Owen's first, Ianto's second.
Waking up still tired, Ianto sighs and pushes back the covers. At that moment his phone rings, sighing again he reaches for it to see who is calling.
"Hello Owen, what is it?" Ianto answers happy to be talking to the medic. Since Jack has been gone he has been ringing him and keeping him company a lot, which Ianto is very grateful for, and they have become extremely close.
"Hi tea boy, does there need to be a reason for me to ring?" Owens voice comes from the other end of the phone.
Ianto chuckles, "Of course not Owen" he says rolling his eyes.
"Don't you roll you eyes at me Ianto,"
"How did you…" Ianto begins to say but Owen cuts him off before he can finish.
"Because I know that tone and when you use that tone you end up rolling you eyes… now when will you be in today? I need to talk to you about something." Owen says.
Ianto hearing the urgency and nervousness in his voice begins to get worried. "What is it Owen? Has something happened?"
"No tea boy nothing has happened, everything is fine. Just get in here ok?" Owen sighs into the phone.
"Alright fine, be there soon."
"Ok good. See you then." Owen says then hangs up.
Ianto shrugs wondering what could be so urgent that Owen needs to tell him right now but couldn't tell him over the phone. He goes for a quick shower and chucks on his best suit, looking at himself briefly in the bathroom mirror. 'Why do I care so much about how I look today? Its only Owen…' and leaves the bathroom, heading back into his bedroom to put on his shoes, grabbing his phone off the bed from where he tossed it after the phone call with Owen. Stopping in the kitchen on his way to the door, he makes a coffee to drink on the way in one of his take away paper cups. Three minutes later, he's heading out the door, locking it on the way out, and to his car.
Meanwhile, Owen is pacing around the Med Bay beginning to freak out. 'Oh god! What if he doesn't feel the same and it ruins what we have now? He is the only guy I have had feelings for. Oh god! Why does this have to be so difficult?' He thinks to himself not paying attention to anything going on around him.
"Owen? You alright?" Gwen says standing at the top of the stairs watching him pace around.
Shaking himself out of his thoughts he turns and looks up at Gwen. "Uh yeah thanks Gwen, is there something you want?"
Gwen lets out a sigh knowing something was up but not wanting to push, "Oh uh just wanted to let you know that I have plans today with Rhys so will be leaving a bit early for lunch."
Nodding, Owen smiles up at her, "Ok thanks for letting me know. Anything else?"
"Nope." She says popping the p.
"Ok right, if you don't mind I have things to do." Owen replies thinking about what he has to do.
"Alright then Owen, well if you need me just call." She smiles at him and leaves.
'Yeah like I will need you!' He thinks to himself laughing quietly, and then gets to work doing his paper work on the last case they had done to pass the time till Ianto arrives.
Some time later the cog door alarm goes off signaling that someone has come through. Owen starts to panic knowing it is Ianto and waits for the tea boy to come down to him. He doesn't have to wait long as he hears footsteps up above him a few minutes later.
"Ok I am here! What is it that you need to talk to me about that you couldn't say on the phone?"
Owen, real nervous now, starts to fidget with his pen that is sitting in front of him on the desk. "Hello to you too!" He smirks trying to act normal. "Ok uh well come down here and sit down Ianto." He points to the chair beside him and watches as Ianto walks down the stairs towards him and that seat.
"Ok now talk Owen, what is it?" Ianto asks once sitting down next to the medic.
Owen takes a deep breath and braces himself for the worst. "Uh well … uh this isn't easy for me to say … so I am just going to come out with it. I think I might like you …" He gets out nervously not looking at the man beside him. Suddenly he hears movement, thinking that Ianto is getting up to leave, he risks a glance to where Ianto is sitting and finds Ianto looking at him with a shocked look on his face.
"What do you mean Owen? I thought you only liked woman?"
'Me too.' Owen thinks to himself. "I did… do… but your different. At first I thought I was just imagining it, but a few times I have wanted to … anyway yeah your just different."
Ianto is silent for a few minutes, causing Owen to panic again. Ianto obviously sees something on his face and speaks. "I think I do too, I mean … I can talk to you about everything and…" he pauses, "I haven't been able to do that with anyone, not even Jack."
Owen smiles a bit at that information, "Oh can you now?" he smirks flirtingly. 'Oh god now I am flirting! What am I doing?'
"Yep I can, and whenever I am around you I feel happy … and just this morning after you rang… I was worried about how I looked. I wanted to look my best, for you." Ianto smiles, starting to blush.
Owen grins, "So what do we do? Shall we … you know, try us? Or do we just stay friends and see where it goes? Or what?"
Ianto is silent for a moment, thinking. "Uh well what do you want to do? If I am going to be your first … uh boyfriend, we are both going to have to want it."
Owen nods thoughtfully. "I want it, do you?" Answering straight away.
Ianto smirks at the fast response, "Are you sure? I mean if you haven't been … with a man before are you going to be comfortable with it? If we do this?"
'Well of course not … you will be my first, but I want to be with you,' Owen thinks then says out loud, "I am sure Ianto, I want us …" Owen smiles softly at him.
"Ok then well I want us too. So how do you want to do this? Shall we tell everyone or keep it between us for now? Do you want to tell them?"
"Uh I hadn't thought about that, um… well I guess we can tell 'em, that is if you want to?" Owen asks and reaches forward and places a hand on Ianto's, which is resting on his thigh.
Smiling, Ianto nods, "Ok then, that's sorted! We can take things slowly since this will all be new to you…and I wont force or make you do anything you are not comfortable with."
Owen nods, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank you tea boy, just because we are together don't expect me to stop teasing you." He laughs going back to his normal self now that everything is good.
"Oh I bet you wont, but it is ok I love it when you do." Ianto blushes again.
"Oh you are so adorable when you blush, have to make you blush more often I think…" Owen chuckles and leans forward, closer to the Welshman, making him blush more.
"Oi! Stop that!" Ianto yells playfully.
"Or what?" Owen smirks back.
"Or I will do this…" and Ianto leans forward and kisses the medic.
Owen responds instantly deepening the kiss. Breaking apart a few minutes later, they both look at each other, grinning.
"Oh I will definitely keep doing it then if that's the punishment I get!"
"Oh it wont always be a good punishment…be warned." Ianto smirks.
Owen grins happily, "I am sure I can handle whatever you throw my way tea boy!"
"What about decaf then?"
Owen instantly goes silent.
"Didn't think so. Now come on there is stuff to do!" he chuckles starting to get up.
"That's not fair, you know how much I love your coffee! That is by far the worst punishment you could give me!" Owen complains.
Ianto grins back. "Oh I know, that's the point in punishment … it's meant to be bad." Then he adds, "But don't worry I couldn't do that to you when you do that look."
Just then, Gwen walks in. "Owen? What's all the shouting for?" she shouts from the top of the stairs.
Sighing, both men pull apart looking up at her. Owen is the first to speak.
"Uh Gwen? Me …" he pauses looking at Ianto who nods so he continues, "and Ianto have something to tell you. Meeting room in ten minutes, tell Tosh too."
"Uh alright? What is it?"
"Ten minutes Gwen! You heard Owen, now go inform Tosh." Ianto says clearly annoyed.
Once she leaves Owen lets out a sigh, "Thanks for that… she has been bugging me all day."
"I can imagine, she doesn't know when to stop." Ianto says, sadness in his voice.
Owen looks up at him from his chair, seeing the frustration in his face, he stands up and pulls the Welshman into his arms, holding him tight. "Hey, it will be ok, she wont come between us. I wont let her, ok? Besides if she still had feelings for me she would of made another move on me by now." Then adds to himself, 'Not that I would of noticed, been to busy figuring out my feelings for you.'
"But she still makes eyes at you, have you not noticed?"
"To be honest tea boy, no I haven't. I don't really pay attention to her anymore, unless I need to or she is talking to me about something to do with work." Owen shrugs, feeling Ianto relax a little in his arms. "I will talk to her about it after the meeting, if you want?"
Ianto pulls back a bit, looking at Owen. "It's ok, I am sure once we tell her our news she will stop."
They stand there, silently for a few minutes before Ianto sighs taking a deep breath.
"Time to go up there…" He says, pulling away and glancing upstairs.
"Yes come on tea boy! Race you?" Owen smiles trying to bring back the mood from before back.
"Oh sure, on three." Ianto grins.
"Ok, what will I get when I win?"
Ianto chuckles, "You can do whatever you like for the rest of the day. Right ready?" Owen nods liking that idea already thinking of a few ideas.
"Ok. One… Two…" Ianto laughs and he starts to run towards the stairs. "Three!"
"Oi that's cheating! Get back here tea boy!" Owen shouts after him, grinning. At that he takes off up the stairs and catches up with him, smirking. "Meet you in there!" and runs off in front of him.
Minutes later, Ianto runs into the meeting room trying to catch his breath and is greeted by a smirking Owen. "What took you so long?" he chuckles.
"I thought I would let you win seeing as how I cheated." Ianto manages to get out smiling, and then sees that Tosh and Gwen were already both here sitting down, watching them curiously.
Tosh speaks then, "Ok guys what is this about? Is everything ok?"
Owen looks at Tosh smiling. "Uh well Ianto and I… we have some news," He glances at his Welshman briefly, just long enough to catch the proud grin on his face. Grinning himself, he turns back to the other two. "Uh well as you both know, I have been spending a lot of time in the last month with Ianto, making sure he is coping with Jack leaving alright and keeping an eye on him. Anyway to the point, we have gotten really close and uh…" he pauses glancing at Ianto hoping he would help say it.
Ianto obviously sees this and steps in. "What he is trying to say is that we are now together…"
Gwen looks from Owen to Ianto in shock, "But I thought you only liked woman, Owen?"
Owen stiffens slightly at the question, and turns to Gwen. "I do Gwen, its just Ianto, he's different." He turns to Ianto smiling at him. Ianto smiles back
