Normally, Sulu would just let something like this slide; he knew that it could just make it worse to try and convince someone to change their mind... But Ianto really seemed to have liked that watch, and even more than that, he seemed upset to give it up.

So, giving up on the idea of looking at least a little cool to the other boy, Sulu ducked his head and ran a hand through his hair. "Look," he said, "It's not stupid. I mean... I think it's cool. ...Cooler than me, you know. ...like, I like gardening. That's not really a cool thing. ...Yeah.". Ugh. He wondered if he should just take the other home at this point, with how dumb he was feeling about making Ianto feel stupid.
