Sulu laughed softly at that, looking away briefly at Ianto's statement. It was good that he was enjoying himself; though he imagined they always had a good time when they hung out, it was reassuring to know that in a distinctly more-than-platonic situation, they could still enjoy each other's company. "I'm glad I'm not messing up, at least."

Pausing for a moment, Sulu finally reached over and put his hand over Ianto's, looking him in the eye. "I definitely don't mind any clinging you might want to do," he said, smiling, "I'd go so far as to say I'd encourage it."
