Jealousy Tactics
Chapter One- The Plan
"So what should I do Ianto?" asked Tosh.
They were sitting in a café and drinking coffee. It wasn't as good as Ianto's but it was alright. Tosh needed help with her Owen problem and as Ianto was the closest she was to, she had decided to ask him for help.
Ianto just shrugged, "Tosh, honey, I've told you a lot of times. Owen is a fool who can't see what's right in front of him. I have no idea how I'm supposed to help you open his eyes" She sighed, "But there's got to be something I can do"
She thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe I could dress up better or something. Be more confident and-" However she didn't get a chance to finish as Ianto cut her off by firmly saying, "Tosh, listen to me and listen well. There is no way in hell I am letting you change yourself just to get Owen's attention. You are good just the way you are and if he can't accept that then it's his problem"
She stared at him stunned. Ianto had never spoken so firmly before. At least not to her. "Alright?" he asked. She nodded. A smile appeared on his face, "Good. I'm glad we got that out of the way" and he took a sip of his coffee. "So what should I do then?" she asked finally.
Ianto thought for a moment. What could she do? And then an idea struck him. He gave her a grin, "Make him jealous" She looked at him, "Excuse me?" He repeated, "Make him jealous" She shook her head, "I can't…" "Why not?" he asked and she shrugged.
"Oh come on Tosh!" he said leaning back, "Get some other guy, go around with him, pay more attention to him and stop giving all your attention to Owen. He's bound to notice and then we can see how he feels" Tosh thought about it. The idea seemed simple enough. Except for one thing.
"Who's going to be the guy?"
