Title: Keep your distance
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Ianto, Tosh, Gwen
Rating: PG
Challenge: 631 - Move at tw100
Notes: Owen is on the warpath and everyone should get out of his way. A double drabble.

‘Owen's back from the hospital,’ Ianto reported as he set down fresh mugs of coffee for Tosh and Gwen.

‘How's he doing?’ Tosh asked, genuinely concerned for his wellbeing. It was a fair enough thing to ask given he'd almost been mauled to death by a weevil.

‘Worse than usual. He wouldn't even talk to me in the car. But I did score a bag of grapes. All the same, if he comes headed in your direction, I'd be inclined to move right out of his way. I'd say he's looking to finish the fight he started with that weevil and he won't be happy until it's done.’

‘Maybe we should talk to him,’ Gwen offered. ‘It can't be easy on him since Dianne left.’

‘You're welcome to try but I wouldn't advise it.’ If anyone was going to take a right hook to the jaw it ought to be Jack. Not that he thought that was a good idea either, but Jack was at least entitled to hit back. Mind you, if Owen made a move to sock Ianto one, he was going to give it back. A whack to the head might be just what the doctor ordered.

Owen may be hurting, but he's not helping himself by alienating his friends. Maybe Ianto should give him a good thump. Might bring him to his senses.
