"I don't think I'm going to get this today."

"Keep trying. Just focus." Alastor said gently, hearing his voice travel from your left side to your right as he paced behind you.

You pursed your lips and tried to concentrate on making the object in front of you disappear, but to your dismay it merely flickered in and out of site before staying visible. You let out an annoyed groan and threw your head back in agitation and defeat before looking back at him. "This is humiliating." You grumbled. It was frustrating, this used to be a no brainer for you.

"You're doing fine, darling. Just try and relax. Frustration is not going to help you. You must remain calm to remain in control. Take a deep breath, readjust your focus, and concentrate on your goal. It's okay if other thoughts pass through, just acknowledge them and bring your focus back to the task at hand."

You sighed and nodded at your lover, making a quick note to adjust your posture and sat up straight; relaxing every part of your body that was holding tension, mainly your jaw and shoulders. With a steady breath and a clearer mind you had one current objective. You tried again.

It took a moment, but after it flickered once or twice you managed to make it disappear from site before your very eyes. You grinned and clapped your hands a few times excitedly, happy and a little proud of yourself.

"Well done, my dear! I knew you could!" He praised you, a heavy blush rising to your face as he knelt down and gently kissed the top of your head. You scrunched your face playfully as you smiled back up at him.

"Thanks for being patient with me." You said softly.

"No need to thank me, darling." He smiled warmly at you before he stood back up. "I'm going to go start dinner, keep practicing until you've done it successfully a few more times."

"Whatcha making?" You asked.

"Food."

"Oh word, that narrows it down." You murmured to yourself.

He looked back at you over his shoulder with a furrowed brow and a bemused smirk. You couldn't help but laugh softly as you saw his expression.

"I hear a lot of back-talk, and not a lot of practicing." He chuckled as he walked out of the room.

"Whatcha gonna do about it, spank me?" You snickered.

"I might." You suddenly heard directly behind you, as he had teleported from the kitchen to directly behind you and gave your neck a kiss; nipping it gently before disappearing and teleporting back into the kitchen.

Your mouth hung open in disbelief, feeling your libido rising once again as you blushed heavily from his actions. "How do you expect me to concentrate after doing that??"

"The same way you expect me to concentrate on making dinner after you called me 'sir' an hour ago." You heard him call out back to you, followed by some shuffling as he gathered ingredients together from out of the cupboards.

"... Touché."

You continued to practice for a while, perhaps another 20 minutes or so; and were eager to say your attempts were successful. Yes you were still a little aggravated that this shouldn't even be an issue in the first place, however, regaining control of it was significantly better than lack of progress. Eventually you started to feel slightly fatigued, and you decided it was time for a break. That, and the aroma of veggies and spices was practically beckoning to you from down the hall. Your stomach rumbled slightly as you approached the kitchen, the smell of sautéed peppers, onions and celery amongst other things was enough to make your mouth water.
