So the prompt was from a conversation that basically went “wait video games are real in FFXV that means I can play my favourite games haha nice” which devolved “haha the lads reacting to you falling for vidy game characters” and going with it. Basically I took a shitpost prompt and ran with it.

Noctis Lucis Caelum

He is OFFENDED the moment you either say it casually or let it slip. After all he's the one who suggested playing the game together to spend time together, only for you to proclaim your love for one of the characters. To think you'd fall for someone that's not him and admit to it just like that? Preposterous.

In his mind he knows it's all fictional and you truly love him. His heart however? It knows a thing or two about jealousy from even one offhand comment about your new fave video game spouse. There are of course doubts here and there over just how much you truly love him but he tries to ignore them. Success varies depending on his current peace of mind. As best as he tries to keep this jealousy up under wraps, it's hard for Noctis to not subconsciously pout over it.

He knows you love him more than that person on the television screen but sometimes knowing for himself isn't enough and you telling him that your love for him is far greater if not entirely incomparable to that of a fictional character. He knows it's petty and childish, but he will be smug about it. Perhaps even a "Take that!" directed at them.

Takes up to teasing you over it. "Oh look, there's your Prince not as charming as me." whenever they appear on screen. No, the pillow to the face won't shut him up no matter how many times you throw it at him.

Prompto Argentum

He is distraught. Shaken. His own chocobae betraying him like this, in his own home no less. He is quickly reduced into a mess faster than you can add onto your passing comment; "Man I think I'm falling for this character.". He believes his entire love life career has ended then and there. Prompto has been trying to play the game of love and he just got a fatality.

He's known jealousy towards characters before, wishing he was as cool or as smart as them in the past but now he's found a new type: your affection for them. He puffs out his chest and attempts to be ten times cooler ten times braver and ten times more badass than his newfound rival and it's hard for him to be subtle about it.

Prompto does need to be told that it's only a passing fictional crush and your love for him outshines the crush for this character, and always will. Sure they're neat but he's the whole cake with a cherry on top.

Apologises weeks later for his crisis because he progressed further in the game and fell in love with a separate character and understands precisely how you feel. You two bond over your fictional crushes and holding their hands while lounging on Prompto's couch holding each other's hands.

Gladiolus Amicitia

He is indifferent. Partially indifferent. The other part is mildly offended he now has competition he can't square up with face to face. Can this character hold you in their arms? Give you kisses? Take you on long hikes? No? Then what's the point of loving them when he's right there ready to do all that and more.

He can't say much though. He plays a ton of fighting games (and mostly got good at them to wipe the floor with Noctis whenever they played against each other) and Astrals know how many times he's felt a little swoon over either lady or man who could snap his spine in half with no effort. Not to count the same crushes with the same standards from the plethora of books he's read. To protest your crush would make him a hypocrite and Gladiolus most certainly isn't one.

Not to say he doesn't slip in "Bet they can't love you as much as I do." and bringing you closer without a warning and smothering you with all the love only he can give. Nope, not jealousy. Not one bit. "You realise I love you more right?" you ask and he just beams like he heard it for the first time again.

Much like Noctis he will relentlessly tease you over this. No you can't shut him up. No he won't stop. No shoving a pillow in his face won't work like with Noctis and he'll dodge it. But Astrals forbid you find out about his own pile of fictional crushes because it works wonders as a counterattack.

Ignis Scientia

Mostly confused over literal pixels managing to get your affection. Not that he blames you considering his schedule offers little free time but he can't help but find himself… Thinking. The day he admits this "thinking" is his cover up for sulking is the day he will die. A small, horrible little thought wonders if you're finally falling out of love with him. Again, he won't blame you due to his work.

As silly as it is Ignis admits he feels jealousy. To himself only of course. He would rather die than let anyone else know that some fictional person has his heart in a twist over you. Him being so in control over his emotions is his triumph, but after it's been eating away at him after a while it becomes his downfall.

"Did you really think I'd legitimately choose anyone over you?" comes your response after he finally decides to open up what's causing his most recent fowl mood. He knows it's silly. He assumes you know he knows it's silly. Yet hearing those words has him beaming. Hiding the self assured smug smile becomes harder with each passing second.

Won't tease you as bad as Noctis and Gladio, but does make a passing comment every now and then. Though instead of teasing you over your crush, it's more in the ilk of "A shame they're not there to hold you like I am."

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret

She is FLOORED. What do you mean you love them? And what is she? A worm to you? She will be pouting about this and she will be miffed you can't take her seriously when she looks cute doing anything, including pouting. A shame she is very much so guilty of the same thing. You distinctly remember her talking about some muscle bound sword wielding girl in a television show a day before and how dreamy she was, and a week before about some ditzy male character in a book she found cute. She won't win this.

Jealous? Absolutely. Does she try to hide it? Yes and the keyword is try. You easily tell what's up when she's frowning at the television and that character appears. She'll have her few attempts at denying anything but finally caves in and admits that she does in fact envy your feelings for a bunch of pixels no matter how small the affection.

Knows she shouldn't need reassuring that you love her most but that doesn't stop her from revelling it when you confess your undying love. You can tell by the slight puffing up of her chest that she feels a GREAT sense of victory over this.

It's just back and forth teasing and both your fictional crushes turn into a battlefield. It's all a game who can get the other flustered worse and sadly there are no winners when you both end up a mess. It's all good, and the scores are always settled by cuddles right after the battle is fought.

Ravus Nox Fleuret

Frankly he is offended. Granted you cannot tell by his disgruntled look that seems to be ever prevalent no matter his current internal turmoil. He is right there in the flesh and you're fawning over pixels? He just doesn't get it and refuses to. Immediately takes the leap to conclusions and assumes you truly don't love this mess of a man anymore. Laments over his continuous loss and begins coming to terms with his fate of being unloved.

Tries not to be passive aggressive over it but it turns out it’s something easier said than done. Somehow he manages to perfectly convey it without any words - just glaring an impressive amount of daggers at the television screen. Hasn’t felt this jealous since that time before he could even muster up the courage to confess to you and he found out some random Niflheim soldier was chatting you up. At least then his competition was tangible. How was he to prove himself over some funky colours on the screen?

The cat’s finally out of the bag and your suspicions are confirmed when he makes his first ever direct remark: “What’s so great about them anyways.”. His tone absolutely takes you aback; he sounds like a sibling who received a second less worth of attention from a parent. Ravus has to get affirmation that you do in fact love him a whole lot more. Ravus will revel in this little fun fact - or would smug be a better word?

Cannot tease you without feeling jealousy creeping up and he absolutely hates himself for it. And so instead you get little offhand comments such as “Let them best me in a duel and we will see who wins your hand in marriage.�� No varying levels of exasperation in your sigh will deter him, he will refuse to relent.

Ardyn Lucis Caelum

For the most part he is confused. Didn’t really think someone could catch a bad case of the feelings for a fictional character but sometimes it’s best some questions go unanswered. Jealousy? In my Ardyn? It’s… less likely than you think. He knows for a FACT whoever this person is on the screen cannot even begin to compare to what he has. Perhaps their one redeeming factor is not being a walking talking daemon parade and being able to not sting in sunlight but that’s not enough to outshine this package.

Doesn’t stop him from making a big show out of it all. He sees the chance to dramatically drape himself over your lap, lamenting how his one love has been snatched away by this stranger. The antics cannot and will not end.

Doesn’t really need confirmation that you do in fact love him more, but appreciates it when you say it nonetheless. That’s simply proving him right and the only thing he loves more than being right is you. The second bonus is more smugness to throw around. “Oh I pity that poor soul, never knowing what true love feels like. Unlike me, of course.”.

And a pity for you, because he’s found a new weaponised way to tease you with. A whole ten miles farther than Noctis or Gladio could ever wish for, you’d swear he’s writing you some sort of self insert fanfiction on the spot. The pros? He seems to be putting quite a lot of effort into it. The cons? He’s doing it specifically just to fluster you, alongside the things he decides to come up with to achieve that goal.

Aranea Highwind

Her confidence has not wavered since she found out. Or rather, it hasn’t wavered that much. Psh, of course you still love her. Right? Right? Good thing that inner turmoil is kept under wraps. She’d much rather an Astral strike her down where she stands rather than have to admit she has beef with a fictional character you just so happened to take a liking to.

Gets all in a little jealous twist wondering exactly what she’s missing. What does that pixelated rando have that she doesn’t? A physical body for one and that leaves her ever so slightly questioning her lover capabilities. Has she failed? Is this how it ends? You somehow ride off into the sunset with this character somehow materialised? What a life to live and this shall be her legacy.

Her act gets thrown off and while normally concerning, this time you’re grateful so you can pinpoint just what’s on her mind. She may huff all she wants but there’s not much one can do caught red handed. Logically she knows she doesn’t need that affirmation but emotionally? By the Astrals does she wanna hear it. “You do realise… I love you more right…?” Damn right you do. Her confidence has reached astronomical new levels.

There is no grandiose teasing but there is a few smug comments. Her goto is looking at the screen and tutting; “A shame they’ll never be me, huh babe?”. Absolutely takes is as a competition and knows she can win every battle by simply stating that she can do it ten times better, and will do it now given the chance.

A Day in The Life of Prompto Argentum, Part One

Set during the days at Insomnia, before the treaty.

Prompto wakes up at six in the morning, every single day. Noct doesn’t understand how he does it.

The lava lamp glows brightly in his still slightly dark bedroom, the light decorating the walls and the ceilings. He takes a moment to breathe as he watches the patterns shift.

He then gets up and opens the curtains, letting the early morning light filter through the glass. He lets the warm sunlight seep into his skin to start his day. He ain’t sunshine kid for nothing.

He takes out his camera to take pictures of the light -- he loves natural lighting so starting the day with such a delightful thing adds an extra spring in his steps.

He snaps a couple of selfie photos, too. Even mirror selfies. He looks good, but he never posts any of them.

He takes goofy ones and sends them to the guys in their group chat.

Good morning, fellas! Rise and shine! Prompto here saying, get outta your beds and get yoh bums movin’! I’m talking to you, Noct!

He proceeds to cleaning up his room. He folds his blanket, fluffs his pillows and turns on his stereo for his early pick-me-up music.

Feel good music echoes in his bedroom all throughout the rest of the house, followed by some hiphop music to get his blood pumping.

He jumps into the bathroom for a quick shower.

He sings as he scrubs his body clean with his fruity body soap. Hashtag sorry not sorry, y’all.

Does light stretching before he eats his breakfast.

Breakfast consists mostly of cereals and milk. If he has time to prepare his meals, he’ll eat any of the following:

granola with yogurt and fresh fruits, cheesy mushroom omelettes, bread with either organic fruit jam or just plain butter, pancakes with bananas or blueberries, salad with vinaigrette dressing and lemon water, a staple drink for every Prompto meal.

He yearns for some Scientia-style breakfast though. That man knows how to get Noct up in the morning with his divine food. Such sorcery.

Does some jogging around the neighborhood if he feels like it. Most days he has enough workout at the Citadel during training, though.

He walks to the Citadel every day as a light pre-workout exercise. He likes to take in his surroundings. He snaps a couple more photos along the way.

He greets the people he knows, particularly the elderly owners of the bread store before the big avenue filled with high rise office buildings. They kept their old house. Prompto takes shots of them as they wave them good morning.

Drops by the convenience store to buy some snacks that Ignis forbids Noct to partake. He’s such a supportive friend, isn’t he?

Iggy called it an ‘inconvenience store’ ever since he found out this unforgivable betrayal of trust.

Prompto likes to buy some of those gachas too, especially if they have those cute little monsters. He freaked out once, err twice, when they released Chocobo and Moogle themed ones.

He got Iris a moogle, much to her satisfaction. He once got a tonberry gacha and without hesitation, gave it to Ignis.

‘Awww, Iggy! Look at the knife he’s holding. So very you!’

‘Pray I don’t waggle it in front of you.’

Iggy still doesn’t forgive him for smuggling unhealthy food to Noct.

The moment he arrives at the Citadel, the contraband package of chips, sodas, sour gummy worms, hotdogs and others is gracefully and secretly deposited at Nyx’s locker.

The Glaive is all too happy to do some underground work for the sunshine kid. Nyx hands it to Noct during break time with amazing stealth that even Cor would be so proud of.

By the time Noct finishes eating breakfast with his father, he and Prompto then proceed to chill in his ‘study’ room. They plan their day together. Or shenanigans, more like.

They’d even plan their disguise, too. Poorly done though, because Jared, even with his poor eyesight, can see them through their disguise. They think they’d escape the Crownsguard’s watchful gaze, but nope. Cor’s got eyes everywhere. Brrrr….it’s chilling just to think about it.

Mid-morning hails the start of Crownsguard training with the marshal himself. Stamina training, endurance training, stealth training, combat training, weapons training — every damn training there is available all over Eos.

His least favorite day is ‘Cor Day’ where he gets to hone his ‘Core’ skills and muscles. Brutal training, Cor Days. Like, totally savage.

Next up is Battlefield tactical training done by V. Thankfully so, Prompto thought.

Famous last words by Prompto Argentum: At least she ain’t too harsh like Cor.

Too bad for him and the bros because V is SAVAGE with battlefield combat. Unforgiving too.

She uses every damn thing in the room against the prince and his friends. They had to use whatever stealth they can use just to evade her traps and attacks. She makes it look like some kind of game too, sometimes. It’s tough going against an actual immortal, eh?

Her favorite target? Sunshine kid himself.

Cor’s training, infamously known as ‘Cor Day’ for core training, is befitting of the frightening title. Aside from combat with weapon sessions, he also handles all the other training sessions too, to which he is equally as merciless as his partner in savagery, V. He makes it extra hard for everyone during the morning.

Prompto is also his favorite target. The reason? The kid never grew up with the same kind of training that the other bros underwent through all these years. It is essential for his survival. Cor and V makes sure he gets the similar skills that the others have. Prompto doesn’t know this yet.

Sunshine Kid’s confused.

Prompto: Did I do anything to offend them? I mean, it’s not like I made a joke about either of them within their earshot.

Noct: Actually you did.

Prompto: *snickers* No way.

Gladio: Yeah, Cor overheard it. Remember your joke about how many lines Cor has on his face?

Noct: You said you probably couldn’t count, cause he’s immortal and all.

Prompto: Oh damn.

Ignis: Damn is an understated reaction, to be quite honest.

Noct: And the next day too! You said the marshal’s wearing some sort of makeup to cover it.

Prompto: Holy sh*t he heard that too?!

Gladio: Yep. He made you run around the whole perimeter of the Citadel fifteen times within five minutes. He ain’t bad-ass for nothing.

Ignis: And failed miserably too, if I may add.

Prompto: Like who does that anyway?!

Gladio: Anyone who irks the marshal, I guess.

Prompto never questions why he’s being the target of the marshal anymore since then, nor does he make any jokes about him. At. All.

V tells him it’s okay, that Cor doesn’t mind. The man needs to loosen up a bit anyway, she said.

Prompto: Easier said than done. He’s going to kick my butt for it...again!

What’s wrong with these immortals?! Prompto complains as he saw Cor and V in the other room, coming up with new ways to ‘torment’ them in training. He’ll have to prepare himself for the next session, then.

He then proceeds to ask Ignis to make him some of his meals that boost strength. Ignis tuts, saying that he can only cook, and can’t do magic.

Don’t be fooled by that sweetness. V may not look like it, but she’s as merciless like her partner during training.

Oh boy. Chocobos help me. He can imagine the marshal and V up in the training room, armed with their usual look of savagery. Prompto doesn’t look forward to the next training.

I had to cut this one into two parts. I clearly had too much writing for Prompto, I suppose. I’m currently writing ones for the others as well. I hope you like it! X
