Rating: PG
Challenge: 627 - Tentacle(s) at tw100
Notes: Gwen wishes Ianto would stop being so jealous. A double drabble.

'Would you stop bloody pacing!' Gwen scolded, about to throw her paperback at his head. 'The boat sways enough without you going from one end to the other all the bloody time. It's enough to make anyone seasick.'

'What else am I supposed to do?' Ianto complained. 'He should have been back ages ago.'

'And you were the one that didn't want to go down there with him,' she reminded him. 'He did offer.'

'You know I hate those diving suits.'

'Yes, yes,' Gwen said, waving off his next string of complaints. 'You hate being underwater, underground, confined spaces, blah, blah, blah...'

'You know, Gwen, if I didn't know you better, I'd almost say you didn't care.'

She sighed. 'Of course I care. I just wish you wouldn't work yourself up into such a state. We've got a job to do. Just try and stay focused.'

'He's down there with a thing that has eight tentacles,' Ianto argued. 'That's like catnip to a guy like Jack. You should hear the stories he tells.'

'Oh, I've heard them. I just have the good sense to not believe them.'

'He's been down there ages!' Ianto reiterated.

Oi! Men and their inadequacy issues!

Well, Jack DOES have a thing for tentacles, so Ianto has every right to worry.
