Awkward, uncomfortable, get me out!
Owen and the rest of the team piled in to the SUV which was waiting outside, they quickly learned that John had no transport of his own therefore much to Owen's dismay he found himself too close for comfort sitting next to the Captain. Pfft Captain!
Of course Jack wouldn't let Owen drive, the twat that he was he had to have control over everyone. Owen swore that he could charm his way in to having his way all the time. But Owen wasn't sure if he could have that same effect on Ianto and John. Owen did what Jack said just because it was a job but he wasn't sure about others.
Owen was livid that he had to inspect John, there were limits to what he could do, where does it say in his job description that he has to inspect middle aged men! Owen knew John was on paper an alien of sorts, but if he was so was Jack and Owen has given Jack the once over before. He was still not happy 'bout it.
Owen concentrated on looking out the window or at his knees or anywhere but the man sitting next to him, he was not, he told himself, gonna get sucked in to the facade of this horrible cretin. There was hardly any room in the back of the SUV with Tosh at her station and Ianto next to her leaving Owen at the other station with John next to him. Gwen and Jack sat comfortably in the front Bastards!
Owen started tapping his foot trying to pass the time, there was massive congestion on the roads in the middle of Cardiff tonight, John had to choose a club right slap bang in the middle of Cardiff's busiest sectors, didn't he.
"Do you mind," John said beside him apparently to Owen "You may be in to all that dancing stuff, but I find it quiet queer," He teased
"Yeah, what way were you with Jack, again?" Owen asked snidely
Quiet laughter filled the vehicle
John smirked "Ah so it speaks,"
"Not to you," Owen replied turning away
Owen laughed silently that'll show him he hoped John would get the message and leave him alone. They were moving a little faster now and Owen watched raindrops race down the window, an orange tinge attached to them from the street lamps. Owen thought momentarily of Katie She liked watching the raindrops racing each other Owen smiled to himself.
A while later they were nearly at the Hub and Owen was getting restless again, he leaned back and closed his eyes trying his hardest to stay still. This day was not going well, well yesterday wasn't he was pretty sure it was Saturday now which is his day off, so he should be at home. He opened his eyes to ask Tosh if Myfawny had been fed and found John staring at him, Owen raised an eyebrow and John smirked again "Alright sailor," He whispered not wanting the others to hear. Owen frowned and looked past him.
He asked the question and Ianto answered saying he had done it this morning and it was Owen's turn tonight and he was NOT getting out of it this time. Damn!
"But Ianto I already have loads to do!" Owen Protested
"Oh do you? Oh well please tell what you possibly have to do which will take up your whole evening which leaves no time for you to do one simple task," Ianto retorted
"I...Have...medical things and whatnot to do," Owen said
"Uhuh, look Owen I don't tell you how to do your job although you could do it so much better, so don't try and get out of parts of my job that I ask for a little help in," Ianto continued
"I'll help ya Ianto, anytime," Jack interjected from the front
"Jack last time you 'helped' you ended up letting her loose around the city,"
"That wasn't my fault! She wouldn't take the damn food and then I lost it and needed some light to find it so I opened the roof," Jack explained
There was a collective hand to forehead moment from the team and murmurs of variations of idiot.
"Ooh eye candy knows how to knock 'em for ten," John said
"Shut up you," Ianto said simply making Owen laugh, Ianto knew how to be simple and direct, he was never one to beat around the bush.
They finally got back to the Hub but Jack stopped outside the water tower.
The tourist entrance, ha I wonder when Jack last said that to John
Owen got out of the SUV quickly to let John out and so he could get to the driver's position. As he was waiting for Jack to pass him he felt a hand on his ass. He spun round angrily only to watch Jack striding off towards the tower with John walking backwards laughing snidely before turning to keep up with Jack.
Owen got back in to the vehicle slamming the door in a fit of rage
"Alright Owen," Gwen asked from the seat next to him
"Fucking brilliant," He said in his usually sardonic tone
Back in the Hub, Owen was in the medical bay preparing for John when John finally appeared after having all his weapons removed, he sauntered down the steps. Owen felt smug knowing that he held all the power as John had no means to fight with, except his own physical strength.
I could take him
"So where do you want me?" John asked smiling
"Just sit down," Owen ordered coldly
John obeyed sitting down on the medical table
"Oh I like a man who takes charge," John said watching Owen, he could tell he was watching while he looked for a syringe to take blood
"Will you just shut up right, I want to do this quickly so I can get as far as I can away from you," Owen said harshly
"No need to be so harsh sailor, I haven't done anything worth running away from...Yet," John explained mischievously
"My name is Owen, got that? And Ianto is not eye candy, while we're on the subject," Owen told John who just grinned
"Alright sailor cool your jets...eye candy...now there's a guy who I wouldn't mind...you agree don't ya,"
John was getting at Owen now and he knew he was. But Owen knew that John was upset at Jack not going straight back to him and instead sticking with Ianto which in a way saddened Owen as well. Owen hadn't meant to but he changed when Jack left, the whole team looked out for each other and especially Ianto, not that he needed much looking after, he was strong. But Owen spent some extra time with Ianto and the more time they spent together the further Ianto grew from tea boy.
They became friends as the whole team did and...Completely by accident Owen managed to sleep with each of them at least once.
But Jack was back now and he was gonna first try and get with Gwen but once he saw the ring he was gonna crawl back to Ianto, where he belongs, Ianto deserved so much better, not Owen better He's good in bed and has an awesome sense of humour but would just end up hurting himbut he loved Jack and in a twisted way Jack loved him, they would sort themselves out eventually.
"You okay there sailor?" John said
Owen blinked and picked up the syringe and began deciding which needle was needed.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Owen almost growled
"Well you kind of zoned out for a second there, thinking about eye candy?"
"I don't know anyone by the name eye candy, now shut up so I can do this," Owen retorted and picked up one of the needles proceeding to assemble the syringe. He turned around to face John holding up the syringe
"You can't be serious," John immediately exclaimed, eyes wide in fear
"Oh I can," Owen replied with utter happiness "What scared of needles John, five years trapped with Jack and you're scared of needles," Owen said laughing
"Not scared, how do I know what you've but in there," John replied
"Only love, that's all I swear," The sarcastic tone in Owen's voice angered John slightly
"Ready?"
Owen administered the rest of the medical without a peep from John- ha I wish! John wouldn't shut up! As soon as it was done Owen hightailed it out of there, or he wish he could, Jack wouldn't let him leave, he wanted a 'word'
Shit, I swear I did a full autopsy on that blow fish, I don't know where his jacket and tie went...
