Ianto nodded. He understood now exactly how intense Starfleet was. Finally understood that it was up there in the same level of danger and intensity as Torchwood was. With more personnel, and better equipment, but it was still the same idea. A job where you had to keep on your toes if you wanted to be alive to see the next day and do it all over again. He got that.
He also understood that maybe, just maybe he had overreacted, before. But honestly, it had been the first time that anything had happened to make him question any of the safety or interests of the other man, and the sheer amount of possibilities, of 'what ifs', they had frightened him. "Yeah. I. I'm sorry about that time. I can't guarantee that it won't happen again, or anything like that, but. Well, now I know that there are going to be times where something similar to that occurs, so. At least I'll be ready, next time. Although."
"I can try to keep from making myself that upset at things like that, but that doesn't mean that I'll be any less happy and relieved to see you, afterwards, regardless of the circumstances," he said. It was a bit too personal of a statement to say while looking at Sulu, so he kept his eyes focused on their hands in front of them on the table.
