Monday night at Nell and Gladio's

Dinner tonight was fancied up Cup Noodle. And fresh baked bread.

Nell was a little disheartened after having the flowers snickering behind her back all day, so she was making something easy that she knew Gladio would enjoy and that let her spend her usual cooking time sitting with the kittens by the fire and reading a book.

As if he still wasn't finding the occasional rubber duck in random spots around the house.

"I got a lot of cheese," Gladio said. Helpfully. "And all kinds of really fancy stuff. Most of 'em I don't know how to pronounce, I figured we could have fun trying them all together. Apparently, it's the cheese panda's birthday, so they were having a big sale at the store."

Gladio's attention piqued like the biggest puppy ever and literally nothing else Nell said seemed to have been heard after two very specific words left her mouth.

"We're having Cup NoodleTM for dinner?"

Yup, repeating it just confirmed it. There were very few words in their language that sounded quite so good as those!

"I mean," said Gladio, looking at Nell with that mischievous glint in his eyes as he laughed as well, "any night is a good Cup NoodleTM night in my book. Quick and convenient, versatile and satisfying....really, what's not to love? Especially when your perfect cup is shared with your perfect person."

Which, of course, called for another kiss. Who knew product placement could actually be so romantic, huh?

Hey, now, he remembered how things went after that alleged stint as a Cup NoodleTM spokesmodel in a potential future!

"I don't know," Gladio hedge, his voice a doubtful rumble punctuated with a wink, "it's have to be something pretty incredible if it's going to distract me from the ultimate flavor experience of Cup NoodleTM."

"Mmm." Gladio's hum was a deep, rumbling agreement. His hand slid down Nell's arm in kind, slipping around to her back. He shifted to make it easier to draw her in closer as the other hand joined the first.

There might have been some cocky little revenue-producing quip right there, but, nah. He was just going to stick with this right now. He could dazzle her with his clever wit when he wasn't working a very different kind of charm.
