Why have I just found your boxers in the bread bin?

A/N This is yet another Conby fic, oh I do love those two :) and I don't know whether or not to make this a one shot or carry it on in other chapters… please review to tell me what you think x

I stormed into the living room, washing basket in my hands and stopped in front of Connor.

"Why, Connor, why have I just found your boxers in the bread bin?"

He looked from me to the boxers innocently, "It just, y'know, keeps 'em warm." he mumbled as he took the boxers from my hand.

"Find somewhere else for them okay Connor?"

He nodded grimly before scurrying into his bed room quickly and I found myself frowning as I watched him leave. I don't know why I let him stay here, I really don't. He leaves his stuff everywhere, doesn't pay the rent and refuses to help me with the washing up or any other kind of mind-numbingly boring chore. Not to mention the fact that he is such a control freak about the TV; we always have to watch some science-fiction programme or a special on Star Wars and he takes forever to get ready in the mornings, usually making me late.

I continued to ponder just exactly why I let such a pain stay with me when he strolled back into the room, smiling at me nervously before plonking himself back down on the sofa.

It took a few moments before he realised that I was unintentionally staring at him and looked over at me questioningly, "You Ok Abs?"

"Hmm? Oh yeh, fine, just- never mind." and I sighed and walked away to put the washing on.

"Abby wait, let me-"I hadn't heard him stand up and follow me out of the room, I was still deep in thought I guess, but soon noticed how his hands were held out expectantly.

I finally realised what he was waiting for and smiled appreciatively handing over the washing basket, but stopped to ask him something quickly, "Are you sure you know how to do this Connor? Have you even used a washing machine before?"

But before I had the chance to take the washing back he just winked at me and walked confidently out of the room.

And I smiled; maybe there were some reasons for keeping him here after all…
