Who: Owen and Ianto
What: Talking and drinking
When: Monday night

Ianto was greeted at the door by Lyssa who smiled at him then looked mournfully at the beer he was carrying. Instead for her there was milkshake which she seemed happy to wander off to the kitchen with while he went to the living room where he hoped he'd find Owen.

"Hey." He held up the beer. "My way of saying thanks. Amazed you still want to see me after the last week." He looked slightly awkward standing about for a moment. Then he suddenly spoke.

"I think I just asked Gwen out on a date."

Owen looked up from the auto magazine he'd been flipping through. Tossing it on the coffee table, he rose to his feet and wandered over to Ianto, patting him on the back. "Oi, that's ok. She's a nice girl. And I'm telling ya, great legs."

Owen leaned against the sofa, raising an eyebrow at Ianto. Beer was always good. Why was Ianto bringing it, though? "What about blondie?"

	Ianto opened his mouth to say something then shook his head. "I keep wondering why she likes me, I am a mess with her." He pushed the beer into Owen's hands and went to sit down. "I'm going to mess it up even more with her now this with Gwen." He put his head in his hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're a mess with her cause you like her. Pillock." He shook his head and sat down next to Ianto on the sofa, with a bit of room between them. "Well, you might. And you might not." He took one of the beers and opened it, placing the cap on the table and taking a long swig. "Be honest with her. Women like that honesty shit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ianto sat up and blinked at Owen. "When the hell did you get good at the relationship advice?" No insult, nothing hidden, just a genuine question that surprised him, quickly reaching out for a beer himself, since they were there also he wanted to get slightly less sober.

Owen frowned. "I can be nice when I fucking want to be. I have Lyssa don't I? And she hasn't buggered off yet. I might actually know what I'm fucking doing. On the rare occasion." He took a long swig of his beer and watched Ianto, eyeing him with a curious expression.

"Of course women like honesty. I know this because I'm never honest, or I wasn't before, and it always bit me in the fucking arse. Look at what happened with Gwen and me, for fuck's sake. And that was all under Rhys' nose." He sighed. "So how'd ya ask her out?"

	"More than the rare occassion." Lyssa shouted in from the kitchen, of course she was just a little bit listening in on their conversation. "They were some damn good occassions. Quite a few occassions actually, mostly the reason I'm having a baby. But go on with your conversation, please." She fell silent happy to just listen again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ianto looked at Owen, that was more than he needed to know there. "I was saying thanks for last week by offering to take her out for a drink then I might have added it's a date there she said if you like and now I'm here." Ianto managed to drink half the beer in one go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"LYSSA." He shook his head. "You don't have to eavesdrop. You can bloody join us." He looked up to the kitchen, rolling his eyes at Ianto as he did so. "Just get your arse out here so I don't have to bloody yell. And no telling about our shagging!"

He turned back to Ianto. "Ok, so you've been on a date with blondie. Go with Gwen, see who you enjoy more, and pick your answer there. Or go and see who shags better."

"See you were doing so well, then you broke it." From the door to the kitchen she pointed. "If you ignore the 'see who shags better' he's right. Don't get used to it, Owen." She smirked and headed over.

"An' just why not?" She leant on the back of the sofa. "Thought you'd be all for telling people anyway." She held a glass out. "Trade you. Milkshake for some beer." She moved round to kiss him then stopped turning to Ianto.

"If it's because what you think you should have with Gwen, then don't do that, wouldn't be fair. 'Sides, there could be a universe were you and him hooked up, adopted or something." She sat between them and innocently began drinking the milkshake again.

	"But I..." Ianto finished his beer in protest of something. "I can't I'm not like... Jack." He finished badly. "Oh hell that universe would be better right now." It took him a moment to realise what he'd said. "Because I wouldn't be in this situation right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Owen wrapped an arm around her waist, yet held the beer just out of her reach. "I'll give you something else for the milkshake, but not the beer." He waggled his eyebrows at her and turned back to Ianto.

"No, you're not Jack. Or me. You're better than both of us. And if you ever tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it and shoot you. That said... You have to figure out which one you like. If you won't do it by shagging, then what do you want?"

	"Contrary to your popular belief... the..." Ianto gave up, he realised who he was sitting with. "I want someone I can talk with, spend time with, just sit in silence sometimes and be comfortable. You two must know that, can't just be about sex." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Me? Admit there's more to it than just sex..." He looked over at Lyssa and felt a little soft spot in his heart. It was more than just sex with her. Not that he'd admit that to Ianto. But the bloke had a point. Lyssa, Owen felt, was his match. He turned back to Ianto, raising an eyebrow. He was going to regret this, he could feel it.

"It is more than just sex. I know..." He sighed, hugging Lyssa closer, resting his head on her shoulder. "So what you have to do, coffee boy, is figure out who it is? Gwen or blondie. What is her name again? Doesn't matter. Which one do you talk with. Which one are you comfortable with. Which one is your match..." He sighed. "Shame to see the blond go, though. Better tits then Gwen, I imagine."
