The five of them sat there gathered round the CCTV eating popcorn. Melody and Ianto were snuggling up together, Gwen sat next to Jack with her hand firmly in his and Owen sat there glaring at the CCTV.
"Why is it when one of us has a date the rest of us sit round the CCTV spying on them?" Gwen asked suddenly
"it's because we have no time to watch soap operas" Ianto said "if we got to watch Eastenders or Coronation Street regularly we wouldn't have the need to spy on each other messing things up"
"In other words we're sad bastards with no life" Owen said shoving a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
"Well we wouldn't have watched if you didn't put it on Owen Harper" Melody said scowling slightly. "Why did you put it on? Making sure that Tommy-Boy won't get fresh with Tosh? Checking out what Tosh is like on a date? Are you jealous Owen?"
"No I am not jealous" Owen growled
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight" everyone drawled sarcastically
"And the reason you keep glaring at Tommy is because you're in a bad mood" Melody said
"Correct"
"And the reason you stabbed the needle in Tommy a bit too hard is because…?"
"It was an accident!"
"And the reason you spat in his drink was because…?"
"I didn't spit in his drink!"
"Yes you did I saw you"
"Oh shut up Ianto"
"Face it Owen you fancy Tosh and you're jealous that she's dating Tom" Gwen said rolling her eyes
"I'm worried about her is all? I mean Tom over there is frozen for 364 days a year. She'll only get to spend one day with him. It's not really a healthy relationship and he can't expect her to stay single for the other 364 days of the year can he?"
Melody, Ianto and Gwen gave out a hacking cough with the word 'denial' in between each cough.
"And who exactly could Tosh date when she's working here? Hmm…" Jack asked wonderingly "her schedule isn't ideal for a normal boyfriend, I'm married, Ianto's taken and I don't think Melody or Gwen are prepared to share, so that just leaves you Owen"
The edges of Owen's ears had turned red and the others began to laugh as he muttered a 'shut up'.
"All I'm saying is that it's going to end in tears" Owen grumbled folding his arms.
The others rolled their eyes and left him on his own.
After the traumatic experience of giving Tommy up to save the world, Jack and Gwen watched on Tosh on CCTV and saw Owen offer her his company for the walk home; they watched the two link arms and walk away.
"You know we could always use the old cupboard stand-by" Gwen said suddenly
"Does that actually work?" Jack asked
"Did for me when I locked Rose and the Doctor in one"
"I'll consider it but if the world ends because we locked our medic and scientist in I'll blame you"
