#“show-off” absolutely. get scooped; u dork

[innerbeast]

... what about a case?

the demon's own curiosity only seems to grow with each, new detail thrown his way. dar's his partner, not his keeper, so if this is some new profession yuri's found interest in he isn't going to keep him from it ( even if none of it is adding up ). he'd expected the handful of odd jobs coupled with couch-warming at the agency, not -- whatever this was.

thankfully, he's kept from giving himself too much of a headache thinking about it, focus stolen away with the grab of an ear. "what do you mean 'how'? i've got excellent hearing, yuri, it isn't that difficult! your voice is very distinct, too. easy to pick up." maybe he did have his own sort of 'yuri-detector', as the other had put it.

a detector in the form of his own adoration, perhaps.

"it's like you've never seen me before, geez... you really are tired, aren't you?" not that he doesn't appreciate the extra attention; each curious touch and exploratory finger. quietly, the hell spawn breathes a sigh, head tilting to press into the hand against his face. "and i would hope you aren't against it. i'd like to keep an us, remember."

the flattering remark isn't entirely lost on him, either. demon or no, his tail kept its own will -- gleefully exposing the swell of pride in the compliment with a wag. some things can't be changed.

"if it would help alleviate your current head fog, i almost wish they stuck around, too." as dar shifts from yuri's hold a smile begins to creep along his lips, ears bouncing pleasantly. "oh, come on, it's not like i did all that much -- it was just a little kick. i can be much flashier, doll."

cue dar's previous smile tilting, left corner of his lips rising higher in a confident smirk. extending an arm, he latches it around yuri's waist. its twin dipping along with dar to catch his partner behind the knees -- essentially scooping him up, bridal style, into his arms.

"for example," he begins, hold tightening before his back is set ablaze with a roaring crackle. burning display twists, its shape altering just as dar pushes off the ground; wings leading them into the air, above the courthouse.

"i could ferry you away in style."

alright, he likes having his hair played with as much as the next guy, but, uh...

the attorney shoots him a confused, somewhat ruffled look (a pout) when his head's turned to and fro, forcing the uncontrolled flush of his cheeks into full goddamn view.

"delicate? hardly. tired? yes. this case was enough of a headache before those idiots jumped me," he grumbles, shying with a roll of his neck-- convenient an excuse as any. when he turns back moments later, his curiosity's clearly reignited.

"hold it! we're in an alley near the courthouse. how'd you hear me from way over there?" the nearest shop isn't exactly around the corner! he reaches for a furry ear, not too different from what he remembers... only now it's accompanied by those horns, one of which yuri -- in all his boldness -- runs an investigative finger across.

yup, totally fucking real. and what happened to his tattoos? the gaudy eyeliner? don't get him wrong, dar's natural face is always a treat, but this is just... unnatural.

"were you keeping this under wraps or something?" he prods, unaware of his own, narrowed stare lingering on pools of molten gold. his hand has since fallen against his partner's cheek, too, thumb rubbing gently where he expects makeup to smudge. "i mean, i'm not against having a smoking hot demon for a boyfriend, but..."

he's overthinking it, isn't he? maybe it's normal-- dar's from some sort of fantasy world, after all! what would a dude from earth know about monsters and magic?

ahem. "whatever it is, i almost wish my 'friends' stuck around so i could see this new you in action," his concern forcefully stifled (for now) by impish intrigue. "can't believe you punted a guy as an opener, you show-off."

OKAY KNOX OUT

[melo-yello]

✨Self-Care Day✨w/ 💥🪨KiriBaku HeadCanons💥🪨

Off Day

💥🪨 You’re hanging upside down on the couch in your shared apartment with a boyfriend on either side of you. Kiri’s hand in yours while Baku’s had one hand on your thigh and the other scrolling on his phone as some cartoon drones on the tv

💥🪨 This is not how you envisioned your first free weekend into the last two weeks going



💥🪨 You sigh loudly before poking out your bottom lip “Suki? Eiji? I’m bored.” you pout dramatically as you throw a hand onto your forehead before you continue “Can we do a self-care day?”

💥🪨 Baku just grunts in affirmation as he stretches before standing. Kiri just smiles “Of course, Pebble. Whatever you want.”

💥🪨 You pop up pecking both guys on the cheek as you bounce off to the kitchen with Kiri’s hand still in yours “Thanks you two are the best!I’ll make tea!!!”

💥🪨 “And don’t you forget it!” Bakugou smiles popping your soft ass as he follows behind most likely to micromanage

💥🪨 You three chat about your week not having much time outside of courses to really talk. Between studying, training, and hero work you guys just didn’t have a lot going of free time.

💥🪨Per usual you and Kiri really carry the conversation Baku only chiming in ever so often to offer up things that he hates

💥🪨 You pop up remembering one of for favorite parts of a good ole fashioned treat yo self day. The cute headbands for you and Kiri to push your hair out of your faces. You return with a pink bunny one, a brown Teddy Bear one, and a plain black headband. Baku takes the black and Kiri takes the bunny.

💥🪨 “How do I look, Peb?” Kiri smirks flexing to show his broad ass built ass frame after putting on his bunny headband. “Ridiculous.” “-ly Hawt!” You laugh correcting Baku

💥🪨 You film in absolute awe as your Manly bf’s pierce Suki’s ear with ease after the off handed joke you made sipping tea. Cue Baku voguing it up with pride and a freshly pierced ear. Bakugou is slightly leaner and a couple inches shorter but just as toned

💥🪨 “Suki, Eiji, you are too manly!” You hype your man up as you post the video to your IG story

💥🪨 It’s your turn now!! Kiri easily pierces your ears with a red stud in your right and an orange in your left. Adding a second set of holes right above your first ones

💥🪨 Next comes high quality and novelty animal face masks Bakugou buys online to compliment his vigorous skin care routine. It rivals half of the YouTube Beauty community’s

💥🪨 Niether of you have any idea of where he buys them or where he hides them for that matter. He stores them away so you guys can’t steal them when he’s not around. Bakugou allows you and Kiri to use his masks on special occasions tho

💥🪨 “Mr. and Mrs. Dumbass.” He smirks handing you a frog and Kiri a tiger. Earning him a playful jab from you and “A Thanks, Babe.” from the red head

💥🪨 You suggest nail 💅🏾 polish next and Kiri is automatically on board. “Oooooo can you make them Red, Babygirl? Because they’d be so manly!” Kiri beams bouncing up and down. Baku will only allow his middle fingers painted. “I want white with bombs or just F U. Whichever is easier for you, Teddy Bear.” Bakugou nods scrunching up his nose from behind his own red panda face mask.

💥🪨 Kirishima’s nails are a simple sparkly red that say 🤍BITE MANLY in white while Bakugou’s middle fingers are white with black bombs with an orange F U on each one respectively

💥🪨 After you peel off your masks, you and Kirishima squeal in nearly perfect sync “Oooooooooooo! Sooooo Soft! Aren’t we hawt, Bakubro! Seeeeeeeeeee!” Both of you placing his hand on your faces

💥🪨Bakugou will just roll his red eyes into the back of his head as you two wrap him in a tight embrace “I’ve told you idiots a thousand times the importance of regular skin care with quality products.” He shrugs nonchalantly even thought he loves when you two are touchie with him. He hates to admit it

💥🪨 As you begin to search you nail kit for your preferred color, Kiri grabs your hand and presses it to his cheek “Can we do yours, Pebble?” He pouts. Bakugou follows suit grabbing your other hand “Pretty please, Teddy?” He whines firmly pressing your hand to his heart.

💥🪨 You buckle so fast it’s not even funny. “Bbbbbbbut...😤😖😞fine.” You concede

💥🪨These two really know how to put on the charm. Especially if Bakugou Kasuki is calling you Teddy instead of Dumbass.

💥🪨 “Great! Y/n, pick out a show to watch before we start.” Baku barks handing you the remote. “Why?” You question snatching it and putting on Criminal Minds. Simply thrilled you were getting to pick (Typically there were mini competitions for such a privilege)

💥🪨 “You’re judging, Bighead. You can’t look til we’re done.” Kiri hums thoughtfully trying to pick a good color combination. Baku already had his colors hidden in his lap before scouting so his hip was against yours sure to obscure your view of your own hand from you.

💥🪨 “Yea, no bias. When I win it’ll because I’m the best! Isn’t that right, Shitty Hair!” The ash blonde smiles cockily at the red head across from him. “In your fucking dreams, Spark plug!” Kiri spits backs just taking all the colors and copying Bakugou’s positioning

💥🪨 “If either of you fuckers, get those polishes on my favorite jeans there’ll be hell to pay.” You warn with a sinister tone to rival even Katsuki’s and the widest smile. The boys shiver at the seriousness behind your smile. Your threat is far from empty

💥🪨 You pretty much figured your nails would probably look terrible with each of your vividly different boyfriends competing with each other. “What do you, dorks, even get for winning?” You muse leaning into Kiri’s broad ass shoulder

💥🪨 “The next date plans and solo cuddles with Teddy Bear for the rest of the night seems fair to me. Huh, Eijirou?” Baku looks up from his work with a self assured grin blowing one of your nails. Vermilion irises float from you to Kiri.

💥🪨 Knowing damn well niether of them could keep you their hands off you. “Deal.” Kiri nods without giving Baku the satisfaction of meeting his gaze.

💥🪨 “Oh and I get shitly painted nails.” You sigh rolling your eyes. You’d be lying if you didn’t find it kinda hawt when they got like this

💥🪨 “There.” Halfway through the 2nd episode Kiri says and finally caps his last polish. Blowing gently across the surface of your nails.

💥🪨 By this time Baku has placed your arm on his lower back and his head in your lap. A firm grip on your wrist so you couldn’t checkout his work until Kiri finished. Your fingers make light circles there despite being held hostage. “Bout time, slow poke.” Baku huffs releasing your arm as you brought both hands side by side.

💥🪨 They had somehow managed to pick colors that didn’t totally clash. Kiri’s hand were mix match rose gold and pink with the teeniest (not to mention even) little white hearts in the middle of each nail.

💥🪨 Baku’s hand was very simple and clean. Black French tips with one red to orange nail with a black X on top as an accent.

💥🪨 You weren’t expecting anything this good. You could barely speak. You hadn’t been this lost for words since they had asked you out. You sniffle a lil bit. Your eyes glass up a little too.

💥🪨 God your partners are so great sometimes. The fact that they genuinely gave a fuck still manages to catch you off guard at times. After so many terrible relationships, effort, in and of itself, is kinda baffling

💥🪨 “Damn Pebs, it’s not that bad if you squint.” Kiri laughs nervously squeezing your shoulders. “Woah there, Teddy Bear, I’ll get the remover.” Baku stands ruffling your curls before you grab his wrist stopping him in his tracks.

💥🪨 “Suki. Eiji. Don’t be mad but I can’t pick! You guys both did really good! Fuck! I couldn’t ask for better lovers. You assholes are so much better than I deserve!” You gush before hiding your face in your hands. A little ashamed you let your boyfriends doing something as simple as your nails make you emotional.

💥🪨 “But Baby you deserve the world.” Kirishima immediately scoops you into a bear hug as he stands spinning you with ease and peppering you in kisses. Kiri places you back down even more gently than picked you up

💥🪨 “Princess, you’re a bad bitch! Don’t you dare forget it!” The shorter ash blonde says unwaveringly lifting your chin so you’d meet his eyes. He softly bops your forehead before kissing it and both cheeks. He pulls you close right as he yanks you up to straddle his waist

💥🪨 “Eijirou, I think our Babygirl needs a reminder of who she is and who she’s with.” His already deep ruby eyes darken lustfully. With no hesitation Kiri is right behind you in seconds

💥🪨 “I know just thing to jog our Pebble’s memory, Katsuki.” He whispers licking the side of your neck just as moves to capture Katsuki’s lips with his own

💥🪨 “Promise?” You moan softly lacing fingers into Kiri’s loose kitchens and trailing a cool hand across Baku’s abdomen stopping only at his joggers waist band

💥🪨 With that the three head to the bed room for some much needed group physical therapy

[peterthepark]

being steve harrington’s girlfriend:

this is ALL tooth-rotting fluff. u can send in requests for more stuff like this!

steve is the best boyfriend you could ask for

i literally MEAN THIS WITH MY WHOLE HEART

this boy loves you. he loves so hard, so wholeheartedly

he cannot find a single flaw in the person he’s in love with: you.

cuddles. a lot of them. especially when it’s been a long day for steve from work and you from college.

he just loves being in your arms and the intimacy that comes with laying in silence together.

playing with his hair. (oh gosh he’ll never admit it but he absolutely LOVES when you run your fingers through his hair)

he’ll tease you about messing up his perfected hair but he secretly wants you to keep going

shopping together. steve’s the boyfriend who will hold all the stuff you’ve bought, be a dork and put on some clothes too, join you in the fitting room (sometimes not only to fit clothes but)

food. you and steve love food

who doesn’t love food

steve loves to try new food with you

that new restaurant down the street? yeah, he’ll only try it out first with you

driving around in his car. you love these moments. steve’s blasting music and the both of you are singing your hearts out and are probably going to lose your voices but it’s so fun

sometimes you’ll have a little dance party and steve is always in awe of how beautiful you are when you’re smiling

which leads me to steve always looking at you

he’s such a lucky guy and he reminds himself everyday of how lucky he is to have someone like you

yes, you’re gorgeous but he adores your personality and how different yet similar you are to him

you’re both dorks with great senses of humor

KISSING KISSING KISSING. steve can’t tear his lips away from you

as much as he loves kissing your lips, he loves kissing your shoulder??? cute little pecks from him every so often

making out. again, can’t keep his lips off you

he’ll even pull over in his car to kiss you when your favorite love song comes on

sometimes the make out sessions are so passionate, steve literally forgets how to breathe afterwards

arguments. every couple has them. but your’s and steve’s are so DUMB and are all about DUMB things

like what ice cream flavor is better or who knows the most trivia about some stupid TV show (but you always make up and make out)

sEx. steve, even in bed, is a clumsy idiot

yes, he’s attractive and breathtakingly amazing but this boy is CLUMSY

he’s given you and himself concussions

he always bumps his forehead into yours

he TRIES to be sexy when he’s taking his shirt off

but it gets STUCK and you’re dying as he struggles

he makes up for it in the end

now you know why people called him king steve

“ i love you.” it’s the one phrase steve never forgets to say. anytime. he’ll say it

you aced an exam? you won a board game? you make a funny joke? i love you. it’s always there. he always says it

nicknames. steve loves when you call him bubs or bubba. it’s his thing

when you’re feeling playful, you call him scoops. (he says he hates this one but he, again, secretly loves it)

names such as baby, babe, babeS, and my love are all reserved for the bedroom

dustin loves to tease steve for calling you “sweets”

steve never knows when to SHUT UP about you. dustin knows. mike knows. robin knows. but they all think it’s cute

did i mention he loves singing to you

like his voice may be not entirely that great but he serenades so many love songs to you

steve has to see you A LOT

like he can’t function unless he doesn’t see you in person

dustin has experienced this firsthand when you went off on a family vacation to italy

steve was dying. this literal MAN became a baby in seconds

dustin even thinks he saw him cry

knowing steve, he probably did cry

steve loves you

that’s it

he really loves you

[windup-dragoon]

I wanna hear more on the kind of parents Kiri and her princely husband would be 👀 -slides back into the Lurking Abyss-

AAAAAAAAA Thank you for humoring me. ;;;; This is actually one of my favorite topics between these dorks??? Because family stuff melts my rotten little heart. ;u; Yo this is going to be hella long though so sorry about that. 

The News: 

Childbearing definitely was never big on Kiri’s to-do list in life. Always busy running off into danger and going on adventures, who has time to raise kids? The thought of being a mother in any aspect never really crossed her mind, besides maybe adopting stray animals and affectionately referring to them as her children. 

But with Hien in her life, her thoughts on this change. Seeing Hien interact with the kids that she helped in Revenant’s Toll, the way he spoke and laughed with them ends up melting a bit of her heart. He has such a way with children, even newborns around Doma when he’s out having social hours with his countrymen and women. Eventually Kiri surprises Hien by telling him she wants to have kids. With him. All of the negatives she used to see in having children become just another challenge for her to overcome, with Hien at her side, she can do anything. 

It isn’t until after their official marriage that they finally achieve this goal. Kiri, while in Eorzea doing whatever it is she does, has stomach troubles and is a little alarmed by everything that’s happening. She doesn’t typically get sick, unless she’s in Ishgard for extended weeks in which she will develop a terrible cold, so these symptoms have her visiting healers of any sort or maybe even reaching out to friends for advice. 

When she’s given the official news, she’s immediately stunned. Of course she’s aware of how children are made and all that jazz, but it didn’t occur to her that it would be so sudden. Kind of an ‘oh that’s right, that’s something that we did’ moment. At first she’s too shocked to say anything, or even move; the nurse who delivered the news worries Kiri wasn’t expecting to be pregnant. But it isn’t that the news is bad. Her mind is racing, her heart pounding while her stomach continues to feel queasy. After the initial shock, Kiri fully accepts her condition with a big, goofy ass grin. 

She returns to Doma to tell Hien the news as immediately as she can, after of course settling whatever task she was in the middle of accomplishing in Eorzea. All of Doma is gathered for a festival when she returns, one that runs late into the night with fireworks shot off from the Dairyu Moon Gates and over the One River. It’s here that she tells Hien. She pulls him away from his merriment of drinking with friends and socializing, in between loud bursts of colored fire over head; Kiri tells him he’s going to be a father. 

Pregnancy: 

They’re both new to this whole situation. Neither really having much experience besides common sense and what they’ve been told by those who know about the pregnancy. Hien and Kiri decide to keep it quiet for the time being, the only ones outside of caretakers and themselves are the Scions who Kiri felt she had to tell immediately and some of their Eorzean friends who would otherwise try to recruit Kiri for more shenanigans. Hien is very affectionate during this time, never too far from Kiri if he can help it or enlists Yugiri and Az’hala to help keep tabs on his adventuring wife should he be called away to the Alliance or any of his other responsibilities. 

At night they stay up and talk things over, to help calm each others nerves or any fears they might have as time passes. Kiri is relatively relaxed throughout the whole pregnancy, although she does have moments where she wishes Lynawyb could be with her. She wonders if Lynawyb would have been excited to be a grandmother, Eyriwolk would have made a fantastic grandpa. During these times, Hien also makes mention that he too wishes Mina and Kaien could be with them. And don’t you dare for a moment think they don’t try to send word to Gosetsu. Gosetsu is more apart of their family than anyone knows. 

Hien often speaks to Kiri’s tummy, even in the earliest stages when she hasn’t even begun to show. She finds it amusing and usually wakes up to him speaking in Doman to her tummy. She quickly begins to recognize certain phrases like good morning. 

When they finally announce it to all of Doma, mainly due to Kiri beginning to show signs, it’s a huge celebration. Their friends from Eorzea are invited to attend the festivities, even members of the Alliance are extended an invite. 

After many requests from Sadu to come visit, Kiri and Hien eventually travel out to the Steppes. Sadu, believing she’ll get to fight with Kiri, is dumbstruck when she realizes what’s up. But instead of throwing a tantrum or getting upset, Sadu is very supportive of Kiri and asks that she visits more so she can help. Kiri briefly wonders who Sadu thinks her child will be the reincarnation of. Magnai dismisses the entire interaction as boring, pretty typical of Magnai, while Cirina, much like Sadu, is excited and supportive. Both Sadu and Cirina offer medicines and herbal teas for Kiri to try that their tribes often use themselves. 

It’s Time!: 

As it draws closer to her delivery date, Hien is an absolute wreck. Nervous beyond belief and struggling to keep Kiri in one place. But she’s just as antsy as he is and tires of sitting in bed all day. Some of the elders encourage Kiri to walk around, but she ends up wandering. Yugiri and Az’hala both stick to her like flies, not so much worried about Kiri as they are with Hien. The poor guy. But again, they’re both new to this and have no idea what to expect next. 

I haven’t decided where Kiri ends up giving birth to Hanami. I thought it’d be funny if she was visiting the Steppes when it happened, Sadu’s tribe and Cirina both helping while Hien tries not to pass out. Magnai scoffs but he would probably faint too. 

Actually being parents: 

Now that Hana is born and all of Doma is buzzing with excitement, both Kiri and Hien are over the moon with happiness. They both share the burdens of waking up in the middle of the night to hold a crying Hana, never asking the servants to do it instead. They’re both completely in love with this little bundle. Without question, it’s a tiresome job, but Kiri is rarely without a warm smile these days and Hien is always beaming from ear to ear. He’s very proud of what they created together. 

When Hana gets older, Hien takes to telling her stories at night. He uses funny voices and puts on a whole drama for his daughter who claps and giggles in response. Kiri and Hana spend a lot of time together outside, usually occupying the garden, feeding any ducks or koi in the pond and watching the blossoms open and fall in the breeze. As a mother, Kiri is very soft and tender to Hana, some of her Eorzean friends might not even recognize her. The gruff, accented voice she once had has kind of fallen away, but her laughter remains the same. And her love of jokes. 

If Hien leaves for an Alliance meeting, upon return Hana is always the first to greet him. It starts off as little sandals clapping against the stone, then a little giggling girl jumps at her father. Hien drops everything just to scoop her up in his arms and raise her up high. She’ll ask if he brought her back anything, namely sweets, and of course he does. While Kiri remains in contact with her Eorzean friends and allies, Scions included, she doesn’t partake in adventures quite as frequently as she used to. She stays with Hana and Hien in Doma; and when Hana is a non-stop talking toddler, Kiri and Hien are expecting again. 

Hana and Hien frequently speak in Doman to one another, even in Kiri’s presence just to tease her. 

Occasionally Kiri will take Hana to Eorzea with Isho as their escort; Hana quickly falls in love with traveling and wants to explore the world just as Kiri does. Hana loves meeting with Tataru and Krile, having tea together and gossiping. While in Isghard, Hana and Count Edmont talk for hours over more tea and hard little biscuits. Kiri has always explained to Hana that although her friends are not related by blood, every one of them feel like family to her and she hopes Hana will experience the joys of having such an extensive family. 

Kiri and Hien end up having four kids in total. Hanami is the oldest and only daughter. (Unless I change my mind :V) 

Thancred, Urianger, and Y’shtola have bets on how many children Kiri and Hien will have. So far Y’shtola is winning. Urianger secretly wonders if Hien and Kiri are trying to create an army. Ryne would absolutely love to meet Hanami some day! Alphinaud and Alisaie are still in shock that Kiri even had children to begin with, but also treat Hanami as another part of their little family.

Promptio on Ice Part 18

Ignoct’s First Date

So yeah, back by popular demand, more of Ignis and Noctis being absolute dorks, now in public! @goramidiot and @fandolover Thanks for these prompts, I tried to incorporate your ideas as much as possible ;) 

Noct thinks a lot about Iggy’s ass under the cut!  v v v

- Every time Prompto steps foot in Noct’s place, he feels overwhelmed. It’s less an apartment and more of a penthouse, located on the forty-seventh floor of the Caelum Residences (owned by his father, of course) and overlooking the bustle of the city. His bedroom alone is larger than Prompto’s entire apartment. Too big even with the three of them in it - Gladio lounging on the king-sized bed, Noctis standing in front of the mirror, and Prompto digging through his (well-stocked) closet for something to wear on his date with Ignis.

- “Are you even sure it’s really a date?” Gladio jokes from behind the pages of a hockey magazine he found on Noct’s shelf. His dark-haired friend shoots him a glare.

- “Well, yeah. I mean, obviously.” Noct tugs off the shirt he’s wearing and tosses it into the rapidly growing discard pile behind him. “Like, he gave me his number and everything.”

- “Your dad got his number for you when he was drunk,” Gladio retorts. “Maybe Iggy’s just being nice ‘cause he feels sorry for you.”

- “Aww, don’t be mean, Gladdy, Noct’s super nervous already,” Prompto says as he reemerges from the closet with an armful of new outfits. Noct shoots him a glare, too.

- “Am not! I’m just…. I want it to be perfect. I want him to really like me.”

- Gladio flashes Prompto a secret grin, and the blonde barely manages to contain himself as he pats Noctis on the back and hands him a suit jacket. “You’re hard not to like, buddy. Just smile a lot and he won’t be able to resist.” Falling quiet in thought for a moment, Noct shrugs on the jacket and adjusts it in the front. He turns, checks the side view, the back, musses his hair and practices his smile.

- “Hey, Specs,” he says, then straightens his posture and tries again. “Hi, Iggy. Um. Ignis.”

- “Iggy is better.”

- “Hey, Iggy. You look….really nice this evening.”

- “Tell him you like his ass,” Gladio chips in without looking up.

- “How the hell did you ever manage to get a date?” Noct says, glaring again.

- “I told Prom I like his ass.”

- Prompto snorts. “I probably would have slept with you faster if you had.” He turns back to Noct, who’s rolling his eyes hard enough to make Ignis proud. “Gladio’s got a point, though. Be honest, guys love that.”

- “Is Iggy really the kind of guy who wants to be checked out?” Noct’s voice is flat, disbelieving. Something tells him that too much honesty might just earn him a one-way ticket to ForeverAloneVillle. Like, for instance, if Iggy knew how many times Noct had jacked off to the thought of that sharp tongue massaging his balls, or how that lean body would look arching off the mattress, he would probably label him a pervert and never speak to him again.

- Apparently, Gladio disagrees. “How should we know what he’s into? Maybe he’s one of those dirty librarian types, y’know? Frigid on the outside, but a firecracker in the bedroom.”

- “So…,” Noct says, turning to him while Prom finishes styling his hair. “You’re saying there’s a chance?”

- “I’m saying you should go prepared. Never hurts.”

- At his side, Prompto offers a grin. “Yeah. Maybe you’ll get lucky, buddy.”

- Maybe in my dreams, Noct thinks to himself. With more confidence, he says, “Guess it’s worth a shot.”

- Ignis is already waiting for him when he arrives at the theater. Until now, Noct has only ever seen Ignis in two modes: his gym attire, or the formal suit he wore to the Gala. Tonight, then, is the first time Ignis has ever looked relaxed - underneath his dark coat, he’s wearing a light-colored buttonup and grey trousers. Combined with a pair of bright red sneakers, Iggy’s balancing a fine line between classy and casual. Noct simply thinks he looks stunning.

- “Ah, perfect timing.” Ignis smiles when he notices Noctis approaching. He steps back from the movie poster he’s been admiring to give his date the once-over. “You look nice this evening.”

- Shit, that was my line! Now he’s gotta think fast. “Hey, Specs. U-um, Iggy. Thanks, you look...hot. GREAT. You look great!” Shit, shit shit!

- An indulgent smile. “Hope you don’t mind, but I’ve already purchased our tickets.” Ignis withdrew two slips from his shirt pocket and handed one to Noct. It was surprisingly warm between his fingers. “Prompto told me you’re a fan of the Hunters’ Creed series, so I thought you might like to see the newest film.”

- “Yeah, definitely!” Forget the fact that Noct had already seen it (three times, actually, two of which had been with Prom), it was still easily one of his favorites. And knowing the ending would give him more time to focus his attention on Iggy - which was, in all honesty, probably Prompto’s plan anyway.

- But as they walk together into the theater (deciding that yes, one shared popcorn between them will be just fine), Noct has forgotten one crucial piece of information about the movie. It isn’t until they’re in their seats, smiling and laughing as they pass the popcorn between them, that he notices all the other young couples sitting around them. And then he remembers. And he curses Prompto because now he understands the real reason he suggested this show - the sex scene.

- It’s steamy, controversially so, and while Noct all but tuned it out the first three times (he was far more interested in the plot, thank you very much), he knows that will be impossible with Ignis sitting right next to him, completely unaware. So as the movie starts and the lights dim, he clutches the popcorn in his lap and swallows hard.

- “Y-y’know, Igs,” he starts in a hushed tone. “If there’s another movie you’d rather see….”

- But Ignis doesn’t hear him. The theme music is playing, and the scene opens with a car chase. By the looks of things, Iggy is already engrossed in the action - while Noct can only sink further in his seat and plot out how he’s going to get Prompto back for this.

- The movie moves fast, every bit the edge-of-your-seat blockbuster the posters promised, and halfway through even Noct can’t help but get into it. The Hunter confronts the demon overlord, he’s got him on the ropes, and Noct is so excited the bucket of popcorn is shaking in his lap. When the overlord transforms into a beast, Noct (even though he knew it was coming) nearly jumps out of his seat. Quick thinking by Ignis keeps the popcorn from flying all over the theater - but now it means his hand is positioned right between Noct’s legs just as That Scene starts up.

- There’s no preamble. Iggy lets out an audible gasp, and Noct feels his face heat up about a hundred degrees. It’s noisy, it’s wild, it’s why small children were banned from the screening. All around them in the theater, couples are exchanging heated looks.

- Iggy’s hand twitches in the popcorn, his wrist edging closer to Noct’s thigh.

- Noct is torn between wanting to run out of the room or climb into Ignis’ lap.

- When he forces himself to glance over, Ignis isn’t watching him, but rather staring at the blatant pornography on the screen with his eyes wide. Every time the woman on screen moans, his throat bobs a little and Noctis feels like he could ruin the inside of his jeans on the spot. Feeling bold (and too turned on to think better of it), Noctis rocks up every so slightly with his hips, rubbing against the tempting friction of Iggy’s wrist and startling the man right out of his trance. Ignis gasps, retracts his hand on instinct, and in the process knocks the popcorn onto the floor with a loud thunk.

- The rest of the theater turns to glare at them. But neither of them care. Laughing off their embarrassment, they drop to the floor and work together to scoop up the spill. The scene is over long before they settle back in their seats, and they enjoy the rest of the movie with their sticky fingers brushing together atop the armrest.

- “Well, what did you think?” Noct asks as they step outside into the cold evening air. It’s snowing again, and Ignis has his arm around Noctis’ shoulders in lieu of him wearing a proper coat.

- “Hm. Not terrible, but perhaps not worth ‘two thumbs way up.’ I’d give it a thumb and a half.”

- Noct snorts - snorts! - and turns a little closer against Iggy’s side. “Harsh critic. I’d love to know what kind of movies make it to the top of your list.”

- “The classics, mostly. I could show you, if you’d like.” He stops walking, bringing them to a halt just outside the parking garage. Green eyes go soft behind his lenses. “After all, the night is still young. And I did promise you dinner.”

- Dinner...at Iggy’s place?! Noct had been expecting a restaurant, maybe someplace with fancy wines and too many other people. He would have managed for the sake of his date, of course, but if he was hearing this correctly…. “You mean, at your place? Just the two of us?”

- Gods, why does his voice choose the worst times to crack?!

- Ignis merely smiles, almost as if he finds it...endearing? “If you’d like, yes. Not to brag, but I’ve been known to make a wicked stir-fry.”

- Stir-fry. That sounds like it has vegetables in it. Noct weighs the pros and cons - Con: a meal that isn’t deep fried and covered in cheese. Pro: The chance to spend more time with Specs. He finds that it isn’t a difficult choice at all.

- “I’m in,” he grins, and Ignis squeezes his shoulder. “Where’d you park I’ll follow you.”

- “Oh, I came by bus,” he admits. “Never saw the point in owning a vehicle in this city, not with such a convenient public transportation system.”

- Somehow, Noctis manages not to laugh. Ignis is a total hippie, and yeah, it’s cute, but now he’s terrified his dinner is going to be full of healthy, organic things. “We can take my car again,” he says, practically dragging Ignis after him into the parking lot, completely oblivious to the look of terror painted on his date’s face.

- They make it in one piece. Again, Iggy is convinced it’s a miracle, and decides a glass of wine each is the only way to ease the tension of the ride out of his shoulders. Leading Noctis into the kitchen, he directs him to a stool at the island counter and fishes out two glasses from the cabinet.

- “Nice place you got here,” Noct comments as his eyes scan the pristine room. A large dark sofa on a white rug in the living room, bookshelves lining the wall in place of a television, some exercise equipment neatly folded in the corner. It looks like something straight out of an interior design catalog. “Really clean.”

- “Yes, well. I’m not home that often, between my own lessons at the gym and coaching Prompto. Mostly to cook and to sleep - the bedroom is quite a mess, I’m afraid.”

- Please show me. Noct clears his throat. “I’m sure it isn’t that bad.”

- The challenge is palpable. Ignis watches him closely as he fills each glass with chardonnay, something tugging at the corners of his mouth - but whatever he’s thinking he keeps to himself. “Dinner will be just a moment. If you need the powder room, it’s around the corner.” And then he’s tugging on an apron and setting ingredients (as Noct feared, mostly veggies) out in preparation. While he cooks, they chat about nothing in particular - Prompto’s upcoming schedule, the kinds of classes Iggy teaches during the week (youth athletics for the most part), and Noct’s hobbies which include video games, comic books, and long naps.

- By the time they’ve both polished off their wine, the stir-fry is almost ready and Ignis is back in front of Noctis to set out the dishes.

- “Hey, Iggy, can I ask you something?”

- He smiles. “Of course, anything.”

- Deep breath. You can do this. “Are you seeing anyone?”

- Ignis stops. Above the counter, a plate hovers in mid-air where his hand has frozen in place, and his eyes are locked on Noct, curious, questioning. It’s not the reaction Noct was hoping for and he immediately stumbles for a recovery.

- “Sorry, that was dumb, forget it, um, what I meant was -- “

- “It depends.” Over his glasses his eyes are intense. Noct squirms in his seat, his heart racing.

- “O-on?”

- “Whether you’re interested or not.”

- Floored. No other word can describe the way Noct’s breath suddenly leaves him gaping and gasping with his knuckles white around the edge of the counter. For his part, Ignis interprets the stunned silence as he pleases, and goes back to serving up dinner as if nothing had happened. The steaming food (yes, vegetables and all) in front of Noct is a welcome distraction, and he stuffs the first forkful into his mouth as if it could prevent him from saying anything worse.

- Luckily for him, Ignis is an amazing cook. The first bite has him forgetting all about his embarrassment, and he digs in with enough gusto to make the front page of the tabloids - ‘Picky Caelum Son Eats Broccoli and Enjoys it!’

- His enthusiasm earns a chuckle from the seat to his right. “I’m flattered you enjoy the meal, Noct, but please remember to chew properly.”

- “Mff fhfmm.” He pauses, swallows noisily, and tries again. “You’re perfect!”

- He means to say ‘it’s’ - really, he does. His words are apparently intent on betraying him at every turn tonight, but this time the damage is done too quickly to take it back.

- Ignis blinks. Lays down his fork. Picks up a napkin and politely dabs at his mouth. Meanwhile, Noct’s heart thuds in his chest and he reaches for his (second) glass of wine. Knocks it back in one swift move. Then they’re both moving.

- Iggy’s lips are as warm and soft as Noct had imagined. Better, even, as they slide over his own in a kiss they both feel was long overdue. One or both of them surges forward, Noct’s hands tugging at Iggy’s shirt while deft fingers card through his black hair. They’re both breathless, but neither knows how to stop now that they’ve finally opened the floodgates.

- Eventually, cheeks a healthy pink, Ignis draws back just far enough to slip off his glasses. They’d been bumped askew on his nose, and are probably smudged up something fierce, yet Noct doesn’t have the presence of mind to apologize. On the contrary, he finds himself unable to look away from the powerful pull of Iggy’s unveiled eyes, piercing and beautiful and perfect and if he let’s out a little whine in his desperation, well, who can blame him?

- Those eyes soften in a smile. “Noctis. I hope I’m not being too forward, but would you like to -- “

- “I brought condoms.”

- “Oh, thank the gods.”

- When he tugs Noctis up (meals abandoned for now), the younger man goes more than willingly. Backwards, he steers them both down the hall, alternating between heated kisses and pausing to strip off another layer of unnecessary clothing between them. It’s hard, of course, with the way Noct’s arms are wrapped so tightly around him, or the way his hips are grinding against his thigh, but Ignis has always been good at multitasking. Noct doesn’t even bother to comment on the unsurprising tidiness of Iggy’s bedroom - he’s too focused on the bed itself, and on getting both of them naked and in it.

- They stop for a moment when Iggy’s calves hit the mattress. Green eyes meet dark blues and there’s a question there.  Noct swallows. Gasps when Ignis reaches down to palm him through the front of his boxers. “Y-you…want me to…?”

- “I do.”

- “Okay.”

- He watches in awe as Ignis strips off the last of his clothing and lays back onto the bed. His long legs fall open, he smiles and beckons Noctis to join him.

- Noct, for all his effort to restrain himself that evening, literally pounces at the invitation.

[Bonus]

- Then entire apartment is quiet when Noct wakes up sometime later to the blinking of his phone screen on the floor. He groans inwardly, tries to ignore it and curl up deeper in Iggy’s arms, but the little blue light is damn persistent. Reluctantly, he disentangles himself from Spec’s still-sleeping form and scoops the phone up as fast as he can.

- There are over twenty unread texts, most of which are from Prompto (surprise, surprise) but also a few from Gladio, too. As he settles back under the sheets, he checks the ones from Prom first. Lots of ‘How’s it going, buddy?!?! Enjoy the moooovie??’ and enough emojis to make a teenage girl’s eyes burn.

- Noct smirks and replies with a simple thumbs up and a wink.

- Gladio’s messages are less predictible. He sent several texts to check in, to make sure Noct was safe and made it home (either his own or Iggy’s in one piece). He also mentioned leaving something special in Noct’s wallet. Which, Noct recalls, is in his jacket which is still somewhere in Ignis’ hallway. Whatever the surprise is, it’ll have to wait until morning.

- Noct chucks his phone to the foot of the bed, yawns, and snuggles up once again in now-familiar arms.

- In the morning, while Iggy whips up some eggs and toast and hums to himself, Noct comes out of the shower feeling incredibly refreshed. He greets Ignis with a grin and a kiss (well, a few kisses, actually, until Iggy has to shoo him away lest the eggs burn). His jacket has thoughtfully been laid out across the back of the sofa, and he digs around in his pockets for his wallet, curious but also worried about whatever he’s going to find inside.

- Surprisingly, it isn’t anything incriminating. Just a folded piece of paper, with a message scribbled on it in Gladio’s messy handwriting. ‘Don’t forget to be honest’ it reads - and Noct can’t help but laugh out loud.

- “What is it?” Ignis leans over the island counter, a plate of breakfast in one hand and a carton of orange juice in the other. Noct smiles and carries the note over to him.

- “Just a little advice for our date last night.”

- “Oh? Well, I’d say things went swimmingly even without it. But out of curiosity….”

- “I think Gladio wants me to tell you how much I like your ass.”

- Iggy smirks and, without missing a beat, says, “I hope you don’t mind me holding it against you.”

- Yeah. Noct is most definitely in love.

tw self harm below - 2nd childhood hc

TWO FACTS.

-          After Jackie left her ex behind – that very night, she found herself at the train station of Chiba with merely a duffel bag of her few belongings, and a small envelope of cash to her name. Saved up over the course of her last few jobs, it was merely enough for her to get by for a few months if she managed to use it sparingly. She was on the last trip out to Tokyo that evening, and spent her first few weeks lodged with an old Yakuza friend that’d taken her in. In exchange for shelter, she acted as a courier for him – delivering files and packages all across the city for him whilst undercover. That’s one of the reasons she’s rather knowledgeable of Tokyo’s back alleys and black markets, for she’d plied through most of it on an almost daily basis for at least three months. In terms of her career, she’d gotten in touch with one of her old DJ friends who’d she’d been rather close to before disappearing off the face of the map. Despite the fact that he wasn’t exactly told where she’d been off to in the past year – for she’d very rarely kept in touch – he didn’t ask her enough questions that she couldn’t answer. He lent her his music equipment, and helped her get back into the club scene. Nowadays he’s off touring the world, having made her promise before he left that she would soon follow – so they might one day perform together on a festival stage. His name was Theodore LeBlanc and he was an einjerhar too. In particular, he was Tutchie - Jazzele’s duet partner. 

-          Jackie would admittedly end up having one night stands every few months with random guys she’d meet at clubs or events. Though she was still rather picky with who she ended up with – has had maybe between only six to eight incidents like this – no matter how hungover she was the next morning, she’d always be the first one out the door before the guy even woke up. Needless to say she’s had to take the walk of shame quite a few times, but she’s never once called one of them back – despite a few of their attempts to contact her. If she saw any of them back at an event she was currently playing at, she’d skootch out the door faster than any of them could see her. Or if they did manage to see her, she’d run off, have her friends cause a diversion and would usually end up hiding behind the bar waiting for them to leave. To everyone else, it was amusing. To her – she was just comforted by the fact that the bartender kept passing her drinks to get over it.

THREE CHILDHOOD HCS.

-          Jackie’s French linguistic skills – though she hardly uses it – was mostly taught to her by her father. She’s a daddy’s girl tbh. As a child, he would read her French books and sing her lullabies to sleep so as to chase away her nightmares – the only thing that could calm her down after some particularly frightening ones that sometimes would still reoccur until today. When they get really bad, she’ll sometimes call her father to have him sing it to her, if only so she can calm down. She would mostly only use the language when she would be speaking to her father and her grandparents whenever they’d arrive fromFrance. Other than that – she’s never really used it – keeping her linguistic skills to merely conversational French, and not much beyond that. As for today, she’s rather shy about using it to talk to most people, as she’s somewhat afraid her intonations may come off sounding wrong. If she ever manages to sing you a French lullaby though, it means you’re someone sincerely special to her and she trusts you completely.

-          Jackie first started using self-harm as a control method to her emotions when she was only around 11 years old. She was a pretty sensitive kid, one that took any and all critique against her rather seriously – that when she couldn’t handle her seemingly endless failures, she would break down in tears of frustration and sadness, self-hate gradually building up within her until she was absolutely disgusted with herself as a whole. Knowing that she would only ever come across to people as a burden that way, as a child that was more annoying than anything – she took matters into her own hands. Literally. Digging her nails into her skin had proven to be the method in which she could keep most of her emotions steady. Physical pain had become her friend, something she found she could deal with better than any emotional ache. Though she’d never found the courage to go beyond that, she made sure the marks were always hidden – under sleeves, along the inside of her palms, by her thighs when things got really, really bad. At times she would draw blood. Those were the times that she’d grow scared of herself. She’d literally used herself as a stress ball to deal with her anger – and though the habit hasn’t stuck, sometimes she’ll still fall back into that when she’s out of means in which to handle it on her own. That’s why she keeps her nails long. And that’s also why nowadays, she’d rather opt to punch people in the face then take it out on herself.

-          Jackie had a habit for wanting to try out everything when she was a kid – with or without prior permission from her parents. This ranged from extracurricular activities – to food. Though her parents would tell you it was the food bit that was the most frustrating. Whether it was chocolate or candy or the last cookie in the jar – no matter how high up or where you hid it – you could be certain she’d find her way towards it. The first time her parents brought her to a Japanese restaurant around 5 years old, they’d grown distracted by the menu and left the little one to mess around with the stuff on the table. The condiments had already been placed down in front of them, and Jackie – always ever curious, saw the big lump of green stuff sitting on a plate just out of reach. Sneaky little girl that she was, she grabbed for it – thinking it was ice cream. With a large scoop of her spoon later, it was in her mouth before her parents could notice she’d sneaked it away. One could say she’d been rather proud of herself. For like – two seconds. Because right after that she was freaking out and kind of gasping and waving her arms around crying for a glass of water. That day – she learned not to touch random things without asking. That day she also learned to have a complete hatred for wasabi. You couldn’t get her to touch the damn thing if you tried.

THREE UNUSED ICONS.

FIVE SHIPS. not necessarily romantic ships

Roppi // @bathed-in-red – brother figure, actual hitman – also all around dork when he’s with Jackie. Their friendship is built on a sense of home and friendship that they probably wouldn’t be able to explain to you if you so much as asked. In a way, they always just kind of – clicked, without meaning to. Fiercely protective, they also know how to handle each other should they go into a psychotic episode – Jackie for the influx of power from her abilities and Roppi for his random states of madness. However, they also run the highest risk of murdering each other without meaning to. Roppi almost did. However – if you were to ask her who she trusted the most, he would still be the first name on her tongue. Also he gave her that cat she has. 

Kai // @gloryundimmed - currently her major love interest, Kai honestly just effortlessly stole her heart without even trying. Admittedly, Jackie has had a crush on him since forever – though she was never one to actually show it so she was pretty content on remaining in the friendzone until she suddenly !! wasn’t in there anymore !!! and idk how it happened because somehow their angst thread just turned into a romance thing and then its like – all their simultaneous passion for each other just popped out and its been a rollercoaster ride ever since. And it’s just been so great because you can obviously tell how much they want each other in every interaction they have, and she honestly feels so safe with him, so much like she can just be herself and have fun and they give each other so much affection that she’s so weak for him all the time. And yet they have their own problems as well – their own fears and concerns and everything can sometimes catch up to them really badly and it’s such a tough wall they each have to get past if they want to stay together. And I’m still not sure how these two are going to end up in the end, but I know that Jackie is so head over heels for him and she’d fight so hard to keep him even if she’s scared as fuck and I’m really hoping they’ll work out once we get the really big angst plot going because its so hard to tell at the moment how that will go. But with how they are together right now, it has a good chance of being a good ending. I hope at least hihi

Kazuo // @kaito-squad– one of her closest friends, a high school kid / thief she – accidentally influenced to join her on her usually illegal excursions around the city. They’ve stolen a plush toy from a crane game, almost blown up his school with a bomb, run away from the police countless of times and have kicked demon butt and wrecked an art museum all in one night. Also she’s the godmother to his child in their future verse and he bails her out of jail. She did the same once – only she sold his diamonds to get him out and kept the rest of the cash as payment for actually doing the deed.

Troy // @sylentee - a one night stand that turned into a friends with benefits thing that turned into a boyfriend thing and honestly it’s just such a cute fluffy ship that makes me really, really happy when I get to see them together. Troy is just really cuddly with her and treats her right and he makes her happy and it’s just easy for these two to be together because it’s really simple and fun and always makes her feel really light and happy afterwards. Also she’s such an absolute tease with him and enjoys just being on his lap and watching movies and hanging out together they’re honestly adorable aaaaah

Kou // @risiox - I think I can consider him her newest closest friendship thing now?? Like they manage to get into the worse most painful situations together but also they’re just very easy together and seem like the type of pair that’ll be really great friends and hanging out together seems like it’ll be so much fun. They went to the hospital together, and they saved a cat together, and he saved her when she was being stubborn about burning her hands and now they’re gonna spend new years together its so nice I love it this makes me happy too hihi
