Christmas Update

A/N:Prepare for lots of fun and fluff!

Aurora had followed the instructions. She mashed the grain into fine flour. She beat the eggs before adding them. But…something wasn't right. The dough was too sticky and tough. It didn't want to roll out or be in any other shape other than a glob. Remembering the advice to not knead the dough too much or it would be tough, she threw the shapeless globs over the fire.She waited by it, patiently, watching the gray-white dough expand and lose its sticky-dough complexion. But the globs were still globs, she sighed aloud. And should the glob be browning? Or yellowing at least? They were still paste-white.Aurora sighed again, this time letting out more of a defeated irritation. The bottoms were darkening, burning. But the tops still looked as they had, although less sticky. She removed them from the fire and set them to cool. They looked…not good.This was her first attempt to bake by herself. It was never something she had been interesting in growing up. Most other girls had, from their mothers, or aunts, or from whoever. But not Aurora. She had been fighting, learning to toughen herself not how to not-toughen bread dough. She learned where to strike and enemy for a quick death, and how to spot weaknesses and armor flaws. While other girls were picking up how to bake bread, how to keep herbs growing in the cold weather, how to strip fish and how to prepare the meat, what to do with all the other bits of animals that they didn't eat, how to get mud out of wool, how much water to add to stew, when to add more and when to add less, and little things that Aurora didn't have the time or care to think about.
She and Luceus had been in a relatio shop less than 10 months and all she has done is prove how worthless she is to have in the home. These biscuits are just another addition. She dared to touch one, and finding it just warm she pulled a chunk out of it. The bottoms were burnt, like she thought, but the insides were mushy, and texture disgusting. She couldn't swallow the bite she'd taken went to the window to spit it out. She tossed the chunk out with it hoping it wouldn't land on someones head.
Sighing, she leaned onto the window's sill. She'd have to throw them all out.
Sudenly Luceus came through the door looking kinda..exhausted?
"Bad day?" Aurora asked. Luceus looked flustered, his face twisting as if he was thinking about a multitude of things.
"I wouldn't call it bad, just busy."Luceus shrugged. He paused, and his brown eyes fell onto the biscuits on the table. He reached for one. "I was looking for something but there were so many people.But at least i got it in the end and that's all that matters."She wanted to ask him what he got but then she saw that he reached for one biscuit."Oh, don't, they're terrible." Aurora warned.
Luceus turned the biscuit over in his hand."They don't look that bad." Luceus said, bringing it up his mouth.
Aurora reached out to stop him from biting down but wasn't fast enough. The reaction was immediate. Luceus paused, looked down at the biscuit, then quickly at Aurora. He chewed, although she could see in his eyes that it wasn't enjoyable. He swallowed and then cleared his throat."I'm sorry." Aurora said. She couldn't eat that tiny bite that she'd pulled off. She knew he ate it because he didn't want to spit it out in front of her. "I know they're gross.""Eh, it's not that bad." Luceus shrugged, the high-pitched lie in his voice too obvious. "You know, once you get past the whole burnt and raw thing."He took another bite, this time trying his best to pretend that nothing was wrong. Aurora laughed, stepping closer to wrap her arms around his waist and buried her head into his shoulder. The hand that wasn't holding the raw/burnt biscuit came around her shoulders. She felt a kiss on her head, and smiled into the black shirt on his neck."I love you." Aurora muffled."I love you, too." Luceus said. "Well what did you buy?"Aurora looked up at him with a smile."You will find out tonight when Santa is comming, and don't you dare smiling at me like that i won't tell you what it is."Aurora huffed but pressed a quick kiss against his lips before she ran off with a laugh."Fine just wait until you find out that Santa got you nothing this year haha!"Luceus laughed and shook his head."You are the greatest gift to me and hopefully..."Luceus took out a small box with a ring in it from his pocket."You will be my gift forever."

A/N:Merry Christmas everyone!
