Ryker paused for a moment and shook his head slowly, marveling at that. It was funny how Abby could be raised in a moderately good home and not know how to make anything, but he was raised with abusive parents and could cook for a restaurant. Then again, he had his adoptive father, who was a bachelor- so he cooked everything himself. Ryker waited for a couple seconds, thinking about how to go about that. "We-ell, mac n cheese is literally one of those things that I can only make from a box." He pointed out with a grin. "Buuuuut I prefer Stouffers sooo... that's what I have in the freezer. A whole lot of em. But I can help you make the fake kraft stuff too." He teased.

She gave his shoulder a light punch "ima be eating the Kraft stuff thank you very much! I'll make it myself if I have to!" She marched her little self to the pantry and stared up at the individual bowls. "Crap... I forgot I put them up there..."

Ryker slowly toppled over like a brick wall back onto the couch and laid there for a couple moments. "FIIINE, I'll make the Kraft stuff. Since you can't REAAACCCHHHHH." He grinned so wide it looked like his face might crack as he bounced up and easily grabbed the boxes, then a pan, and filled the pan with water while turning the stove on.

(I swear, I literally just ate kraft mac n cheese tonight xD. I had nothing else to eat lol)

SAMEEE!!)

"THANK YOU!!!" She crushed him in a hug then let him grab the boxes. "Show off!" She crossed her arms with a gentle smile

"You're welcooooome." Ryker answered, letting out a slight huff of air as she almost broke his ribs, mostly because there wasn't room for his lungs and the air to co-exist in her grip. He then waited for the water to boil and poured the macaroni into the water and remembered to take out the cheese packets beforehand (Please tell me I'm not the only person in the world that has poured the cheese packets and the macaroni into the boiling water more than once *sobs*) aaand everything was great. He set a timer, grabbed some milk, cut up da butter, then strained the macaroni, put the cheese, milk, and butter in, stirred it around, and walla. "Macaroni, on the house." He said cheerfully, putting some of it in a bowl and handing it to her.

I did that once but now I have learned my lesson lol)

Abby practically jumped up and down when he gave her the bowl. She took a great big breath of fresh Mac N Cheese "mmm smells so good!" She made the stupid mistake of licking the metal spoon. "Ouch! I burnt my tongue" she blew on the macaroni. "Oww oww oww" she gave a dramatic shake of her head before cooling her Mac n cheese down. She took a great big bite. She closed her eyes "you may say it's fake, but hunnnn... it's so good!" She scarfed the rest of it down before slipping into the middle of the room. "I need dancing practice. We both need to work on it so we don't have a mishap on the dance floor " she giggled "that would be bad" she ran into her room, grabbing a pair of heels that would be close to the ones she would use with her dress. She gobbled back in, still trying to buckle the second heel

(Oof. I guess I'm just that stupid then)

Ryker shook his head slightly with amusement as Abby got super super happy. He winced as she managed to burn herself on the spoon. "Ouch is right. Try not to burn the house down." He said drily, knowing she'd be okay. He took some himself before eating it much more slowly, watching her quickly disappear then come back out with *shiver of shivers* heels on. "It may be good." He agreed afterwards, sighing as she explained why she was doing that. "So you realize I'm bad at dancing and want to fix it?" He smiled wryly, standing and washing the dishes. "One thing that makes me increasingly happy I am not a female is that no one ever expects me to wear heels. The only thing they look good for is stabbing people with the sharp ends." He laughed a little, walking over.

"I don't have to wear heels but I can because even with heels, I'm still shorter than you!" She giggled, draping her arms over his shoulders. She gave him a small kiss. "Atleast you will dance with me. I know of a few people in particular that refused when asked to dance. Poor Jessica. She thought she was heartbroken. " Abby clenched her jaw "then she ended up getting her version of a fairytale ending." Abby gave a disgusted shiver. "Our fairytale ending is going to be more of a fairy tale than anything else!"

Ryker grinned. "Sorry... I can get you a stepstool if you'd like." He teased as he reciprocated the kiss with a smile. "Pfft, anyone who gets to dance with you is luucky." He said firmly, frowning as she spoke. "Our fairytale ending is going to be PEEERRFECT." He grinned, kissing her again.

Abby couldn't stop herself from kissing him more passionately than he had to her. She giggled and ran a hand from his back to his neck
