"S'all I ask." And it would be. It wouldn't be right of him to ask more than that. Just lease to worry and at least acknowledged for having to deal with that pain and worry. But he would never ask Jim to change, so it was something he just had to live with. That's what he got for falling for the big damn hero. Not that he regretted it even a little bit. Relationship like this or not.

Returning to eating, he took a few more bites before pausing. "So, what you wanted to do after dinner... are we stayin' in or goin' out?" He angled his head slightly before taking a drink of lemonade before returning to his food. He was pretty damn proud of the food though. It turned out well for having to improvise. That made it better. Made him realize he'd done right by Jim.

"Thanks for dinner, by the way. It was an amazin' surprise."
