"You've never been in a situation like this before," Sulu said, "None of us have. And I really hope we don't have to deal with anything like this again." If they did - well, Sulu knew he wouldn't be able to handle it, not really. He had a feeling Jack and Ianto wouldn't be able to either. "But I don't think he'd throw something at you for trying to talk to him." After all, he knew Ianto wanted to talk to him - even if he seemed to be as bad at communication as Jack.
He felt suddenly awkward, and before he could contain himself, he said, "I really hope that - I'm not overstepping boundaries, for you. By talking about your relationship with Ianto." Because while he knew that wasn't necessarily a big deal - he sometimes felt like he was encroaching on Jack's territory, as stupid as it seemed, and he didn't want to be stepping on the other man's toes, just because he wanted to make Ianto happy.
