Ignis had taken all sorts of time to prepare for this well in advance. At work he found himself counting down the day and finally it arrived. So he made a nice set of steaks, with mushrooms and onions on the side. Also there was fish cooked as close to Nida's island recipeh as he could manage. Parsley potatoes and salad were sides and for dessert there were a few chocolate confections along with their leftover wedding cake. Coffee and tea were available for them too.

On the table were nicely wrapped gifts beside a vase filled with a dozen roses he'd had a florist dye green. One gift contained a piece of paper with writing on it that led Nida to outside to look at two gifts (as paper was a traditional first year gift) which were a new grill and grilling accessories.On the table too sat a small wrapped stack of new notebooks to draw in, and on top of that sat a wrapped professional drawing artist kit. And on top of that was a wrapped plentiful stash of tea.

Ignis had also purchased a new set of candles, a nice stack of wood for their fireplace, a plush rug to sit in front of said fireplace and another personal item for them. But those last bits were upstairs that Nida would see later.

So as he waited for Nida to get home, he bustled around the kitchen, making sure everything was in order.

Comments

[faithfulsupport]

Inwardly Ignis laughed, because this kiss was turning out to be so much more emotionally fueled than he had intended it. But that was what he loved his husband for, for being the emotional side of him.

He followed Nida's lead and held onto his mate's face as they kissed because contact was so very important to one who'd been pretty touch starved all his life.

[skyward_eyes]

Yes, very touch starved, for both of them. And he just wanted to be closer to the man. Which wasn't going to be a thing. Not right at the second.

"We should eat."

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis pulled back when he heard those words, and moved to pull out Nida's chair and get the finishing touches done.

"Of course."

[skyward_eyes]

Nida moved to take his chair and twisted it around so he could sit down and watch Ignis.

"At least you're a delight to watch."

[faithfulsupport]

Nida's husband smiled a little shyly.

"I hope you say that about me and other areas of the house."

[skyward_eyes]

"Of course I say it everywhere, and any time."

ANd yes, he's still smiling, because why would he not be? He loves this man.

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis turned away because his face was more than likely a dark red. He loved the feeling that his husband gave him. They'd been married a year and every day felt like the first day all over.

"Then let's see what you say to dinner shall we?"

[skyward_eyes]

"I say yes," Nida said as he rose to his lover. Better to help carry dinner over for himself. "And please, because you always do good work."

[faithfulsupport]

Before Ignis could even blink, Nida was up on his feet to help which reminded him of one of the many reasons as to why he fell in love with his husband.

"I do love an appreciative audience."

And there was a huge smile on his face.

[skyward_eyes]

And here Nida thought it was because he was beautiful and could dance.

"I always appreciate you, my love."

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis would go far beyond beautiful in any description of his husband. He would also never forget that dancing was the way Nida had displayed his tailfeathers in his apartment that night after finding the man high up in a tree. Star shaped cookies had been a feature as well which was all thoroughly delightful and enchanting.

"I know and I love you for it."

The advisor gave his husband a quick peck on the cheek as he finished getting dinner on the table.

[skyward_eyes]

He might laugh to have it compared to Julia's feathers, but he didn't know and so couldn't laugh.

"And I you for loving me," he answered, moving to help before finally pulling out a chair for Ignis. "Now sit. I cater to you tonight."

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis smiled, but that smile faded as he was being seated and told that he was being catered to. Yes this was all well and good but the advisor had planned it being the other way around.

"Oh..alright."

[skyward_eyes]

"I live to serve all your needs and wants for the rest of the night," he said, smiling at his husband. He just wanted to be with this man, and make him feel good.

"Now, let me have your plate."

[faithfulsupport]

Somehow Nida's words made him hungry both for food and pleasurable things that would have to wait. They had dinner and gifts first and Ignis was all around excited.

So he obeyed his husband without hesitation or question and lifted the requested item.

"Well here is my plate then."

[skyward_eyes]

Nida smiled and served first Ignis and then himself, before happily settling in for their meal.

"Smells amazing, as always."

[faithfulsupport]

"The proof is in if you like it, darling."

Ignis was pleased by the compliment, but he always waited for someone to taste the stuff before patting himself on the back.

[skyward_eyes]

"Your cooking doesn't need proving," Nida countered as he started into his own meal. And yes, it was of course delicious. Which was silly to expect anything else for.

[faithfulsupport]

"I thank you for the compliment." Ignis replied, tucking into his own meal after putting his napkin on his lap even if he was pretty close to the table. And his mind went in a whirl as to what he could've done a little differently next time, but he kept that feedback to himself.

[skyward_eyes]

The feedback was silly, and Nida was content with the meal. Happy with it even.

"My dear you keep impressing me, with every day. I shall start to think you something divine if you keep it up."

[faithfulsupport]

"Well now I am certainly not divine." Ignis replied, after thoroughly wiping his mouth with his napkin. He surely thought his husband was, but that was his own private thought.

"After dinner would you like to open your gifts?"

[skyward_eyes]

"Are you one of them?" Nida asked, amusement in his eyes. "Even if not, I'd say yes."

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis smiled and still felt a little shy as he answered his husband. "I certainly can be if you'd like."

[skyward_eyes]

"You will be then. Though I am excited for you to open yours, so I fear dessert will be delayed."

[faithfulsupport]

That got a chuckle. "At least dessert won't get cold. And neither will you."

There was a promise in that statement.
