Summary: Tosh is trying to make inroads to win back Ianto's trust. A double drabble.
Tosh started handing out the paper coffee cups with no small amount of guilt. No one had specifically denied Ianto from making coffee now that he was back from suspension, it was just a habit that had been picked up whilst he'd not been there, and no one had sought to correct it. She gave Jack his first, trying to avoid small talk, then left Owen's at the top of the steps for Owen to collect when he wasn't elbow deep in guts. She pulled the last one from the cardboard tray and slid it next to Gwen's hand.
'You not coffee-ing today, Tosh?' Gwen asked, noticing the fourth cup missing.
'I gave mine to Ianto. He looked so miserable sitting up there all on his own.'
Gwen forced a sympathetic smile into her face. 'That was a really nice thing to do. I wish he'd stop hiding up there thinking he has to punish himself. We've all moved on, haven't we?'
Gwen might have, and Tosh had never been against him to start with. How Owen and Jack felt about it was a different matter.
'I think it's going to take more than a takeaway coffee to convince him.'
