Over the next week Ianto had spent every night at Owen's. They would have dinner, watch a movie, then go to bed. It was a comfortable routine they both liked. Sadly, the routine was changed once Owen was back an started to work overtime. Owen was staying at the Hub while Gwen, Tosh, and Ianto would go out to retrieve what feel through the rift. Luckily it was only useless alien stuff and not actual aliens.
"Hey we're back!" Gwen yelled. She and Tosh had gone out while Owen and Ianto stayed behind.
Owen and Ianto stopped their make out session in the med bay and went upstairs fixing their clothes to greet the girls.
"What you find?" Owen asked.
"Just another artifact." Tosh answered.
"I'll go and out it in the archives." Ianto said.
Tosh gave Ianto the artifact and went back to her desk to check out what was going to happen the next time there was a rift spike.
Owen went to the med bay to act busy, but really he to relieve his erection that he had gotten while he and Ianto had been alone. Owen was almost to orgasm when Gwen walked in.
"Owen have- Oh my God!" Gwen said and turned around covering her mouth with her hand.
"Gwen- bloody hell, what do you want?" Owen asked.
"I was wondering if you want to go out tonight. Tosh said the rift would be quiet and I wanted the whole team to go out." Gwen said.
"Yeah, fine. Ok. What time?" Owen asked.
"7 ok?" Gwen asked back.
"Prefect." Owen replied.
Gwen left quickly and went to let Tosh, know that Owen was coming with them to dinner.
At seven on the dot the whole Torchwood team headed out to dinner. The girls wanted Chinese, so they went to a whole in the wall place that Ianto knew of. It was family owned and it was where ianto went when his sister was in town.
The four were seated and given menus. Ianto sat across from Owen who sat by Gwen. They were quiet while looking at their menus and ordered when the waitress came to them.
"So...how's Rhys?" Tosh asked Gwen.
"Busy. His company is expanding..." Gwen said.
Ianto didn't pay much attention. He knew that Tosh really didn't care about Rhys, but was being nice.
Meanwhile Owen was having an inner dialogue with himself. Tonight is the night. No, not tonight, so unromantic...but when did I ever care about being romantic? Gods, what is Ianto doing to me? I need to really think about what I'm getting into...and what if Jack comes back?
"Owen is everything alright?" Tosh asked.
"Huh, yeah fine, why?" Owen asked.
"You were spaced out there for a while." Tosh said.
"Sorry...just thinking about what I have to do tomorrow at the Hub." Owen said. He knew it was a lame excuse, but the only thing he could come up with.
Their food came and everyone ate. They were stuffed by the time they were done.
"That was amazing. I'm so full." Owen said.
"It was very good. Good choice of restaurant, Ianto." Tosh said.
"I liked it." Gwen commented.
"Thank you. I thought you guys would like it." Ianto replied shyly.
"Well I better get home. Rhys has been mad I've been working hard the last week." Gwen said.
"See you tomorrow." Owen said.
"Bye Gwen." Tosh said.
"See you." Ianto said.
Gwen left and the other three team members were left with each other.
"Gods, she is so annoying!" Ianto said once Gwen was out the door.
"I know! One more word about Rhys and I swear I was gotten kill her with my chopsticks." Owen replied.
"Please you two don't know what she was like during our rift trip today! All she did was complain about having to go out of the Hub. She was complaining how you two go to stay behind and how you guys don't do much, but argue with each other." Tosh replied.
"Gods, I'm so happy I was injured last week." Owen said. He missed the hurt past in Ianto's eyes.
"She's such a pain sometimes. You know this morning she wanted me to stop what I was doing just so I could get her a biscuit!" Ianto said.
"Well I know for one thing she can bite me. If I have to listen to her one more time whining I'll shoot her." Owen said.
"Not if I get there first." Tosh answered back.
"You both wont get there before me." Ianto said with an evil smile on his face.
"Wont you be in the archives when we both shoot her?" Owen asked.
"I can get to her before both of you. Trust me." Ianto answered.
"Well I better go. Busy day tomorrow. We got lots of rift activity in the morning." Tosh said.
"We better get going too." Owen said looking at Ianto.
"Yeah, let's go home. Tosh you want us to walk you?" Ianto asked.
"That would be lovely." Tosh answered.
The three team members started walking in the direction of Tosh's flat. They talked about their hatred to the other team member who wasn't there and what their plans were for the weekend, if the rift allowed them some free time.
"Good night boys. Thanks for walking me home." Tosh said.
"No problem. Better safe, then sorry." Owen replied.
"You're welcome Tosh. We'll see you tomorrow." Ianto replied.
Tosh gave both men hugs before going into her building.
