Drabble: Love Isn’t Blind

Title: Love Isn’t Blind

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Rhys, mentions Gwen and Jack

Rating: G

Spoilers: Sort of for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Summary: Rhys loves Gwen, despite her faults.

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

A/N: For one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use. Prompt at end.

Rhys knows with every inch of his being that Gwen’s the only one for him, although he doesn’t always know why. He’s not blind, he knows she has a roving eye, has seen her checking out that flash boss of hers and is painfully aware he doesn’t measure up in comparison

She’s not perfect. She can be shallow, self-involved, hypocritical and oblivious, but she’s also loving, caring and compassionate, and that’s the Gwen he cherishes.

After all, he’s not perfect either.

So tonight he’ll go down on one knee, say: “Gwennie, will you marry me?” and hope she says yes.

The End

A/N2: Title used was ‘Marry Me’

Yep this guy has his eyes wide open and I'm glad he realizes what she's like and her lust for Jack. I often wondered how she behaved with Rhys after Jack left for the last time... good drabble!

Thank you! I got tired of Rhys being the poor, ignorant sap, so I decided he wasn't like that at all. He has no illusions about Gwen, but he sees a side of her we (the viewers) don't see and therefore still loves her.

Thank you!
