"Fuck off." Louis swears and puts his pointer finger into his mouth after he feels the knife nick it. Harry snorts next to him, biting his bottom lip to stop his laughter.

"Okay, and now gentlemen, hand your lady the cheese to begin to grate on top of the pasta and you continue to chop the vegetables." The teacher says. Louis smirks, handing the block of cheese to Harry.

"My lady." He mumbles. Harry elbows him.

"Says last nights bottom."

"Oh fuck off." Louis chuckles under his breath. Harry smirks to himself, grating the cheese over the pasta.

"Louis hun, you're using the wrong knife." The teacher says. Louis looks down at his badly cut tomatoes.

"I'll blame the questionable looking tomatoes on the knife and not my cutting skills. Thanks love." He says back. Harry watches Louis switch knives with a fondness in his eyes.

"So what brought you boys to a couples cooking class?" She asks. Harry tears his eyes away from Louis to answer.

"We want to adopt kids, but were not really the best cooks. And generally you need to feed children." Harry chuckles, she laughs along with him, eyes going back to Louis as he tried to fix his tomatoes.

"I feel like this is too much cheese." Harry says now that the teacher was near. He was halfway done with the block of cheese and the pasta (that was already cooked with a mixture that included cheese) was completely covered in shredded cheese.

"No such thing as too much cheese." Louis answers for the teacher. She nods in agreement nod turns back to Harry.

"Trust me, grate the whole block." She tells him.

"This is so good." Harry moans as he takes another large bite of the food. Each couple got their own table to eat the meal they created.

"It really is. Can't believe we made it." Louis says with a mouthful. Harry snorts a laugh.

"Seriously. Remember when we tried to make pizza from scratch?" Harry mentions. Louis' eyes widen.

"We don't speak of that day." Louis answers with a shudder. Harry smiles and reaches out for Louis' hand.

"This was fun to do huh? We should do this every week." Harry says to his husband. Louis nods in agreement and brings Harry's hand up to his mouth.

"Now that we both work full time, sometimes I feel like I don't see you enough. So this was really nice, I missed doing an actual activity with you instead of just dinner and a movie and then off to sleep." Louis tells him, Harry nods in agreement.

"It's crazy thought right? We've made it through high school, undergrad and my doctorate. We've been together for ten years." Harry says with a happy gleam in his eyes. Louis bites his bottom lip.

"It really is. I feel like nowadays people don't stay together, people fall out of love. Which is fine, but god, I can never ever imagine not being with you or not being in love with you. I honestly do not know what I would do with myself." Louis says, Harry pouts, eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Hey now." Louis says and kisses the back of Harry's hand. "No tears baby."

"Then don't say fucking cute shit like that." Harry says and sniffles, shoveling more food into his mouth. Louis laughs, also taking a bite.

"So what else should we start doing?" Louis asks, he watches Harry's thoughtful expression.

"Maybe lets go for hikes, and like not just the mountain by our house. Like the ones that are kind of secret spots and kinda far. Ooh, and lets go to the movies instead of our couch. And make out in the back like we're 18 again." Harry says with a grin, Louis nods, and smiles.

"Okay yeah. I love all those. Let's do it." Louis grins.
