Title: Sneak Thief
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Owen, Nosy
Rating: G
Written For: Quiet Time, for leaving the 200th review on my ff.net drabble collection. Probably not exactly what you wanted, but I hope it’s close enough!
Spoilers: None at all.
Summary: Nosy is curious about Owen’s odd habit….
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Nosy had noticed Owen often seemed to be chewing something, and was naturally curious. It had been watching for days, and now it saw Owen unwrap something from silvery paper.
“Owen, can you spare a minute?” called Jack from his office.
Cursing under his breath, Owen put down the paper and its contents.
“What is it now?” he grumbled, heading up the steps.
As soon as Owen had gone, Nosy slunk forward and sniffed. Minty! It delicately picked up the strange thing and started chewing.
A few minutes later, Owen returned to his workstation.
“’Ere, who’s pinched my chewing gum?”
The End
(It's a miracle it hasn't happened yet - we all know where people tend to park their gum, and with Nosy always slithering under the furniture...)
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Is the mint that he decided to try? or that Owen chews.
In fact, Nosy is also very clever: he made the association.
Thank you!
Thank you!
