Lonny had been rather excited about getting his own place a few years back.  He had books upon books of things he he wanted to try to make, hell he had off of it color coded and tabbed so when he first started to get cooking for himself he had been ever so pleased.  This past year though, he had to say, had been all the more rewarding.  Cooking for yourself was one thing, at least it felt that way to Lonny, but cooking for someone special just made it all the more rewarding.  Every time he made something new or tried to make something Jakob mentioned he liked or wanted to try, he had always been ever so nervous about how it might have come out.  Adorably domestic, was something Lonny Gold had become and hell he didn't even care about how normal that was.  He liked normal.  He liked feeling normal.

So to say, when Jakob called him to tell him he would be coming home from work in a few days Lonny had started planning on what to make him.  He deserved that and so much more, Lonny thought.  A good home made meal.  Did we mention already how fucking domestic Lonny was? But yes.  Jakob deserved it.  Jakob deserved that and far more than Lonny could ever give him but so long as Jakob wanted to be with him Lonny was going to greedily keep him tethered and spoil the shit out of him anyway he could.  

He was finishing up a few last rolls he had made, he tried to make more traditional rolls, knowing where Jakob had been born.  He tried doing nice things like that for him.  He looked over his shoulder when he heard his doorbell ring, fingers sticky with white rice and he quickly dashed over to the sink to wash his hands, a small frown forming at his lips.  If it were Jakob he was a bit early than expected, though Lonny would hardly complain.  He just hoped Jakob wouldn't mind waiting a few more minutes for dinner.

With his hands dry he quickly made his way across his small apartment, right hand reaching for the door knob while the left unlocked the two locks to the door.  As he opened it, he couldn't help but smile at the familiar face waiting outside his door.  He quickly glanced down the hall, making sure no one else was there before he leaned in and pressed a kiss to the other boy's chin.  "Hello handsome." He greeted happily, gaze dropping to the roses that Jakob had in hand.  He tilted his head so slightly before looking back at Jakob, his smile ever so warm and happy, face softening with the utter adoration he had for the boy.  "You got me roses."  He murmured, reaching to run his fingers over the soft petals.  "Our anniversary isn't until next week, silly."

Lonny always looked because he had nosy neighbors though thankfully it was just three people up here on the top floor.  A door down at the left end of the hall, a door across from him, and then at the right end of the hall were the stairs to the lower level apartments.  Lonny had the top for the small loft apartment.  It was, admittedly, a bit more expensive seeing as apparently a loft was something special, but Lonny had fell in love with it when he was shown it.  It was different then what he had been raised in.  The door the the apartment had a small space for taking off your shoes, which lonny had a small shoe rack to the right of the door as well as some hooks for hanging keys and coats, and then that opened up to the living room with the kitchen in the back with an island that acted as his table with the bar stools he had gotten for it. There was a bathroom to the right of all that and to the left there were stairs that led to the loft that was his bed room.  Small but he liked it.  

The boy himself though, was still wearing a little white apron that read the cliche "kiss the cook," one he had admittedly gotten after he started dating Jakob and bringing him around to his apartment because he was shameless and would promote getting a kiss like nothing else.  A white fedora of course tipped on the top of his blond locks, one that had a silk blue sewn into to wrap around the hat.  The rest of his outfit consisting of white knit sweater that was a bit baggy and cream colored Capri pants.   A thing silver anklet decorated his right leg and of course various colorful bracelets covered his wrists.  Lonny had his own style that was for sure, or at least tried to stay looking as stylish as his budget allowed.  That and he tried to look nice when ever he knew Jakob would be coming around.

The blond was hardly bothered by Jakob's muttered greeting, he knew the man wasn't much for talking but he always seemed to make up for it in his affection.  Affections Lonny soaked up like flowers soaked up the sun.  He knew his boyfriend well, he liked to think, and he knew he loved him, even if he didn't much say it.  It spoke volumes in the fact that he was still here, it spoke volumes in the care in which he took being around him.  Like the flowers, though he hardly had to do it, it was thoughtful.  Very thoughtful, so of course when Jakob asked if he liked them, Lonny was quick to nod, "I do.  They are beautiful.  You are sweet."  Lonny murmured, fingers dropping from the petals as Jakob moved them aside so that he could give Lonny a kiss to the cheek. Honestly Lonny had gotten flowers before from lovers who begged him to take them back after you know, they treated him like shit broke it off but needed another itch to scratch.  But it was of course, different getting them from Jakob.  It wasn't false hopes and dreams, it was real, holding no promise because he already had everything he could ever want.  It was simply thoughtful and Lonny loved that.  Just that it was thoughtful.  He did it because he thought of him.

"I missed you lots." Lonny assured as well, he always missed him when he wasn't around but you know, he knew Jakob's job was important and Lonny couldn't be more proud that this wonderful human being was using his gifts to help others.  He was very proud of Jakob, and very flattered that he would want to be, so far, with someone like him.  A fucking mess of disgusting even if Jakob was forever insisting other wise.  Like said, Jakob was sweet.  "You didn't get hurt did you?"  Proud, but forever worried other wise, he frowned a bit and started to look Jakob over as if he could see through his clothes to spot any possible bruises, bumps, or cuts.  

Lonny couldn't at all think poorly of Jakob, he was too darling to even begin to even do so. His parents were villains or so Jakob told him and honestly once you go public with the initiative your history sort of became common knowledge. But the Initiative trusted Jakob. If they didn't he wouldn't be in their ranks and Jakob never gave him reason to believe he was lying about who he was. Whoever or however his parents were they obviously created a wonderful boy. Whether that was because Jakob didn't like what his parents did for a living, or because they perhaps weren't black and white evil as people would like you to believe everything was, Lonny didn't know. He just knew that Jakob was an extremely kind person, at least that was his experience with him.

He made a small face at the boy as he caught him grinning over his worry and reached to pinch his side playfully. He had noticed early on that it seemed to please Jakob whenever Lonny worried about him. He couldn't help it though. He didn't know all of what Jakob did, and sometimes he didn't know if he should ask. He didn't know what would be private and what wouldn't and he hardly wanted to put Jakob in an uncomfortable place of not being able to tell him and having to explain that...or possibly have him compromise his work and tell him just because of their relationship. So if Jakob ever wanted to tell him things, he waited for him to mention it. Other wise he asked simple things, how he was, where he was going, if he was going to be okay? And of course, always threatened to kick him if he didn't come back home. It was always the most frightening thought, the thought of someone hurting his so sweet boyfriend. Lonny honestly didn't know what he would do if something happened to Jakob.

"Mmmm. Okay." He said, seeming unconvinced as Jakob kissed him, then watched as his darling stepped inside. Lonny closed the door and watched Jakob walk across the living room after taking off his boots. Blue eyes scanned his stance, trying to see if he was favoring putting his weight on one side than the other though at the moment he saw nothing wrong. Which was a bit relieving. Honestly Lonny wouldn't stop worrying until he was stripping the other boy down for bed....to which Lonny hoped Jakob could stay for. He missed curling up with him when he was gone. "I'm openly greedy and wear it just to prompt kisses." Lonny admitted though honestly it really was common knowledge between the two. Lonny lived off little kisses when ever Jakob was around. After a moment, he followed after the taller man, and searched through his cabinets for a vase, then filled it with water and set it in the center of his island counter and reached for the roses. "Sushi." He answered, taking them carefully from Jakob and placed them just as carefully into the vase. He fluffed them around until they looked nice and full in the vase, then leaned in to give them a smell. It brought another wide smile to his lips before he stood and returned to finishing cutting up the last few rolls he made. "I made home made ice cream mochi too. For dessert."

Jakob had told him he was careful, and Lonny trusted him, but what he didn't trust were the people that he had to go after, people that wouldn't think a second thought about hurting Jakob in a fatal sort of way. He feared over those, he couldn't help that. But he believed in Jakob, he believed in his strengths, his abilities, and took comfort in knowing Jakob knew how to handle himself. So Lonny tried not to overwhelm his lover with his worries too much. He didn't want to make Jakob feel bad or guilty either. It was his job, obviously it was important to Jakob if he was doing it, right? So it was important to Lonny too, and honestly he thought the world of him for being so brave, for embracing his powers and using them for better when Lonny hardly used his own. When he hated that he even had them.

"Mmmm well I should hope so, with all those nice boners you pop for me while doing it." Lonny replied oh so causally thought the smile that curled at his pierced lips was ever so wicked. He chuckled before he followed after his lover. Knowing less was probably for the better...but he wondered at times if it made him a poor partner, not asking more. He didn't know. Dating a super hero, even after almost an entire year of being together, was a rather uncertain thing at times, and it wasn't like there was some sort of club out there for partners left on the side lines while their lovers fought their battles to talk to. Or a book to read. He didn't know. So long as Jakob didn't seem too upset with his lack of questions he guessed it was okay. He did make sure Jakob knew he was proud of him, that he figured was the best thing he could do.

As he caught that longing look to his partner's gaze, the blond couldn't help but chuckle softly. He was adorable, and the cliche saying of the key to a man's heart was through his stomach certainly held true for Jakob. It made him happy though, to cook for him. Nice meals for them both to sit down and eat together. Lonny liked those things. It might not seem much to other people but little things like that meant the world to the boy who grew up not knowing any of it. Once he returned to cutting up and arranging the last of the sushi onto the large platter of all the various kinds he had made, he glanced over to see his boyfriend looking a bit taller and automatically knew he was using his abilities. He smiled to himself and shook his head. He had gotten a pair of slippers for Jakob, but when hovering was second nature to the other man, he had given up on telling him about them. He wasn't mad or anything, it was just sort of amusing.

"Really really." He answered his boyfriend's disbelieving question, watching as he hovered on over to the fridge and cracked it open to peer inside the freezer with his powers as well. "I like making things. You know that." He said with a shrug, lifting the platter and turned to set it on the island counter opposite of the counter against the wall that had the stove and such like. He smiled lightly and shook his head, "I wanted you all to myself. I'm greedy, and I like cooking for you. You deserve a nice home cooked meal after being away." He explained, though it was nothing he hadn't told the other man before. His blue eyes looking over at him as he waved a hand at him. "Now close up the freezer you sweet tooth monster. Come eat. What do you want to drink?"

The blond boy couldn't help chuckling so softly to himself as he watched his lover fluster. He was adorable, so fucking adorable. Lonny couldn't even around the man. He was the perfect lover, but you talk about it and he got all cute and just...this sometimes. It just solidified in his head, how endearing a creature Jakob Everheart was, and how too good he was for him. But he was greedy and he'd take him until it was time for Jakob to find someone better...or if he got tired of him. Which ever came first. Lonny dreaded the day either way. He knew it had to happen. He wasn't meant or good things....he just wasn't, and Jakob didn't need someone like him to be someone he went public with. Lonny would just make him look bad one people started to do digging.

"I know, I'm just too much." He purred, teasing the boy a little more, unable to help it as he watched him stare into the freezer as he did. He was a horrible creature, he knew. He tsked at Jakob when he saw him reaching into the thing though, silly sweet tooth driven man. He knew if he didn't prompt him to sit Jakob would spoil his appetite on sweets and so if Jakob didn't get his--glorious--but to the table, Lonny would be forced to tug him there. Luckily though, Jakob closed the freezer door and made his way over to sit on one of the bar stools. "I had a feeling you'd ask for tea." Lonny smiled, leaned over and pressed a kiss to the tip of Jakob's nose. "I made the strawberry tea." He said as he turned to his stove and lifted the cast iron tradition tea pot he had gotten at an antiques store. Good steal that one was. He took the steeped content from the pot, then closed it back up and got out the matching little cups that came with it, poured some carefully and set the pot back down. With the cups in hand he set on in front of Jakob, and placed one for himself down then went back to getting plates and chopsticks for them.

When he finished setting up he handed Jakob some honey and a spoon for his tea, and then took a seat beside him on the second stool, absolutely unaware of what was in his pocket, though he had picked up that Jakob seemed a bit...nervous about something. It read in the small ticks on his face that managed to show off despite it being rather less than expressive most times. "I started cooking once I got my own place. This was my first attempt at ice cream mochi though, so I hope I did it right." He made a small anxious face before he shook his head and papped at Jakob's shoulder lightly. "Don't be silly. I'm hardly going to complain. I adore having you to myself." Lonny assured, leaning over to press a kiss to Jakob's cheek. "You are the highlight of my days, Jakob."

Lonny liked knowing Jakob so well. Silly little things like that made him happy. He liked noticing his patterns, what Jakob usually gravitated to because he liked being able to do stuff like this for him. He liked knowing that he would want tea with his meal, and he liked knowing that Jakob was rather fond of a tea that he was fond of too. It was just nice. It was all so nice and Lonny was terrified of when all that nice would come to an end.

As his lover continued to insist that he should have allowed him to take him out Lonny waved a hand at him, ignoring his silliness....though he frowned a moment and wondered if Jakob prefered being out. He always seemed to really love it when he cooked with Jakob in mind. Was it a lie? No no, couldn't be. Jakob wouldn't lie him about that...would he? And there went the doubt train, leaving the terminal with all dreary thoughts aboard choochoo! "Of course." He murmured as Jakob thanked him, and he reached for the honey once Jakob had finished so he could mix it into his own cup. He was far from even guessing what it was Jakob was up to and even if he suspected it was gone with all the terrible little worries riddling his mind despite how he tried to keep up appearance that nothing at all was going on there, being sweet to his sweetheart. Nothing wrong here. Nothing at all.

Blue shaded hues shifting back to Jakob as he leaned forward to untie his apron while he sat in his seat, carefully folding it up after and set it aside on the counter. "Mmm. I have work yes, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to make dinner for us. I like sharing dinner with you. I'm not stressed, and I'm perfectly energized. Promise." He assured, giving the other boy a wink before he lowered a hand to Jakob's thigh and gave it an affectionate squeeze. "I'm sorry if you wanted to go out though? Next time just tell me. I just thought some time alone would be nice...you know? Since you were gone for a bit." He offered a soft apologetic smile, his worries eating at him, making him apologize if he had done this all wrong. He hoped that Jakob would enjoy dinner here, if that was the case. If he had actually wanted to go out.

Retracting his hand, he shifted in his seat, then reached to pull the platter closer to them, lips parting to tell Jakob to take what he wanted but the other man's question gave him pause. Mouth closed a moment as he stared at the plate then shifted his eyes toward his partner, giving him a slightly quizzical look before his face lightened. A sly half smile upcurled the left side of his lips as he arched a brow. "I don't think tonight is good, as I've got a Gay Boys Book Club meeting going on only we don't really discuss books. We discuss dick size. I think you are ranked like fifth on dick size here." Okay he was being a bit terrible but you know, a silly question promted a silly answer. "Only I love your dick so you got nothing to worry about and I don't have a gay boy's book club. Why ask silly? You know I always want you here."

Honestly Lonny would feel sort of bad if he knew just how much trouble he was causing Jakob right now. He hadn't a clue as to what was going on behind that handsome face of his but public or private, Lonny would definitely be utterly moved by what Jakob had in mind to do. He didn't need fancy though. Jakob had agreed to keep their relationship on the hushed side of things for Lonny's privacy and safety where as Lonny had agreed to it because he didn't want to make Jakob look back when he already had some odds against him with his family history. Jakob was amazing and people deserved to see that. He didn't want to be one more stain against him when he seemed to have come so far already. That being said if only he knew, he'd probably prefer private. You know, to keep with things being rather hushed for Jakob, at least for as long as they possibly could. He didn't know. He tried not to think of these things because he couldn't possibly deserve them. He just couldn't. It was so in his head that he didn't deserve them and funny it was, that it was coming his way and he would have never seen it even with how over the moon they were for each other.

The blond frowned a brief moment as Jakob seemed to tense at his touch, wondering once more if he had done something wrong or what if something was already wrong and oh god just what did he do? What did he do? Because this was very not like Jakob. He never really tensed at his touch unless he was hurt....and then as that came to mind Lonny frowned a bit more because he really disliked it when Jakob got hurt even if he knew that was the risk of the job. He made a mental note to check it out and then another note to offer Jakob a nice massage perhaps to help with any other aches and pains. Since having gotten with Jakob the boy had taken up to reading massage books and practicing on friends--because like hell was he going to do it wrong on Jakob--to get it perfect for his boyfriend.

The frown disappeared with the gentle touch he received from Jakob for his silly apologies and other worries. He smiled at him and pressed a kiss to the palm of his hand for his sweetness before you know, he had to go teasing his poor darling. It was too easy sometimes and further more he felt just a bit horrible whenever Jakob reacted so easily. He was gullible, on a very endearing level but because of it, as said, he couldn't help but feel a bit too naughty for picking at that gullible bit of his lover. Especially when Jakob was looking at him like he was....and when he seemed to keep pondering over it even as he admitted to it being only a job for Jakob's silly question. "There is nothing to compare to sweetheart." Lonny said, trying to get Jakob to dismiss it so he wouldn't get worried over it. He hardly wanted to give him a complex and honestly he didn't think he would take so much to it. They had been together a year and Lonny was a rather hungry thing for Jakob in that year...well...almost year but still.

"You rock my world and you know it. Hush. I was teasing." He assured and reached to place a few pieces of sushi onto his plate as well. "I had to wash my sheets while you were gone so I need you rolling all over them so I can sleep soundly at night with my sheet smelling like my super hot, super awesome hero boyfriend."
