Mission: Very Possible
Lyle Norg is very pleased with himself. Sure, he and Brainy are in a crisis situation and trapped away from their team, but it's a crisis situation where they still have the time and space to take breaks to collect themselves and recover from the Hell that was the previous universe they'd been trapped in. And since they are no longer in that universe, he can do things now that he couldn't have earlier.
Things like the thing that he is currently very pleased about.
Invisible, he slips into the area already designated as "Brainy's Lab", cradling a mechanical-and-fluff penguin in his hands (it's quite dapper, for a toy, if he does say so himself). Brainy is naturally hard at work, but Lyle can be patient, drifting silently toward the Coluan and taking advantage of his invisibility and Brainy's preoccupation to admire his boyfriend in his natural and undisturbed element. And ogle him a little. He'd done both these things before, but never when he'd been in a position to do anything about them.
He just needs to wait until Brainy turns away...
When the moment comes, Lyle is as swift and silent as a striking snake, dropping the penguin and its attached note where Brainy can't miss it when he turns back, but not actually in Brainy's experiment since an inevitable explosion is not what he's going for here.
Then, holding his breath in anticipation, he steps back to watch Brainy's reaction.

It was a good thing he was invisible, because he could actually feel the smug radiating from him (or maybe it was just excessive body heat due to 'certain biological responses'. Or both).
"You know where to find me when you're done calming things down," he said, putting as much leer into his voice as possible. "I'll go see about the food."
And maybe dash outside for a moment and let the cold take care of his side of things.

When Brainy did arrive a the aforementioned Glacier Viewing Room, the furniture that usually inhabited the main area had been pushed away to form a ring at the edges of the room. Lyle had spread a blanket, picnic style; and arranged the attractively-plated finger-foods so that everything would be in reach of at least one of them. And Lyle faded into visibility a few steps from the door wearing a white button-up shirt, black slacks, and no headband.
"Hey," he said with a smirk. "You look like my date for tonight."

That, not the picnic, not the invitation, was the true sign of Lyle's commitment to this. He actually took off his silly little headband.
"Extremely flattering. Though, I do admit that I find the prospect of not being up to take it off myself while we're in bed somewhat disappointing. It's usually my favorite part of initiating the festivities; it's something like the concupiscent version of cutting a ceremonial ribbon."

"Well, there are plenty of ribbons around here. I'm sure I can find something for you to unravel off of me. Drink? I've got a few options depending on if you want something warm or chilled."
