Downtime

[innitmarvelous_og]

After a series of long, exhausting missions, they'd all been granted some downtime, so Nikita had invited Walter over to her apartment for dinner.

As they sat down at the table, Nikita couldn't help but smile at the sight of Walter devouring his first bite of the macaroni and cheese she'd made herself.

"This is incredible, Sugar," Walter said, his mouth full of the cheesy noodles.

Nikita laughed. "I'm glad you like it. It's my go-to comfort food."

With that, they both tucked into the meal with the rule of the evening being they would not talk about Section One. After all, they knew they'd both be called back soon enough, and there was no need to hang the subject around their necks like an albatross.

Walter really enjoyed Nikita's macaroni and cheese, eating two helpings of it. "I know I shouldn't have another, but this is just so incredibly good!"

Nikita laughed again, and motioned for him to help himself. "Go right ahead! I'm glad you like it so much!"
