@canspotatimeagent – Owen needs love and hugs as well.
Owen silently slipped into Jack’s office.
Gwen, Tosh and Ianto had gone home and hour ago,
Owen having stayed back to finish his report.
He too would have went home like usual…
If it wasn’t the date that it was.
It was the one day that he could not be alone,
or risk drinking himself into a coma.. or worse…
It was his Ex-Fiancee’s Death anniversary…
The Londoner sat on the edge of the desk,
a little shy to just sit down on the captains lap
and wrung his hands together.
This was a ritual of their’s, having started it
after Jack came to check up on him that first year.
He didnt know what happed, only that he awoke in a hospital 29 hours later,
Jack sitting next to his bed…
Now jack wouldn’t let him drink alone on this day,
Not wanting a repeat of what happened…
and honestly, he was grateful, because there wasn’t anyone he trusted more than Jack Harkness… and that was saying something.
He also really didnt mind the kisses.
Even if he knew jack wouldn’t actually want to date a bastard like him.
He would get what he was given, even if it was once a year.
