Ianto whipped his head up to look at Sulu, clearly very surprised with even the mere suggestion of it. He hadn't even thought about it. Namely because the only other relationship or, well, whatever it was that they had that he'd had with a man was with Jack, and well. Jack wasn't so much on the traditional relationship things. Which Ianto understood, of course, even if it was rather lonely to have to compensate for the way that Jack lived his life as an immortal when all that Ianto had was the then and there, to make the most of as he saw fit.

And, well... He did see fit. The mere idea of dating Sulu sent a chill down his spine, raising goosebumps there. This was really happening, wasn't it? "You... You'd want to date me? I mean. When you're back to yourself and everything's back to normal and such. Like... You mean... You mean a date date...?" Clearly, Ianto's brain had taken a slight vacation at the mention of anything even remotely confusing and new and brilliant, as the case was at that moment. Ianto wasn't sure how to wrap his mind around it. He supposed that it made logical sense, going with the flow of things, but. "A...a date?" he asked again, making sure that he'd heard correctly.
