.'
