Spoilers: None.
Summary: Tosh is too practical to splash out on something she doesn’t need, no matter how much she wants it.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
The bag was pale purple leather, butter soft to the touch, and Tosh coveted it the moment she saw it in the exclusive little boutique. It was also wickedly expensive, and being the practical sort, Tosh just couldn’t justify spending so much.
That didn’t stop her pausing to gaze longingly at it whenever she passed the shop window.
Until, one day she paused to look and it was gone.
Smiling sadly, she returned to the Hub.
OoOoOoOoO
Weeks later…
“Happy Birthday, Tosh.”
Seeing the joy on her face as she opened his present, Owen decided it had been worth every penny.
The End
Owen's POV 'Worth The Price'

I'd love to see Owen's POV leading up to the purchase of the bag.
Great job!

I love Tosh, but usually seem to wind up writing sad drabbles for her. This time though, the idea just fit her so well and had a happy ending, so that makes me happy. Glad you liked it. I'll try to write Owen's POV, just for you.

But I have to say that I thought Ianto was the one who had bought it for her.

Thank you.

Date: 2013-11-13 06:25 pm (UTC)I think by this point Owen and Tosh are dating and Owen has mellowed somewhat. He's still very much Owen, but his thoughtful side comes to the surface occasionally and he wanted to show Tosh how much she means to him.
Thank you.

Date: 2013-11-14 12:45 pm (UTC)Tosh is too practical to spend a lot on such a luxury as a bag that isn't suitable for work - it's not like she gets a lot of time off.
Thank you.
