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!"

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.
