Sulu followed Ianto in, hands in his front pockets as a preventitive measure against him trying to grab Ianto. He should be polite and patient, and probably only get the sort of making out they'd already done - which was fine by Sulu, really.
He could tell from the stammering, and from Ianto's expression, that the other was more nervous than he probably wanted to be; it was probably for good reason, but Sulu's immediate thought was that he was expecting Sulu to be expecting something, which really just wasn't the case. He almost said yes to the coffee, just because it seemed like the thing Ianto chose to do when he felt awkward, but as he opened his mouth, he changed his mind.
Reaching for Ianto's hand, he shook his head. "I'm good. Relax, okay?" He smiled reassuringly, and gave Ianto a tug towards the couch. "If you want to make coffee," he added after a moment, "I mean, if it helps you relax, I wouldn't say no, but I. Sort of just want to relax with you for a little bit."
