"Well, you know me, I can't just sit around and twiddle my thumbs when there's somethin' on my mind.." Sure everything was going to go smoothly since he knew Wyatt was more than capable, but he wasn't as easy going when it came to his folks. They were kind, good people... And they coddled him too much at times. Perhaps his biggest fear was just them asking too many questions... "... Hun, that sounds great and all, but if you do start hurtin' and we take you home, you really shouldn't be cookin' after that. You should be resting, maybe take a bath in that hot tub.. They'd understand that they can come back the next day for dinner." That was one way to get his mind off of things, put something else there to worry about. And Wyatt was the Perfect distraction. "Embarrassing, huh? Well, guess what, you can't embarass me about the past, not when the present looks so good, so there! But... Love, do promise me that you'll let me help. It's my family... Our family now... And if I'mma be a good partner to yah, I need to know you are willin' to rely on me... We can both work together to show them the love we got, okay? I want everyone to know how much I love you, just like I know you love me."

"I know where my limits are," Wyatt assured Lukas gently. Normally his tone may have been more snippish and insistent, but in a change of strategy, he went with gentle pleading, "I'll pre-cook as much as I can before hand too. I'm not going to push myself any more than I normally do." Okay, that could have been a little more reassuring if Wyatt didn't regularly and stubbornly do more than he probably should, out of sheer spite for his limitations. Then, in a voice that Lukas could surely hear the put-on pout on his face, "I wanna visit that area at some point regardless. Now's just a good opportunity." Wyatt was pulling in to the grocery store parking lot. It didn't seem too busy at the moment. He found a parking spot and sat there a while as they talked. "Yeah but, they know their baby boy is a catch - nothing to prove there. I'm the one that has to prove my worth. To show how much I adore, support, and trust you. Cause I do, y'know," he professed with a softness and warmth in his voice, "Of course I'll let you help, but I'm going to also do my best to not need that help. Not that I don't appreciate it, but I don't want you to feel constant worry over me. I'll try to be a bit better about paying attention to my state than I usually am. At least for that day," He ended his pleading with a bit of a laugh. Because honestly, they both knew a single day of not pushing himself was asking a lot. He couldn't help the flutter of his heart at the idea that it was 'their family.' Wyatt had no memory of his family before his purification, but from what he had written, his own 'mother' and 'father' had been bad enough to murder for insurance money so........... Actually experience parental, familial, anything was going to be new, and Wyatt didn't realize just how much he perhaps had wanted that until it was there. He smiled softly to himself. After Wyatt's first slipped 'I love you' during the Halloween festivities, it became easier to say, although he still didn't say it all that often, so maybe it meant more when he did. "I do love you. Other wise I wouldn't be about to go buy all this food for the menu I've come up with. I'll be making at least three desserts, and I'm buying the good tupperware to send them home with leftovers. If our love doesn't win them over the food will." As always, he ended with some light humor.

"You say that, but you know I feel constant worry because you are just the most determined lil' thing I ever did see. Determined to get it all right the first time, determined to not give up no matter what. And I can say I love you more and more for it." It was mushy, he knew it. The people he waved to as he slowly trudged back down the staircase of his place knew it too. And their smiles seemed to tell that they were used to it. Good. This whole conversation SHOULD be laced with love and affection, not the fussing that he remembered from way too long ago. ... That's right, there were more things he didn't think about, and very much never talked to Wyatt about. It was time, he knew it was time. And after a long pause of quiet as he simply listened to the sound of Wyatt's voice, a soft sigh could be faintly made out on his end. "That's alot of food, huh? Well, maybe they'll be by to eat tomorrow, or the day after, but how about we get something take out? And.. We can finally talk about any questions you have about me, about them... About who I was before I met you, to just make sure the air is clear before we're facin' the beast together. How's that sound? Maybe it'll do a bit more to ease your worries, because I know I've never met someone I could ever love as much as I love you."

Yeah, Wyatt knew he was as stubborn as he was a planner. Fierce in his pursuits and persistent to a fault. There really was no end to the trouble he could cause Lukas is he really wanted to. It could have been absolute hell - lucky for Lukas, Wyatt loved him. "Alright - you want me to grab something on my way home, or come home, unload groceries, and go get something together?" Wyatt wasn't even sure what questions he'd have for Lukas. After his first time probing in to his past, he'd been content to let Lukas tell him things as he felt comfortable doing so. After all - who was Wyatt to judge someone based on their past? After all, at least one of them had a body count, so better not to throw stones at glass houses. "Maybe I'll pick up some stuff to make you your own personal rum cake as a prize for putting up with all this," there was the warmth of a smile in his voice, and a small blip in the connection as he switched over to the little bluetooth earbud and made his way in to the store and started getting the things he needed.

"Grab something, and we can chat in private. I don't think I'll want to do anything else after talking so much. You know me, easily tired when feelings are involved." It was a lie. He knew it was a lie too, because between the both of them, Lukas had always been the one to try to take that first step and make sure they were both understanding and on equal ground. It was easy to focus on Wyatt and his needs and neglect his own past because to him, it wasn't important. Dwelling on the past was too much energy and he wanted to think about being happy and fulfilled in the here and now. ... But Wyatt deserved more than just his Present. He deserved his past, and the knowledge of that to make their future together. Especially since he knew he wanted to go into this, and HAD gone into it all with the goal of forever and not just a fling. "Nah, I don't want a rum cake. I want... Something new, something sweet... Something that's your favorite and mine both, to just.. I dunno... Feel closer to you. Is that too silly? ... Nah, nah, especially not if I'm gonna be eating it off of you too." He had to add that last part, voice dropping a little lower to a more husky sound as he finally seemed to settle down at the bottom of his stairs. "A treat for both of us, because you're working hard too."

"Strawberries and whipped cream it is then~" Wyatt replied, trying to continue carrying the lighter commentary. He knew Lukas didn't like dredging up the past. the past sucked but it was the stepping stone that got them to the here and now. At best now, Wyatt tried to look at it as the ocean of s**t they had to swim through before finally getting their karmic reward. That didn't mean the waves didn't still lap at their feet though, and leave their emotional socks soggy and what was worse than soggy socks? "I'll be home soon, babe," Wyatt said as he judged between two different trays of chicken thighs. "The usual stuff from the usual place, right? For dinner."

"Oh, now you know if you went and got those how the night's going to end." Lukas didn't want too many distractions from tonight, not when there was going to be too much unleashed at once, but hells, they were both adults, and maybe he needed it. Maybe that comfort was exactly what they both needed before in order to come closer than ever, breach that last little wall that was between him. There was an audible sigh, and when he spoke once more, it was clear there was atleast a tiny smile on his face. "Usual stuff, sure. Just make it a bit more spicy. If I'm gonna cry some, I like to have a good excuse. Now hurry on back, I miss you..."
