Summary: Long days and nights have caught up with Ianto. A double drabble.

Owen snorted as he and Gwen lobbed up the short steps. 'So much for the vigilant night shift,' he muttered, spotting Ianto curled on his side on the sofa. 'Lucky the city's still standing.'

'Oh, leave off,' Gwen whispered. 'He practically lives here,' she replied. 'I can't remember the last time I didn't see him around here during the day. Only makes sense to steal a couple of hours of sleep when things are quiet.'

Owen rolled his eyes. 'Not much point in having a night shift then, is there?'

'I can hear you, you know,' Ianto muttered, eyes still closed as he pulled the blanket tighter. 'There was a weevil on the loose at two am, if you must know. It's down in the cells and due to wake up any minute now. It'll be grumpy as hell.'

'It's not the only one.'

'I could've called and woken you up.'

'You should have, pet,' Gwen said. 'You don't have to do it all on your own. We're a team.'

'Jack would have handled it on his own.’ 

'Yeah, well Jack's not here, is he?' Owen replied. 'So go home and get some proper sleep before you get yourself killed.'

Well, that's gratitude! For that, Owen can have the next week of night shifts.
