"Owen, please…" Ianto says through a moan.

Owen feels him grow hard through the pants and smirks, which causes the Welshman to unbuckle his seatbelt throwing himself at the Londoner. "Ianto…"

"Quiet." Seconds later Ianto's lips are on Owen's kissing him hard.

Owen moans softly into the kiss, kissing back just as hard.

Just then the taxi slams to a stop. "Oi! None of that in my cab! Get out! You are both going to go to hell." The driver shouts and glares at them.

Breaking apart, Owen glares back at him wanting to punch the guy. "You believe what you want, come on Ianto, lets walk back."

Ianto nods. "Come on."

Opening the door and sliding out of the cab, both men shiver at the coldness. Ianto, only wearing a t-shirt, sighs.

Owen glances at him and shrugs out of his coat, wrapping it around the younger man.

"What about you? You will get cold now…" Ianto says as he slides his arms through the arm holes.

Owen smiles softly. "I'll be fine." Grabbing the Welshman's hand, holding it tightly, he adds "Besides, as your doctor I need to make sure you are being looked after correctly."

Ianto laughs softly. "Alright Doctor Owen, yes I am, my wonderful boyfriend is looking after me just fine."

Owen grins and kisses his forehead, "Oh that's good. He must be a good guy then" heading in the direction back to the Hub.

"The best." Ianto replies.

Owen smiles sadly, 'No I'm not' He thinks to himself and places his hand in the Welshman's.

The men walk in silence for a while until Owen sees a shop window and what was inside that window. 'They look … perfect' he thinks walking over to get a closer look at the two matching rings sitting together.

"Alien?" Ianto asks, eyebrow raised.

"Don't know… shall we?" Owen wonders seeing that the shop is still open.

"Sure."

Owen opens the door holding it open for Ianto, letting him in first before following. Once inside, he goes over to the counter to ring the bell for assistance.

"Hello, how may I help you, sir?" Says a voice behind them causing Owen to jump.

"Uh yeah hello, what can you tell me about those two rings in the window?"
The guy looks towards the objects in question and frowns. "Nothing I am afraid. They came in to the store just today, why?"

Owen looks to Ianto and sees the same look on his face knowing he's thinking the same thing. "I would like to buy them."

The shopkeeper shrugs and gets them from the shelf in the window, walking over to the till. "How would you like to pay?"

"Credit card."

Paying for the rings and leaving a few minutes later, Owen gets them out of the box and slides one onto Ianto's right ring finger.

"Oh my finger is tingling …" Ianto says looking down at it then grabs the other one from Owen's hand sliding it on.

Owen smiles at the Welshman, then looks down at his finger as his also starts to tingle. 'Oh this feels … nice?' He thinks to himself.

"It feels strange…" Ianto responds moments later.

"It does… I wonder what they do." Owen says as his begins to tingle on his finger.

'Who knows with alien technology?'

"Alien tech that we haven't come across before, anyway." Owen replies, getting a strange look for the younger man. "What?"

'Is he hearing my thoughts?'

Owen looks at Ianto with wide eyes. "It's the rings. They must allow the wearers to be able to hear each others thoughts." He stares down at his in amazement. 'This could be quite useful…' He lets his mind wander, forgetting that Ianto would hear his thoughts for a few seconds.

"Owen!" Ianto shouting startles Owen from his thoughts.
The Londoner looks at the Welshman blushing a little. "What?"

"Remember the bit about me being able to hear your thoughts… I heard that. All of it." The younger man replies.

Owen blushes more. "Well …. You know me… and who could not think about that with you? Those amazing eyes…. And hand's." He says and feels his body respond to the thought of the other mans hands touching him.
Ianto steps closer to him which makes Owen shiver. "Oh these hands?" He says and rests them on Owen's crotch, causing him to moan.
"Oh god. Yes those hands. Please." Owen pleads knowing Ianto can feel his excitement through his jeans.
"Later. Mine or yours?"
"No Teaboy, you can't just do that and then not follow through. Why not right now and here?" Owen tries, pouting.

"I am sure people will just love to see that…" Ianto says back, sarcasm present in his voice.

Owen grins. "There is a great drug called Retcon…it makes people forget. We use it a lot."
"Yeah for work related stuff, not for making people forget two men being 'intimate' in public." Ianto chuckles.
Owen groans as Ianto removes his hand. "Alright fine. I guess you are right. Mine then? Rift permitting?"

"Yes. Rift and Jack permitting."

Meanwhile, Jack, Gwen, Toshiko and Captain John are all in the SUV heading towards the Hub.

"Gwen, when we get back I need you to follow protocol and do what needs to be done. Tosh… look up those rift spikes and try to find where these canisters could have come out." Jack speaks to his remaining two team members.
"What about me? What do I do? Stand around looking gorgeous?" John grins at him.
Jack rolls his eyes. "No I need more information about the canisters."
