He was alone sitting in front of the prince's Sheild. Gladiolus Amicitia, a man he'd grown to love like a brother over the past five years that he'd been friends with the prince. Oddly enough Ignis and Noctis had left them alone, to get some simple curatives. So Gladio seemed to take the chance to be a bit flirty, which Prompto had grown used to at this point. Yet his stomach turned at the idea of everything, after all the blonde was still questioning his sexuality.

So the flirtatious words that fell from Gladio's lips made him flush. He needed to get himself in check and not show outwardly how much he enjoyed the words. "G-Gladio I'm the furthest thing from cute! N-Noct is what people would consider cute!" He huffed out the words, his bottom lip falling down in a pout.

Without even thinking he shifted himself on the seat so that he was lingering slightly above Gladiolus, lips turning up into a grin. Bright blue hues lifted to meet with amber ones that reminded him of the sunset. "Stop flirting with me! Unless you intend to act on it!" He was attempting to joke back with the much larger male, little did he know that this would start something he wasn't entirely ready for.

Picnic

@firelightfanfare

There weren’t many havens near the farm, so Andromeda believed she was approaching the correct one. What were the chances that there happened to be a real hunter in the area, and happened to be cooking something that smelt good? 

The smell tipped her off that lunch would be appetizing after all. Even so, she brought along a large bowl of egg salad, just in case. Between the onions cooking with the chickatrice, and the onions in the salad, Andromeda hoped it wouldn’t be too much. 

It hadn’t sat well with others when she announced that she would be visiting a stranger in the woods. But she was a grown woman who could make her own choices, and take care of herself if things got out of hand. 

Andromeda hoped to learn how Gladio could summon swords, and perhaps show him a trick of her own. Maybe they had similar stories. It would be nice to be able to share her experience with someone.

It was rare that the Glaives interacted with the Crownsguard, for they even had separate training grounds. However, at the end of the day Loqi mistakenly bumped into one in the hallway and instantly growled once he saw it was someone tall. Anyone even close to six foot was enough to get him angry for merely existing, Gladio was practically a giant. 

“Is there a problem?” He snapped, dropping his Kingsglaive coat to the ground instead of carrying it over his shoulder as he had been. “Let me take a wild guess; you couldn’t ‘see me’ down here is that it?”

Fallen For You // firelightfanfare

@firelightfanfare

Noctis looked upon the moon with a love and longing none could understand. To think only two years prior he had flown among the stars, lighting them and placing them for Her. But he had dropped a star to the planet below and in his quest to retrieve it he met a woman named Luna. And he forgot his duties. The angel fell for her and then.. he fell entirely.

His wings hurt and he had no form. Luna said he was meant to love another and that was the reason for all that happened. There was a vessel but it wasn’t in this place where she lived. So he had to search for it with her to guide him where he needed to be. Their journey took a long two years before they found exactly where he needed to be. In a city called Insomnia there was a young man in a hospital bed who shared Noctis’ name. He turned away from the window and toward the bed where the human lay in a coma.

As the angel stood over the body he could tell no soul resided in it and never had. He looked just like him. Nervous blue eyes moved to look over at the blonde woman. “What if it doesn’t work?” His voice was tight with fear and uncertainty. “I don’t want to be a demon.”

“Noctis, dear.” The woman stepped closer to the bed and pushed long black hair out of the vessel’s face. “Your mother Moon made him for you. You were Her favorite child and She knew one day you would want to see new things. That you were curious and bright. And She knew one was born who was meant to be with you. You will not become a demon for your mother will never let you.”

He was still afraid but if She wanted this for him then he would do it. With a shuddering breath he reached out.. and then his eyes burst open. A deep breath of air filled his lungs as the monitors around him, memories of his vessel’s childhood flooded him and Luna stood in the doorway shouting.

“Nurse! We need aid in here!”

Whoo Me why don’t you? (Continued)

@firelightfanfare

Mia couldn’t help but smile at the feeling of Gladiolus arm around their shoulder. They were sure they looked ridiculous given the height different, but also as they looked up through at him while he talk Mia could have sworn he was blushing. Could be the heat, but in their heart, he was totally blushing. 

“Yeah dude, lets head back. I, for one, am starving, but also I would KILL to see what an actual back stage looks like yeah know.” Mia was more then happy to hang out with Gladio, but damn they were at a legit concert! Backstage all that tech, the production, THE GUITARS. At least Mia hoped for instruments. Some concerts where more theatrics and mostly pre-recorded these days. It all depended on what kind of performer Noctis was.

Mia followed Gladio along to the back stage where there eyes were first drawn to the catering table. They were pretty sure their stomach audibly growled. As the passed by the table Mia reached over and snatched up a large roll with some of meat in it and shoved an entirely too large bite into their face. 

Mia stopped dead in their tracks. It was the most delicious, whatever it was, Mia had ever had. “This ain’t normal people food huh?” Mia said as they shoved another bite into their face. They probably looked like a goblin, but in the moment, it was just them and this meat roll.

(I can't tell which blog is asking this and idk how to switch it but this is from Gladio and feel free to tag my gladio blog for the response! Sorry! *Cringes*) Sup, Cindy? How's the world treating you? It's been a while.

“ Makin’ an appearance? Y’all need t’ visit more! ” She wasn’t going to mention that she had a job for them all lined up and ready. At least, not yet. It was better to hang around first, take a breather. She couldn’t imagine what they’ve been through.“ World’s been treatin’ me just fine. Though, can’t say the same for y’all. Been rough out there? ”

“R-really?” Viveka’s voice softened, looking at her hands in the glow of the firelight. She sighed quietly, he was right. Humans don’t have talons like she possessed, They certainly didn’t have naturally pink hair, tails, or glowing eyes that could light the way in the dark. But the good doctor always said that those qualities were what made her special.

“I’m not really the ripping type. Though, the bad doctors liked to put me up against my own kind and bigger creatures when I was disobedient, so I guess I know how. Up until just a few years I ago I only ate vegetarian meals. The good doctor gave me my first cheeseburger last year. It was marvelous!”

The mention of food made her stomach growl loudly in protest, demanding sustenance. She giggled with embarrassment and wrapped her arms around her middle to try and conceal some of the noise. “Now that you mention it, I am pretty hungry. Do you have cheeseburgers? Or-....or what was that stuff the good doctor brought me. It was a cup full of deliciously flavored worms!”

Tali smirked thinly at Gladio’s suggestion this wasn’t an interrogation, shrugging lightly as she sipped at her coffee. 

“I’ve been grilled in far worse places, though not by such esteemed individuals,” Tali noted, doing her best to keep the tone light before it went too flat.

“My knowing the chancellor didn’t give me away right off, huh?” Tali ventured as Gladio sipped at the brew she’d brought. “All that can of worms should involve the others - it’s not easy for me to discuss, anyway.

“As for my contract - I never met King Regis, that job was worked out through middlemen. If I had to guess - he knew what was coming, with the treaty and ceasefire. That it would be up to the prince to put a stop to Niflheim, though I doubt it’s only that by now. If you’d known, that’d be a security risk. I’m outside the Lucian hierarchy and...I know the upper levels of the Empire fairly well. I’ve got enemies that would love to kill me, and if they knew I was working for the Blood Royal...”

Tali shrugged then.

“Why me is easy - I’ve been a hunter for over twenty years. And I’ve made...decisive strikes against the Empire for myself. Depending on who asked and who they wanted removed.”

Tali finished off her cup, looking briefly to Gladio as she fidgeted slowly.

“Believe me: I’m as much an enemy of the Empire as you and the rest. You don’t have to trust me. I don’t even have to travel around with you. But our goals are the same: keeping Noctis alive and strong. Maybe I’m not getting paid anymore, but...it’s personal.”

Tali pursed her lips even as Ardyn’s smirking face flickered in her mind’s eye. The sardonic look in his eyes. As though he hadn’t even recognized her. Like when the door opened to him and the MTs so long ago, the gunfire echoing - Tali closed her eyes and forced the memory back.

“...it was always personal.”

Early Morning Hiking

@firelightfanfare

Andromeda had come to the farm in Duscae while in a summer work program for troubled teens who had nothing better to do when they weren’t in school. It had become her preferred place to be, easily helping her remember why she was attending university in the first place (it could be difficult to remember while attending lectures in a suffocating city). 

She was no longer considered troubled, but she still wanted to help out when she could. The university didn’t offer many summer courses for her sophmore year; the little bit of coursework Andromeda had could be sent to her professor through the Internet. Her summer plans were full of sowing and reaping. 

Rising early in the morning, she went out into the forest. On an earlier hike, she had found a patch of wild onions much like the ones she remembered gathering with her grandmother as a child. For as many times as she had trekked the forest, this was her first time seeing them. 

It wasn’t difficult to find them again. Andromeda had to wonder if she shared her grandmother’s knack of finding these plants. The patch was large--at least a couple of yards long. If she took a bushel or two, new shoots would easily take over in the next spring. 

She set to work for several minutes with a trowel, digging in gently to not damage any bulbs underground. She also took time to brush off any clumps of dirt--all the less to clean when she got back to the farmhouse. 

Andromeda hadn’t heard any footsteps until it was almost too late. It wasn’t uncommon to run into hunters in these parts, especially ones that had been hunting all night and wanted shelter and rest. She didn’t make too many observations of this man--just that his path would cross the onions. 

“Careful!” She warned. What good would it do to have this man tromp over the plants with his big clumsy feet?

Noctis had been sleeping for a little while to combat the fatigue caused by trying to fully combine with his vessel. It seemed that he was weakened by the connection since the vessel itself was fairly weak, making him quick to tire and easy to get cold.

He rubbed tiredly at his eyes as he sat up just a bit. The other man looked tired. Of course he’d gotten absorbed in another novel he’d brought and lost track of time. That was so like his new friend. “I wouldn’t mind you reading it to me.” Came the sleepy reply. “You can join me up here if you want; I don’t take up much room and I’m really cold.”

The younger looked over at his friend, eyes peeking from behind the loose strands that had fallen from his braid. He didn’t want Gladio to leave just yet. “Tell him you spent the night with a friend because you lost track of time. It can’t be too bad after that... Right?”

“  guess you’ll just have to fight me.  ” From Gladio!! Lmao

@firelightfanfare

Mia threw back their shoulders in an attempt to look larger then they actually were. While it added maybe an inch to their usual slumped self, standing at five foot compared to Gladio’s six foot six, they looked as if they were David about to fight the Goliath.

“I have you know,” Mia said with the confidence and swagger of a man twice their size who’d seen battle, “that not only did I survive all of my school bullies; I’ve also lived a whole two years on the street so you know what that means.”

With a cocked head and a raised brow Gladio responded, “No, what does that mean?”

“I’ll absolutely kick you in the balls.” Mia said as the round back a foot to make a strike. 

Unfortunately for them Gladio was a better trained then the average creep or school bully and caught their foot with one hand, leaving Mia to hop around. 

“Alright, so I didn’t exactly foresee this outcome.” Mia had to use their arms to keep themselves balanced. “Can I get a do-over? I can do better.”

Gladio relinquished the ankle in a way that Mia had to quickly scramble to not fall over. They situated themselves and this time, decided a lunge at Gladio was a much better plan.

It was not. 

This time Gladio easily side stepped out of the way and got Mia by the waste. They were dangling as he held them off the ground, their arms pinned to their chest. Mia attempted to swing their legs back, but their height and his natural strength, there was simple not match.

Mia huffed, they had lost. “FINE! You can have the last ice cream sandwich.” 

Gladio did that laugh that simultaneous made Mia blush, and yet, more frustrated. “Nah, I think I’d rather split it with you.”

@firelightfanfare:

Gladiolus shrugged and offered Cindy a rather sheepish look. “Yeah… Sorry for not showing up more often… You know how Princess gets. Travel five miles and suddenly it’s ‘let’s go do this!’ or 'let’s see what’s up with that thing!’.” He shook his head with a soft roll of his eyes. “The list of things to do piles up before you know it…” He cocked his head, admiring the car Cindy had been working on just moments before. “Whatcha got going on over here?”

She smiled, head tilting to the side as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. Hands rested on her hips, nodding along with what he had to say. She wouldn’t mind going out and traveling the way they did but a part of her felt rooted to this spot. And when night came around, she shuddered at the very thought of being anywhere but Hammerhead. Perhaps it was comfort that kept her inside her little bubble. Either way, she didn’t need to travel to get work done; the work came to her.

“ Oh, this old thing? ” Excitement ever present, she took a few steps toward the vehicle, hand resting on the hood. “ The feller came by, sayin’ he had this rare car, Insomnian made. I just had t’ get a look! Insomnian technology is too good t’ pass up! ” She turned back to Gladio. “ Needs some work t’ get it back t’ full glory. It runs but not like it used to and that’s where I come in! ” Lips pursed and brow furrowed for a moment, thumb and index finger stroking her chin in thought before the idea came to her. “ How’d you feel about takin’ her out fer some joyridin’? I gotta see what this baby can do before I start workin’ on her. ”
