"Very comfortable," Sulu said easily, tilting his head back against the rim of the tub behind him. "I haven't actually had a bath, alone or otherwise, in years, so this is sort of refreshing." And it really was; he wasn't quite used to the feeling of being completely submersed in water like this, but it was a good feeling. And Ianto was a comfortable weight against him, finally feeling truly familiar now that he was warm again.

He knew that was probably terrible of him, but it was the truth. He hadn't felt like Ianto was the same man he'd known before, not completely, not like before. He'd been cold and tired all the time, and there always seemed to be something he was holding back - but right now, in the bath with Sulu, Ianto felt and sounded like the man he knew. He smiled to himself and said, "It'd be good for stress relief, that's for sure."
