parked: (thinking it over)

"Yeah," Sulu said, because really, he did understand. He knew that things like this - lying to someone you cared for, even if it was to protect them from getting hurt - it wasn't something you could just work into a conversation. "I'll be here, of course. We'll make sure he doesn't try to storm off." Seriously. That reaction worked for some problems, and it probably did wonders when someone of a lower rank said something idiotic, but in situations like this? Sulu wasn't sure that running away would help, even if it was Jack's particular brand of running.

He took another moment or two to just let himself ease into the next topic mentally, and then said, "I want you to know, though. After we get this fixed, I'm... I'm not going to forget about this. We're going to need to talk about it, but I want to wait until after you're feeling better. Jack... won't have that kind of patience, and I'm not going to lay my own problems on top." He ran his thumb over Ianto's cheekbone. "But this isn't going to make me think any less of you, all right? So when I do get pissed off, later, at least remember that. Even though I think it was a stupid thing to do, I can sort of understand it." He smiled, realizing he was already sort of starting on Ianto and wanting to cut that off before it got too far. "For now, I'm only worried about helping you. Get some rest while I go make you some tea and... probably only toast, but still. Something to eat, at least. Do you want anything on it?"
