Owen went back to Tosh. She was in the small cot wrapped up in the blanket shivering like crazy.
"Tosh" he said alarmed
"I'm so cold Owen"
He crossed the room and put down the cups of coffee and turned up the heating.
"Drink this Tosh, it'll help the heating will too"
"You said last night body heat was better"
"It is," he said looking at her
"Hold me Owen, please" she said and moved over as far as she could to the wall and made space for him.
"Are you sure Tosh?" he asked
She nodded, so Owen slipped off his shoes and climbed fully clothed into the cot. Tosh snuggled into him as he wrapped his arms round her.
"Owen, what's going to happen about Gwen?" she asked suddenly
"I'll finish it Tosh, I promise its you and want to be with not her it never really was"
Tosh nodded and cuddled closer to him.
Gwen woke up and after getting dressed headed into the main hub, expecting to see Owen in medical. Only Jack and Ianto were with Martha,
"Morning, where's Owen I thought he'd be here" she said
"He went to bed a while ago, he's been up all night" said Jack
"Oh maybe I'll just take him a cup of coffee, anyone else"
"No thanks Gwen, and maybe you should leave Owen to sleep for a couple of hours he's already grumpy," he said
Gwen nodded and left to make herself a coffee. After this she was going to head to her flat, for a shower and a change of clothes. Saturday was a given day off unless they were called in. She knew Owen was on duty for the weekend, so she might just hang around after all she had nothing to go home to. All she had left was Torchwood now and the team.
It was almost 10am when Owen woke up with Tosh curled round him. He smiled as he lay and watched her sleep. He had to wake her before Jack or god help them Gwen came looking. He gently touched her cheek,
"Tosh" he said gently, she murmured but didn't wake up.
"Tosh" he said a little louder. She moved even closer to him if that was possible.
"Tosh, honey you've got to wake up" he said as he gently stroked her cheek,
Her eyes opened and she smiled.
"Morning" he said
"Morning"
"We need to get up Tosh, its late" he said, he slid his hand down her arm. He suddenly stopped and looked at her.
"What's wrong?" she said
"Tosh you're naked" he said shocked
"You were the one who told me to get undressed last night," she said smiling at him.
"Yeah but I meant leave something on, Jesus Tosh" he said
"Owen have you changed your mind about us" she said pushing herself away from him.
"Of course not but Jesus Tosh, you're naked I don't wanna screw this up"
"You're only holding me Owen and you're fully dressed"
He placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
"We need to get up before someone comes looking down here for us" he said
Tosh nodded.
Owen slipped out from under the duvet, suddenly too scared to look round as he heard Tosh get out. Knowing she was standing behind him naked scared him more than he thought possible.
Tosh could tell he was scared; she quickly retrieved her clothes and got dressed. Owen stood with his back to her the whole time. Having nothing on her feet he didn't hear her approach and jumped as she put her arms round him.
"Sorry" she said
"S'ok" he said as he took her tiny hands in his. He turned round to face her.
"God you're beautiful first thing in the morning" he said smiling, she had no make-up on and her hair was all tussled from sleep.
"Yeah right" she said laughing and running her fingers through her hair,
"You are, I never saw you without make-up before" and he kissed her.
"Come on lets get up there, I want to check on Martha" he slipped his arm round her tiny waist and they walked down the corridor to the door that separated them from the main hub. Owen stopped and turned her to face him,
"What's wrong?" she asked
"Nothing, I need to kiss you again," he said as his lips met hers, she responded with such hunger that Owen had to lean against the door for support. He finally had to break the kiss.
"I thought you wanted to take this slow Tosh"
"I just don't feel like telling the others yet, I want some time with you to myself before we tell them"
"Fine by me"
"Owen you need to tell Gwen its over," she whispered as he opened the door to the hub.
"Its been over for a while, but I'll make sure she knows I promise" he said as she walked past him. He caught up with her and ran his hand over her backside as he walked level with her, she just giggled.
Jack and Ianto left the hub before Owen made and appearance, leaving Gwen sitting with Martha.
They were now walking though Cardiff city centre, hand in hand. Ianto was a little nervous but with Jack by his side he could cope with anything. Jack took him for breakfast in the café they often used.
"Ianto, Jack. Haven't seen you for ages" said the man behind the counter
"Hi George, we've been away" said Jack
"Take a seat I'll bring your breakfast over"
Jack smiled and led Ianto to their normal seat. Once sitting down next to Jack Ianto started to relax a little.
"Calm down Yan, we're married we're allowed to touch each other in public" he whispered as Ianto froze when Jack took his hand in his
"I know Cariad, I just can't stand the looks from people"
"Let me worry about that," said Jack "I love you"
"I love you too Jack" he said and squeezed Jacks hand
George came over carrying two steaming mugs, tea for Ianto and industrial strength coffee for Jack.
"Thanks George" said Ianto
George smiled and then saw them holding hands,
"Something wrong George," said Jack calmly
"Nope not a thing, you let me know if anyone gives you bother in here, I prefer your company than theirs" he said tapping Jack on the shoulder.
"Congratulations" he said nodding at their rings
"Thanks" said Jack
George walked away to cook their breakfast smiling.
"See no-one is bothered Yan" said Jack
Ianto nodded and relaxed. His fingers entwined with Jacks.
As Ianto picked up his tea, he noticed a young man with his son staring at them. He looked away and tried to ignore them, Jack stifled a giggle as the little boys voice reached his ears.
"Daddy look at those men, they're holding hands"
He took a deep breath when he heard the reply.
"Don't look at them David, they're bad men" he said
Jack took the bait,
"Oi, just because I'm a gay man doesn't make me a bad person," he shouted across the café,
"Jack calm down" said Ianto tenderly, stroking his hand with his fingers.
"No Yan, I'm sick of peoples attitude towards gay men"
"Jack please" he said quietly
Jack relaxed against his chair; he wasn't going to upset Ianto for a man that was ignorant. He might look relaxed but Ianto knew better. He took a deep breath and gently touched Jacks arm with his free hand, as Jack turned to look at him Ianto leant forward and kissed him full on the mouth, Jack was so shocked it took a second to respond, but respond he did. He opened his mouth and surrendered completely to his partners kiss. He heard the man tut and then Georges gentle voice
"Please leave the café, I don't need your money," he said as he ejected the man and his son from the property. Then he calmly went back behind the counter and continued cooking Jacks breakfast. Jack had to break the kiss eventually.
"What was that all about?" he said, tenderly touching Iantos face with his fingertips.
"I suddenly decided that I needed to kiss you," said Ianto planting another gentler kiss on Jacks beautiful lips.
"I don't care anymore Jack, I love you to much to care what other people think"
Jack said nothing, he just smiled. Ianto had finally 'come out'.
