Lars sighed in relief as Lily grabbed some food, making a mental note to get some fruit or vegetables in the mix later. Lily couldn't survive on muffins alone. He grabbed a blanket and put it around her, mostly because he wanted to do something useful. He sat down next to her, pulling her close...

Lars shook his head, sighing. "I'd offer to make you some food, but you made enough for a small army. Just... please eat something, Lily," he said gently. He nodded as she said she felt better when she was baking, it was something he understood. Whenever he felt down, he'd spend hours painting...

Lars shook his head as Lily said she should work and open the bakery, he looked over at the baked goods that were on every surface. He took the one she offered him, but didn't eat it. "Lily, you need to stop." He told her gently. "You're making too much food— you need to sit down and rest. Have...

Lars wasn't sure what state he would find Lily in and he braced himself as the door opened. But she wasn't crying as he had expected. She looked... numb. He stared at her for a moment, then shook his head and followed her inside, the door closing behind him. "Hey, Lily. Put that down, please."...

Lars felt dread pooling in his stomach as he stood in front of Lily's door. He wanted to be there for her, but he also wasn't sure if he could actually be of any help. He had brought a basket full of things she liked, snacks and a few books, but he knew it wouldn't do anything to help. He...

Lars was married and yet, the idea of a wedding was still strange to him. He barely remembered how he had made it through his own. It was a blur, a happy blur though. He did remember Elliot's doubtful expression at the wedding, how he clearly had his misgivings. Lars couldn't even blame him for...

Lars had to smile at the mental image of them all being old and Lily knitting them scarves, though grand kids were a strange thing to consider. He and Blake hadn't ever had a serious talk about kids, though Lars knew that was probably a little odd considering they were married. It was just a...

Lars nodded as Lily said him and Blake had been a surprise, considering their history. It was a bit of an understatement. "I know." He said softly, squeezing her shoulder slightly. "That's why I said I wondered even back then if I was making a big mistake. I think I knew I loved him before I...

Lars nodded wth a smile. "Exactly." He said, settling back in his seat a little. "Maybe I should let you teach me something though, might be fun to surprise Blake with something else than a painting." He mused, knowing that Blake would enjoy anything he made. "He'd probably eat it even if it was...

Lars smiled as Lily suggested having a friend date to make some cookies next week. "Only if you do all the baking and I just get to eat them." He joked lightly, smiling at his friend. He had to stop himself from sighing when Lily said she struggled to think AJ could like someone like her. Lars...

Lars nodded when Lily said making things was always calming, deciding to try to help a bit more by joking around more, it seemed to help her relax. "Too bad you can't take your oven and baking supplies, some freshly baked cookies would be nice." he teased softly, squeezing her shoulder. "You do...

Lars didn't know why Lily put herself through this torture. It was nice of her to support her boyfriend, just as it was nice of Lars to support his husband, but she looked absolutely miserable. "Would the addition of two sharp pointy objects not make it more scary?" He asked mildly as he put an...

Lars hugged Ava back, feeling a little startled as she suggested making cocktails, he hesitated for a moment, glancing back at the kitchen. “I’m not sure if we have the right ingredients.” He offered hesitantly. “But you can try? If you want?” Lars didn’t drink very often, so he had never tried...

Lars opened the door as he heard the knocking, hoping it was Ava and not someone unexpected. He smiled at the sight of her, stepping aside to let her in. "Hey, glad you could make it." He said. "I got everything ready in the other room." He added a little awkwardly. "But do you want something to...

Lars quite liked the life he was living right now. He liked spending most of his days indoors, getting to paint for hours without anyone disturbing him until Blake came home. He also rather liked spending time with Blake, a lot. But he had recently realized he hadn't really spoken to a non-Blake...
