Thanksgiving at 43 Unicorn

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had been busy cooking and baking for the past few days. All right, maybe it was just going to be herself and Gladio, but she wanted to make an extra pie for Steven and the Detective, and something for Lana, and extras to send home with Gladio for Ignis, and another pie for Liliana, and a mini feast to leave for Eleanor, and a pie for Box, and... These things took time!

Besides, it was fun to do.

They'd thought about going to Hannibal's big feast, but ultimately decided that a quiet cozy day at home was what they both wanted. Her food definitely wouldn't be anywhere near as fancy as Hannibal's, but it would be delicious and there'd be more than enough to share later. So here they'd stay.

The house was filled with delicious smells and the kittens were dozing with full tummies from the extra little treats Nell dropped in their bowls as she was cooking. Everything was set to go with just a few last minute touches, so Nell settled herself down for a cup of tea by the gas fireplace to relax for a few moments.

Gladio smiled gently, taking a moment brush back any hair that might've tumbled forward when Nell ducked her head like that, though it was mostly just an excuse to sort of offer some kind of soft gesture, and see her face a little bit better, especially since he was just gazing at it fondly now, before leaning in to offer a light kiss.

"Anyone who sees who you are and doesn't love you for it," he said, "doesn't know what they're missing. And it's definitely not something I'm going to take for granted, either."

"Wouldn't expect you would, Tall Man." She tried to speak lightly, but his words... they touched something deep inside and broke it wide open.

She tried to kiss him back, but had to stop and wrap her arms around him and burrow her face into his neck, getting as close to him as she could. "Wouldn't expect you would."
