The fact that the boy's birthday was soon was in the back of his head. A five year old. He was parenting a five year old. Merlin. Lucas felt like he'd done quite a bit of... 'on the job' learning over the last few months. This was just another step. Right?
Wearing a thematically appropriate tee-shirt to match Aiden's costume, Lucas steered them both toward the table. Snacks. That seemed low key enough. "What do you say, big guy?" he asked, looking down and ruffling the boy's hair. "Let's get us something to eat?" The excitement of getting to pick his own costume, coupled with the big fluffy Angel wings that were attached to his little blue X-Men jumpsuit, was enough to distract Aiden - if only temporarily - from the crowds of people and children that filled this merry space. The small boy wiggled his shoulders happily, more than amused about how the wings moved with the motion; The fluttery feathers made the small four year old grin, and he even tugged a bit at Lucas's hand to make him look at them too.
He held onto the hand a little tighter when he realised how many people were about, though, and the grin fades ever so slightly as he walked a little closer to his guardian's side. There were lots of other kids... other small people his size, in many other costumes. The little boy looked at everyone curiously, shying away whenever someone passed too close, and looked up at Lucas when the man ruffled his hair. Nod. There were people carrying cupcakes and sweets. He definitely wanted some of those. |
