Monday Night at Nell and Gladio's

[mylandmyrules]

It had been a lovely weekend and Nell was feeling happy and relaxed. She'd arranged for someone to open Covent Garden Flowers in case she wasn't able to make it in, so she had the day off. She'd used the time to make some venison stew and some good bread to go with it. She'd also made chocolate chip skillet cookies and a skillet Texas sheet cake to serve with ice cream later.

The rest of the day was spent puttering around the house and spending time with Gladio and the kittens whenever they happened to find her and making sure the house was ready for guests.

Nell laughed. "Do we need to send her over some?" she asked. "I think we could spare one or two."

She kissed him again, just because she could. "I'll be looking forward to seeing how the remodel turns out!"

"How dare you," said Gladio, grinning as he met that Just-Because kiss with one of his own. "I need every single one of those Cup Noodle^TM, and there's no shortage of them at T&C anyway."

And thank the gods for that; he'd already gone through that kind of shortage before! Never again, if he could help it!

"And me, too," he said, with maybe a little bit of pride creeping into that grin on his face. "I just hope people are into it, but, if anything, I might even start enjoying treadmill run if I've got some good scenery to go along with it, you know?"

Nell just grinned back at him. "It would have been the neighborly thing to do," she teased.

"Oh, yes, scenery would improve things. And it would be nice on days when the steps are all icy," Nell agreed "Running in the woods isn't bad on those days, but the steps and sidewalks are a bit treacherous.

"You know, I'm surprised there's not more people limping into the clinic on those days," Gladio realized.

And didn't glance over to Prompto at all, really.

"But, yeah, good for stormy days, too. Or days when it's raining candy or slime or something around here..."

"Now if we could just have a series of underground tunnels to travel in," Nell said with a grin. "Keeping us safely dry from all sorts of strange weather!"
