So let us melt, and make no noise - Owen, GnevcolleilJuly 1 2011, 14:57:49 UTC
"It's a tradition," Owen says, "It's fun." And he says it with just enough leer in his voice, in his smirk, to ensure no misunderstanding of his meaning when he says 'fun'. "What more can you ask for? Who wants in?"
Of course, no one raises their hand. Ianto looks harried, juggling coffee cups and file folders and other sorts of detritus left to be tidied up at the end of a busy work week. Tosh looks hurts, as per usual; Gwen looks fairly disgusted.
Only Jack looks like he sees straight through Owen's bullshit (cause he does) but Owen isn't looking at Jack.
Of course, Owen knew this day would come. Was a time, nobody gave him grief bout things like this. Personal things. He's made a name for himself at Torchwood, and that name is Cocky Bastard. And probably loads of other things much less pleasant. The mask chafes now and again - but only now and again, and there was a time that a mask was all he needed. He gave Tosh a nasty leer and nobody double-checked to see if this "birthday" of his and the date of birth on his records

Had to go and get a tissue after reading this one. Gorgeous and sad fill. I like that only Jack knows the real reason for the time off. Loved the comparison between Owen's public and private selves. Thank you for writing this.
