I'm sorry this took so long to finish. The fandom changed so much after CoE. But I finished! I hope you enjoy it. Reviews are appreciated.
Owen Harper glanced at his workmate as he walked up from his laboratory. He pulled his gloves off with a wet snap. Toshiko Sato was focused on her computers; her quick taps on her keyboard filled the otherwise silent room. Owen threw away his gloves and cautiously approached her.
"What you working on, Tosh?" he asked looking at the screens over her shoulder. They were filled with images and codes to something that even Owen and his doctrine degree did not understand. Toshiko glanced at him over her glasses before turning back to her screens.
"Jack has me working on a new project. I'll probably be here until morning," she lamented as she returned to her typing.
"Well…" Owen trailed off before tapped his hand on the desk in thought. He thought about offering her some help but really what could he do to help her? Make tea? He was not Ianto.
Instead he smiled.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." Toshiko nodded but did not look toward him or stop typing. Owen shrugged his lab coat off and threw his leather jacket over his shoulder. He watched her, seeing if she would respond. Nothing. He nodded then exited the pressurized door, not noticing Toshiko turning as he left. She watched the door close behind him as he took the steps two at a time. She sighed and returned to her work.
