something most people knew about ed was the fact that he enjoyed traveling and different cultures which was why he decided, from a very young age, to learn various languages. now that he was twenty-four with a great amount of traveling behind him edmund taught himself french, italian, greek, as well as german. it helped him when it came to studying art and art history, which was his minor.
without much thought he picked french. chuckling softly he affectionately kissed the top of her head once again before murmuring, if you're tired, just use me as a pillow. being rather tall and muscular allowed edmund to be a rather comfortable pillow for elle as well as a human shield, something he never really minded.

"that's what i'm gonna do." she smiled and kissed him on the shoulder. it was weird, but she couldn't reach his face from the position she was in. noelle watched the movie for a good ten minutes before she started to get a bit drowsy. she felt her eyelids giving up on her after trying to stay awake. she quickly fell asleep in ed's arms.
elle woke up with a start after her nap and fell out of the couch. elle giggled at herself. she was having her childish moment, ed had his and now she was having hers. she put her arms out like she wanted him to pick her up, like a little kid.

the moment elle fell asleep ed couldn't help but look down in awe. she looked peaceful and somehow still managed to take his breath away. but the moment elle woke up and fell down a look of worry appeared as he immediately scooped her up, without much effort.
are you alright elle? but upon hearing her giggling a quiet sigh of relief escaped ed. ruffling her hair, edmund kissed her cheek before asking, do you want to start the movie over again?

elle smiled and sat on ed's lap and kissed him on the cheek. elle smiled some more and kissed gave him a quick kiss on the mouth. a look of worry suddenly overcame elle's face. "i missed it?" she frowned. "oh, no, you don't have to. i've already seen it, besides..." she froze for a quick moment, she remembered that ed had put the chicken in the oven, what, two or three hours ago? "the chicken." she whispered and ran over to the kitchen as fast as she could and put oven mits on before taking it out. when she took it out it was completely burnt and steaming. "the first thing i've ever burnt... i can't believe it." she set it down on top of the stove and just stared at it. "well, uh, we could, uh, scrape the blackness off of it.. or, uh." elle had never burnt anything in her life, never and now all of a sudden she did and it felt terrible.

Edmund had forgotten about the chicken, but that was because he was busy watching not only the movie but Elle sleep. Eyes widen as Elle jumped out of his arms. Quickly following his girlfriend Ed sighed softly before saying, First times for everything… Right? Embracing the blonde female from behind he apologized, Sorry Elle for forgetting about the chicken, it still smells amazing and I'm certain tastes great. Sure the scent in the kitchen was something more burnt than delicious, but the hint of spices cancelled it out. Bending his head, he kissed the girl on top of her head before commenting, Elle, do you wanna just sit while I finish getting dinner ready? Though he had burnt food before, which was why he preferred sticking to the desserts despite the need to use an oven it was something he found much easier, he knew how Elle was. She was a girl who loved her cooking to be perfect and it was, even now it was despite the burnt appearance and scent.

"yeah, i guess so." elle frowned at ed. she wished that she had now never fallen asleep, but the small nap was amazing for her. she could never sleep anymore because of work and was always stressed out about it. so it was nice for her to finally have a small nap in ed's arms, especially since she was in his arms the whole time.
elle shook her head, "no, it's fine. it wasn't your fault." she turned around so she was facing ed and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before speaking again. "yeah, that sounds great." she scrunched her nose as she smelled everything around her. she hadn't noticed it before. now it was overcoming. so many different smells from the various spices she used to the awful burnt smell. "i could help you, y'know. it wouldn't be a problem, i would love to, actually."

a faint smile appeared as he heard elle offer to help, kissing her on top of her head he said, nope, i said i would do dinner and that's what i'll do. i want you to relax. releasing noelle from his embrace he walked over to the sink and washed his hands. rolling up his sleeves he turned on the sink and ran his fingers over the rather cold water.
grabbing an empty plate he walked over to the burnt chicken. edmund began taking apart the chicken. though it was rather hot edmund found himself okay with the temperature, but that was only because he used to hot temperatures thanks to the various potions classes he had to take to become a healer.
after a few more minutes of taking the chicken apart he suggested, if you want to help me you can take the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and add the white chocolate shavings on top and put the fresh raspberries on the cake as well. it was not much to do, but he wanted elle to relax and not be stressed with anything.

elle pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. she wasn't used to letting other people do things for her. she was always looking after people and cooking for them. she basically raised her sister and was always cooking for her family since she could basically sit in her high-chair and when she started dating ed she was always the one to cook the dinners. although he attempted to cook a couple times but she always took command and finished the dinner herself. elle was basically a natural at cooking.
elle attempted to protest but ed was already taking a plate out when she had thought up of a good argument. so she just watched him get dinner ready for the two. it made her think about them in months, years, even. she wanted to still be with him in ten years, maybe even with kids. she wanted to marry ed and have a family with him. she hadn't thought about it much until this very moment when she thought about how great of a father he could be.
elle bit down on her lip as she thought about whether or not she should help ed with the dessert. she was a horrible dessert person, she loved eating them but making them, not so much. "oh, no, i couldn't. that's your specialty. i wouldn't want to ruin anything." she was now perfectly fine with just leaning against the wall and watching him make them both dinner. it was a nice change to see him putting dinner together instead of her stressing about everything and cooking dinner on top of all of that.

edmund turned his head but the moment he saw the pout on his girlfriend's face a laugh escaped. giving her a quick kiss on the nose ed commented, how is it you manage to look adorable even when pouting? but after the quick kiss on he turned around and began taking the chicken apart. he already knew that elle was trying to find a way to protest and find a way to help. so instead he suggested something that elle might not do.
it was not that he wanted to do everything himself. it was that he wanted elle to relax, something that she needed to do. as he continued to take apart of the chicken, leaving the non-burnt pieces on the new plate while leaving the burnt pieces in the pan, a soft laugh escaped as elle declined edmund's suggestion.
desserts, they were his specialty. it was because he not only had a sweet tooth, but wanted something to learn. but that was not the only reason, he also wanted to learn because he wanted to be able to make things for his wife and kids. chuckling softly he commented, you wouldn't ruin it, unlike me and the chicken.

"because i'm just that adorable." elle smiled and sat up on the counter. not close to the kitchen but close enough to be within an arm reach of ed. she dangled her feet over the side of the counter. she's a pretty short girl so it's not uncommon for her to look even shorter when sitting down. when ed wasn't cutting for a quick second, elle snuck a piece of chicken into her mouth. "mmmm... not that bad. a bit burnt but not that bad. i might let you burn dinner more often if this is how it's gonna turn out." elle teased ed. she loved teasing him, ever since they were little. she would tease him about his art but in a playful way when they were young. when she would see a sad look on his face she would take it all back and say how amazing it looked and that it should be in an art gallery or something. that always got him to smile.
elle started to eat the burnt pieces without even noticing. she was just watching him taking apart the chicken and found herself eating the burnt pieces of chicken. she made a somewhat disgusted face. "look at what you made me do! you got me distracted. it's not that bad anyways, you did good." for burnt pieces of chicken they weren't all that bad. it could be a lot worse than what it tastes like right now. "you didn't ruin the chicken! it wasn't your fault, don't blame yourself." elle frowned and put the chicken back in the pan. she wasn't going to eat another bite, if she did then she wouldn't have enough room for the actual dinner and she would probably get sick from all of it.
