"Oh man, oh man. I'm gonna be late." Jesse says, as she places her laptop on her kitchen counter. She had promised Lukas, the night prior, that she they would have a 'FaceTime date' tonight so both of them would feel less alone, since Lukas has been away from home for a week and a half at a book signing. They had made an effort to face time every night, at least for a minute to talk about their days and see how the other was. "Hey, Radar!" Jesse calls out at she continues to cook a meal she had chosen for her 'date'; Caprese Pasta Salad. Radar walks into the kitchen, looking up at Jesse, "Yes, mom?" He pulls his hair out of his face as Jesse grabs a small bowl of cherry tomatoes and a knife, "I am almost done with cooking, but could you do me a favor and call your dad? I just don't wanna be late but I still have some cooking left to do." Jesse says as she starts to cut a few cherry tomatoes in half. Radar looks at her laptop before pressing some buttons and starting up the FaceTime call. After a minute of waiting for the call to go through, Lukas enters the call and Radar grins, "Hi dad!" He says with a smile. While seeing Radar was a surprise, it was a very nice surprise, "Hey kiddo! Wheres your mom?" Lukas asks, adjusting his glasses. Radar moves out of the view of the camera, showing Jesse, who is now chopping mozzarella into eighths. Jesse turns her head and looks into the camera, "Hi love!" Jesse says as she plops a piece of the cheese into her mouth. "Well, I have to get going, but I organized all the books in your and dad's home office and all that," Radar says, placing a kiss on Jesse's cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow at work, and I'll see you at the end of the week! Bye mom, bye dad!" Radar says before zipping up his sweater and heading out the front door. Lukas and Jesse both smile before Jesse waves to Radar. As Radar closes the door, we waves back to his mom, "Bye kiddo!" Lukas says as the door shuts. Jesse rolls her eyes before placing the laptop on the kitchen counter. She places the laptop in such a way to that Lukas can watch her cook. "Sorry about well... Y'know, being a little late for our FaceTime date. I had such a busy day and just got home ten minutes ago." Jesse says as she places the cheese in the bowl with the cherry tomatoes and some basil. Lukas watches Jesse intently before smiling, "Its okay Jesse, to be honest, I couldn't cook much either, so I just ended up ordering some food." Jesse adds her pasta to the bowl before mixing the pasta, the cut tomatoes, the diced cheese and the basil together. "Honestly, I woulda ordered something as well but I just felt like cooking tonight." Jesse says before grabbing herself a smaller bowl and giving herself a small serving of food before placing a fork in her food and putting away the rest of the food she cooked. She grabs her laptop and her food then she walks out to her living room, "So, Lukas, what are you eating for dinner?" She asks as she sits down. Lukas lowers his camera to show a bowl of extra vegetable fried rice. "Just some fried rice with vegetables; I saw what you were cooking and to be honest, your food looked so much better than this." He says as he puts a spoon full of fried rice in his mouth. Jesse rolls her eyes as she takes a bite of her pasta, "Oh please, you are just saying that because you love my cooking." She grins and looks at the camera. Lukas rolls his eyes before laughing, "Okay, MAYBE that is the reason." 

After a few minutes of eating and talking to one another, Lukas looks at Jesse and smiles sweetly. "What?" Jesse tilts her head to the side and Lukas just shows a sweet smile, "Oh nothing, I just noticed that you are wearing my shirt and I thought it looked really cute on you." Lukas states, contently as he takes off his glasses. Jesse turns dark red and tries to hide her face from the camera, "Shut up." She says with her hands covering her mouth. "Oh come on, why don't you like being called cute? I tell you almost every day, and you always hate being called cute." Jesse slowly looks back at the camera before putting her bowl down on the coffee table. "I dunno, it's just an old habit for me." Jesse says as she picks up her laptop and resting it on her legs. "Well, I guess that's an old habit I'm gonna break. You are so cute and beautiful and I want you to know that without being embarrassed every time I say something." Lukas says, before picking up his own laptop and carrying it to his bed. He lays down and adjusts the camera before looking at Jesse, "Hey Lukas, I did want to ask you something real quick; How was your day? When we were on our call this morning, you seemed... I dunno. Something just seemed off and you seemed really... I dunno. Rushed? Stressed?" Jesse moves her hair out of her face before pulling her hair back into a ponytail. Lukas watches Jesse intently before rubbing his neck and looking away, "Well, I um... Lets just say I um... I kinda sorta came here for more than just the book signing." Lukas says, rubbing his neck and looking at the camera. He looks at Jesse as she gives a puzzled look, "What do you mean, love?" Jesse asks, kinda confused. As far as she knew, Lukas was only going out of town for a book signing. "I was gonna wait to show you when I got home to let my chest heal a little bit but... I can show you if you really wanna see my um... My tattoo." Lukas puts his hand over his chest and Jesse stops for a moment, "Wait, you got a tattoo?! Can I see it?" Lukas nods before slowly taking off the short sleeve white shirt followed by  the long sleeve red shirt he is wearing, leaving him shirtless; The only piece of fabric showing on his upper body is a bandage on the ride side of his upper chest. Lukas slowly takes off the bandage before bringing his laptop close to him, and allowing the camera to adjust. Jesse looks at Lukas' pale skin... His upper chest is red from irritation, but she can see two words tattooed on his chest. The top word is Jesse and the bottom word is Radar. Jesse puts her hand over her mouth and blushes a little bit, "Lukas, that is super sweet of you to do!" Lukas adjusts his laptop once more, so Jesse and him could actually see each other again. "Well, I am glad you like it... But I got your guy's names because you two are the most important people to me," Jesse looks at Lukas before feeling her face turn red as her eyes trail down to his chest. "Hey, Jesse, are you okay?" Lukas looks at Jesse as she tries to look away from his body. "It's nothing." Jesse mutters under her breath. "Jesse, we have been together for years. I know when something is up, now tell me... Whats going on?" Jesse takes a deep breathe before looking back at Lukas, "I guess I um... I feel lonely and seeing you without a shirt..." Jesse puts her hands over her face, embarrassed. Lukas looks at Jesse, confused for a moment, "You feel lonely?" It takes him a second then his face turns red, "oh... OH."
