Sulu blushed a little, embarrassed that he was so transparent, and turned to check on the water temperature before sitting on the edge of the tub. He knew that Ianto was being sincere with his comments, so at least he didn't feel like he was being completely mocked. That was something, he thought wryly. "I'm not opposed to that," he said with good humor in his voice, "It seems like sticking around here doesn't have any cons, so long as you don't mind me getting overly excited about things."

He nodded at Ianto's instructions for the water level; if he wanted as much in it as possible, then that's what he would get. And he knew, also, that they were going to have to undress before too long - and then he wondered how awkward this really was going to be. It was one thing to take a bath with someone; it was another to soak in a bath with them. He figured that they would just have to deal with it as they went, and with any luck, Ianto would feel better after they were through.
