Ianto chanced to look back at Sulu then, both with the hand on his face and the fact that he knew that that was what Sulu had wanted him to do, but putting his hand there in the first place. He smiled slightly back at Sulu's smile, finding that he couldn't help but be encouraged to do so with the combination of both the smile and the words behind it.
"Don't make me sound so noble," Ianto said, quietly, "you probably would have done the same thing if I had gotten the nerve up to ask you in the first place, or if I had started to go on about archiving and what have you." He smiled. God, he really wanted to kiss the other man right then, but he was afraid that once they started, he wouldn't be able to stop, and anyway, he was really looking forward to this date. As it was, he swallowed, trying hard not to pay attention to the fact that Sulu's hand was on his face, and Ianto was really starting to develop some sort of complex for the man's hands.
"We... I've picked a place for us to go out to," Ianto said, changing the topic of conversation, perhaps not as smoothly as he would have liked to, but changing it nonetheless.
