The Apartment Above the Photo Hut - Saturday Morning

[flamesburned]

Liz had gone for a walk early that morning as part of her daily exercise and while on her walk she decided to try her hand at baking, so she stopped by the store to get a few extra ingredients, plus making sure there was enough food for Gladio as well and made her way back to the apartment.

After taking a moment to drink some water and rest before she put away the groceries, Liz got everything out and began preparing to make a cake, she knew she could have bought one at the bakery but she wanted to try baking and see how it turned out.

She did decide to put on some music while she cooked, listening to the Beatles as she started mixing everything together, every now and then she would start singing along.

Liz grinned, taking a few moments to enjoy those kisses, “of course, we should be as thorough as possible, I mean, it is your reward after all, I wouldn’t want to rush through anything,” she added, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks.

"Alright," Prompto decided, chuckling a little and very reluctantly unwrapping his arms and pulling away with one more quick kiss before finally relinquishing Liz to the task at hand. "Alright, enough talk! Let's get that cake in the oven already!"

[flamesburned]

Liz was rather reluctant to move away from Prompto but she did quickly finish putting the cake in the pan and then moving it to the oven. She set the timer for 40 minutes.

She turned back to Prompto, her smile wide and her blush deepening, “are you ready for some of your rewards now?”

"Mmhm," Prompto hummed his agreement, giving a small nod and a grin as he stepped forward, but then realized there was a much better way for him to convey that message just now. He wrapped his arm around Liz to pull her back in, facing each other this time, so that it was much easier to kiss her more directly...and more deeply...on the lip, as well as much easier to just let those ones linger even longer.

Until he finally did break away, grinning at Liz for just a brief moment as he pulled away, just enough so that his next move had him sweeping her up in his arms.

"Let's get you," he said, interrupting the statement with another kiss, and starting toward the bedroom, "more comfortable."

Liz grinned, as Prompto wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in. She responded to that kiss very hungrily and then giggled as he swept her into his arms.

“I do like the sound of that,” she said, her smile wide as she wrapped her arms around Prompto tightly.

"You know," Prompto also noted as they were en route, "this is an incredibly big vote of confidence you're giving me, doling out these rewards purely on spec that I'l clean up."

[flamesburned]

Liz laughed at that as Prompto carried her towards the bedroom, “well I can also offer more rewards after the cleaning up?” she said with a grin, “would that be a good incentive as well?”

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Trusting and generous!" Prompto remarked with a chuckle, sounding impressed, and, having finally reached the bedroom after what felt like a terribly long journey, carefully lowered Liz down in the bed.

Very," pressing a kiss against her lips, "very," and now against her chin, "generous."

And now one against her throat before returning back to her lips, and then, a grin.

"You're too good to me."

[flamesburned]

It had felt like such a long journey, Liz giggled as she was lowered down on the bed.

“Well you’ve been so wonderful with everything, it’s the least I can do,” she smiled as she looked up at him.

“There’s also going to be cake,” she added, hopefully they weren’t going to be too distracted that they’d forget about the cake.

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Ah, yes," Prompto grinned back, taking a moment to just soak in the moment and the smile on Liz's face. "How could we forget about the cake?"

Oh. They were definitely going to forget about the cake.

But it was fine! She set the timer! And they wouldn't even have to worry about it for another forty minutes.

[flamesburned]

It was totally going to be fine.

Liz’s smile widened, “we wouldn’t want to forget about that,” she said happily as she looked up at him, her eyes wide and that deep blush still there on her cheeks. She still couldn’t believe that they got to have moments like this and she definitely wanted to be able to take the time and appreciate the moment that she was having with Prompto.

“Hi,” she said with a giggle from where she was laying on the bed and looking up at him.

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Hey," said Prompto back, unable to keep his grin from turning into a laugh, and then he shifted a little, so they could be facing each other on their sides, because, look, he'd been doing his research, and knew that that would probably be much more comfortable for Liz. Plus, it freed up his hand nicely so that he could lift it to her face to lightly brush his thumb against her cheek, against the corner of that smile he thought he'd pretty much lost forever.

"How's it going?"

[flamesburned]

Liz did appreciate the change in position and she adjusted her position slightly so she could get a bit more comfortable and she stared at Prompto, not wanting to take her gaze off him, as they lay on their sides. She took a moment to appreciate the comfort that a gesture like Prompto brushing his thumb against her cheek could bring, she had missed this so much.

“It’s going very well,” she told him and started to giggle a bit, her blush deepening even more, “and you?”

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Going better than it's been for a very, very long time," Prompto answered back, unable to help getting caught up in the deep sincerity of the moment, so much so that, after a barely even a moment after he started to just look at Liz after he'd said it, he had to start kissing her again, or else he'd just be completely and utterly overwhelmed with it all.

[flamesburned]

Liz wasn’t sure if it was possible for her smile to get any bigger than it was but she stared back at Prompto, eyes shining and bright and then when he started to kiss her again, she happily leaned in to that kiss. She was enjoying just how amazing it really was, being there with Prompto and she still couldn’t believe how real everything was, just to make sure she wasn’t dreaming this, she did reach an arm out to wrap around Prompto so that she could help bring herself in a bit closer all the while keeping that kiss going.
