- Drabbletag - Torchwood: Gwen/Tosh, cry
Title: Mourn
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Gwen/Tosh
Rating: PG
Word count: 218
Prompt: Cry
Summary: Ianto's working late and he overhears something...
Warnings: Set between S2 finale and Children of Earth, so, as River Song would say, spoilers!
One late night in the Hub, Ianto was pouring coffee when he heard that voice. Toshiko's voice. Which was impossible, as Ianto knew very well.
He advanced carefully and located the origin of the voice: Gwen's computer. The welsh brunette was sitting in front of it, staring at the video that Tosh had recorded shortly after joining Torchwood, to be reproduced in case of her demise. Ianto thought that Jack had erased that video, but it would seem Gwen kept a copy.
And she was crying. Oh, the crying… it could melt the coldest heart to see the tears of that beautiful woman, to hear her sobbing as she re-watched the footage just to see her face again, to hear her voice speak to her once again, happy and optimistic and so full of life and hope… that was Tosh to you, always smiling, always shy, always there… one of the many reasons why losing her was utterly devastating.
Ianto doesn't approach Gwen, nor does he interfere in her mourning. Tosh wouldn't come back, there was no resurrection glove or other alien artifact this time, and Ianto decides that he shouldn't get in the way of Gwen's grief. She had lost so much… she deserved at least to mourn Tosh, her Tosh, as only Ianto knew, in privacy.
