[LOG WITH SULU][forward-dated to valentine's day]

Ianto had gotten back from Owen's birthday party and immediately gone to the fridge to get himself a lager. He had intended to leave early that night to sober up, but. He needed the alcohol. Needed the burn and the haze to get over the fact that he had just been talking to a friend that would be dead in a few months time. A friend who he'd watched die once already, and well. Yes, it was Valentine's day, and Sulu was coming over, but Ianto needed to wind down a little bit, and this was the only way he could think of accomplishing it fast enough.

He'd shucked his waistcoat and tie, glad that it wasn't nearly as warm there as it had been in Miami, and was laying sideways on his couch, nursing the beer and thinking about well. Everything really. More than anything, he was glad that the other man was coming over, so he could get his mind off of what he'd been fixating on for the past while. Owen's birthday being Valentine's Day...that was just damned awful timing, Ianto decided, and really hoped that him being upset about Owen wasn't going to ruin their evening.

Sulu shifted his weight as Ianto approached, unsure as to what he should do and maybe a little surprised at himself for being at such a loss. He imagined that he was looking kind of like an idiot, and up until Ianto kissed him, he'd wondered if that would cause a problem. But, the way Ianto pressed his mouth against Sulu's - yeah, he was pretty sure it was okay.

He grinned, a little more sure of himself when Ianto took the wine away, though a little bowled over by the kiss. "Uh, right, yeah," he said, shaking his head a bit before moving to follow Ianto to the kitchen. "We're just lucky I got some of that from my parents as a reward for... you know. Saving the Earth, and all." Really, it was just because they were proud to see him on the flagship of Starfleet, even if they didn't like the idea of him out in space. "And I wasn't going to drink it on my own."

"Yeah, but don't worry. I think they'd agree that this is a perfectly appropriate time to open it," Sulu laughed, knowing full well that they would think it was the most ridiculous thing ever. A good ridiculous, but still.

When Ianto took the bouquet and handed him the corkscrew, he had to take a moment to just admire the fact that, yes, Ianto was holding the roses that he'd gotten for him. It was nice, in a way that he couldn't really define. He liked it. He cleared his throat after a second and turned to handle the cork, looking briefly at the other man with a bit of a grin on his face. "Oh, yeah? Am I going to have to catch up, here?"
parked: (po-po-po-poker face)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-11 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Sulu managed to pry the cork out as Ianto talked, rolling his eyes goodnaturedly as Ianto pointed out his lightweight title. "Yeah, I know, take it slow." He wasn't about to let himself get too drunk, here. He was planning on doing a bit more than sitting around and drinking with Ianto, that was for sure.

He paused as Ianto mentioned his day, wondering if he should ask or just leave it alone. Finally, though, he turned to the other man, reaching out to take the glasses from him when he was close enough. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked, honestly unsure as to whether or not he did. It wouldn't exactly be romantic, that was for sure - but if it was bothering Ianto, Sulu would listen.
parked: (thinking it over)

Sulu knew that Ianto was upset by the meeting; the way he'd talked about the party before had been enough for him to know that it wasn't something he necessarily wanted to do. That it was uncomfortable, and he couldn't imagine how hard it was for Ianto to deal with Owen in person.

"I don't know him," Sulu said slowly, "So I can't say anything about him. But..." He hesitated, then put the glasses down and brought a hand up to Ianto's cheek. "I know you, and. I want you to know you can talk to me about this. I don't care what day it is, you know." He just knew that Ianto was oversimplifying it, trying to play it off, and if that's what he wanted to do, he'd let the other do it - but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try to get him to open up about it more, first.
parked: (bashful laugh)

Sulu shook his head, leaning in to press a kiss to Ianto's lips; a brief and gentle kiss, but a kiss nonetheless. "Don't worry," he replied, smiling a little, "I'm really not." He really didn't think anyone could be too good for Ianto. "I just like helping you feel better, whenever I can."

That's why he pulled away then, moving to pour a glass of wine for each of them before holding one of the glasses out to Ianto. If anything, Risan wine was sweet and tasted better than any bad taste Ianto's meeting with Owen could have left him with. "Here. We can go sit down and talk, if you want." It wouldn't be any fun for either of them if Ianto stayed upset, anyway. There was all night to get to the romantic part of Valentine's day, after all.
parked: (i love a good cup of coffee)

Sulu followed Ianto with his glass in hand, grinning a bit as Ianto tried to keep from completely slumping into the couch. He paused for a moment to toe off his shoes, pushing them to the side of the couch. "Sorry," he said, settling in on the other side of the couch, though he leaned more towards Ianto than the arm of the couch, "I've been in shoes all day. I figured you wouldn't mind." After all, later on... it'd probably be better if he wasn't wearing his shoes at all.

"Alright, so." Sulu held out his glass in a brief toast to Ianto, before taking a sip and smiling at him. "How are you doing, now that... you're back here, and not at the party?"
parked: (psychoanalyze time)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-12 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sulu wasn't sure how to proceed, here. He didn't know the cause of Owen's death - all he knew was that whenever Ianto had spoken about him, it had been in the past tense, and he'd always been... sad. Not upset, just....

He took another sip and shook his head. "I don't think there's exactly a standard emotion for this situation, so. His... What happens to him isn't really like what happened to you?" He doesn't want to bring up Ianto's death, but there's no getting around it. "It's not something we can bring him back from?"
parked: (thinking it over)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-12 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Sulu wasn't about to judge Ianto for drinking; he knew that things weren't as good as maybe he'd hoped they would be, and he knew that the party - well. It was a chance to see someone who'd died, and that was good and bad.

He paused at the question, though, honestly trying to remember. It had been a long time since they'd gone through the archives - he mentally reeled a little at just how long ago it seemed - and he had to think about it before he remembered. "Yeah, I remember you showing me that. It... brought people back after they'd died, but just for a few minutes, right?"
parked: (that's interesting)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-14 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sulu couldn't help but feel a little bad for Owen, there, but more than that, he felt terrible for Ianto and Jack. They had to watch him die again - twice. He had no doubt the community would show them, either. It liked doing that sort of thing, he knew.

But still. If there was no body - who knew. Time was a strange thing when the community was involved - like a black hole, it could mess up any timeline and make things happen differently. He imagined that Ianto's fate would've been different, if he hadn't been on the community... and that made him chew his lip a little, fretting it as he thought about the implications of that. Shaking his head clear, he finally nodded at what Ianto was saying. "You're not whining, Ianto. Never think that, okay?" He reached out with his free hand and put it on Ianto's knee. "Don't worry about it. But... I think you might. I mean... You might have an idea there. it's something to consider, at least. For all you know, that's what ends up happening to him...'
parked: (bashful laugh)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Sulu smiled and met Ianto's sort-of toast with one of his own. "Yeah, happy Valentine's day." He laughed a little, ducking his head as he let the previous conversation drop for the meantime, "I hope that I'm not embarrassing you too much with the roses and the wine or anything."

He took a sip of his wine, mostly because he could use the extra courage alcohol gave, but also because he really did enjoy Risan wine. It was just one of those things. He added after a moment, smile turning a bit sly, "Not that I don't mind embarrassing you so much, so long as we're not around anyone."

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-15 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Sulu grinned. "Seriously? You should've expected those at least! I'm always giving you plants, somehow." Which was the truth, and he'd hesitated on bringing Ianto flowers to begin with, but Claire had insisted they were proper, so... He laughed and shook his head. "And don't worry, I'm not going to try and get you drunk just to make you blush. You do it plenty sober."

He looked at the bottle of wine briefly, before looking back to Ianto. "As for the wine, it's from Risa - it's sort of like a vacation planet. It's got all of the usual tourist trappings, and they make really good wine. I... really don't know too much about it; I've never been. But I hear it's nice." Maybe sometime he could go, and take Ianto with him. Of course, that was a long way down the line... but hey. Ianto was going to be around then, right?
parked: (haha uh no sir)

[personal profile] parked 2011-02-15 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Sulu wasn't sure whether or not Ianto really liked the fact that he'd decided to give him roses - after all, like Ianto said, they... well, they were a statement. Admittedly, it was the kind of statement Sulu wanted to make, even if he couldn't physically say it aloud, but he didn't know how Ianto felt about it. So, he just ducked his head, drank down some of his wine quicker than before, and laughed a little. "Well, if you want, I'll make sure to only get you potted plants from now on."

He shrugged at the question, though, looking back up to Ianto, "Yeah... well, sort of. Risa is pretty much the only real planet meant to be a resort, but people sometimes go to other Federation planets for vacations. Or the moon. But it's not like taking a week off to go to Florida, or something, you have to plan for it and you're usually gone for more than a week. Risa's really just a giant resort, with beaches and that sort of thing."
