Hey I hope you enjoy this one, there are going to be other characters involved from the show. I have a day off tomorrow, so I might post another one up if I get some of those reviews which y'all are so lovely to give...

Oh I thought I should tell you there might be mild bit of Gwen-Bashing. Also I absolutely loved Owen when he was that little nerdy, shy man in series 2 Adam. (That doesn't mean I don't love him how he really is, I love that side as well I just want to write him with that sweeter side we see he has with Toshiko) So I'm sorry but in this he will be that gorgeous little nerd, hope you don't mind...


Now I know what people mean when they say the week is dragging. This week had been exhausting. The only thing that stopped me from going insane were little moments, like when I would look over at Jack he would smile at me, that smile he saved especially for me, reminding me I only had a few more days until we could be alone properly. Thursday finally came around leaving me with butterflies in my stomach, I realised two things that made this date seem a little worrying. One I was going to be completely alone with Jack and I was slightly nervous. Two I would have to lie to my Tad I would have to tell him I am going out with a friend. I knew the perfect person.

I hadn't been in the library in a while not since I had begun spending so much time with Jack or with Gwen. It still smelt the same, that dusty smell of hundreds of old books and the smell of polished wood. I made my way to the back of the library, there was only ever amount of student at the front of the library but I knew what I was looking for. I smiled as I saw the girl chewing on her pen as she flicked through the thick book. She had a small frown creasing her forehead it always showed that she was in deep concentration. There were tons of books piled around her and open ones scattered across the desk. The rummaging behind me brought me out my thinking but Toshiko was still in hers.

"Babe I brought you that book you have been looking for... love are you listening-" Owen stopped abruptly when he looked up to see me he blushed furiously. I had to laugh.

"Babe?... I didn't know you two did pet names" I couldn't help but tease him. He waved his arms on defeat showing he had given up on making an excuse for the pet name. He walked past me to stand close to Tosh, she had stopped working the moment she had heard me laugh.

"Ianto, oh how it is good to see you" she smiled warmly as Owen placed the book next to her.

"As I was saying before someone interrupted" Owen tried to glare at me but it was pointless I knew he could never be mad he was too innocent. That is what I loved about Owen and Tosh; they were just perfect for each other. "I found that book for you lo-" he stopped again looking at me.

"Oh I have been away too long you two have become too comfortable with each other. I mean Owen you are calling her love and babe in public." I smiled but not a sarcastic one I was happy to see they had become inseparable.

Tosh placed her hand over Owen's and gave it a comforting pat. "He is just winding you up love you know our Ianto" Owen smiled at her but sat down silently next to her trying to hide his embarrassment. He fiddled with his glasses and pulled at the sleeve of jumper, trying to get comfortable. Tosh watched his every move and smiled with love. I had to cough to pull her away from her little show.

It was her turn to blush a little "So what can we do you for?" hurt crept through her voice because it was clear I was there for a favour and not to just see them.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately Tosh-" she waved me off with a slight twist of her wrist.

"Don't worry about it. In a way it was nice to have some time alone" she looked back to Owen. He nodded and smiled slightly "it would still be nice to see you a bit more but you have been busy with that Barbie." Tosh did not even try to conceal the look of disgust on her face. Owen sniggered slightly but coughed to hide it, he had not expected for Tosh to put that in to conversation.

"Oh right Gwen..." I tailed off adding the beard silently in my head. The silence was painful but I couldn't think of a single thing to say to fill it. Tosh and Owen waited patiently for me to ask them for my favour but I felt like a git just using my friends like that. "The thing is guys I really want some time alone from Gwen and my Tad, they have both been really full on so I was wondering if I could say I was going out with you two on Friday night. Would that be ok?"

Owen frowned he was a terrible liar he was getting better but he found it difficult to look you in the eye. Tosh also didn't like lying but she had mastered it easily.

"Yes we will do it... but only because we love you Ianto" her words made me smile. That was settled I was going to be with Jack on Friday night and have a lovely meal.

"Thank you I really do owe you" I gave them both a hug.

We began to make our way towards our lessons. They had science together where as I had maths. Before we separated Tosh pulled me close and whispered "Don't be a stranger my dear Ianto"

I heard her before I saw her, "You...what are you doing with my boyfriend?" anger boiled when I heard he call Tosh 'you'. I pulled away from ToshI could see that she was embarrassed not only from the way the beard had spoke to her but also because there was a crowd gathering. Before I even got a chance to speak to defend my friends Owen stood in front of Tosh protecting her from this savage bitch I had the displeasure of calling my girlfriend. Gwen just didn't know when to shut up she carried on:

"How dare you touch my boyfriend with your hands, he might get nerd germs I mean why would he want to hang around with freaks like you?" she paused dramatically speaking louder now that she had an audience. "Especially when he is with popular people like me and my friends. Yanni belongs to me now! So I suggest you keep your filthy hands to yourself! Come on Yanni!"

She went to take step away and I realised this was my chance to speak.

"Gwen-" a hand on my shoulder stopped me from continuing when I looked around Owen shook his head. Tosh was wrapped up in his arms trying not to cry.

"No Ianto please allow me" Owen's voice was quiet and nervous but behind it I saw anger. I had never seen it in Owen's eyes before but he was practically shaking with venom. He pulled away from tosh once again standing in front of her. "Gwen you are a piousness little girl. You walk down these corridors thinking you are perfect just because you are queen bee, the only reason people put up with you is because we fear you. We all know how you can tear down someone's reputation with your lies and gossip. You are rude and childish; you upset people because they are better than you and if they are, you choose to destroy them. Like today you have treated Ianto as if he was your possession. You upset my girlfriend because of her friendship with Ianto; you belittled her in front of a crowd of people to show you had control. Well let me tell you something in front of the crowd you adore so much. Toshiko is worth 10 of you she is kind beautiful and caring. She is smart and funny but most importantly she respects every individual person, and treats them like a person she would never disrespect someone in public. That is why I am in love with that girl, with my girl because she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen personality included. If you ever speak about her like that again then I will see to it personally that you will regret it. Do you understand me you Miss Cooper?"

Gwen stood there with her mouth open glaring at Owen in shock. No one moved except for Tosh she threw herself into Owen's arms and kissed him. They both seemed to forget that there was a crowd as Owen pulled her close and kissed her back with as much enthusiasm. I have never seen the two of them like that before, even a gentle peck on the cheek made them blush in front of me. I did the only thing I could think of, I began to clap. Soon the whole crowd were clapping their approval shouting cat calls to Owen. Tosh and he broke apart quickly and both blushed. Teachers soon ushered us out of the corridor to our next lesson leaving me no time to speak to Gwen.


So what did you think I am not sure about the confrontation? All I know is it made me feel sick writing that stuff about Tosh I had to keep apologising to the screen.
