Sulu knew that Ianto was sorry, and he really didn't like the fact that he still felt the slightest bit angry with him, considering he'd decided already to hold off on scolding him until he was better. But it wasn't anything he could help; all he could do was stick to his word and worry about Jack's reaction more than his own. He didn't say it was okay, though. He didn't even acknowledge the apology; it was an honest one but Sulu didn't need it right now. Later, yes, but not now.
"We'll figure it out. It's not like you did this out of spite. You just..." Sulu sighed and smiled softly, a little sadly, reaching out to put a hand over Ianto's. "You need to realize that you don't have to do things on your own. Jack and I care about you, Ianto." More than Ianto probably would ever know, at least when it came to Sulu. "If you need help with something, if you're worried or upset about something, you can tell us. At the very least, tell us so we don't have to do this again."
