Chocobros Favorite Flowers (Noctis)

Roses

Noctis had basically had his favorite flower picked for him.

He’d been surrounded by roses since he was a kid. They were everywhere, at parties, in the garden, at weddings or any other formal event. They had never seemed important to him—they seemed like an everyday occurrence.

It wasn’t until the day he showed Prompto the palace gardens that he thought anything special of them. First it was the sunflowers, and Prompto looked so awed by them that Noctis knew he had to get this boy sunflowers one day, and then it was the roses.

They’d just been casually walking through the garden that Prompto stopped him, grabbed his camera, told him not to move. Noctis didn’t understand at first, but he did as he was told, allowing Prompto take pictures of him as he wanted, only realizing that he’d been in front of the rosebushes when Prompto was finished.

This continued for years. Whenever they were in the garden, or passed by a rosebush in the city. Even when they left for Altissia, if they passed by roses, Prompto wanted pictures.

They were laying in the tent one night after Ignis and Gladio fell asleep, curled up with each other when Noctis finally asked why.

“Roses mean love and passion, and you look the most beautiful when you’re surrounded by them. They make you look like the king you are.”

Noctis kissed him for a long time after that.

Yeah, he had a favorite flower.

May I request headcanons for the chocobros on how they would propose to their crush?

Thanks for your request!

Honestly. This took me soooo long because I had no idea of how Noctis would act. I'm not fully satisfied with the results but I hope you enjoy it anyways ❤️

How the Chocobros would propose to their crush

Noctis:

Tries to act chill but is a flustered mess on the inside

Holding his neck, eyes on the floor

"so..." Doesn't know what to say

"I think it's kinda obvious why I brought you here...right?"

He clears his throat before he continues to talk

"I was... thinking about how much time we've spent together..and..well...I want to be honest with you: I really like you and I would love to be your boyfriend...but being the prince can be a pain in the ass when it comes to such things...but...maybe if you also like me this way we could try to make it work"

He looks up to your face again when he finished talking

Prompto:

This guy is a MESS

So flustered, that he forgot how to speak properly

Starts with a joke because he doesn't know how to handle this awkward situation

Pushes out a nervous laughter until he starts with a "uhm...yeah..."

"I was just...wondering...you know.."

He moves back as the courage leaves his body

"it's stupid...I mean...not you! I'm stupid! You're great!...it's just stupid to think that you would feel the same way as I do"

He didn't even realize what he said until he stopped talking

He takes a deep breath

Now that it's said, he has no choice but to simply say it out loud

"I would...love to be your boyfriend..if you do.."

Looking towards the floor until you answer him

Ignis:

Is very confident because being a gentleman is one of his main traits

Will invite you to a walk through the garden

cuts off a flower you admire and gives it to you

He stopped as he turnes towards you

Takes your hand before he starts talking

"you know dear... everytime I look into your eyes, it takes away my breath for a moment... I've never been interested in relationships since I'm the prince's advisor...but if you feel the same way as I do...it'd be a pleasure to call you mine.."

There is strong eye contact in every moment of this proposal

Gladiolus:

This man is not shy AT ALL

Very flirty

He takes you to his favorite place on a small lake as you both sit down on the shore

You both watch the sunset as he takes a breath

" I think it's time to make things clear"

It's weird for him to have such strong feelings towards one person since he has a flirty personality

"I guess I don't have the right words for that...its just a fact that It drives me nuts to think about anyone else touching you..or that there could be anyone else who'd be with you"

He intentionally holds your hand while talking

He finally looks into your face

"so... if I also drive you crazy like this we should consider being crazy for each other"

Future (Chocobros x f!Reader)

“How did you imagine our future?” 

↞Noctis↠

The blossoms tickled your cheek as you turned to regard the prince. His question was asked with a tone as light as the crisp night air.

“Well, last I checked we were still getting married.” You chuckled, reaching out to idly caress a velvety petal between your fingertips. “It will be a grand wedding, no doubt.”

Noctis hummed contently next to you, your forms spread out in the vast field.

“We can expect nothing less from Specs.” He added. The two of you giggled at the image of a Ignis as a wedding planner.

“What should we do for the honeymoon?” You speculated to the starry sky, gaze getting lost in the endless maze of constellations.

“Sleep.” Noctis replied dreamily. You huffed and shook your head in disbelief, the movement causing petals to fall into your splayed locks.

“How about going fishing?” He proposed. The scowl you gave him caused an amused smile to settle on his smooth features.

“Altissia and a little sleeping and fishing on the side?” He offered in a last ditch attempt to fit his two favorite activities into the plans.

“That sounds more like it.” You sighed happily, letting the coolness of the midnight breeze delicately prickle your skin.

“Y/N.” Noctis cooed, the sound as smooth as the surface of the flowers. You turned back towards him, heart lighting up when you were met with his smile. The euphoria only lasted a moment, however, before the once pleasant chill of the night began giving you goosebumps.

“Promise me something.” He requested in a feigned upbeat tone. You could tell he was trying to mask the sadness in his voice.

You nodded once, watching the corners of his mouth quiver slightly.

“Anything.” You whispered. Noctis’ touch was temperate in contrast to the brisk air as he reached out to run his palm along your jawline.

“Promise me you won’t let me ruin your future."

Every physical aspect of reality had seemed to halt in that moment. You no longer had any sense of time nor of the itchy feeling of the blades of grass against your bare legs. You could no longer see the complex colors of the heavens and the moons seemed like dull street lights in the sky. The cold wind no longer bit at your skin. You felt completely numb to everything except Noctis.

“What?” You choked, suddenly feeling like a rock was lodged into your throat. Noctis’ shook his head, silently telling you not to cry, and flashed you another grin.

“Please do everything we just talked about, either for yourself or with someone who makes you happy.” His voice cracked at the second half of his phrase, but he retained his grin.

“I’m so sorry I’m not able to give you that future, goddess knows I would have given you the entirety of Eos.” His sapphire eyes reflected the dazzling lights in the sky and his gaze was filled with thousands of words he would never be able to say to you.

“Instead of living in my memory, live for my memory, okay?” His eyes softened into a smile of their own as he regarded you like it was the last time he ever would.

Suddenly, you felt the sudden urge to embrace him but before you could throw yourself into his arms, he had disappeared on the wind and you felt yourself being dragged out of the field with a swift tug.

“Rise and shine, Y/N. By the six, we need to find a new expression for that now. Time for another hunt.” Iris sang as she gingerly shook you awake. Blinking the sleep from your eyes, you craned your neck to peek out the tent window to regard the dark world that awaited for you. Heaving yourself up from your sleeping back, you rubbed your eyes and cracked your back with a resounding pop before getting to your feet. After slipping on your boots, you gave the jewel around your left ring finger a loving twirl as you walked out to the campsite. Even in the shadows of Eos, the little gem still managed to shine.

“I promise, Noct.”

He was now your past, but you would forever be his future.  

↞Prompto↠

He was the personification of a wilting flower. His once bright eyes were now sunken and bordered by heavy bags. He barely showed his dazzling smile anymore, so you had said goodbye to the little dimple on his cheek weeks ago. Even his once vibrant golden locks had seemed to dim in hue along with the rest of the world. When Eos lost its sunlight, so did you.

You barely registered the question he posed into his lukewarm coffee. Your heart broke when you hear the hopelessness in his voice.

Turning towards him, you reached over only to brush past his arm to grab his camera lying on the diner counter. Prompto looked over to you with slight interest, still slumped weakly in his chair. You flipped through the photos, pressure bubbling behind your eyes at the happiness of your youth. He always kept old pictures on his camera to make sure he never forgot what life used to be like. Photos were physical and more tangible compared to memories, anyway. You blinked back the wetness in your eyes until you found it.

Wordlessly you slid the camera over to him, and he picked it up with gentle hands. Once his gaze met the screen, they starting shaking and the camera began to fall from his grasp. You placed your hands firmly over his, securly holding the device in place.

It was a selfie Prompto took of the two of you at Wiz’s Chocobo Post early on in your journey. Sandwiched in between the two of you was your own Chocobo, Blueberry, his periwinkle feathers bristling in excitement and his beak open in mid chirp. Happiness radiated off you and Prompto, your smiles overtook all the other features of your face and the afternoon sun casted a cheerful glow over the image.

Prompto sucked in a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding.

“This was our future.” You gestured towards the photo with a sad smile. You removed your hands from his and used them to cup his cheeks, turning him to face you. It was the first time in a while you had gotten him to directly look at you.

“And it still is.” You stated, voice unwavering. As you looked into his eyes, all the memories of your Prompto flashed through your mind like the title credits of a movie. A happy smile found it's way to your lips this time.

“You are forever my sunshine, even more now so that the world has grown dark. And we will find the light again.” You sealed your promise to him with a soft kiss, his arms immediately coming to cup your forearms gently. When you pulled away you saw a few stray tears had begun staining his cheeks but more importantly that dazzling smile that could drive the darkness away with one glance.  

↞Ignis↠

The soft puff of air that left your mouth tickled the corner of Ignis’ lips. Your hesitation caused his heart to sink. He bit his lip nervously, teeth worrying over the chapped skin. He didn't mean to sour the previously sweet and intimate moment but the question had become a chronic worry of his. The various fictional situations of his disability somehow ruining your constantly ran through his mind and were gnawing on his insides.

In the absence of a response, he felt his intrusive thoughts begin to manifest into reality. Before he could turn away, however, your hands on his chest rose to gingerly clasp onto his cheeks, forcing him to face you. Through his clouded vision, he could only see the shadow of your movements but he knew your features were contorted in the way they did when you were trying to articulate a particular feeling.

“I didn't picture it like this, but I know you didn't either.” You almost laughed, bringing his face closer and looking into those milky green orbs. Although seemingly lifeless, they still sparkled with the same vigor the man had expressed before the incident. Brushing his eyelids shut with gentle fingertips, you replaced your touch with a feather light kiss to both of them. When you pulled back, the look of adoration on Ignis’ face made your heart swell. Who knew such a simple thing like a kiss could calm the tidal waves of insecurity that resided within the man.

“But I wouldn't change a thing, because even though the world went to shit, I still have you. And you are still you no matter what happens.”

↞Gladiolus↠

Gladiolus’ question replaced the comfortable silence between the two of you as you maneuvered through the briarwood. The inquiry made you laugh and you almost slipped at the minor distraction, boots squelching against the muddy ground. Gladiolus, reflexes as nimble as ever, gripped your arm thus preventing you from coming into contact with a sizeable bramble bush.

“Well, our lives haven’t exactly been a fairytale now have they?” You replied sarcastically, the both of you chuckling as he lifted up a low hanging vine so you could step under.

“I mean, sure I obviously thought it would be a lot different than this-” You started, abruptly stopping in the middle of the path much to Gladiolus’ confusion.

“But look.” You smiled, pointing to the sky. Gladiolus followed your finger to the thick canopy of the woods. A clearing in the branches allowed for pale rays of sunlight to seep through the dense foliage, the sun warming his skin and causing him to squint. His eyes started to sting from it’s intensity, but it was a welcoming feeling. What wasn’t welcome, however, was the moisture that began collecting in his eyes.

“And we have this” You stated, taking his hand and guiding it to rest on the slight bump of your stomach. He splayed his palm and rubbed soothing circles against the fabric of your shirt. He regarded you with an adoration he never knew he would get to experience.

“Thank you, Noct, for giving us this future.” Gladiolus said to the sky, his voice thick with a menagerie of emotions. The sun had given back their ability to live, but it was the boy behind the sun that had given Eos a second chance to shine.

↞Bonus↠

“Noct for the thousandth time NO we are not spending our honeymoon at the recreational fishing area.” You retorted over your shoulder as you sped walked to keep up with a swift paced Ignis. Why did he have to have such long legs?

Ignis was simultaneously speed firing you questions regarding the shapes and materials of various dining wares and whether or not you wanted hydrangeas or lilies placed in the center of each table as the three of you maneuvered through the elaborate department store. Well, it was more like the two of you with how far back Noctis was straggling behind. While Ignis was like a worker bee buzzing from section to section, the prince on the other hand was taking a leisurely stroll; touching random items here and there but not regarding them with much enthusiasm. You had told him that it was fine if he didn’t come; you were enjoying planning out your wedding enough for the two of you. But Noctis protested, saying that even though it wasn’t his favorite thing to do, he wanted to be there because at the end of the day it was both your wedding.

Ignis abruptly stopped in front of a vast display of fabrics, carefully inspecting each one with fine detail. You patiently waited behind the advisor, giving Noctis some time to catch up.  

“On any other occasion a weekend fishing with you sounds heavenly, but I don’t want to spend our honeymoon smelling like trout and stinky worms.” You stated, grimacing at the thought of your cute outfits smelling like dead fish.

“Which one of these do you fancy would be suitable for the table cloths for the reception?” Ignis inquired, shoving a book of samples into your hands as he slowly moved down the line of textiles. A moment later, Noctis popped up behind you, idly looking at the samples from over your shoulder. Once you noticed his presence, you held them up so he could get a better view.

“Black obviously.” Noctis declared blandly. It was clear to everyone that he wasn’t that into the whole wedding planning process and was more excited for the actual event than having to be involved in everything that went into arranging it. It didn’t help that he had to get up two hours earlier than he normally did either.

“Of course, Noct, but which black.” Ignis exhaled, looking close to short circuiting. The cloth samples were indeed both a dark shade of cobalt, but they differed in pattern and sheen. Taking matters into your own hands you pointed to the silk cloth with intricate silver embroidering.  

“This one is pretty, Iggy.” You chimed in, wanting to keep Ignis’ sanity intact and let Noctis be done with the whole process as soon as possible.

“Couldn’t agree more, Y/N. You always have had the better sense of aesthetics out of the two of you.” Ignis praised before immediately moving onto the next item on the list, leaving behind an annoyed Noctis. You choked back a laugh and turned to face him, poking his puffed cheeks until his pout turned into a smile.

“How about we go to Altissia, with some fishing on the side?” He proposed, grasping your hands and lowering them from his face to intertwine his fingers with yours.

“It’s a deal!” You beamed, bouncing on your heels. The excitement on your features set off sparks in Noctis’ chest.

“If I receive some persuasion, maybe we can throw in a few naps in there too.” You added playfully, swaying your entangled hands from side to side.

“Oh, we can do more than just nap.” Noctis grinned, taking his hands out of yours and fluidly moving to lightly tickle your sides, offering an animated shriek from you. Just as you were getting into a small tickle fight, the buzzing of the store’s intercom system activated.

“Stop dilly-dallying lovebirds and lets get a move on, we still have to go to the caterer’s office after this. I am in isle 24, the silverware section.” Ignis’ unamused voice echoed off every surface of the building.

The two of you exchanged a look of disbelief before breaking out into hysterical laughter.

“Better not keep him waiting.” You patted his chest and broke away from his embrace. Noctis rolled his eyes and placed a kiss to your forehead before the two of you ran hand in hand to your lovely wedding planner.

FF XV | Headcanons | Dating the Chocobros

Request: Some relationship headcanons with Chocobros? [by Anon]

A/N: I want all of them, okay? Okay. ALSO I’M SORRY THIS TOOK SOOOO LONG!! I’m slowly getting back into writing from my block. UGH writer’s block SUCKS! >_< Hope you enjoy!

Pairing(s): Gladiolus Amicitia x reader; Ignis Scientia x reader; Noctis Lucis Caelum x reader; Prompto Argentum x reader

+++

• Most protective boyfriendTM. Gladio always has his eyes on you, ready to defend you from anything and anyone that’s threatening you in anyway. It doesn’t even matter if you can actually fight for yourself or not - he’s gonna be there and kick some serious butt if you’re in danger or uncomfortable or whatever.

• Outdoor-dates are a must. As we know this man loooooves to be outside and he’d be thrilled if you would share this passion with him. If you’re not a huge fan of the outdoors, he appreciates it even more if you agree to go camping or hiking with him. 

• As we know, he trains a lot. And sometimes he just goes a little too far and gets some injuries. so, patching him up after training or after a day out with his friends becomes a normal thing for you. A scratch here, a torn muscle there... luckily enough, he never comes home with any serious injuries. 

• Gladio is a gentle giant - and actually very romantic. He’s not the type to take you out for dinner or prepare a fance candle light dinner himself. He’s more the type to build blanket forts and prepare everything for cuddly movie nights. 

• He loves physical affection. He’s always touching your hand, having an arm around your waist, kissing you... there’s no stopping him. Not even in public. He doesn’t mind the stares. He loves showing everybody that you belong to him. ♥

• Ignis is such a gentleman. He always makes sure you are comfortable, he pampers and compliments you at every chance he gets. 

• He will prepare you three meals every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner - no excuses, no discussions. Sometimes you’re allowed to join him in the kitchen and help him with preparing your meals - but usually when he’s cooking, the kitchen is off limits for you (or anybody for that matter). 

• He will get you a gift every week! It could be flowers, sweets, a book you wanted to read, a game you wanted to play, your favorite pastries (which he made himself of course), a new necklace, earrings... he will never fail to surprise you. 10/10 would marry, including me. 

• Ignis is - without a doubt - the best listener on the planet. Not only does he listen to your venting or rambling... but he also makes sure he understands why certain things bother you and asks before he gives you any kind of advice. He also doesn’t judge you. He wants to hear everything you have to say, encourages you to talk to him about anything you want and he wants you to trust him. 

• He’s a textbook-romantic. Long and hot baths after a stressful day, the tub surrounded by candles? Yup. Candle-light dinner (homemade of course!) for your anniversary? Got that. Cuddling on the couch for hours on end, in dim lighting, watching crappy movies and binge-eating snacks? Absolutey. Speaking of cuddles... he loves them. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the morning, at night or in a rare quiet minute of his day. No further explanation needed. 

• Fishing dates! Fishing dates! Fishing dates! There’s nothing better than spending the day far away from any other human being, somewhere in the wilderness at a quiet lake, watching your boyfriend fish... is there? 

• Prepare for an endless array of events, galas, balls, ceremonies... you’re dating the Prince of Lucis and people expect you and him to get married sometime in the future. They basically already view you as their queen. 

• You definitely have your own personal guard(s). Noctis doesn’t want anything to happen to you so when you go out into the city, meet your friends, whatever - you will have at least one shadow following you at all times. 

• Regular tea dates with Regis! When Noctis is training with Gladio or working with Ignis on some paperwork, you and Regis will have tea (or coffee, whatever you prefer). Regis wants to get to know his son’s girlfriend aka future daughter-in-law. He likes you and he approves of your relationship. (And i also feel like having tea with Regis would be so much fun, he seems like a really nice man. ;-;)

• Sleeping in whenever possible. And cuddling while doing so. Noctis is a very heavy sleeper too, so once you’re in his arms there’s no escape. He will not let go of you unless you wake him up. Koala-mode level 499. He has almost perfected it. Almost. 

• 10/10 supportive boyfriend. Doesn’t matter what it is that you’re doing - Prompto is there to support you and cheer you on. Whole-heartedly. He’s not faking it. He genuinly believes in you and wants to see you succeed. 

• Prompto does that thing that animals do sometimes when they want attention. He pokes you with his nose. You’re reading a book and he wants cuddles. He gets reeeeeaaaal close, puts his head on your shoulder... and then rubs his nose on your cheek gently, until you get the hint. Don’t be mad at him pls, he’s just a very soft and shy boi. ;-;

• You’re his No. 1 Model! He constantly takes pictures of you. Whether you’re posing for him or just doing everyday things, it doesn’t matter. He thinks you look perfect on every single picture and he wants to keep them all. But - being the wonderful, loving, supportive boyfriend he is - he lets you look through all the pics and deletes the ones you really hate. 

• He teaches you how to properly use a gun. Just in case. He would never want you to go on hunts and he hopes you never have to use a gun. But... just in case something bad happens, he wants to make sure you can protect yourself if necessary. 

• He loooooves playing with your hair. Whether it’s short, long or a wig... it’s just so intimate and therapeutic for him, he can’t stop himself from reaching out and running his fingers through your hair (braiding it, if possible). Another thing that he really loves are imperfections. Whenever he feels like you struggle with something concerning your body, he makes sure to give some extra love to that bodypart. Kissing stretchmarks or scars, running his hands over “jiggly” areas, etc. He just.... loves you. So much. ALL of you. Including your imperfections. Or rather... especially your imperfections.

Cute things about Ignis.

Alright it’s been forever and I’m so nervous but here we go!

Okay, so maybe Iggy isn’t the type of guy some would expect to be cute. Like, yeah he’s one of the most beautiful guys you’ll ever look at but he’s really prim and proper, yanno? Most people wouldn’t initially think “this man does cute things” bc they’re too busy drooling a puddle on the floor or hiding bc he’s just so..... much. But rest assured this man is probably the cutest of all the chocobros.

Has a giant leather book in the glove box of his car full of CDs that he’s been collecting since he was a teenager. There is a wide range of genres because he appreciates all styles of music. His favorites are labeled with a little star. When the boys found out about this they dubbed them “iggy’s special tunes”.

Blushes a LOT. Sometimes he doesn’t even need a reason. His face just does that and it’s adorable.

Has some freckles all of the time, but when he gets some sun they practically multiply. By the end of the summer his whole face and body is speckled with little constellations.

Is a big fan of any fantasy book he can get his hands on. He is also the type of person to highlight his favorite parts of books with a bright, neon highlighter. Thinks folding the pages is sacrilegious though.

Always matches his socks to whatever tie he might be wearing.

Will literally never be caught being impolite. When he’s walking around in public he has his hands clasped behind his back to help avoid bumping into people in the busy crowds. Always calls older women “Miss” no matter how old they are because he was once told that using “ma’am” makes them feel old.

Low key.... will kiss your booboos if you ask.

Sometimes he hides in the bathroom to avoid his very important duties just to play a game on his phone for a few minutes. It’s usually the old snake game or minesweeper. Everyone knows about it but doesn’t have the heart to tell him that they can hear the beeps and blips through the door.

Has cartoon bandaids in his medicine cabinet RIGHT NOW.

Is kind of allergic to cats but loves them so much that he will power through it just to pet one when he sees it.

Gets a lot of headaches so he will ask someone if they can rub his temples for him while he lays down. He also blushes the entire time.

Picks flowers every weekend to put in this really pretty vase he has on his kitchen counter.

If you manage to catch him before his morning coffee, he is a whole different man. He might be a little grumpy, but he is also so SO pouty that it’s a little ridiculous. It’s good that he isn’t aware of it because he could convince the king himself to step down if he used his pout long enough.

Is actually a giant goofball but in a less obvious way than certain other bros. His sense of humor is very dry and sarcastic with a sprinkling of puns here or there. If he gets you with a good zinger he will finger gun at you.

Don’t tell anyone but he loves to ice skate. He took Noct one year when they were younger and it stuck with him ever since. Doesn’t get to go as often as he likes but if you mention it to him he will light up like a Christmas tree. It makes him so happy.

Paints his nails with a clear varnish because he likes the shiny~~ look. Sometimes adds a bit of holo glitter just because. It’s not like anyone at work will see it under his gloves anyway. He does it for him.

When he’s focused he makes this low rumble/ hum noise. He kind of sounds like an engine.

Purposefully makes his voice deeper (if that’s even possible) when he’s talking to people of high ranks. For some reason he thinks it’ll make them like him more? Either way it’s hilarious to hear if you already know what he sounds like.

Peace signs a lot when friends are taking a photo of him. He doesn’t know when or how it started but now he can’t stop. It’s beginning to take a toll on him.

Accessories (HC)

Fandom: FFXV

Pairing: Chocobros x Reader

Warning: None

Requested by: @ooooooooooeo

Prompt: I hope you are doing well , i was wondering if you can do chocobros + s/o or crush , the boys giving them an accesorie to remind them of the “ boys”

A/N: I am doing fine, thank you! Hope you’re doing good. I almost ended up doing necklace for all of them. Hope you like it~.

——————————————— 

The prince had to once again leave Lucis to tend to his duties. For the past few months, he had been extremely busy, almost to the point where he couldn’t give you time. 

Noctis knew that you would be mad when you found out, so he decided to give you a little present to hopefully appease your anger. 

When he arrived at your doorstep, he was carrying a black box with an elegant gold design and a golden ribbon on top.

He explained the situation to you and handed you the box, saying in a soft voice, “I am sorry, my love. Keep this ring close to your heart.” 

You stared at the platinum ring with a diamond in the center. As you closely studied the beautiful ring, you felt as though you had seen that symbol somewhere before. 

“Noctis, is this...?” 

“Yes, the ring worn by my family.” Noctis placed his hand on yours, giving you a view of his ring.

“Again? Gladio? This is the 3rd time in two months.” You pouted and crossed your arms. 

The king’s shield rubbed the back of his neck and sighed, and you knew well that he was going to start with his babe, “you know it’s my duty” speech.

To your surprise, Gladiolus pulled out a dark blue box from one of his pockets and handed it to you. “This bracelet will remind you of yours truly.” 

You raised one eyebrow and cautiously took the box from his hand. When you opened it, you found a beautiful silver eagle bracelet. The bracelet resembled Gladio’s tattoo.

“This is beautiful! It looks just like your tattoo.” Your eyes had a shine in them, which caused your beloved to chuckle.

“Of course, babe. After all, I was the one who picked it out for you.” Gladio flashed a smug look, causing you to playfully hit his chest. 

“Come back soon, Gladio.” 

It was your one year dating anniversary, and you were on a date with your boyfriend. 

You two strolled through the garden in the heart of Lucis and took in the unique flowers surrounding you.

“My love, this is for you.” Ignis stopped in his tracks and pulled out a white gift box from his suit pocket. 

Excited, you opened the box to find a necklace matching the one Ignis usually wear. 

“I am aware that a skull design may not be to your liking, but I wished to present you with a gift that could remind you of me.” 

You never thought that Ignis was the type to wear couple jewelry, but nevertheless, you were happy. 

“It’s perfect, Iggy!” You threw your arms around him and pecked his lips, causing him to blush a bit. 

“We’re in a public place, my love. Do proceed with caution.” 

It was your birthday, but your precious boyfriend was even more excited than you. He had planned a party for you at his house.

At first, you were upset that he threw a party because you wanted to spend time with him alone, but he assured you that the party is just for the two of you.

For a few hours, you danced around and ate your favorite foods. 

Prompto handed you a lavender-colored gift bag with a massive grin on his lips, “Happy birthday, beautiful!”

You looked in the bag to find a white box with purple polka dots. Carefully opening the box, you saw two necklaces inside. 

Prompto read out the message on the necklaces, “You are my missing piece, you fit me perfectly.” 

He took one of the necklaces and leaned close to your face to put it around you. Prompto stared into your eyes, “You are my everything and will always be.”

Love Letters from the Chocobros + Ravus, Luna, Cor, Nyx, and Ardyn

Earlier I wrote a love letter from Ravus that I really enjoyed writing, so I thought I’d do one for all of my favs! I sliiightly edited Ravus’s as well and included it here!

You wake up to find that your S/O has left in the middle of the night without waking you. This is how each would let you know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Noctis

Noctis would send you a simple text message after he left. He likes to send everything that’s on his mind in one long message. He’d likely text you each night with updates and to hear from you. Texting is his jam.

This man so rarely communicates with anyone that it is truly special for him to have a message chain with you. You can bet that he never deletes anything you send him. You’ll probably also get King’s Knight invites. Playing the game together helps you two feel closer, even if you can’t be.

Hey, we had to leave like suuuuper early. Didn’t want to wake you. I hope your day goes well. I’ll try to text you when I can, probs when we stop tonight. I miss you. I can’t wait to get back. Love you.

[Simple, but sent to you as soon as he’s functional (so like noon)]

Prompto

Prompto would also text, but he’d send a selfie with either heart stickers all over it or doing the heart hands thing (or both, depending on how much time he has). He also sends multiple messages as things come to him. Prepare for a cheese fest with this cutie.

You know you’re special with Prompto because he always replies as soon as he can, we’re talking like a three second response time. If he can’t respond right away, he’ll apologize profusely when he does text you. He’d use tons of emojis, just...all of them. Prompto is probably the only one who you can reach out to whenever you want and he’ll always try to make time for you.

Hey babe! <3 sorry I left without waking you. Don’t be mad, ok? You looked just so cute sleeping. See?!

[sends you the photo of you sleeping we all know he took]. How are you so pretty EVEN WHEN YOURE ASLEEP?<3<3<3<3

Save the spot next to ya for me! I’ll be back before you know it![thumbs up]

[There’d be a pause in the messages as he becomes serious]

I miss you already...I love you. Remember that, ok?

Ignis

Iggy would want to be a classic romantic by leaving you a letter, but he’d also opt for practicality above all else. His actions would speak louder than words. He’d likely leave a note and a flower on the counter for you, next to the already prepared coffee, a breakfast that takes little to prepare, and all of the dishes done.

This man is one of the best strategists in all of Eos. He’d know every plan the two of you made better than you would and would be utterly disappointed that he had to skip out on them due to his sudden departure. Knowing him, he’d pull all the necessary strings to make sure your plans would be rescheduled for his return.

[Note]

Urgent business to attend to. Will return promptly.

Love,

Ignis

[A text message at his first possible opportunity]

Love,

I apologize for my sudden departure. Matters progressed quicker than expected, making it imperative to leave. Please know that I will be home to you as fast as possible.

I’m deeply sorry that I will miss all of the plans we made for this weekend. I made arrangements for us to visit the Royal Gardens upon my return and I have moved all of our reservations.

You will find a surprise awaiting you tonight! [It’s likely he ordered you your favorite takeout to be delivered when you return from work and flowers to be delivered at the same time.]

I love you. Be safe.

-Ignis

[Ignis would want to call you in the evening, but Gladio always finds the best conversation spots before him and he doesn’t want to be away from his duties for long.]

Gladio

Gladio loves being close to his beloved, so he’d probably risk waking you to kiss you before he left. He’d also call you and leave a voicemail the first chance he got.

Gladio makes sure that everything is personal with those he loves, so texting would be out of the question for him unless it was his only option. While he’s very learned, I don’t see him as enjoying giving you letters, perhaps because his handwriting is so bad? Perhaps because it’s still too distant for him. He’d rather take the time and call you each night. He aches to hear your voice.

This man doesn’t like using the L-word, but for him, “Be safe” means about the same thing. He really loves domestic life and would be disappointed about ruined plans, regardless of how simple they were.

[Voicemail left for you]

Hey babe,

Sorry I had to leave so early. I tried to wake you, but [chuckles] we both know how that normally goes. I got called out on an escort that had to leave before dawn. I shouldn’t be gone for too long, but I’ll let you know more details as I can.

[He’d pause to take a deep breath]

I know we made plans together for this weekend. It kills me that I won’t be able to make them, now, but duty calls, ya’know? [a forced laugh] I rented one of the movies you wanted to see, it’s by the TV. And yes, you can have my leftovers. [He chuckles again at the normal fights over leftovers you two have.]

[He sighs and gets quiet after trying to lighten the mood]

I really do miss you.

I won’t be able to answer my phone most of the time, so I’ll call you when I get a chance.

Be safe for me.

Ravus

Ravus’s letter to you would a full love letter, done on his personal stationary, sealed in an envelope, and your name beautifully written on the front. It may be brief (for him) due to the sudden need for his departure, but it’d still be one of the most eloquent letters of the bunch.

This man loves you so much, but he doesn't always know how to say it. That’s why he loves writing to you: he can take the time and think about how he wants to express himself. He knows the perils of his position and always fears he may never see you again. That’s why he leaves you physical letters, so that if the worst should happen, you have something to hold and remember him by.

My Dearest Star,

I must leave you as Chancellor Izunia has discovered “urgent business” that must be attended to at this late hour. With the morning light you shall wake and I shall be dreaming of you.

While a great distance may separate us so unexpectedly, know that I will do all that is in my power to make sure that my time away from you is limited:  I hope to return to your arms within a fortnight.

I realize that my schedule grows tiresome on you. I promise that, upon my return, every moment I breathe shall be devoted to you and your desires. I long to bask in the radiance of your smile and to lay my hands upon the perfection that is your body, once again.

Your love is the greatest treasure I have been fortunate enough to be granted.

May the astrals watch over you until you are safe by my side.

With all my love,

Ravus

Luna

You are in love with the busiest woman in all of Eos, good luck. She would want to be romantic, having learned from her brother, but she doesn’t have the time or the means as she seeks out the astrals. To make up for this, she’d likely leave you notes at every gas station and town she passed through, hoping someone would recognize you and give you the note. Sometimes, she’d even call you, when she got your number right and had free access to a phone. Umbra and Gentiana would deliver messages to you whenever Luna could spare them, but that’s not often seeing as they’re also assisting the True King.

The fact that she’s taking any time to think of you and reach out to you is special. Yes, it’s a unique way that doesn’t always work (who knows how many notes are out there), but the creative solution to the problem is very special to you; it shows she really put time into thinking about it. It’s like a scavenger hunt for your love!

[First Note, given to you by Cindy]

Dearest Beloved,

I write to inform you that I am safe beyond Insomnia’s walls. Contrary to my deep desire to await your arrival here, I must continue on. I hope to see you soon.

Please be safe. I love you.

Your Dearest,

Lunafreya

[Second Note: Left at a campsite for you by Gentiana]

Dearest,

I’m so happy that this note has reached you. Know that my heart belongs to only you and my every thought includes you.

I head onwards to the astrals. Meet me soon.

Your Beloved,

Lunafreya

[Third Note: Left at the gate to the Meteor of the Six]

Dearest Love,

If you are reading this, I have already moved on. While my duty lies with Noctis, know that my heart lies with you. Please, come to me.

I await you where my tears meet the sea.

All My Love,

Luna

[A call from Luna]

[Hello?]

Hello!

Oh, my treasure! How I’ve missed your voice!

No, I must speak!

I’m afraid I cannot wait any longer, I must leave!

I’ll wait for you in Altissa!

Please hurry, I’m afraid my heart cannot take much more of your absence.

I miss you. Are you safe? Are your travels well? Have my notes reached you?...

[You calm her anxiety by simply saying, “I love you, Luna.”]

[you hear her sigh]

I love you, too.

[shouting in the background]

I have to leave.

Take care, but I’ll see you soon…

Cor

This man loves you, but he is ALL ABOUT practicality. He’s too slow at texting you, so he’d probably just call you later after he leaves you with a kiss.

Cor is a hard man to figure out. Looking from the outside in, it’s hard to tell just how much he loves you. But to you, it’s the little efforts he’s constantly making. Like he’d get the coffee ready to go before he leaves and maybe leave a note on the counter saying “Be back soon.-Cor.” You know he loves you because this dedicated workaholic makes the time to call you ever so often. While he doesn’t say much, you are one of the only personal calls he makes, so it’s extra special.

[Voicemail]

Hey…

I had to leave early on...royal business. I can’t say more. You...slept through it. [He knows not to bring up your sleeping habits by now but you can imagine the teasing smile on his face.]

Some of the guard may come by to check on you, I put in a request for it. Sorry, but just to be sure.

I’ll call you later.

I love you.

Bye.

[Between the two of you, it’s implied that he misses you, but he leaves you so often that you just know it. So much goes unsaid between you two, but you know you’ll regret it one day. Cor must know it, too.]

[The next day, Cor actually sends you a message!]

I miss you. I love you.

[Cor likes to bring you flowers from wherever he was when he returns.]

Nyx

Nyx would be out the door so often that text messages would be the norm. He’d be another one that you knew to read between the lines with.

This man would use so many shortcuts. Anything to be able to send you a message in his few spare seconds. Knowing him, he often gets his phone broken, so you get messages from new numbers a lot. But you know Nyx loves you because the man that can’t remember to eat or bathe regularly has your number memorized.

If his shifts are inside Insomnia, he’d stop by your work or apartment to steal a kiss if he found even one moment to spare.

Had to go early. Emergency. Be back tonight. Love you.

[or]

Heading out for a few. I love you. Libertus will b by l8r.

[The mere fact that Nyx is texting you shows that he cares. He typically doesn’t communicate if he doesn’t care at all.]

[If you tell him you love him.]

I love you too. I miss you. It’ll be awhile, but wait for me. I’m coming home.

Ardyn

This overdramatic wonderful man is a spectacle to behold. If you thought leaving you notes was romantic, this man is over the top. He leaves a full paper letter to you, left pinned to your door (to make your neighbors blush), AND sends you a dozen roses later in the day to show the ENTIRE WORLD that he loves you.

A good way to describe Ardyn is that he lingers. He would make his party wait to leave until after he gave you a long, slow kiss before he left. He’d stop by your apartment or work if given the chance and likely be there for at least an hour. He’s immortal and has all the time in the world, so he may as well spend as much of it as he can with you.

My dearest, sweetest [Y/N],

You have my sincerest apologies for my sudden departure. Unfortunately, urgent business must be attended to.

While attending to said duties, you will be a constant presence in my thoughts. I find my mind wandering to the sound of your voice, the softness of your skin, the smell of your hair, and the light in your eyes. You are a most welcome distraction to the monotony of bureaucracy.

Know that upon my return, you shall be treated like the royalty you are. I shall pull you into my lap and take the time to kiss you that you deserve. The bindings of clothing will melt away, that I may bask in the radiance of your body, taking my time to properly worship every inch of you. Your moans will be the sultry and sweet tones of a choir to the gods above. Oh, to have the taste of you on my lips again. May the entirety of Eos hear our love and have jealousy bloom in their hearts, knowing that you, the most beautiful and perfect human, nay, you must be a god yourself, is mine and mine alone!

Oh,I’m giddy for my return just imagining it.

My nights shall be lonely without you by my side, but know that I will stop at nothing to return to you. I have arranged everything, that you may want for naught until my return.

You have all of my heart, my beloved, my treasure, my starlight.

Your Beloved,

Ardyn

[square-enix-headcanons]

Your time warp love triangle headcanons for KH were great! Could we maybe get something similar for Chocobros? Like a time warp where their main game selves and their older selves after the 10 year gap end up in the same universe, and they are both falling for the same person. If you have time or are interested it would be cool to see for Ardyn or Ravus too, but no pressure. Your stuff is great!!!

Ardyn and Ravus are two of my favorites I’ll always have time for those jerks lol. For the Bros, I’ll do Main game and after the game ends and the world is saved; Ravus gets slightly Pre-Game and Post-Worldsaving; for Ardyn, I’ll do main game and his past self from before everything went to hell.

Noctis

Both of them are really surprised, but like... Very lowkey about it

Older!Noctis is probably more surprised than Main!Noctis. If only because, well, Older!Noctis knows that this guy is him from the past - Main!Noctis can at least try to convince himself it’s just a dude who looks really similar, or something

Older!Noctis explains himself to Main!Noctis though. There’s... Some awkward silence afterwards, because how do you react to meeting your future/past self??

Problem with wooing you here is... Neither Noctis is really all that skilled at it. He hasn’t really been all that interested in dating so far, so has pretty much no experience whatsoever

He knows the theory, sure, and he’s usually somewhat okay at human interaction in general... But dating?

Main!Noctis actually tries asking Older!Noctis for advice but. Older!Noctis really does not know any more than Main!Noctis does.

The first few dates are kinda... Awkward simply because of that. They’re pretty standard in a way; restaurant, maybe the cinema, etc. (Older!Noctis is more likely to pick a restaurant as the go-to spot, Main!Noctis more likely to take the cinema)

Until they relax a bit more about the whole thing, at least. The dates are still nice, since Noctis is a nice person, they just felt kinda stiff. But once they relax a little and basically throw out the script? Much nicer

Main!Noctis, for example, would totally invite you to just literally take a nap together. Or play games together. Stuff like that. Maybe even take you fishing.

Older!Noctis is more likely to suggest going for a walk or, again, take you fishing (He’s been in the dark for a while, so he kinda wants to go see the world with the sun up again)

When you pick one of them, the other one will accept it and wish you good luck, but probably leave. He might text occasionally, though

Ignis

Well. Seeing himself with those scars is… Unsettling.

Main!Ignis is very tempted to ask, but on the other hand not quite sure whether he wants to know.

He does decide to ask in the end; maybe knowing can help him avoid it? And Older!Ignis is perfectly willing to answer. Again, maybe if he knows early enough, some things can be changed.

Next question is what they should do about the fact that they’ve both fallen for you

They come to the conclusion that it should be your decision, obviously, and that they’re not really into the idea of really competing against each other

So instead, they both kinda just... Hang out with you. They’re both a bit more thoughful and/or romantic than they’d be with their friends (They might bring you flowers from time to time, for example), but other than that, don’t really ask you out on a date

(Pro of this situation: You get tons of amazing food because you’re hanging out with two great cooks!)

After a while, they confess to you that they’ve both fallen for you, though they assure you you don’t need to make a decision in any way now

By the time you do decide, you’re such a close-knit group anyway that not much changes. The Ignis you didn’t pick just takes it in stride, though he might try to get some distance for a while.

But you still hang out all together, and both Ignises still get along really well

Prompto

????????

First of all, super confused to be seeing… Himself. Crushing on the same person. What???

Y’all know that Spiderman meme? That’s exactly what they look like the first time they spot each other

They’re both sad they have competition in general (Despite being a total cutie, neither Prompto is all too experienced when it comes to wooing anyone), but at least the competition is only, well, himself.

It’s weird, sure, but Prom feels like he’s got much better chances against himself than he would against, say, Gladio

Both would have their go-to solution be asking Noctis (or one of the other Chocobros) to be a wingman... But how exactly are they supposed to decide who to help?? They’re technically both Prompto, right?

(They’d help the one whose time they’re in - If Older!Prom ended up in the Main time, we’d have Main!Bros helping Main!Prompto. If Main!Prompto got thrown into the future, the Older!Bros would help Older!Prom)

They don’t want to make their friends choose like this. Which means they’re on their own.

They won’t explain stuff unless you ask.

“Why does he look so similar to you?” - “Would you believe if I told you he’s me from the past/future?”

Their way of wooing you is pretty similar (Up to the point that the first idea pf both for asking you out is suggesting a nice photo shoot!). Sure, Older!Prompto is a bit more mature while Main!Prompto is a bit more excitable, but at their core, they’re obviously still the same person.

Regardless of who you pick, the other is willing to hang around as a friend, if you want to. Sure, it hurts to see you in a relationship, but at least you’re happy (and it’s technically still a relationship with him, which is... Nice, he guesses?)

Gladio

Huh, so he got some new scars, but other than that, he didn’t change that much

Both Gladios are somewhat competitive, so they decide they’ll just… Both try to impress you, and then let you choose

For fairness’s sake, Main!Gladio sticks to his shirtless look while Older!Gladio wears his Kingsglaive outfit, so you can easily distinguish them

And, well… Then they come up with cool stuff to impress you with.

Sometimes it’s literal competitions against each other, like armwrestling, or just generally showing off their skills and strength

But other times, they try going a more romantic route, like bringing you flowers etc

Both Gladios really enjoy dragging the other one when they’re with you, but in a rather friendly teasing way

“That kid, huh? Thinks he’s so hot with his shirtless look…”

“Well, he still looks pretty nice, I guess… For a grandpa”

At times, you might wonder if they actually want you to choose, since they are kinda having fun with their competition

They’ll both accept your choice, regardless of whom you end up choosing; the other one may stick around, or may not, but either way it’s no big deal

Ravus

Past!Ravus is somewhat disturbed by his lack of arm

That’s. That’s a pretty big change.

Other than that, while he’s surprised, he doesn’t really show it. The two of them do stare at each other for a while though.

When it comes to wooing you, they decide to just treat each other like a stranger. They do talk occasionally - Especially since Past!Ravus is really really curious what happened to his arm (Though Future!Ravus only gives cryptic answers) - But never about you

(The whole situation is just... Too weird otherwise)

So it’s not a direct competition; they don’t try to one-up the other one, for example. It’s just... Two very very similar guys both asking you out on dates.

Once you choose one, the other one will take a step back, but won’t leave completely; he may text you occasionally, and you might meet up from time to time, but he’s basically just an acquaintance

Ardyn

Well, at first, Past!Ardyn is mostly very curious - This is his future self, right? So he’s curious to hear what Present!Ardyn has to tell him

Until they get too close to each other

Now, Past!Ardyn is no stranger to the Starscourge; he’s marked by it, too. But that’s no comparison to Present!Ardyn.

Past!Ardyn actually flinches back at first. He doesn’t want to - in a way, Present!Ardyn seems just like another lost soul to be saved, like the other people he’s healed before - but there’s just so much dark energy emanating from him

Present!Ardyn chuckles and pretends to find Past!Ardyn’s reaction amusing. In truth, it hurts, deeply. It’s a reminder how deep he’s fallen, how deep the Gods let him fall, made him fall

Before that, Past!Ardyn tbh wasn’t sure how they should solve the whole thing. He’s never been in competition with, well, himself. And now he’s… Even less sure

See, on one hand, Present!Ardyn seems kinda threatening - That’d mean Past!Ardyn should try to woo you first. But on the other hand, Past!Ardyn has no idea how or why he ended up like this. What if you’re in even more danger with him, considering Present!Ardyn at least seems able to control his Starscourge? Or maybe they both should leave you alone in this case?

Present!Ardyn gladly uses the time Past!Ardyn spends doubting himself to chat you up.

That at least removes the last option. And Past!Ardyn does, in the end, decide to try and woo you himself. It’s still possible for him to avoid whatever fate had befallen Present!Ardyn, and Past!Ardyn doesn’t quite trust his future self

Despite being the same person (Ignoring that Present!Ardyn is kinda 1000 demons in a trenchcoat but shh xD) their ways of approaching you are very different

Present!Ardyn is very, very charming. There’s always a little hint of danger underneath, sure, but it’s hard to notice if you aren’t paying very close attention - And even then, who’s to say that feeling is right? He behaves like the perfect gentleman, after all.

Past!Ardyn knows what he’s doing, too, but he does seem a bit rough around the edges at times. Not necessarily in a bad way, either; it makes the whole thing feel very genuine.

It’d be rare to see them both together; they both have their reasons for staying away from the other one as good as they can

Past!Ardyn is, truth be told, somewhat scared of Present!Ardyn. Not much, but seeing himself like this is just unsettling

Meanwhile, Present!Ardyn hates being reminded that he wasn’t always like this. That there was a time when he still had genuine smiles, when all he wanted to do was help people, when he wasn’t more demon than man… But that time is long gone

Past!Ardyn might actually try to warn you about Presen!Ardyn. Not with the full details (yet), but a general warning that he isn’t quite who he appears to be

If you choose Past!Ardyn, Present!Ardyn will surprise probably everyone - mostly himself - and just leave you two alone. He doesn’t quite get why, but… As much as he’d love to be the one who’s with you, he also doesn’t want to hurt you. So he accepts your decision and leaves.

If you choose Present!Ardyn, Past!Ardyn will probably still hang around as a friend.

In either case (in the first one especially if you have grown fond of Present!Ardyn), given some time, Past!Ardyn will probably try to find a way to help Present!Ardyn with his, um, little Starscourge problem. After all, that’s what healers do

(It’s uncanny as heck for them to work together, though, and neither particularly enjoys the other’s company, but they can deal with it if there’s a good enough reason)

[angelic-guardienne]

Flower Shop AU (Prompto/Reader)

Isn’t it funny how I open requests and then? Don’t answer any requests??? Anyway, I texted this scenario to a friend back in November and I recently found it again while looking for something else. Soooo I decided to type it up, buff it up, and post it, and here it is. 

Tagging: @blindedstarlight @joioliviapolaroid @crazykruemel @ponkita @tales-of-a-fallen-star @valkyrieofardyn @insomniacapples @kawaiinekorose @glacian-apocalypse @honey-your-bee-puns-sting @singergurl91 @commitmentroses @tea-and-ebony-for-my-chocobros @sakuraangel1 @tiniestofqueens @bestchocobois @jaysfandomcorner 

Premise: AU where everyone lives and Insomnia is rebuilt. Noctis rules over the nation as its king and foreign relations are amazing. The bros stand by his side as his personal crownsguard, just like they did when they were on the road.

I love flower shops, so you run a flower shop. It’s small, you’re the owner and most times the only one there, so you’re always there.

One day, a cute little blonde with the most beautiful blue eyes comes in. He buys a bouquet of flowers, gives you a hella bright smile, and leaves without much talk

Some other day, the blonde returns, and this time he has a friend -- an absolute giant of a man with burning amber eyes and scars galore and a voice like moving mountains. This friend buy a bouquet of gladioli and irises and he gives you a grateful little nod before they both leave

It’s on his next visit -- he’s by himself, I might add -- that the lil blondie introduces himself: Prompto. Even though he’s not been at the shop nearly enough to be considered a regular, you consider him one anyways

You two chat for a bit until another customer comes in, after which Prompto leaves. He says he doesn’t wanna distract you

Prompto returns one day and he’s brought someone else -- another friend, you presume -- and this one is tall and lithe, illegally graceful in his movements and wearing gloves and wide, tinted shades. He takes a whiff of nearly every flower in the store and you watch bemusedly as Prompto trails behind him excitedly

Suddenly the man stops and plucks a bouquet from its display and walks right over to the counter. “These are camellias, yes?” He asks in such a refined voice that you’re taken back a bit, but you still manage a yes.

Prompto looks super pleased while his friend buys the bouquet, commenting that those flowers were his mother’s favorite

When Prompto leaves that day, you catch yourself wondering what kind of character he’ll be bringing in next (not that you’re complaining, it’s seriously increasing your business)

Prompto visits often, and one day you ask why. You know he buys more flowers than any one person would reasonably need unless he’s trying to start his own shop and drive yours out of business (he laughs and tells you it’s definitely not that)

He leans against the counter and gives you this warm smile. “It was for interior design at first. I just wanted a burst of color, you know?”

And yeah, you know, but that “at first” implies a lot, Prompto

So he continues, “Then I started getting them for certain occasions like, you know, leaving flowers on a grave or something, or helping my friend’s little sister start up her garden, things like that. Now I’m basically giving them away because I have more flowers than I know what to do with.”

And, reasonably, you ask, “my flowers aren’t exactly cheap at the bulk that you’re buying them in, so why do you keep buying them?”

And he says, “cause I wanted an excuse to see you.”

(for those worried about it, Prompto’s getting the money for all these flowers cause I’m making the assumption that the crownsguard gets paid big cash)

Anyways

So you’re flustered of course, and your brain goes to a default response -- “I’m hiring if you wanna see me more” and you’re so, so lucky that it makes prompto laugh instead of weirding him out or something, because boy his laugh is auditory g o l d

He says, “How about a date instead?” (when did prompto get so smooth?) and you just nod because you don’t exactly trust your voice. You jot down your phone number on his receipt -- he bought a bouquet of the flowers you passively mentioned were your favorites

He hands it back to you, like a gift, and you jokingly tell him not to break bank buying flowers, even if the profits help a lot

The date goes unbelievably well, I gotta say. Y’all go to a nice, homey lil restaurant and then to a bakery, where you two share a few cookies and some other pastries

With that date, you guys go on another, and another, and another, and I can officially say that y’all are head over heels, absolutely smitten with each other

One day, Prom swings by and he has the whole entire actual king with him. You send him a panicked look and he just kinda shrugs sheepishly (mildly helplessly) as Noctis gives the shop a solid once-over and goes straight to the counter

“You’re (Y/N), right?” the king says, and you’re like holy fuck holy fuck the king knows me by name what the fuck what the fuck wh

and you just squeak out a little “yeah, that’s me”

And Noctis holds both of your hands in his and stares you right in the eyes and thanks you so genuinely that you’re internally flipping your shit and left totally speechless

He thanks you for making Prompto happy, he thanks you for loving him, he thanks you for helping him find the light in life again, he thanks you for so much

And then he jokingly says, “please tell him to stop buying so many flowers, the citadel is practically full of them” and prompto just lets out the cutest little indignant noise, and you’re just like “with all due respect, your majesty, he’s one of my best customers”

Noctis just laughs. “Fair enough,” and he thanks you one more time before he takes his leave

Apparently, having the actual king come to your little shop drastically increased the appeal so business absolutely skyrocketed, as did the number of applicants for open slots around the shop.

(It was actually the fact that he mentioned your shop specifically in a televised interview)

It gets popular enough and you end up making enough money and hiring enough people that you can finally get some more free time, which Prompto definitely takes advantage of

You get to spend a lot more time around his friends and family (the bros) and you finally get to truly interact with the people you’ve heard so much about from him

Iris teaches the two of you how to make flower crowns, so of course you guys make them all the time and gift them to everyone, including each other

Meeting Cor was a little daunting at first, considering that he’s basically the closest thing that Prompto has to a father, but once you two start talking everything goes smoothly. Cor, like Noctis, genuinely appreciates everything you’ve done for Prompto and just really likes you too, so.

Sometimes Cor will share embarrassing and/or funny stories from when he was still getting to know Prompto and they always make you laugh and give you a deeper appreciation of your boyfriend. Prompto, of course, always tries to get him to stop (and he always fails).

Overall, you and Cor are on really good terms. Y’all get along well, and you also really like his cats (and they like you) so you don’t mind spending time around him.

Sometimes he comes into the shop and buys his own bouquets. If you ever ask why, he says he’s trying to charm this little lady he met at a party. If you inquire further, goodness he could go on about her forever, and it always makes you really happy to see that Cor has someone in his life, too

But yes, whenever you’re at the shop, Prompto will come in and buy flowers for you, because he never quite got out of the little habit of buying flowers from you, for you. His favorite thing to do is to buy the bouquet and then hand it right back over the counter.

You always shake your head at him and tell him he’s basically paying you to own something you already own, but every single time, without fail, the bouquet goes into a vase somewhere at home

Eventually, you learn that when Prompto said he was giving the flowers away, he was literally just dumping him on the bros. He was frantically explaining, “I want to ask them out but I’m scared to and the only way I can see them is buying more flowers and help”

Gladio is the one that finally pushes him to ask you out because he has literally reached his capacity for new flowers, and all the others agreed with him

That’s how Prom finally asked you out -- his flower outlets closed on him and he had little other choices, but thank god they did because he’s so much happier thanks to you.

White Day (ft the Chocobros and Nyx)

Dun dun duuuunnnn, part 2!

I finished this a few days ago but I haven't proofread it??? In fact I almost forgot today was White Day???! I'm off my game today smh

~~

A month ago you had put forth the effort and time to make homemade chocolates that you thought your crush would enjoy. You handed them over as you confessed and then fled the scene, leaving the ball in their court...

Ignis

Of course he noticed you were interested in him before you confessed, he was paid to notice the smallest details that revolved around the Prince so he noticed you early on. You became friends with Prompto and Noctis in high school after you transferred in and you had to pass an extensive and intense background check to be approved. He was the one to do the background check and therefore the one to clear you.

Somewhere in the process of keeping an eye on you when you were around the Prince, he started becoming fond of you and your little quirks, like the way you'd crinkle your nose when you were excited or the way your brows would furrow when you were concentrating. He would make your favorite side dishes when you'd stay over for dinner and even make a personal sized dessert. He didn't realize immediately why he took notice of those things.

He came face to face with his feelings for you a few days before you confessed and he couldn't help but chuckle at his luck. You liked him too! He knew with White Day he was going to have to get you the best gifts to pay you back. He settled on a bouquet of the intoxicating white jasmine flowers, a homemade lunch of your favorites that he would deliver to your office, and a bottle of perfume you had been wanting to get but couldn't afford. The perfume came in a fancy square box with a ribbon around it so he got a white gift bag to put it in and cooked up lunch. Once it was cooled, he packaged it up, grabbed the bag, and headed to the florist to get the bouquet. He waltzed into your office and set everything down in front of you. "For you, my dear. As payment for Valentine's Day and a token of my feelings for you." He smiled as you blushed, grabbing up the bouquet to smell it, knowing that it meant sweet love. "How do you feel about dinner this weekend?" He asked you softly, smile turning to a smirk when you nodded eagerly.

Prompto

He was ecstatic by the time White Day was nearing! He had spent time thinking your gifts over and was sure you would like them. He had been teased by the boys though, saying he was going small when he should probably do something a bit more grand. Which was why he had upped the size of one gift. Now he was having second thoughts because he was going to have to tote it around until he found you...and then you would have to struggle with it.

Maybe he shouldn't have gotten the larger stuffed moogle, but he knew you loved moogles like he loved chocobos. Besides, it was your plushie to him that gave him the idea. He had also bought a couple small things of different assorted chocolates and put them in a white bag along with the final part of your gift that he was praying you wouldn't overlook. One of the Six must've been looking over him (more like Ignis) because he found you in the very same courtyard where you had confessed to him.

"Hey, there you are!" He called out from behind the moogle plushie that took up most of his arms. "I know it's a bit huge, but I saw this and immediately thought of you!" He placed it on the bench beside you and you finally caught sight of his freckled cheeks, which were flushed, as he grinned at you. "Here, this is for you too!" He watched eagerly as you pulled out the items and felt his anxiety settle down as you let out an excited squeal at the phone charm he had bought last. It had two little charms on it, one a moogle and the other a chocobo chick and it conveniently matched the one on his phone. "W-Would you like to get dinner today?" He asked shyly, his head ducked down so he missed the flush that spread across your face. Little did he know that this would lead to you guys gifting plushies to each other for your anniversaries.

Noctis

He had thought about giving you his response like you had confessed to him but he immediately dismissed the idea, not even wanting to consider voicing it to Ignis for feedback on it. His feelings had shifted way before you confessed and he was trying to come up with a way to convey that to you without going too over the top. He knew you didn’t like grand gestures, it was usually the thought that mattered the most to you. You didn’t like having a lot of money spent on you, as he had found out throughout your friendship.

He wavered between ideas for a couple weeks, even after getting input from his friends once he finally mustered up the courage to ask for help. He got tips and ideas from the three guys but nothing jumped out at him. Ignis's was a bit too extravagant for him to follow, Prompto's was too simple, and Gladio's was too involved. He set some time aside in his busy schedule to literally just sit and think it over. When he finally came up with an idea, he sat there and just stared at how simple it really was!

He went out and bought the things he needed to and roped in the family's kitchen staff for the sweets. He had an assortment of fresh daifuku on the table along with the small, square jewelry box he had found for the bracelet he had gotten you, and the vase of white camellias the florist had assured him meant "my destiny is in your hands". He eagerly awaited your arrival for your weekly video game night. When you walked in, glad you had caught him at home, he watched your eyes widen at the sight of the gifts. "This is for you," he said softly, the blush on his cheeks very easily visible. "I uh, the flowers, they mean t-that my destiny is in y-your hands." He watched your face flush as you gasped and reached for the box. "I know you're not one for expensive gifts, so don't worry about that. I saw it and immediately knew you'd like it." He explained. The box contained what he considered to be a set of dorky friendship bracelets but you smiled at them, immediately putting yours on and helping him with his. "And finally, for your sweet tooth...snacks!" He laughed when that was all the guidance you needed to immediately dig into the assortment of daifuku, asking around a mouthful if you guys were still on for game night.

Gladio

He had actually already had his eye on you before you confessed to him, but he hadn’t known what to do about the way his eyes and thoughts would stray to you. He was actually pretty amused when you’d go out of your way to meet him and he actually started loitering around to make it easier for you. Your smile brightened his day and lightened his mood. As the days passed, he still wasn’t sure what to do about his apparent growing attachment to you.

He still hadn't known what to do, not until you had given him the chocolates and said you liked him. Then an idea started forming. He was going to give you things you liked but wouldn’t buy for yourself. From the time spent before Valentine’s Day, he had started seeing that you admired things that would be considered feminine but you didn’t seem to buy any for yourself. Or you’d coo over an assistant’s nails but never take very good care of your own. So he started a list of things you liked but wouldn’t buy to see what options he had for White Day.

Come White Day, he asked Cor to send you on an errand for him that was going to be Gladio’s excuse for seeing you. When you walked into the conference room and saw him sitting idly at the table, your face went up in flames. “Oh, hey, doll, what brings you here?” He asked with a lazy smirk tugging at his lips. At your stuttered answer, he gestured to the seat across from him, conveniently on the same side of the table as you were. “Why don’t you sit down for a few then? Take a quick break, it’ll be our secret.” He winked and your knees started to weaken so you had to sit down. He pulled a bag out of the chair beside him and passed it across to you before grabbing a vase of flowers from the floor that you had somehow overlooked. “These are my answer to you. You don’t buy things you don’t need for yourself, so I took that opportunity and got you a couple things.” He watched you admire the daffodils, wondering if you knew that they meant new beginnings, and then when you pulled out the gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure combination and the stationary set you had been seen admiring.

Nyx

It wasn't like he hadn't noticed you before you confessed to him, because he had. You were a very competent Glaive and he was always relieved when your name appeared on the mission roster with his because he knew at least one person was going to be able to carry their own weight. But after your confession? It was like he saw you everywhere he went and he couldn't get you out of his thoughts. It was starting to drive him nuts! He knew White Day would be his chance to reciprocate your feelings but he wasn't too sure what to do for it, what to get you.

You had a sweet tooth, that wasn't hard to see since you always had something sweet to snack on with you. So he decided he would make chocolate covered strawberries and cherries for you as a thank you for the chocolates. However he still wanted to get you something else and the closer it got to March 14th, the more he started freaking out internally. He was still pretty empty handed and he didn't want to just hand over the fruit, that would essentially be a slap to the face. His waiting was rewarded a couple days before, as he overheard you and Crowe complaining about not getting a chance to relax.

Come White Day, he found you in the training yard and couldn't help the grin that took over as he approached you. "Well, well, well... It looks like our roles are reversed," he teased as he plopped down next to you. He handed the chilled box over, explaining it was just chocolate covered fruit, and then he handed over the white bag that crinkled as you took it. "I've had a month to think it over and I feel like this is the best way to get my feelings across to you." His cheeks were dusted a light pink when you peered into the bag. "There's a full massage voucher and a bath set, including some bombs, that the lady said would help you relax." He took one of your hands in his after you set the gifts aside, clearing his throat and looking away briefly. "Would you do me the honor of going out with me?" His voice was a bit rough from embarrassment but his eyes were hopeful.

I’m Not Drunk ~ Chocobros

I have been having some difficulties writing lately and this was the first idea I have had in a while. I have seen all of your requests and I'm working on them right now, I thought this would be funny even though it wasn't requested. Hope you enjoy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was one of those nights, the nights with nothing to do and when the bar in town opened that night it was all too convenient to not enjoy and let go for a while. You and your man and the rest of the boys were going to regret this in the morning. but you're all responsible adults...right...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prompto

The sunshine boy, Chocobo lover and master of photography was anything but that, when drunk. Prompto a very sensitive guy by nature with a big loving heart was exactly the opposite when drunk. The sweet sensitive boy was a fan of the fruit-flavored drinks because they didn't sting his throat he drank at least 11 until it hit him full throttle starting with a trip to the men's room to hurl he walked back out after rinsing his mouth out to find you on the dance floor. He smirked and made his way over while grabbing your ass. "Hey I know that sexy choco-ass anywhere!" he said with a confident tone in his voice. You jumped slightly and giggled as you realized it was Prompto he smiled and wrapped his arms around you his hand grabbing your ass and pulling you close he smelled of whiskey yet was still appealing as he trailed kisses down your neck. "MMM my sexy girl!" he smirked his confidence that he normally didn't have was rather attractive as he turned you around and pulled your body close to his your ass against him as he smirked not letting you go and he bites your ear softly as you started to get heated. "I'm gonna make you my personal little bitch tonight, Would you like that?" Your response was your weak knees as he held you up as you blushed. You and the sunshine drunk returned to the hotel room before the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gladio

This behemoth of a man, the king's shield was so soft when drunk he was actually clingy. He had about 2 full bottles of rum and a beer before feeling anything. He was spiraling into his feels as he grabbed you holding you close to his big body as he nuzzled into you. "Do you realize how fucking beautiful you are to me?" You blushed as he was normally lovey dovey behind closed doors never in public the PDA took you by surprise. He smiled and kissed you all over your blushing face. "Haha, what's wrong babe?" He smirked as he spread your legs and turned you around so you were sitting on his lap with your legs around him as he held you close like that like you where the man's personal porcelain doll. He cooed sweet nothings into your ear all night. You smiled as you enjoyed the comfort you found in the large man's arms even if it was in public he slowly kisses your soft lips and smiled. "I want you to know how much you mean to me babe, You mean so much to me, I care about Noctis and the boys and I have to protect him. but you...I would destroy the world if I had to just to keep you. You are my everything." The sappy fluff pouring from his mouth was really sweet as you blushed a deep red. "Come on. I'm gonna show you how much you mean to me by making you scream my name." You smiled because even though he was sweet and fluffy right now he was still Gladio.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noctis

The normally cool somewhat nonchalant blueish black haired Noctis turned into.....well prompto... He was excitable and gitty and frequently told everyone. Noctis is a surprising lightweight With that said he was a fan of the drinks like Rum and Coke, Sprite and Vodka anything with soda in it he's ready to drink it before he was singing along to his favorite songs. You struggled to make sure he didn't jump up onto the bar. "Baaaaabe my darling future queenie, I need you to knooooow how much I loooove you." You rolled your eyes he was almost on the verge of annoying for your normally sleepy headed and lazy prince. He was a handful, you wished that the other boys didn't get so drunk to help reel him in. However, you had to admit that it was kinda cute. The short prince climbed up on the bar stool and turned you to face him with a well-planned face plant into your cleavage he smiled and hummed in content. You stared down at your prince and raised your eyebrow in confusion and let out a small laugh. "What? Leave me alone this is my favorite pillow! Mmmm so soft. " You laughed and stroked his hair as he then looked up at you and kissed you. My lovely queen, you are a vision tonight and every night. He then resumed his place in your cleavage and grabbed your wrist putting your hand on his hand for you to continue playing with his hair. You smiled at your drunken prince. He was, after all, your prince charming even when silly and drunk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ignis

Specs, the groups know it all and the one who normally gets everyone else out of trouble. He normally drank wine when he wanted to really relax but tonight he had decided that for one night he would let loose as the other guys called it. This man could hold his liquor he drank and drank and drank he favors finer drinks like Scotch, Bourbon, Hibiki, Cognac. He even owned a bottle of Cognac he kept at his apartment for very very special occasions seeing as how it was a rare vintage he paid 12,000 Gil for. Tonight he had glass after glass. around 13 glasses in, he was set for the night his shirt was untucked the few buttons at the top undone his jacket was gods know where, and his hair was down and framed his face. "My dear fellow another and no more for blondie their, Bigfoot can have more and the tiny one with his head in that poor girl's breasts is cut off as well." He slurred his words just slightly but the bartender nodded as he filled another glass Ignis took the drink and downed it quickly before turning his attention to you. He smiled a sly and predatory smile as he looked over your body. He pulled you close and smiled as he grabbed your jaw and kissed you. "Forgive me my love for being so blunt however your beauty has rendered me more than lacking in intelligence." You looked up at the man surprised at how you could understand him less when he was drunk and how his vocabulary seemed to get even more extensive. he sighed seeing your perplexed face and he smirked. " You turn me into a savage my love, One full of primal need, A need for lust, for passion, for satisfaction, for You. He said through clenched teeth in your ear as his hands roamed your body.  You leaned forward and kissed the man ready for him to take you back to the hotel as he pulled away you looked at him confused. "However, I am clearly intoxicated and must decline and you kissing me is obviously you trying to take advantage of my delicate nature..." He smiled wider than you have ever seen him smile as e burst out in laughter at his own joke. He wiped tears from his eyes and leaned against the bar as he held your hand. "Oh now, whos the serious one..my dear.." He went to grab his wallet from his jacket pocket to pay the bartender for everyone's drinks, "Oh, Oh dear, my wallet is in my jacket pocket... It has everyone's money in it. He quickly started to push through the crowded bar to search for his jacket as you laughed at how frantic he was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bonus

Prompto refused to let you leave the bedroom ;) Until you physically couldn't handle cumming anymore. Somehow his hair never once messed up and he referred to you as Chocobutt all night.

Gladio cried at some point because you are such a good person and he doesn't deserve you and he is always so scared that he s going to hurt "His delicate little angel flower from the gods"

Noctis fell asleep in your cleavage and upon waking up started to sing "What is love"...Baby don't hurt me...don't hurt me...no more... with lots of hip thrusting

Ignis eventually gave up his search to realize you had paid with his money because he put his jacket on you because you said you were cold. He proceeded to lock himself in a bathroom stall and lecture himself. about responsibility.

Chocobros (And Friends!) Favorite Flowers (Ravus)

Daffodils

Ravus had always enjoyed flowers.

He loved the pretty colors and the sweet scents. They were something beautiful that he could enjoy in a time of war, and he took every chance he could to go to the gardens and admire the flowers. Luna had always been partial to sylleblossoms, but Ravus didn’t like the blue color of them. 

Ravus liked yellow flowers. Sunflowers. Yellow roses, tulips, lilies, and hydrangea. Marigold and freesia. But his favorite flowers by far were the golden hued daffodils. He enjoyed narcissus flowers of any sort, but there was something about the traditional daffodil that always seemed to catch his eye.

When Luna died, he stopping caring about flowers. He no longer stopped to breathe in the sweet scent. No longer plucked the prettiest ones from the gardens to keep for himself as long as they would live. After her death, only once more did he even give flowers a second thought, and it wasn’t for himself this time.

The last time Ravus touched a daffodil, he’d plucked it and set it afloat in the waters of Altissia, a small farewell to the sister he loved so much. And then he did his best to never look at them again.

Russian Classics Aesthetics: Haine Reverent

ROTHERS KARAMAZOV: orthodox monasteries, deep woods, starry nights, the sound of paper being torn, dimly lit rooms, withered roses, an unfinished letter, piles of books, the sound of shattering glass, ticking of clocks in a silent house, heavy wooden furniture, the air before a storm, the smell of earth, a crowd of people dressed in black, distant murmurs, emptied streets,the fear of walking alone in dusk

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT:  coldness of the skin against a blade, slender pale fingers & slightly shaking hands, a red stain blooming on white fabric, lonely steps in a corridor, the slow dripping of water, looking out of the window into the thickening darkness, a single dying candle on the table, listening to one’s breath & counting heartbeats, too many stairs, the desire to be invisible, a subtle memory of kind words

THE IDIOT:  classical statues, wealth covered with dust, a dark house tainted with inherited madness, an unsettling feeling, long walks in a park, useless chatter, a silken ribbon forgotten on a bench, a melancholic face, an unexpected spring rain, the joy of reading one’s favorite book, the clarity of mind after fully perceiving the world around, looking at a cloudless sky

ANNA KARENINA:   fields of crops, flowers brought from an early morning walk, the wind caressing a girl’s hair, a bowl of fruit, the smell of ripe pears, the clatter of a spoon against porcelain when stirring tea, children’s laughter coming from the garden, soft sunlight & white curtains, the sensation of velvet against skin, pearls from a ripped necklace spilling on marble floor, a sudden silence in a room full of people

THE MASTER AND MARGARITA:   the chaos of a lively city, ambient jazz in an expensive restaurant, jumping on a moving tram, the sight of moscow from the roof of a house, yellow flowers in a vase, leaning out of the window, shelves stacked with books, a small tin box with old photographs, strange shapes in the night sky, laughing in the middle of the night on a balcony, colorful posters for a surreptitious magician’s show floating in the wind

WAR AND PEACE:   a glass of wine, the brightness of  a crystal chandelier, white lace, a raging snow storm, the sound of a door being gently closed, the moment of holding one’s breath before walking in a ball room,indulging in looking at a beautiful earring against light, closing one’s eyes for a moment while dancing, the sweet smell of strawberries, a pair of gloves left on an armchair, the light scent of powder, andrei nikolayevich bolkonsky, gunpowder stuck on skin, smoke inside a burning building, the silence upon returning home, an untranslatable distance, the desperate lure of glory

EUGENE ONEGIN:   a lonely mansion, reading a book in the parlour, a faint piano melody lingering in falling silence, long evenings, passing seasons, discussing french novels of the moment, unspoken thoughts, leaning against the door frame, a quickly averted glance, eating a peach absent-mindedly, bright mornings, footprints in snow, a loud gun-shot terrifying a flock of birds nearby

FATHERS AND SONS:   a birch grove, morning mist, moss-covered stones near a moor, scientific books, white roses, cheap champagne, a shabby pocket-watch, light-hearted irony, a maladroit cello sonata, freshly mowed grass, letting thoughts come & go, a slow yawn, picturesque plates & bowls filled with traditional dishes, drinking tea on the porch

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO: a strange feeling of loss, writing poems in a diary, traveling by train, the hesitation before touching someone’s hand, the gaze of one lost in thought, the warmth of cinnamon, a scarf brightly embellished with flowers, a glass of water, a threadbare jacket, the tempting void, the evanescent serenity of yesterday

CHERRY ORCHARD:   a lone chair in an empty room, falling blossoms, old samovar, the unsettling need for change, a mirror reflecting the full moon, the disappointment of a glossy object turning worthless after second glance, a piano out of tune
