Ah, right. Talking. Ianto figured that they'd have to talk about whatever it was that they had going on between them. If he wasn't enjoying the feeling of Sulu's hand laced with his in that moment, he might've been really very embarrassed that he was actually really enjoying just holding hands with the other. He was a grown man, not a schoolboy or schoolgirl, as all of the blushing and stammering at just simple contact and presence of the other would have led other people to believe, and he really shouldn't be this flustered by something so innocent and simple. Ianto suddenly wondered why it was that the mere suggestion of things to come set his blush afire.
After all, it wasn't exactly like this was something new to him. He'd had girlfriends before, and he had Jack, so he wasn't new to flirting and well, what came after flirting. Maybe that's why he was blushing, at least partially. Because, the way things were going, it was almost as though there were no question to it. Unless one of them messed this up, or they realized somewhere soon that this was actually a really bad idea, and that they shouldn't pursue it any further, there...was the promise of something more. And the thought that he and Sulu might possibly end up going somewhere further with this was a little frightening to Ianto, and more than a little embarrassing, but more than anything, it was exciting. Exciting enough to make Ianto color like a tomato every time his thoughts started to drift in those directions.
"Well. I. Don't mind so much," he said, blushing pretty hard as it were. "The flirting, that is. Though, yeah. If you want me to be able to talk and, y'know, be able to communicate anything on the matter whatsoever, maybe... Maybe you should leave it until after we've said what we have to say. Because. Yeah. We should talk. Shouldn't we? This...this is the first time we've met, since...y'know. The last time you visited, after all." Okay, well. At least he was talking, communicating to Sulu, even if he wasn't making a whole lot of sense at that moment.
