Sulu laughed a little at that, shaking his head. "If you want to be downstairs, then I'll take you downstairs," he said with a little bit of overt determination, mostly to be funny more than out of seriousness. Still, he was sure he could carry Ianto down the stairs; after picking him up the first time and seeing just how light he was, he figured it wouldn't be too hard. He'd just have to go slow.

"It'll be easier if we can get him to have some of the tea, too," he added, before pushing the covers aside and, all pretense aside, slipped his arms under Ianto's shoulders and his knees and lifted him out of the bed with nothing more than a sharp inhalation of air. "Which I'm getting ready as we speak."
