Author's Notes: Have I mentioned that I'm horrible at titles?

I really, really hope they don't go this way. It would break my fangirl heart. And if they do it next week with Gwen's wedding episode, I'm going to just cry.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know! I get the feeling we should tell him though."

"We? What we? You started it, spying on the boss."

"Oh, stuff it, Owen."

"It's true! You wanted to see if Jack was being as careful as normal with the cameras. Total fangirl, and I didn't even know it. You're finally starting to be interesting, Tosh."

"Owen!"

"Anyway, don't tell him. It'll just break his heart."

"I think Ianto deserves to know--"

"--Deserves to know what?"

Toshiko and Owen stood and turned guiltily, blocking the computer screens with their upper bodies. "Nothing," Owen replied immediately.

Ianto shrugged and started going about tidying up. Pizza boxes everywhere. Honestly, had they all been born in stables?

"Ianto," Tosh started in her I have bad news voice, and he sighed inwardly. Lovely. Just lovely. "Ianto, it's... it's Jack." She swallowed a little. "I'm not sure how to tell you this..." She looked at Owen, unsure.

Owen sighed. "Ianto, Jack's screwing Gwen."

Ianto blinked a little. Thank you Owen. At least he didn't beat around the proverbial bush. "Ah. Well. Who hasn't?" he replied easily before bending over to continue his task.

Tosh smacked Owen one before turning back to Ianto. "You mean, you knew?"

"Jack Harkness is many things, but subtle he is not," Ianto replied without looking up. "Besides, it's not like we're exclusive or anything." He gathered up the boxes and looked up at Toshiko and Owen. Owen was nodding, already turning back to his station, but Tosh was giving him her That's so sad look.

"It's fine, Tosh, honest. I knew what I was getting into when I started this."

The Asian woman crossed her arms, staring him down critically before deciding he was telling the truth. "If you ever need to just talk to someone about it..."

Ianto smiled. "I will." He walked past her, pausing to lean in. "Besides, he just sleeps with Gwen. He comes back to me."
