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

Ianto chuckled slightly at the mention of the shower and the wine, nodding in agreement. "Yeah," he said, in agreement, his brain not really working correctly at that moment. "Both of those sound amazing, honestly. Although..." He motioned to the coffee table right in front of them. "The wine's closer." It just meant that one of them would have to get up to get it, which...Ianto didn't know that he could do in that moment, really. He was getting that wonderfully boneless feeling that he sometimes got after really enjoying himself like he had, and while it didn't necessarily mean that he was tired, he didn't feel like doing much of anything at all.

Groaning slightly, Ianto forced himself to lean forward and grab the wine, pouring the pair of them glasses before sitting back on the sofa, handing Sulu one of them. Never mind that the pair of them were sitting there naked on Ianto's sofa in the front room of his flat. "...cheers," he said, raising his glass to the other man with a lopsided smile.

Sulu slid off of Ianto as he started moving, though he rested his legs over Ianto's thighs instead of fully pulling himself off of the other. He took the glass that was offered to him, grinning back at Ianto, maybe a little bashful. His face was a little red from everything they'd been up to, and just because he knew as well as Ianto did that they were sitting there, naked on his couch. Still, it wasn't as though there was anyone else around, and they really didn't have any need to cover up, not after what they'd been up to.

"Cheers," he responded, ducking his head as he took a long sip of his wine, unable to keep from grinning a bit stupidly about the whole situation.

He smiled, pleased that the other man was looking as flushed and, well, disheveled as he was sure he looked in that moment. Ianto rested his arm across Sulu's legs as he raised his glass and took a long sip of the wine himself, before lowering the glass to speak up. "You know," he said, with a smirk, "I'm not used to seeing you blush. But I have to say, I kind of like it." He raised the glass to his mouth, blushing slightly himself, but managing to stay pretty suave about it anyway as he added, "I. Can sort of see the appeal now..." And then he took a sip of his wine, trying hard not to hide behind the glass as he did so.

Sulu grinned into his glass at Ianto's comment, knowing full well that his face was far redder than usual and not minding it. He was feeling good; loose and relaxed, with Ianto there beside him, and since they weren't being besieged by ghosts or aliens, he figured they were in the clear now. He realized he'd been feeling maybe a little awkward up until they'd opened the wine, and now he supposed he was letting that show a little. But it was all right, because he was showing it to Ianto.

"Can you?" he responded, leaning forward to rest himself against Ianto's chest, realizing a little too late that he was all but curling up on the other's lap despite the fact that he wasn't at all tired. "Well. Anything to help you see how attractive it is can't be bad, I guess."

Ianto nodded, smiling, as he brought up his arm to wrap around Sulu's back, resting at his waist and holding the other man close there to his chest. Ianto had absolutely no problem with Sulu being curled up in his lap, and in fact, he rather enjoyed it. Being tangled up with the other man was...well. More than just rather nice, according to Ianto's mentality.

Ianto might have been drinking his wine too fast, or maybe it was the combination of that and the post-sex haze that was loosening his tongue, but he was feeling a lot bolder with what he was saying than normally, so. Might as well try and get the suave lines out before he completely bollocksed up the situation and all. "Mmm," he said, "I can see why people would go for it. It is rather charming and all. Although for me... I like the smile more," he said, meaning the bashful grin that Sulu had plastered across his face, as smoothly as he could despite the blushing and bashful smiling that he was doing as well.

Ianto's compliment did nothing to help Sulu tone down his smile, or his blush for that matter. He just grinned and leaned his head against Ianto's shoulder briefly before taking a longer and bigger drink from his glass. "Yeah, well." He laughed a little, "My mom always said I had a nice smile."

Then again, she also said that he only ever smiled when he was up to something. Which, he supposed, wasn't too far from the truth, because he found his free hand tracing random patterns down Ianto's chest. "I thought you liked my hands, though," he said, managing to sound as casual as he could in their situation. He was going to need a few minutes to rebound, but hey. It wasn't like they got nights off like this often.

Ianto smiled into his wine glass, laughing gently at the other man's comment. "Well. Then I'd have to agree with her, there. It is a nice smile." Ianto was proud of how smooth he was being as he raised his wine glass to take a sip again, happy that he wasn't completely screwing this up and that they did have the time to just mess about as they were. That they had the option to...maybe start things up again in a short while, if the pair of them were interested. Which Ianto was willing to bet that they were.

"I do like your hands," Ianto said, his voice a little softer, since, well. He really did like Sulu's hands, as evidenced by the fact that he was shivering slightly under the other man's touch. "That doesn't mean that I can't like other parts of you, though, does it?" he asked, coyly.

Shifting against Ianto, Sulu pressed his fingertips against Ianto's chest, not quite dragging his nails across the other's skin. He liked the fact that Ianto liked his smile and his hands, and even his blush - even if he was a little embarrassed by that, if he was being honest.

"I'd hope that you like other parts of me," he grinned, pressing a kiss to Ianto's jawline as he spoke. "After all, that's sort of an important part of a relationship. I think, at least." He wasn't even sure if they'd ever talked about what this was, in general, other than the time they'd addressed it before their first date. He wasn't even sure if now as a good time to bring it up, either, but hey. They were in a relationship, and that was all Sulu really needed to know.

Ianto was well aware that they hadn't really put a name to what this was between the pair of them. Every time he spoke about Sulu, every time he mentioned him to people on the community, he never knew what to refer to him as. He knew that they were dating (even if they'd only been on a handful of dates so far), but. That didn't really mean anything, exactly. He didn't think of him as his boyfriend, not exactly, that felt like too grade school a term for him, but. Lover sounded weird to him, and partner was... The relationship bit was really the only part he was certain of.

"It is. An important part of a relationship, that is. Liking all the different parts." It was Ianto's turn to duck his head and blush this time (although he was generally the one to be doing that anyway). "So. Hopefully there are things that you like about me too. Besides the blush, that is..."

Sulu smiled as Ianto blushed, nodding a bit along with what Ianto was saying. He was pretty sure he'd told the other before about the things he liked about him, but hey. Repetition was good. "I know I like things about you that aren't just your blush. Your eyes, for one. I think I've made that pretty clear, though." He took a sip of his wine, wanting to polish it off but also wanting to keep flirting, playing with Ianto, making the most of the night.

"I like your mouth, too," he added, voice dropping a little, "Everything about that is pretty nice, too." Especially when it tasted like wine; it was hard to resist kissing him normally, but now - well, he had no reason to resist. So he leaned over and kissed the other man, trying to not get carried away despite how hard it was not to.

Ianto did know those--that Sulu liked his eyes, his mouth. At least, he thought he remembered hearing the last one at one point. It was hard to be able to concentrate when Sulu was kissing him like that. Ianto's arm was wrapped around the other man, and his other hand was preoccupied holding the wine glass, so he couldn't do much other than kiss him back. He was going to have to finish this wine. He wanted to have his hand free to have the option of touching him more. Running his hand up his thigh. ...grabbing him and dragging him upstairs before things got too intense to want to move again.

Ianto pulled back after a moment, the taste of wine on his lips not only from his own drinking but also from the kiss, and his head spinning from it. "I'm glad," he said, his lips barely a hair's breadth away from the other man's. "Would be rather unfortunate if you didn't. I rather like kissing you, after all..." As if to prove a point, Ianto closed the distance between them, but rather than passionate like they'd been doing before, Ianto gave him the softest, most teasing kiss he could, barely even touching, before pulling back and smirking at him coyly.

At least they were both in agreement about finishing the wine; Sulu wanted both of his hands free, after all. It made things like this easier, and he wanted to take advantage of the night while he could. Still, when Ianto gave him that brief little kiss, he sort of forgot all about his wine in favor of leaning forward to pursue that smirking mouth. He had a lot of patience, but right now...

"I'm glad," he said, pulling back, tilting his glass up and drinking the last of his wine without thinking about how he was supposed to drink it. "But I like other things, too, you know."

"Oh, you do, do you?" Ianto asked, smirking at the other man again as he tossed back the glass of wine. He knew why Sulu wanted to, and honestly, if he weren't already still pretty tipsy, he'd do it as well, but he wanted to keep his head mostly about him, so he sipped. Faster than he would normally, and alright, taking bigger swallows too. Sipping the wine also meant he could hide behind his glass again as he asked Sulu to elaborate on that statement of his, because. Well, now that he'd said it, Ianto was curious.

"Should I...should I ask what other things you might be talking about there, then?" Ianto asked, skirting about the subject yet making it very clear that he wanted to know. "Or... Are you going to be ambiguous about this and keep me guessing...?" Ianto blushed again, taking another sip of his wine. There were only really two swallows left; if only he could just tip it back like Sulu had.

Sulu grinned and twisted, reaching out to put his glass down on the coffee table before leaning back over and curling his now free arm around Ianto's shoulders. "Well. I think being ambiguous will get you to blush more, and I really do love the way you look when you do that, so..." He leaned in to kiss Ianto's ear, going so far as to lightly nip at his earlobe. "I think I'll keep it that way. Then again... I could always show you."

Which was something he really wanted to do, more than anything. If only Ianto would finish his drink quicker...

Ianto had been raising his glass to his mouth again, trying not to shiver as Sulu nipped at his ear. He was midway through taking a sip of the wine when Sulu suggested that he show him and it was all he could do to remember how to swallow correctly and not choke on the wine. Which pretty much resulted in Ianto kicking back a large swallow of it, loud enough to be audible as he did so. Well. He was almost done with the wine, now, at least, even if he did feel slightly light-headed for drinking it down so fast.

"...'show me' what it is that you like about me...?" Ianto asked, half a question, half repeating Sulu's words back at him. He... He liked the sound of that. Liked it very much. He was pretty sure that he wanted to move upstairs if they were going to get into any showing, however. More space up there, for one. And the bed was more comfortable. The only issue was that they actually had to get there. And Ianto had to finish this wine...

Grinning against Ianto's ear, Sulu nodded a bit, shifting in Ianto's lap. "Like the old saying goes, talk is cheap. And you like my hands, so..." He dropped his one arm away from Ianto's shoulders, moving it to Ianto's side, trailing his fingers against his skin. "I can put them to good use."

He knew he was probably going at this a little over-zealously, but he was a little tipsy and very comfortable with their position, and maybe a little mellow and boneless from what they'd been up to previously. It was hard not to want to keep touching Ianto at this point, and he really wanted to make the most of the night they had together.

Ianto shivered at the touch on his side. Sulu knew he liked his hands, that he liked them very much, and to be trailing them all about like this, well. It was working on getting Ianto worked up again, and pretty quickly all things considered. Making an executive decision and deciding that he was already pretty tipsy anyway, what harm could be done, he tipped back the rest of his wine and finished it off right then and there. Ianto leaned forward, putting the glass on the table, before sitting back and putting his now free hand on the other man's chest, keeping his other arm around his back.

"I do like them," Ianto said. "I...especially like them when they're touching me. When you're touching me..." Ianto leaned forward, bringing his hand from Sulu's chest to cup his cheek and turn his head into a kiss. "You taste like wine," Ianto observed after a moment, pulling back to crook a smile at the other man as he did so.

Since his hands couldn't quite reach anywhere other than Ianto's side, he reluctantly made do with what he had and brought his fingers to drag along Ianto's chest, from collarbone to as far down his stomach as he could get before he hit his own legs. He followed into the kiss without a second thought, the move being like second nature to him now. A good reflex to have with Ianto, he figured.

He licked his lips as Ianto pulled away, smiling a little at his comment. "I'd expect so," he said, "I've been drinking a pretty good amount of really good wine, after all. I just hope you like the taste."

Ianto nodded, licking his lips slightly as he smiled at the other man. "I do," he said, almost smugly. Because he did. He liked the taste of the wine, and...well. Sulu himself. Which was good, considering...the pair of them did quite a lot of kissing. It would be rather unfortunate if he didn't. After a moment of thought, Ianto reached out his hand and laid it on Sulu's hand, moving to grip it. His eyes were turned down to the ground, although whether it was out of actual bashfulness or pretend, even Ianto himself wasn't quite sure.

"...want to move upstairs?" he asked, after a moment. "I... I really like being down here on the couch, but. Don't really know that I'll be able to motivate myself to go upstairs after too much longer, and this isn't nearly as nice to fall asleep on..."

There was nothing else Sulu would enjoy more than going upstairs at that moment. He nodded, resting his head briefly on Ianto's shoulder before shifting to slide his legs off of Ianto's. If they were going to move, it had to be now, because the longer they stayed down there, the less likely they were to ever move.

"I think upstairs is a great idea," he said, grinning wide. He finally pushed himself off of the couch, not even taking into account that they were both naked and their clothes were strewn everywhere, and held out his hand to Ianto.

Ianto smiled at Sulu as he stood up, reaching out to take the other man's hand before pulling himself upright. He was glad that Sulu's hand was in his because he did waver for a moment, feeling slightly weak kneed from the way he'd been sitting, the way he'd been drinking, and well. Everything they'd been up to as well. He smiled at Sulu reassuringly to say that he was fine, and gripped the other man's hand.

"Right, so," he said, with a smile. "Upstairs. Bedroom?" They could take a shower, but. God, Ianto was getting tired, and he rather fancied anther go before he fell asleep. Which...could happen in the shower, but would be that much more exhausting than it would be if they just went straight to the bed and did things in a much more comfortable environment. The shower would be there in the morning, after all.

Sulu wouldn't have turned down a shower, that was for sure, but he felt a little sleepy too, and drying off afterwards would be just that much more he'd need to do before he could crash. And besides... Well. He wanted to show Ianto just what parts of him he enjoyed.

So, he nodded and tugged Ianto's hand as he made his way towards the stairs. "Definitely the bedroom." He cast one last look back at their clothes, then decided that it really, really wasn't worth it. He could get them later, after all. "I promised I'd give you a hands on demonstration of everything I like about you, after all..."

Ianto let himself be tugged along, blushing slightly as Sulu reminded him of his promise, but nodding. He really did want to have this hands on demonstration of everything Sulu liked. Even if... Even if he knew without a doubt that he'd be blushing a whole lot, and maybe even a little bit embarrassed, because he'd never been very good at taking compliments. It wouldn't matter because...he'd be hearing what Sulu had to say, and. He wanted to hear what he had to say about this.

"Yeah, alright," Ianto said, with a smile, before starting up the stairs. "The bedroom." And they made their way up the stairs, to the top before turning and going into Ianto's bedroom. Ianto stopped, debating whether he wanted to switch on the light when the room was already lit with that blue-ish glow of the flowers that Sulu had gotten him not too long ago. Now that he was there, though, Ianto was feeling a little bashful again, so he paused, smiling slightly at Sulu, and wondered what next, waiting for instruction. Sulu was calling the shots now, and Ianto would go wherever and do whatever the other man wanted him to, he decided.

Normally, Sulu would want the lights on for something like this, so that nothing was really hidden from view, but... He liked the way lunar flowers glowed, and he liked that they provided enough light to make things visible. Plus, the blue glow was perfect against Ianto's skin. So, recognizing that he was being put in charge here, Sulu pulled Ianto further into the room, towards the bed and away from the light switch.

Getting close enough to the edge of the bed, Sulu dropped both of his hands to either side of Ianto's waist, pulling him up chest-to-chest, locking eyes with him for a moment before leaning in to steal a pressing kiss. One hand reached up to run through Ianto's hair as he figured to himself that he might as well start from the top and work his way down...

Ianto didn't mind not having the lights on. He obviously wouldn't make any sort of connection about the lighting being flattering to him at all, but it did create a certain atmosphere, and he was all for things like that. He let Sulu lead him across the room, toward the edge of the bed but then surprisingly not being pulled down to it yet. There was something different about this night in general, something slower, more relaxed, but not any less intense than other times. If Ianto were a more romantic man, he might suspect it having something to do with Valentine's Day, but. He wasn't going to go there.

As Sulu pulled him close, he let himself be moved around, his blue eyes reflecting the blue light of the lunar flowers as he gazed back at Sulu, before they fell shut, both at the kiss and the hand in his hair. Sulu's hand in his hair always felt amazing, and with the atmosphere and what they'd been up to before, at the moment it felt even more so. He didn't know what to expect from this whole idea of Sulu showing him what he liked about him business, but he was more than interested in finding out. Especially if it involved the other man's hands on him.
