Monday Night at Nell's

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had added the basics for making a variety of nachos to her usuals tonight. Lana and the Detective had been handwavily notified of the date change and Nell hoped they'd be able to make it. She was also hoping Gladio would be interested in staying over again tonight since that would be just the perfect end to the evening.

The kittens were out and about being adorable and getting into everything.

Gladio's grin was back full-tilt. "Part of why I'm here early," he explained, "is 'cause Liliana was coming over."

[mylandmyrules]

"Ohhhh..." Nell grinned at him. "Then I'm guessing he won't be here tonight. Should we start inviting her along as well?"

[sword_chocobro]

"Yeah," Gladio shook his head a little, "that'd be a pretty good guess. And I don't know. Would you want to invite her?"

[mylandmyrules]

"I like her a lot," Nell said, "but sometimes... I'm not sure how comfortable you are with her. Nothing I can quite put my finger on... but I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable here."

Gladio shrugged a little again, but there was a sigh that went along with it, wondering if he could really explain it to Nell in any useful kind of way.

"I like her, too," he admitted, "but it's complicated. I just kind of worry about Iggy."

[mylandmyrules]

"I understand that, I guess," Nell said. "If Iggy knew more about me he might worry about you some too."

[sword_chocobro]

"Well, it's not necessarily that," Gladio said, frowning little, but he snorted again. "He knows he doesn't have to worry about me. They're just...pretty intense. And I know how hard he took everything with the last guy, so if this ends up not working out, either..."

She turned enough to rest her head on his shoulder. "All we can do is support him and be there for him in sadness and joy," she said.

"And not make fun of him," said Gladio with a very firm and very serious nod, before turning his head so he could plant a kiss on Nell's, "too much when he screws it up."

[mylandmyrules]

Nell laughed against hs mouth before she returned the kiss. "You be nice, now," she teased.

[sword_chocobro]

"No promises," Gladio warned her, "but I'll do my best. Only 'cause you said so, though."

[mylandmyrules]

Nell finished the last of the dishes and rinsed out the sink before turning and drying her hands on Gladio's shirt. "Ooops," she said unrepentantly. "I think I got your shirt all wet. Whatever will you do?"

What? No one was expected for another half hour or more at least.
