Fic: Mistletoe & Wine (Part 1 of ?)

Title: Mistletoe & Wine (Part 1 of ?)
Pairing: Rhys/Gwen, slight Tosh/Owen
Genre: Comes from an idea I had myself for a change. Helped by the ever helpful friends I have in America
Summary: Gwen comes home for Christmas and has a few thoughts as she does.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this. Apart from the idea. Rest is BBC and their respective owners. The world these live in now comes from Coffee-Flavoured Kisses. Will post the next chapter on Tuesday. :)

“Tosh? Anything happening?” Gwen asked, leaning over her shoulder and glancing at the screen.
“Surprisingly? No. Nothing at all is going on. The Rift is quiet.”
“I’m going to tak-” Gwen stopped as she felt her phone buzz in her pocket. “Excuse me.”
Gwen walked away from Tosh and pulled her small phone out of her jean pocket, pressing the answer button and holding it to her ear.
“Hello love! What’s up?”
“Any chance you can be home for Christmas?” Rhys asked, gently putting the last Christmas decoration on top of the tree.
“I don’t know…There’s only three of us here and…” Gwen stopped as she heard a loud bang and curses coming from the other end of the phone. “Rhys? Rhys, are you up that ladder again?”
“I’m alright! Just putting the star on the top. As you like it. Slipped off the bloody edge, didn’t I!” Rhys replied, laughing. “Couldn’t you just spend one day with me, Gwen? It’s Christmas.”
Gwen sighed, glancing over at Tosh and Owen.
“Well…one day, ok? I’ll be home soon.”
“You are a bloody Saint, Gwen.”
“I know,” Gwen said, smiling to herself. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
She hung up on her phone and put it in her pocket.
“Hey, guys. You don’t mind if I take the day off do you? I mean, Rhys asked me if I could have a day with him and it is Christmas. And there isn’t anything going on…”
“Oh, so it’s ok for you to go gallivanting with your boyfriend, but me and Tosh have to stay here, suffering for your sake?” Owen asked, staring at her.
“I don’t ask for much…”
“I don’t think you should go, personally. It’s not fair.”
“Maybe…for a day…it would be ok. I mean, Owen, we don’t have any families. We could spend Christmas together?” Tosh suggested, glancing at Owen hopefully.
Owen just rolled his eyes at Tosh and stood up, walking off into his medical lab. Tosh sighed slightly, looking over at Gwen with a forced smile.
“You go have a good time with Rhys. Owen and I will be fine. We’ll call you if anything’s up.”
Gwen smiled, hugging Tosh quickly and grabbing her coat, rushing towards the door. “Love you Tosh!” Gwen called out, walking out of the door.
Tosh sighed, pulling her glasses off and rubbing her eyes. “Lucky me…”
