Drabble: Bedtime Story

Title: Bedtime Story

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Owen, Nosy

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 299 – Green Eggs and Ham at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: It’s Owen’s night on duty.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

It was Owen’s turn on night duty, so he’d come prepared.

Snacks, a handheld computer game for entertainment until bedtime, his iPod loaded with great music, and something else hidden at the bottom of his bag that he’d made sure no one else found out about.

The team had all gone home, Jack and Ianto were on a date and the Hub was quiet. Nosy slithered obediently into its bunk and Owen tucked it in.

“Ready for your bedtime story?”

Nosy hummed eagerly.

Owen pulled a book from his bag and settled down.

“Green Eggs and Ham, by Doctor Seuss…”

The End

awwwww he does have a heart!!!
loved that book!

Owen definitely has a heart, he just tries to hide it from the rest of the team. He doesn't want then knowing what a softie he is. (He has a complete collection of Dr Seuss books hidden in his flat).

Thank you.

Sweet! Nosy would love that book!

Thanks to Owen, Nosy is becoming a big fan of Dr Seuss.

Is it any surprise that Nosy gave its first Flufflet to Owen and Tosh? It knew Dizzy would be in good hands because of all the things Owen did for it in the past.

Hee hee! This was so cute! A little Nosy and Owen bonding time. :)

[bk_forever]

Thank you. I love writing them together, they make such unlikely friends.

[lexxiescott]

Oh, that's perfect! I love it :)

[bk_forever]

Thank you. I could just see Owen sneaking the book in to read to Nosy. He's a big softie, but he tries his best to keep the rest of the team from finding out.

Aww I like it when Owen is all sweet with Nosy. Great drabble.

[bk_forever]

Thank you.

Nosy brings out Owen's nurturing side - plus Nosy won't laugh at Owen for liking Dr Seuss books.

LOVE Dr. Seuss! Bet Nosy will love all his stories.

[bk_forever]

Owen is secretly a HUGE fan and has all the Dr Seuss books. Nosy is delighted because Owen sneaks one in each time it's his night duty and reads it to Nosy =)

I love Dr Seuss too, I think I'm going to start seeing if I can pick some up from charity shops. They're so popular though, they usually get snapped up quickly. I haven't read them since I was a kid.

Thank you.

I knew under that under snarky exterior Owen hides behind was a heart of gold. Lucky Fluff.

Owen is a big softie, he just hides it from everyone except Nosy. It's my belief that Owen owns all the Dr Seuss books, they're hidden in his flat but he likes to share them wih Nosy.

Thank you.

Aww
I hope Nosy enjoyed its bedtime story :-)

[bk_forever]

I'm sure it did, it shares Owen's love of the works of Dr Seuss!

Thank you.

[timelordshines.livejournal.com]

I love Dr Seuss too.
Cat in the Hat is best of course :-)
Also love the Butter Battle Book.

[bk_forever]

Me too. I don't really have a favourite, he's just very clever. Someone wrote a Janto version of Green Eggs and Ham. Wish I could remember who,

Awesome!

[bk_forever]

Thank you. I needed something fluffy.

rrrrrhhhhhoooooooooo

:-) This is completely cute!!
Especially from Owen.
I love it.

Re: rrrrrhhhhhoooooooooo

[bk_forever]

Thank you.

Owen is a big softie.

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

I love how Owen has such a soft spot for Fluffs. Very sweet. <3<3

It sounds like a wonderful evening. :)

Owen and Nosy are pals and playmates (Owen has a rather juvenile side that appeals to Nosy). It's only fair that Owen shares his favourite childhood books with his fluffy friend. Just as long as the rest of the team don't find out!

Thank you.
