The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

157. A Friend In Need

Title: A Friend In Need - Sequel to 'Alone' by timelordshines on LJ

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Tosh, Owen

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 294 – Teddy Bears' Picnic at tw100

Spoilers: None at all.

Summary: Tosh gets a surprise visitor

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: When my lovely friend timelordshines over on LJ wrote her drabble, she decided she'd like a fluffy sequel to it and asked if I'd have a go at writing it. So, with her approval, here it is – this will make more sense if you read her drabble first.

I love Janto: Ianto is thoughtful that way, he'd never store a load of teddy bears in the archives when they could be making children's lives a little better!

Curled on her couch, still hugging Ted, Tosh was woken by someone banging on her door.

Stumbling to her feet half asleep, she dried her face on her sleeve and opened the door. Owen stood there, looking awkward and uncertain.

"Owen, is everything alright?"

"I don't know; is it? You took off so fast I didn't get a chance to ask. After a day like today… I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You look like you could use a hug."

She shrugged. "I have Ted."

"Bears don't hug back," Owen said softly, hugging her, "but friends do."

The End.
