[You don't need to know what you're apologizing for, after all. You just need to sound incredibly sincere.]

Pretty much that exactly. [The lift brings them smoothly to Sulu's floor and he half-leads the way towards his cabin; Jack's been there enough to know how to get there, but still.]

I'm going to cling to the idea that he was just being melodramatic and hope for the best. I don't suppose it'd be too much to have you find out for me whether that's the case or not... [He's only half-joking]

[action]

I think you should probably go this one alone, captain. After all, I sort of got you into the mess. I don't think you want me trying to get you out of it.

[action]

[51stcentury]

Yeah. Thanks for that, by the way. [He doesn't mean that, though, he's just fooling around now]

You're probably right though. Might as well see if there's any hope of me digging myself out of this mess myself. Otherwise I guess there's no hope.

[Sulu pauses once they reach his door to input the security code, flashing Jack an embarrassed smile.] You need to learn to do it at some point, I guess, right?

[Jack shakes his head, grinning broadly] You're no help at all.

[He motions Sulu forward into the room] Alright. Go on. Mind if I use your bathroom before you put me to bed, then?

[action]

[parked]

You can use whatever you need, don't worry about it. [He waves a hand as he heads in, moving over to his desk.] And I'm not tucking you in or anything like that.

[action]

[51stcentury]

What, no story or anything? [he quips as he makes his way to the bathroom, with a chuckle.

Minutes later, he's out, obviously having used the bathroom and washed his face and everything. He's a little more sober now, as he makes his way to the bed, shrugging off his braces and unbuttoning his shirt] You're sure you're okay with me staying here?

[action]

I'm really bad at fairytales, [Sulu replies as Jack heads to the bathroom, busying himself with a few reports he needs as the other uses the facilities. When he comes back out and asks Sulu if he's okay with this, he just grins at the other man.] I wouldn't offer if I wasn't. It's not like you're crashing here for a few days - you need some sleep, and if I let you go back to Cardiff, you'd probably just work more.

[Jack chuckles and undoes the rest of his shirt, undoing his belt and trousers before stepping out of them, pulling off his shirt until he's there in his boxers and t-shirt. If it were Ianto, he'd be weird about it, but Jack's military and he's sure Sulu doesn't care what he's wearing to bed]

You know me too well.

[Gathering up a few items, Sulu shrugs and shoots Jack a smile.] I try to know as much about my captains as possible. Get some sleep, and I'll see you in a while, all right?

[action]

[51stcentury]

[Jack smiles back at him, moving to sit on the edge of the bed.]

Yeah, alright. I'll probably be pretty much dead to the world for the next while, but. I'll see you later. And... [His smile softens, and he looks far closer to his age than normal] Thanks.

[action]

[parked]

Any time, Jack. Don't worry about it. [Sulu takes his leave, deciding against calling Ianto to see what had happened; it's really better left to Jack, and he has a feeling Jack can smooth things over pretty quick.]

[action]

[51stcentury]

[Jack lays back on the bed as Sulu disappears, and it only takes him a minute or two before he's out like a light. He really hasn't slept for a week, and he has a lot to catch up on in one night]
