Summary: Alien spores and making Ianto second guess everything. A double drabble.


'Are you sure?' Ianto asked as Owen was finishing up his last round of tests.

'I'm bloody positive,' Owen replied, sounding annoyed at his teammate.

'Really sure?'

Owen huffed and slammed his clipboard down on the table, making Ianto jump. 'Yes! There is no conspiracy, no bevy of sexy women and blokes looking to take you out. Just your own paranoia. That's what these spores do. Play on your fears and make you blind to the actual reality of the situation.'

'There was a woman making eyes at Jack,' he said, as if that was a defence to his recent obsessive behaviour, thinking the world was out to steal Jack away from him.

'Please,' Owen said, sounding as fed up as he felt. 'When isn't there some woman making eyes at Jack? It's when he starts making eyes back that you should be worried.'

Ianto sat up straighter on the gurney. 'Is that what he was doing? Did you see? Was he making eyes at her?'

'Jesus Christ,' Owen muttered. 'Can I just have you sedated until this stupid thing wears off? I can't take it anymore. They said love is blind. They didn't mention anything about paranoid and stupid.'

Por Ianto *pets him* There might be a lot of people wanting Jack, but that doesn't mean he wants them.
