[RL WITH SULU]

It was dark. A fact which, recently, had become a lot more of an issue than it normally had been for him before, but Ianto wasn't thinking in terms of then and now. Because something was coming for him out of the darkness, but this time he knew exactly what it was, and exactly what would happen to him when they found him. The same thing that ( Read more... )

The bed in Sulu's cabin was too small for Sulu to miss Ianto's anxious shifting. He woke up quickly enough, not entirely unused to the tossing and turning; Ianto had mentioned having some nightmares from whatever medication McCoy was giving him to help with his energy levels, and there had been one or two nights where he found himself waking up to Ianto's distressed noises and his slight thrashing. He never woke Ianto because of it, though, knowing that it was better to wake up naturally from these things than to be forced to get up. A few times, Ianto had even managed to wake himself up, but Sulu still didn't know what, exactly, was haunting Ianto enough to make him thrash around.

Hearing Ianto gasp, like he'd been surprised or shocked, Sulu twisted over and reached out to stroke his hair, hoping that it would calm him down like it seemed to when he was trying to sleep.

Ianto had a moment where he froze, praying, hoping against all hopes that the thing hadn't spotted him. But it was a machine. It was observant like nothing else Ianto had ever come across, and within seconds of spotting him, it started down the hallway, towards the small closet of an archive that Ianto had been hiding out in. He darted out, trying to look for somewhere else, somewhere to run and hide where maybe, if he was lucky, the Cyberman wouldn't find him. But in the opposite direction, more stood in his way, and he knew in that moment that even running, he wasn't going to stand a chance ( ... )

Sulu frowned at the noises Ianto was making, threading his fingers through Ianto's hair once more before moving to brush a thumb over his cheek. He couldn't imagine what Ianto was dreaming about - the dark, maybe? He'd been terrified of that from the start, so maybe that was what he was imagining in his dream.

Sighing, he wrapped his arm around Ianto's waist and continued to stroke his cheek, shushing him quietly. "It's all right," he said, knowing it'd be easier to try and talk to Ianto while he was asleep than it would be to wake him up. "It's okay, it's just a dream."

It's all right, he told himself, as he neared the sounds of the machines. It's okay. He... He'd just figure something out. Figure out a way to get out of there. A way to get away from th-... He looked around. God, there were hundreds of them. And all of his coworkers lined up in front of him, waiting, staring back at him with wide eyes, equally as terrified as he was, hoping, praying that this was a dream, knowing that it was anything but. The Cyberman grabbed him close, a hand on his face turning it this way and that, although what it was looking for, Ianto had no idea. He didn't dare ask, didn't dare speak up, he knew that he wouldn't get a word out of the things. It was as his head was turned to the side, Ianto feeling like a piece of meat being examined for imperfections, when he saw her. There, near the front of the line ( ... )
