    Summary

    People always say they can feel anxiety creeping up their chest.

    Owen has no clue what they’re going on about. His anxiety has never creeped. It’s never crawled. It’s never moved slowly in its life. 

    It’s taken him by the lungs before. It’s grasped them so tightly and so suddenly he thought they might burst. He’s choked on it as it shot down his throat and into the pit of his stomach like a foreign substance his body should reject. 

    But never has it creeped. 

    -----------

    Owen Harper has anxiety. No one causes that anxiety worse than his mother. Luckily, Jack Harkness is there.

    Summary

    “See, Jack could already be infected.” Ianto says and Jack removes his hand from his mouth to nod.

    “He’s right. We had such a rough night last night. I think I might have infected Ianto. Kept him up all night last night coughing. He barely got any sleep.” Jack says in that dramatic sort of tone that Owen can never decipher if it’s truthful. But his eyes seem earnest so Owen simply sighs and tries not to think about how it makes no sense for Ianto protect him from the bloody common cold if Jack’s going to sit there and be perfectly happy to breathe all over him.

    “Maybe if you two spent less time snogging in the office.” Owen simply grumbles and Jack lets out a laugh of sorts.

    Summary

    “Once upon a time,” Jack begins as though telling a fairy tale. Owen audibly groans in the background. “There was a squid.”

    Jack pauses for dramatic effect, letting the beginning of his tale wash over his captive (and captured by some right) audience.

    “Is this...?” Gwen murmurs, “A true story?”

    “Ianto?” Jack probes. “What do you think?”

    “Unfortunately, it may be.” Ianto says, his voice muffled slightly by his placement against Jack’s chest.

    -----------

    Have you ever wanted to know why Jack seemed so angry about the possibility of a Two Squid Transporter in Greeks Bearing Gifts? Well the Hub has accidentally gone into 24 hour lockdown and Jack's about to tell a bedtime story: The Tale of The Two Squid Transporter.
