"Good point," Sulu said with a small smile. He couldn't help but be pleased that Ianto still wanted something to do with him like this - even if they weren't going to do anything, even if Ianto was far too sick for it, it was still nice to know that Ianto thought about him like that. He didn't suppose there was any reason to have been unsure about that, really - but all the same, he had been, and having that worry eased let him relax just a bit more into the situation.

There was something changing in Ianto's expression as he commented on the water level, but Sulu didn't think he could really figure it out. Not without Ianto telling him, and he knew just how unlikely that was. He bent down to shut off the tap and then turned to Ianto, feeling suddenly a bit self-conscious without his shirt on, and smiled. "So," he said, "Now the fun part." The undressing, yes, that was actually going to be fun, he imagined, but the arranging themselves part... that would take some effort.
