And damnit if it doesn't make Mick relax a little more when he sees that familiar smile, a smile free and uncomplicated. One that is so very much Lenny without all his walls and his concerns and Mick would damn near sell his soul to see it more often.
"Thought I'd make up a mess of stuff. You know, so you can take some home." Let it never be said that Leonard was the only one who thought ahead in their partnership. Chicken and dumplings simmered away on the stove and a fresh meatloaf was just coming out of the oven, complete with potatoes. His Ma's old recipes. The one part of his past he could share with the family he'd all but adopted.
That smile is easily one of Mick's favorite things, second only to watching him sleep, all the stress and worry lines smoothed out as he breathes evenly. Relaxed and at peace. A smirk tossed over his shoulder. "Go get a plate then, I ain't serving you."
