"At the very least, I deserve at least partial responsibility," Sulu said, understanding Ianto's glance away this time and therefore not feeling like he needed to draw his attention back. He instead took a moment to continue working on draining his glass, getting down to half pretty quickly.
"I know what you mean, though," he said with a grin, "I mean, as far as we're concerned - this isn't too different from other times we've hung out. It's just that this time..." Was different. He wanted to kiss Ianto, or touch him, or something. He wanted to throw compliments at him so his face would be perpetually red.
It was hard to think that this all happened because of some leather jacket - and really, it wasn't only the jacket. He'd tried his hand at flirting with Ianto the first time they'd met face to face, after all - not too much, since he'd known at least peripherally about Jack - and then after Ianto had said that his relationship with Jack was not the end-all, be-all... Well. That had definitely opened some previously closed doors. Not that he'd noticed them - not until they'd headed out into Cardiff and Sulu had made the mistake of finding those gorgeous jeans for Ianto and a jacket for himself.
