(a/n) I love this episode. Mostly because Tosh and Owen baiscly swap personalities. That and the whole snawhiches thing. Tosh does the exact same thing to Owen in the next episode, and Owen has the exact same reaction!
The text in the italics is what Ianto's thinking.
As Gwen flopped onto the couch beside Ianto, Tosh walked in, her face shining with confidence, and her eyes bright with focus. Adam peered over from his computer, voicing his interest."Just doing a quick check." Tosh explained. "We had rift activity two days ago, but nothing seems to have come through"
Squeak squeak! "Not for me!" a weird high pitched voice said, as Owen's face appeared behind Tosh's computer, clutching a fury mouse.
Oh my god Owen, what are you doing?
Tosh glanced up at the toy, "What's that?" she asked, her disapproval and amusement evident in her voice.
"It's a screen cleaner. I thought you might like it…erm…do you, do you like it?" Owen said. His doubt was obvious.
Bloody hell.
"Just what I need," Tosh smiled, mockingly. "A small rodent looking at me while I work." She began to walk away, only to look back over her shoulder and add, "I think I will call it Owen!"
Ouch. That's harsh. No one deserves that…
Both parties walked off, leaving behind Ianto and Gwen on the couch, reading at the same newspaper, and Adam swinging on the chair opposite them. "He's like a little puppy bringing her sticks." Gwen laughed. "When's he going to realise he's got no chance?"
You're telling me.
"Loves blind apparently." Ianto replied, turning back to his paper. "He's idolised her for years now."
Longer than Jack and I…
"Oh leave him alone." Adam countered. "I think it's sweet. He's happy."
No, he's not. And he never will, not until she starts to notice him.
"Well, good thing you aren't the jealous type then." said Ianto, folding his paper in half, and placing it on the table as he stood up. "Anyone for pizza?"
