50 Sentences From the Vaguely Neurotic Point of View of One Hikaru Sulu [1/3]

[tntandgasoline]

I had to take some liberties because I only know as much as you've told me, really, but hopefully this works out all right anyway. :3 Also I have no idea how I did it but I somehow managed to TL;DR with sentences.
---

1. WALKING;
Neither Sulu nor Ianto can miss the irritation on Jack's face when Sulu stops by to wander around Cardiff with Ianto; instead of letting the man sulk, Sulu insists he come along and doesn't take no for an answer.

2. WALTZ;
Trying to dance around Ianto and Jack's borderline-ridiculous issues is almost impossible and so, eventually, Sulu gives up and confronts any tense moment between them head on.

3. WISHES;
It's not that Sulu doesn't like Jack, really, but he wishes the blockhead would catch himself before hitting on him in front of Ianto (no matter how harmlessly)...

4. WONDER;
...He also wonders how Jack feels when Ianto starts to sort of do the same.

5. WORRY;
The general concern when they take to going to bars ("pubs," Sulu reminds himself) is that one of them is going to drink too much and destroy the balance between harmless flirtation and serious propositioning.

6. WHIMSY;
When Sulu notices how Ianto and Jack keep secrets (Ianto simply omits things he doesn't want to talk about, while Jack buries them under fanciful stories), he can't decide which way is more unhealthy.

7. WASTE;
It's a complete waste of money that Sulu technically doesn't have, but Ianto had insisted that leather jackets were all the rage - not that Sulu doesn't notice how the other looks at him (or how Jack does, either, but that's sort of expected).

8. WHISKEY & RUM;
Sulu's later surprised when it's him who wrecks the delicate balance between flirting and propositioning after a long night of drinking, but that's not nearly as surprising as Ianto being pretty much all for it.

9. WAR;
The morning after, it's like a bomb went off; Sulu makes a strategic retreat before the situation gets even more out of hand and hopes the two of them sort out how this is going to affect them, instead of ignoring it.

10. WEDDINGS;
It's relieving and amusing when Ianto calls him up and, with great ceremony, tells him to come to Cardiff for dinner; after a week of awkward conversation, dinner proposals are definitely a step in the right direction.

11. BIRTHDAY;
Pavel asks Sulu in clumsy English what he wished for when he blew out the candles on the replicated cake he'd gotten for his co-pilot; Sulu grins and says, "Courage that isn't liquid, mostly," even if that's too obscure for Pavel to understand.

12. BLESSING;
It's sheer luck that there's no alcohol around the next time Sulu goes to Cardiff; it's a blessing that Jack is fine with making the first move while sober.

13. BIAS;
Sulu tries very hard to divide his attention equally like Jack can, but Ianto still seems to gain the most of it - as if Jack even really minds.

14. BURNING;
This sort of intensity usually doesn't last long, and Jim's starting to ask why he needs to head to Cardiff almost every other day, but Sulu's usual disengaging maneuvers just don't work with either Ianto or Jack like they would with anyone else.

15. BREATHING;
It's hilarious to Sulu that he's almost subconsciously using his physiology lessons to interpret Ianto's breathing; Jack makes fun of him for being such an academic - especially in this kind of situation - and points out that they hardly need to check Ianto's blood pressure to see how he's feeling.

16. BREAKING;
(Later, he'll use those same lessons to gauge Jack's emotional state, but it won't be funny.)

17. BELIEF;
Sulu asks Ianto if he's uncomfortable with this whole situation - after all, he'd been anxious enough over one guy - but Ianto just shrugs and does that hand-waving thing Sulu had noticed earlier on.

[tntandgasoline]

18. BALLOON;
It's like a weight off his shoulders when he finally explains to Jim the whole situation; he gets kindly chewed out for not telling him sooner and then made fun of for going from gender-neutral nouns to plural he, but at least he told the one guy he swore not to keep secrets from.

19. BALCONY;
When Ianto and Jack start for each other's throats for whatever reason, Sulu gets very tempted to hide out with the pterodactyl until they calm down.

20. BANE;
When Sulu's unable to get away from the Enterprise for a while, he becomes the bane of Ianto's existence - it's amazing how he can find all varieties of alien costuming (most of it meant for females) and Sulu really enjoys sending them to Jack to surprise Ianto with.

21. QUIET;
Sometimes, Sulu thinks that he likes Jack best when he's asleep.

22. QUIRKS;
Sulu has a habit of waking up early and leaving before Jack or Ianto can wipe the sleep out of their eyes - it's not them, it's just how things have to be, as far as Sulu can tell.

23. QUESTION;
Ianto asks Sulu why he's always out of Cardiff before there's even a pot of coffee to wake him up, but Sulu distracts with another question and avoids the topic altogether - hypocrisy at its finest.

24. QUARREL;
After a while, Sulu realizes that he's become damage control for Ianto and Jack's arguments, no matter how small they are.

25. QUITTING;
One day, he gives up on playing middle-man and forces the other two to sit down and talk, feeling a little too much like a mother disciplining her children for his comfort - but at least Jack gets to see him tell Ianto off for once.

26. JUMP;
Sulu grew out of rash decisions a long time ago, but when Jack and Ianto round on him with their particular expressions, he ends up jumping blindly into whatever they've got cooked up.

27. JESTER;
It's actually the hilariously awkward moments that are fondest to Sulu - probably a case of schadenfreude and masochism.

28. JOUSTING;
Occasionally, Sulu can't resist getting into verbal sparring matches with Jack, who really is disturbingly like Jim, to the point where this could be considered transference - and isn't that a disturbing thought?

29. JEWEL;
"It's good that the best things in life are free," Sulu says, "Because there's no way I can afford to buy either of you fancy gifts."

30. JUST;
It's only fair for Sulu to take a step back from time to time and give Ianto and Jack their space - they all have jobs to do, and Sulu is the third wheel here, after all.

31. SMIRK;
He ends up mentioning this fact to Jack, who gives him the smuggest look possible before grabbing him by the arm and dragging him off to prove how wrong he is.

32. SORROW;
(It'll be clear he was just trying to make Sulu feel better, later, when he's too busy trying to outrun bad memories to ask how Sulu feels, but the helmsman will hardly blame him.)

33. STUPIDITY;
They've all done stupid things in their lives, but getting themselves locked in the hot house is probably the stupidest.

34. SERENADE;
It's impressive how many drinks it takes before Ianto makes any bar a karaoke bar - at least to a lightweight like Sulu, it is.

35. SARCASM;
Jim notes one day how much quicker Sulu is to resort to sarcasm than before, but he seems more entertained by it than anything - then again, that could be more of that could-be transference talking.

36. SORDID;
Sulu's pretty sure that there are still places in the 23th century that would consider what they're doing tonight illegal, which just makes it all the more fun.

[tntandgasoline]

37. SOLILOQUY;
It's a terrible thing to think, but Sulu's pretty sure that this is going to fail, especially when considering statistics; he thinks too much about it sometimes, to the point where people physically stop him and ask what's wrong (he always tells them that it's nothing, even if it's Jim, because this is one thing he has to keep to himself).

38. SOJOURN;
The Enterprise crew gets shore-leave on an absolutely amazing, lush planet for a week; for one of those days, Sulu has Jack and Ianto stay with him, just to see what the place was like.

39. SHARE;
It becomes apparent to Sulu that none of them are really that great at sharing, though it's at different levels and for different reasons.

40. SOLITARY;
Given the fact that Sulu used to spend so much time alone in the botany lab, it's surprising when he starts eating with people and chatting with them - one of the positive influences of having two people around you constantly, he supposes.

41. NOWHERE;
"Nowhere I'd rather be" is such a trite exclamation, but Sulu's feeling a little cliched tonight.

42. NEUTRAL;
The longer this goes on, the less safe ground there is; something either annoys or upsets or turns one of them on, so it's sort of like playing emotional Russian roulette - but Sulu really isn't complaining.

43. NUANCE;
Sometimes, it's the little things, like the color of eyes or the curve of mouths, that makes this whole thing work.

44. NEAR;
Sulu tries to escape one morning, as usual, but Ianto grabs him around the waist and pulls him close; Jack rolls over and does the same, making it impossible to move.

45. NATURAL;
When Sulu asks Jack if it's wrong to feel so intensely about the two of them, he grins and points out that attraction to beautiful people is never wrong - in fact, it's so normal that it should be embraced.

46. HORIZON;
Whatever Sulu was trying to tell them last night while they were drinking, it's gone by the time the sun rises - none of them are sure if that's a good thing or not.

47. VALIANT;
"I admire your efforts, I really do," Jack says around the third time Sulu fails to escape, Ianto sleepily nodding against his back in agreement, "But you might as well give up."

48. VIRTUOUS;
It's around this time that Sulu decides to stop pushing to be the third wheel - selfish or not, he's tired of cautiously removing himself from the preexisting relationship like he's causing them problems.

49. VICTORY;
Ianto looks particularly smug when he doesn't have to help Jack pin Sulu down to get him to stay...

50. DEFEAT;
...And he laughs openly when Sulu grabs his white undershirt from off the floor and waves it over his head in mock defeat.
