Back at the pub the three remaining Torchwood members were nursing their third pints and aiming for the fourth.
"That was such a crap excuse," Tosh mumbled, giggling slightly.
"Yeah we all know they're going back to the Hub to get jiggy with it," Owen remarked casually downing the last dregs of beer in his mug.
Ianto nearly choked on his drink, "Did you just say 'get jiggy with it'? Because if you did I may not ever be able to talk to you again."
Owen blushed slightly but retorted, "Fine by me tea-boy."
"You know I don't understand why people keep calling me tea-boy," Ianto mused, "I don't make tea; I make the freaking best coffee in Wales."
"I think you boys need more drinks," Tosh announced brightly, her cheeks slightly flushed from the alcohol, "I'll be right back."
She had to climb over Owen to get out of the booth and he tried his best not to stare at her ass as she stepped over him, he honestly did.
"When are you gonna get a clue?" Ianto asked incredulously.
"What are you talking about?" Owen asked confused and oblivious, as ever.
Ianto just shook his head and was about to reply when something at the bar caught his attention and he grinned slightly, "Looks like that stuff really did something to Tosh, I've never seen her chat so openly to a stranger."
This of course made Owen extremely anxious, yes he was anxious because Tosh was a friend and he was looking out for her.
Which was, of course, why he marched up to the guy Tosh was chatting to and stepping between them said, "Tosh where're those drinks you promised?"
He then glared momentarily at the asshole and settling an arm around Tosh's shoulders he led her back to their table where Ianto was shaking with suppressed laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Owen hissed at him shoving Tosh unceremoniously down into her seat, not seeing the triumphant look pass across her face.
"Oh nothing," Ianto replied innocently, winking discreetly at Tosh.
"I just didn't want some sleaze ball taking advantage of her," Owen muttered avoiding Tosh's eyes.
"It's alright Owen," Tosh said comfortingly and then a mischievous grin crossed her face, "although you know he was just asking where I brought my bag because he thought his boyfriend would like one just like it."
Ianto and Tosh watched in amusement as Owen's face turned a sort of magenta and fuchsia hybrid colour.
Then he cleared his throat and the normal arrogant Owen exterior was back in place, "So where's that drink you brought me Tosh?"
Tosh smiled as she handed over the beer and said, "So Jack and Gwen huh?"
Owen breathed out a sigh of relief at the change of conversation and said, "It had to happen sooner or later."
There was an obvious silence from Ianto and Tosh asked warily, "You're alright with that aren't you?"
He nodded immediately and said, "Yeah I sort of figured something would be happening there eventually. I mean, that amount of sexual tension would make me explode."
Tosh still had a sympathetic look on her face and Owen, well Owen was just smirking at him, but he said, "Seriously I'm fine. Me and Jack, whatever we had was just physical and it's over anyway."
"So anyone else you got your eye on?" Tosh asked curiously.
Ianto took a large gulp of his beer and said flatly, "Tosh we work at Torchwood. How would I ever meet anyone?"
Tosh waved her arm around slopping her beer onto Owen accidentally, "Ianto we're in a bar."
"Tosh, you're drunk," Ianto said.
She looked mildly affronted at this and replied, "Am not!"
Ianto sighed and got up saying, "I'll go get some napkins."
"He totally needs to get laid," Tosh commented and Owen spluttered on his beer before he managed to breathe normally.
"You're such a lightweight," He said laughing at her.
A comfortable silence fell between the two and Owen found himself recalling the video from earlier. Tosh had kissed him. The brief thought about how it had felt like flew through his brain before he realised Tosh was talking to him.
At the Hub Gwen and Jack were cautiously getting up from the sofa wondering what the crash had been.
"Tutu man's still in his cell," Gwen said after checking the monitor.
"Well there's no one else in here," Jack said annoyed at the interruption.
"Maybe it was Myfanwy?" Gwen asked but fell silent on seeing the pterodactyl still curled up on the floor of the Hub.
Jack was about to reply when a low snarl echoed throughout the Hub. Gwen froze and Jack edged closer to her taking out his gun.
"Gwen?" He said.
"Yeah?"
"Did we check the weevils after the gas was released?"
"No"
"Shit"
"What do you think happened?"
Jack just shook his head and replied, "I'm going to call Ianto, you check the CCTV. We don't know how this stuff affects different species."
Gwen nodded and sat down in front of one of the computers while Jack dialled Ianto's number.
"So is it going to be weird now do you think, now that Gwen and Jack are doing it?"
"Tosh what has gotten into you?" Owen asked setting his mug down on the table and turning to face her.
She looked slightly confused but then asked, "What do you mean?"
Owen shook his head, "It's nothing, you just seem…different."
"Is that good different or bad different?" Tosh asked her eyes boring into his.
Owen could feel himself unwittingly leaning forward and he managed to stop himself before replying, "I'm pretty sure it's good."
The air between them was thick with unspoken thoughts as they stared at each other and then suddenly Tosh broke away severing their eye contact and said, "Good, cause I'd hate it if that gas stuff did something to me."
Owen just shook his head dazedly trying to clear out all the unnecessary thoughts.
It was then that Ianto came rushing back and gathered up his coat.
"Hey where're the napkins?" Owen asked.
"No time, Jack just called. Something's happened." Ianto replied.
"Shit," Owen swore.
"What happened?" Tosh asked standing up.
"The line was fuzzy I couldn't hear him properly but we should get back now," Ianto replied already half way on his way out of the door.
Owen and Tosh looked at each other and Owen grinned at her, "Time to sober up Tosh."
He pretended he didn't hear her vague dismissal as he walked past her, "I'm not drunk you fool."
Gwen gasped as she saw what was happening on the CCTV, "Jack I think you should see this."
He hurried over to the computer and leaned over her shoulder and Gwen tried her best to ignore the way Jack's breath felt against her cheek. This was also especially hard since Jack was still shirtless.
"When was this filmed?"
"About five minutes ago, this was just before we heard the crash." Gwen replied.
"What are they doing?" Jack mused to himself, watching as the weevils in the cells seemed to be having some sort of fit.
The same crash they had heard echoed out of the speakers and Gwen jumped.
"Did they just break down the cell door?" Jack said aghast.
Gwen just nodded and said, "So should we err…get out of here or something?"
So I felt I needed A LOT more Tosh/Owen interaction in this after the last episode. I mean I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen it but expect some nice Tosh/Owen moments in this fic from now on. Maybe..I dunno I might change my mind, I do that a lot. Lol
On another note: new Doctor Who!! I totally thought I would hate Donna cos Catherine Tate is not on my list of favourite people but she was actually okay. And that mime scene had me dying with laughter!
Review please...I have run out of things to offer, but I just want to say thank you again because the amount of reviews is just amazing and makes me so unbelievably happy!
