No. No, it wouldn't be. Because as much as Ianto never asked for it, John's pretty much had it all thrust upon him. And he's stood by Ianto through all of it, nonetheless. Even now, even here. Even after this shit with bloody Jack Harkness, John had fought a damned wolf and fractured his arm -- for him?

Ianto's temper deflates a little himself at the thought of it. All that John has been through, not only things that he's caused but things he couldn't stop. The fighting. The dragon. Briefly, Ianto squeezes his eyes shut before he turns back to the other man to look at him again.

"I don't mean to keep making things worse," he says, at last. "If... If you want me to wear the gloves, then I will."
