Log with Ianto & Jack: Man! I Feel Like a Woman!

[parked]

There were three things Sulu always expected when he woke up: some kind of alarm, his regulation sized bed and his regulation sheets. In his line of work, those were the only safe assumptions; for all anyone knew, they could be waking up to their timer alarms or the red alert alarms, or they could wake up on the floor after an attack - but they would always wake up near it.

Being that he was not really a morning person, it took Sulu a groggy minute of groaning and half-hearted stretching to realize that his three safety blankets? They weren't there. Instead, his bed felt - bigger, really, and... manlier. Really manly. Which felt weirder than the softer sheets, the metal bracelet around his wrist and the fact that he had hair in his eyes.

...Hair in his eyes.

Oh, Jesus. He knew what that meant -

Sulu snapped to attention and sat up, only to realize that he was now straddling someone, he was a girl, and he was in his boxers. And that was it. Part of him realized he was on top of Ianto, but the rest of him then followed suit and noticed that his free hand was on Jack's chest, and this was way out of his comfort zone.

Being that he was terrible at this whole "suddenly a girl thing," Sulu could only do one thing in that moment: he shrieked and tried to fling himself off the bed, despite the fact that he was handcuffed to Ianto. "SHIT!"

Ianto followed Sulu's gaze to look over at Jack, trying not to roll his eyes. He knew the other man was looking for where they kept the regular glasses that weren't mugs. He could see the frustration building, and then he saw Jack just reach for a mug for the water instead. Honestly, the man was hopeless. He turned back to Sulu, shooting him a little smile at the comment he'd made. "Well, they are very nice," he said, blushing, surprised at his own daring. He quickly changed the subject.

"It's good at least that you and Jack are capable of being around one another. You'll have to get on together for the next while, after all. Especially because I have to keep him around closer than we have been. Sleeping... Sleeping is going to be interesting," he said, with a blush. He'd have to arrange things so that he was touching Jack the whole night, so he could sleep properly, and he would still be handcuffed to Sulu too, so the three of them would...

Ianto moved to lay back down, having picked himself up a bit to look around, and groaned. "Oh, no..." he said, bemoaning a fact only known to him, as Jack started to make his way back over with the mug of water.

Sulu wasn't going to say anything about Jack's lack of awareness about where things were in the kitchenette - after all, it was Ianto's area, it seemed, and he seriously doubted anyone but Ianto knew it very well at all. He grinned at Ianto's compliment, his cheeks getting a little pink - it was slightly awkward to receive compliments about this particular body, being that it wasn't his usual form, but still. He'd just have to remember, with a little smugness, that it wasn't a compliment - it was the truth.

He blinked at Ianto as he groaned, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't imagine what was bothering the other, considering the fact that the whole situation was pretty convoluted. "Are you okay?" he asked, deciding that if Ianto wanted to tell him (or them, as Jack was returning), he would.

It was around when Sulu was asking if Ianto was alright that Jack came back with the mug of water. He knelt down, sitting back on his heels, wanting to know the answer to that as much as Sulu did. They weren't going to have to spend every single minute of the day touching, were they? Not that Jack minded, but he was pretty sure that that would get old for Ianto really fast. He held the mug of water in his hands, figuring that when Ianto was ready for it, he'd take it.

Ianto, for his part, just nodded, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I... I'm alright," he said. "It's just that... I realized that we don't really have a bed in the Hub big enough for the three of us to fit in. Actually, I don't know that we have any extra mattresses or anything at all. We're... We're going to have to express order something for tonight, if we don't want to have any trouble with any of this."

Jack, who had been worried up until that point, laughed at Ianto. "I'm sure we can afford it," he teased, before he moved to help him sit up and handed him his mug of water.
