He knew that the other man was not going to take it well; without any way to fix it, Sulu thought the mere thought that Ianto was getting worse instead of better might send him into a state similar to how he'd acted after Ianto had died.

He wasn't going to say that, though; chances were that Ianto knew he'd messed up, and Sulu wasn't in the mood to be vindictive. At Ianto's question, he laughed a little, rubbing Ianto's back gently. "McCoy can fix anything."
