Jace nodded, only because he hoped that if he started having something to eat, Jesse would too. "Help me up?" He was still feeling a bit achy and weak all over, which was usual for him after the more severe seizure episodes. Even then, he didn't get hit physically by them as Jesse did. Jesse's seizures were the classic kind and Jace had seen him crack his head on concrete (the first time he ever witnessed one of his husband's fits), sprain his wrist, dislocate a shoulder, bruise his ribs. He also didn't get any auras or warning signs that seizures were coming. Jessed described a momentary sensation of weird dizziness like he was being pulled forward but that was it. Luckily, he didn't have them often because Jace would be a nervous wreck and want to isolate him in a room wrapped in cotton wool forever. He let Jesse carefully help him off the sofa and wait a few moments to make sure he wasn't going get dizzy and fall over, then they headed out to their terrace, pausing in the kitchen to grab some plates and cutlery for their dinner. They sat close together on the bench at the outdoor table and unpacked the dishes Jesse picked up from their favourite Italian place, but even though they were all Jace's favourites - Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Four Cheese Baked Gnocchi, Spaghetti with Turkey Ragu, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Tiramisu for dessert - his mind was still on the the things Jesse had just told him. Once Jesse had put plates, cutlery, and napkins in front of them, he took Jesse's hand to get his attention. "I would never want you to take any of this off me, baby. Even if you could, I wouldn't let you. You just need to know that." He gave Jesse a soft kiss, his lips lingering against Jesse's when he wanted to make it last a little longer. "Have you been thinking about your real dad? Or about the cunt you thought was for most of your life? You're never going to be able to fully put either of those to bed. You were too late to get the chance to meet your dad like Merlin is. You never talked a lot about that at the time, when you found out."
