Monday night at 43 Unicorn

Nell figured that Gladio deserved something special after his weekend, so she'd busily worked on making some fancy Cup Noodle based dinner for him. With some of her own touches, obviously. It might be a fairly basic dinner, but it was what he loved, so that's what he was getting.

Bonus points, it was super easy to put together, so she had plenty of time to relax after all of her daily stuff was completed.

See? That was the greatness at Cup NoodleTM at work! Versatile and easy, so you can make it your own and still have time and energy to enjoy all the other great things life had to offer!

And digging into some noodles lovingly made by Nell was just what Gladio needed after the weekend, which still left him feeling unsettled and troubled. Concerned,mostly, though he was trying not to be. Fine. It would be fine. Right? Iggy wasn't one to just make rash decis--

--okay, Iggy wasn't one to make rash decisions unless it was important. He'd just have to trust his friend that he wasn't about to make a huge mistake...

Some extra time at the gym had helped. So had being greeted enthusiastically by the kittens when he got home. And he knew so would some time spend with Nell, so he went to go find her and greet her with his usual swooping in kiss.

"Hey."

Nell smiled up at him and kissed him again before tugging him down next to her. "Come snuggle," she said. "Dinner's easy, so we have time."

She was a little concerned about him. He hadn't said much about the weekend, but she knew it was weighing on him. "Good day at the gym?"

Nell didn't have to tug too hard at all; Gladio easily followed that kiss onto the couch to join her, settling in comfortably with a soft grunt.

"It's always a good day at the gym," he said, with his usual crooked grin, though it was a bit quieter, a bit less bombastic than it might have typically been. "How 'bout here? Nice and quiet?"

She curled into him, nestling into his arms with a small sigh of contentment. "My day was pretty busy. All the spring days are. There's just so much to do."

Nell smiled up at him, "But I put in a good hard day's work and now I'm all yours."

She hesitated, then added. "And all ears, if you're of a mind to talk. Not if you don't." She understood all too well the not being ready, or interested, in talking bit her ownself.

"All ears, huh?" Gladio asked, grin growing a little as he took a moment to playfully flick one of her earlobes. "That's funny, 'cause I only see two."

But he probably should talk to Nell about some of the things from this weekend, huh? He followed the little joke with a small sigh, shifting a little to get more comfortable.

"Guess I'm just still trying to sort it all out, you know? Igs wasn't kidding when he said it was pretty big news."

Nell laughed and batted his hand away playfully. "Oh you."

But she watched as he shifted, moving a little to give him some more room.

"It's a lot," she said gently. "A lot to sort out and a lot to consider."

"And a lot to get used to," Gladio said with a faint huff, and he shook his head. "And that's what it pretty much comes to. Once Iggy sets his mind on something, you better have a damn good case against it if he's gonna change his mind."

"He does not seem one to easily change his mind," Nell agreed.

She was quiet for a moment. "If he - is there a possibility he'd regain his sight. With the change, I mean?"

At least where she was from, the change could heal certain injuries.

And that went especially true when it came to people he cared about. Gladio grunted slightly.

"It might," he admitted, which was another pretty good sticking point in Iggy's favor. "But he says he's not counting on it. He was still blind in that one future where he did go through with this, but you can never tell with those things. He says, if not, then oh well, but if it does? Then even better."

He was quiet for a moment before he begrudgingly admitted, "That would be pretty great for him, though, if it did."

"It would," Nell said. "He's amazing even not sighted, but he has such an enjoyment of things that of he could see them as well..."

She sighed. " I guess all we can do is support him whatever he does."

"I just hope," Gladio said, getting down to one of the main roots of his contention, "it doesn't end up just some big mistake."

Nell nodded. "It's not something that can be undone. And it's not as if he can try it out beforehand to see what it's like."
