Prompt: Cooking

~*~*~*~*RMG*~*~*~*~

Light humming filled the kitchen of the large but modest Earthland home of the Exceed Queen, Shagotte. Well ex-queen really but the other Exceeds still insisted on treating her as such and after all the years on Earthland the white cat had decided not argue anymore. Taking a wooden spoon, she stirred the broth that was simmering before adding in a few spices. Now if only Lily would come back with the vegetables their soup could come together.

"Shagotte? I'm back." Speak of the devil, there he was.

"About time." She chided softly, smiling at him as he came though the back door.

"My apologies, My Queen." The black Exceed dropped to one knee before kissing the back of Shagotte's paw.

She giggled, "It's quite alright. But what took you so long?"

Pantherlily handed the bag of fresh vegetables to her as he answered, "Marl just wished to chat. Asked about Skye and Diana."

Shagotte smiled at the mention of her granddaughter and youngest, "And how are they?" She hadn't gotten a chance to ask herself.

Lily smiled back as he took a sniff of the broth while his wife went to wash the vegetation, "Both are just fine. Skye's on a mission at the moment and Diana's happily adjusting to the guild, though given the time she and Mel are probably still enjoying a nap."

The taller cat giggled, knowing full well how much those two enjoyed their naps, and she was glad to hear Lily's human niece was taking good care of their kitten. Placing the various ingredients on the counter, she grabbed a knife and started to chop.

Her humming started again before she asked Lily, "Could you grab the fish, please?"

He bowed lowed, "Of course, Milady."

Shagotte laughed before continuing her chopping. Soon the two were working together to finish off their dinner. As Shagotte finished the soup, Lily tossed together a quick salad and pulled the rolls that had been in the oven out. Soon they were sitting on the porch, the evening nice enough out to do so and enjoying their meal.

"Thank you for coming over today and cooking with me. I know how busy you can be at the guild."

The ex-knight smiled at her, "Of course, My Queen. All you have to do is say something and I'll be wherever you need me to be."

Her smile was just a bit exasperated, "Lily…" She may not have argued with the other Exceeds about being queen anymore but her husband was different.

Pantherlily smirked lightly and wrapped his tail around her, "You'll be my queen, Shagotte. No matter what."

The regal cat blushed prettily as she shyly looked down at her lap, he could still do that to her, "And you'll always be my knight."

Short, sweet and un-betaed XD And better to end it on that line then something super cheesy! Anyway, hope you enjoyed! I don't thing I've written Shalily before (except for a few things for a bigger future fic) so yay for first posted Shalily! And yes I totally see Lily being a fluffy dork at home with his wife. A few other things, set sometime way in the future (clearly XP) and because I don't think I've said anything about them before, Skye is my Happy and Carla kid (about a year old) while Diana is Lily and Shagotte's daughter and about six months old, Mel is my Gajevy baby. Anyway Let's have one more hooray for Shalily Week! And hopefully I'll get another entry or two done because THESE TWO NEED ALL THE LOVE!
