Summary: Gwen finds her teammate's behaviour strange. A double drabble.
Gwen narrowed her eyes at her teammates, then frowned. ‘Okay, what the hell is going on?’ she demanded to know.
‘Going on?’ Jack asked, frowning back at her, before giving Ianto a sideways glance. ‘Is something going on?’
‘Not that I'm aware of,’ he replied, looking equally confused.
‘There’s something going on,’ Gwen insisted. ‘The pair of you haven’t had a row in weeks. Not one bad temper, one sulk, one not talking to each other or not serving coffee. Something must be going on. You two never go that long without an argument about anything. Every couple fights. I can’t remember a time when you haven’t found something to fight about.’
Jack and Ianto exchanged glances and then looked back at her. Jack slid an arm around Ianto's waist and tugged him close. ‘So what if we haven't argued about anything for a few weeks? Can't we just be happy and in love and enjoy it?’
‘Arguing is just so exhausting,’ Ianto added.
‘But the make up sex is pretty amazing,’ Jack countered.
‘There is that,’ Ianto agreed. ‘No doubt we’ll eventually find something to argue about.’
Gwen nodded. ‘Good, then I'll know the world is back to normal.’
