torchwood100Summary: Tosh needs someone to calm her nerves and make her seen sense. A double drabble.
Tosh was still at her desk when Ianto swept past collecting empty mugs. He paused and checked his watch. 'Um, don't you have somewhere you're supposed to be?' Like a first date with Owen that was unbelievably finally going to happen.
'I don't think I can do it, Ianto.'
'Of course you can. And why shouldn't you?' Owen had mucked her around for long enough as it was. It was well past time he manned up and asked her out. Tosh was absolutely worth asking out in his opinion, and far better than Owen probably deserved.
Tosh gave him a worried look, wringing her hands. 'What if I say something really stupid?'
'You've been working together every single day for the past seven years, Tosh. I'm pretty sure if you had anything stupid left inside you to say, you would have said it by now. And hey, he's still asked you out tonight. Guess that means whatever stupid stuff you've said so far wasn't enough to discourage him.'
Tosh smirked.' It's Owen. He says enough stupid stuff for all of us put together some days.'
He wasn't the only one, Ianto thought wryly. 'Exactly, so what are you worried about?'
