This is my contribution to this year's @ffxvreversebang2024! It was a pleasure to work with Grey to bring life to this moment between Gladio and Ignis.
Read "In the Mirror of the Sea" in the event's AO3 collection.

Trying to break out of art block while cramming school work (that isn't even for my major) means rough self indulgent sketching of middle aged gladnis and messing around with fashion + royalty free stock images.
Gay people dancing and being in love btw. If you even care.

Ignis/gladio with “Did something happen to you that I don’t know about?”
Coming right up!
Tumblr media
Ignis made a face while adjusting his glasses. He tried to avert his gaze from Gladio, but couldn't help but steal a glance. Bruises littered Gladio's face like pieces of an intricate puzzle, and Ignis could feel his mind combing over the possible "what if's" that contributed to such a sorry state. He wanted to ask what happened, but of course, Ignis reminded himself that Gladio and he were still very much in an altercation. Though, he felt tempted to quell his own stubbornness for the sake of his compassionate principals.
After the meeting between the guard and glaive was finished, Ignis approached Gladio. The two walked in silence, until Ignis cleared his throat. Gladio raised a brow, giving Ignis a look before the latter decided to make an inquiry.
"Did something happen to you that I don't know about?"
"Well aren't you nosy," Gladio quipped with a huff. "And last I checked, I was still getting the silent treatment."
"I'm being sincere!" Ignis sighed. "I'd like to put our spat behind us if only for a time."
"Well, you can piss right off." Gladio said as a matter of fact. "It's nothing to concern yourself with."
"Well," Ignis mocked. "It certainly will concern the prince, that his future shield has been compromised due to some external circumstance. I'm sure Noct and the king himself would like to know what went down."
"Why you--" Gladio made a fist and glared at Ignis. He knew he couldn't keep quiet forever about what happened, but he didn't think Ignis would stoop so low as to blackmail. Then again, Gladio knew he shouldn't have thought any less. When Ignis was mad, he didn't yell, scream, or physically attack. No, the man used his brains to get back at his opponent and Gladio knew he was no match in this regard.
"Geez," Gladio rubbed the back of his head, fiddling with his locks before he sighed in defeat. He stopped Ignis from continuing further down the hall, and gestured with his head for them to step to the side.
"This stays between us," Gladio gestured between himself and Ignis. He watched Ignis give an affirmative nod, then gathered his thoughts before speaking up.
"There's this other guy on the guard, Suthers---he's trying to take my place as Noct's shield," Gladio glared thinking about the man. "We got into a spat, some words were spoken, and we fought. It's been going on for weeks now."
Ignis's brows raised. His mouth parted while he remained quiet for a time before he had an epiphany. "That certainly explains his absences of late."
"Yeah, I knocked his ass good." Gladio murmured, mostly to himself. He looked away, seeing the disappointed look Ignis had. "I don't need your pity nor do I need you to judge me for beating him down."
"I'm doing no such thing," Ignis protested. "This does have me worried though, for you. No one can take your place as shield. The king made it clear you were to succeed."
"I know," Gladio furrowed his brows. "But Iggy, the politics of the king and the guard are two separate animals. Regis may have given me his blessing, but I gotta prove I earned it to my comrades."
"This isn't healthy, for either you or Suthers." Ignis remarked sadly. "Surely there's a way we can broach this to the higher powers? I know some folk on the council, should you not wish to approach Noct or the king on this to preserve your dignity."
"You offering to help me out?" Gladio quirked a brow and smirked.
"I could be," Ignis shrugged. "That is, if you're willing to let go of our unfortunate transgressions."
Gladio growled and gave it some thought. Nonetheless, he knew Ignis's heart was in the right place. Always was. The man was as selfless as they'd come in this world. He'd be an idiot not to take the offer, much less forgive his friend.
"Right, I can do that." Gladio nodded. He raised a hand before Ignis could speak. "Let's both promise to never let some chick at court come between us again though, deal?"
Ignis looked at Gladio's outstretched hand and smiled big. He took it into his own and gave a strong shake. Relief washed over Ignis while bitterness left. From this point forward, Ignis promised himself he wouldn't let something so trivial cause a rift between himself and Gladio.
"Deal."

| Chocobros Dating Drabbles |
[ Noctis Lucis Caelum, Ignis Scientia, Prompto Argentum, Gladiolus Amicitia x GN! Reader ]
Tumblr media
TW & CW + Tags: None. No major spoilers mentioned. [All separate pairings. All established relationships. GN! reader.]
Summary: Quick little dating drabbles with each of the chocobros, just overall cuteness and fluff.
[(A/N): Hey hey!! My first FFXV piece. Not requested, but I REALLY wanted to make these since I've started playing recently. No major spoilers please!! I'd appreciate it a lot. As always, enjoy!]
Tumblr media
Noctis:
Noctis loves, and I mean LOVES sleeping. Or napping. He feels at peace in this state and he can rest from the chaos of the world, even for a bit.
With you in his life, expect to be pulled into multiple cuddle sessions with him. On the couch, in a bed, or even in the Regalia. Doesn't matter. If he's going to bed, he's dragging your ass to sleep. And he's not afraid to pout and whine a bit if you refuse.
He's usually the bigger spoon, but he doesn't mind being the little spoon as well. Or any position really. As long as he senses your presence, he'll sleep like a baby.
To Noctis, these are special and soft moments to him. The feeling of your bodies close to one another feels so intimate, yet so sweet. He feels safe and it relaxes his mind to know that you're in his arms. Safe and sound.
Ignis:
Oh Iggy. First off, if you ever ask if you could accompany him by helping in the kitchen, he'd happily agree. How could he not. Don't know how to cook? Don't worry! He'll teach you every you'll need to know.
He appreciates hearing constructive criticism or ideas for a new recipe. Not only does he find it helpful, but it also lets him know that you care about him and his interests.
Something Ignis has grown to love over the course of your relationship; is simply spending quiet time together. Reading books quietly, or you resting your head on his lap while he reads a story out loud to you.
You make him feel at ease. Although it doesn't look like it, being on the road makes him tired. And if he can at least get some quiet, alone time with you, Ignis is a happy man.
Gladio:
Look at this giant and lovable golden retriever. Gladio can be and looks like a tough guy, but he's a softie and a romantic at heart.
Always teasing you. Lightheartedly. He loves seeing you flustered and that man is not afraid to make you do so. But he's also the king of giving you compliments that'll make you swoon.
Gladio would watch Disney movies with you if you asked him to do so. He at first denies that he likes them (secretly loves Beauty and the Beast) but eventually he breaks and will start singing along to the songs.
No matter what, he'll protect you always. He may be the King's Shield, but when it comes to you, he'll keep you safe from any and all danger. Even if it costs him his life.
Prompto:
Aww, the little chocobean. Prompto is literally like a ball of sunshine. He strives to make you smile and laugh, even if he uses bad corny jokes to do so.
Will ask—no, beg you to come to see the chocobos with him. Race with them, feed them, and definitely take a couple of pictures together while you're there.
Speaking of taking pictures, if you let him, Prompto always take snapshots of you whenever he finds the perfect spot to do so. One time in Lestallum, he snuck a quick kiss to your cheek and caught your surprised expression on camera. Needless to say, it's his favorite shot of you.
At the end of the day, he loves you dearly. You bring him so much happiness into his life and give him another reason to keep going. The only thing he could ever ask is this; don't break his heart and leave him behind.

hey-hey! i hope you're doing well, love your writing <3
if you can, could i ask for the ffxv boys (prompto, noctis, ignis, gladio) with a male reader who's in a band? preferably implied to be a poly romantic thing with them (unless you don't do poly, platonic is good!) you can pick whatever format you feel like! :]
☆ our boy's in a band
ffxv boys x male reader [he / him]
sypnosis: above.
the lowercase is intentional !
Tumblr media
"i can't wait to see him!" prompto's voice echoed throughout the halls, he was clearly excited about something. ignis hummed and nodded in agreement, so did noctis.
"yeah, he looked amazing tonight." gladio responded to prompto's comment, letting out a small sigh as an image in his mind appeared about this 'he'.
the men kept walking through the hallways, backstage in a venue. they were all giddy, and practically buzzing with excitement just to see this 'he'.
eventually, the group reached a dressing room. ignis decided to knock lightly on the door, waiting for a response or for someone to open the door for him and the group behind him.
a few seconds pass, but the door creaks open. a man is standing at the other side of the door, looking quite tired but his face lights up as soon as he sees the men infront of him.
"[name]!" the group call out, all rushing to hug the man. they all throw themselves on top of [name], each trying to steal a kiss from their boyfriend.
a light chuckle escaped [name]'s lips as he tried to pull his boyfriend's off. he wanted his space, a little air to breathe and preferably a warning if he was to get crushed once again.
"well it's good to see you all too." [name] finally spoke up, a smile on his face as he looks over at the group infront of him. they all looked back in awe, prompto rushing to hog [name] for himself.
"oh babe! you looked so good out there today! you were so amazing!" prompto cooed, squeezing [name] as tightly as he could before someone else stole him away. [name] smiled at prompto and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "thank you." [name] whispered back.
then, gladio pulled [name] out of prompto's arms so the man could rest in his own muscular arms. "you were so handsome and sexy up on that stage." gladio purred, placing a few kisses to [name]'s neck. [name] responded with a few laughs, finding the way gladio's facial hair scratched his neck to be quite ticklish.
"yes, you were quite fascinating on stage my dear." ignis piped up, walking towards [name] to place a kiss on his forehead. ignis then moved gladio's arms off of [name], worried the poor man might get squished. instead, ignis let gladio hold onto his hand.
noctis was the last one to come up to [name], wrapping his arms around his boyfriend to nuzzle himself in the other man's neck. he seemed to be more tired than [name] even though he wasn't the one performing.
"mhm.." noctis hummed in agreement to what everyone else said previously. he just seemed to be more interested in getting home to sleep, just like [name].
"you two look very tired." ignis comments, taking a look at his partner's faces. there's a small frown wanting to form on ignis' lips. his heart aches as he sees how tired noctis and [name] look. "i guess we should get going now. unless you have to go get your fans to cheer for you again, [name]?" ignis asked, almost as if he was teasing his boyfriend.
[name] rolled his eyes, letting his own arms wrap around noctis. "no, i don't need to have my fans cheer for me." [name] responded to ignis with a hum. "the only people i need to cheer for me are you guys." [name] smirked.
Tumblr media
prompto started to holler at [name]'s words, gladio and ignis joining in with laughs of their own. prompto then practically jumps over to [name], giving him a kiss on the lips. noctis groans and he pushes prompto away, wanting to be the only one in [name]'s arms right now.
"well, if that's the case i think we can go to the car and drive home, yes?" ignis suggests and all of the men nod along to him. "let's go then." ignis continues, taking hold of prompto's hand to drag him to the car.
gladio walked over to [name], shaking noctis off of him to pick up the other man. "a reward for your impressive work today, my prince." gladio smirked, kissing [name]'s forehead and picking him up.
noctis groans once again, glaring at gladio for stealing away his warmth. he just sighed, not bothering with his boyfriend. he just followed him, and his other boyfriends, to the car.
the group walked over to the car, squeezing inside as best as they could. ignis started driving off back home, engaging in conversation with his boyfriends. they all laughed and talked with eachother on the way home.
suddenly, [name] realised something and his eyes widened.
"oh shit. i forgot all my stuff back in the dressing room.." [name] mumbled.
ignis immediately stopped the car and he turned back around. everyone groaned and sighed at [name], shaking their heads.
"[name]!" prompto whined, turning around in his seat and pouting at his boyfriend. "how could you!" prompto continued, acting as if [name] had done the worst thing in the world.
"it's not my fault you guys dragged me out of the dressing room so quickly! it's not my fault you guys wanted to see me and snuggle up to me so badly!" [name] chuckled at prompto. the blonde pouted, turning back around in his seat with his arms crossed over our chest.
"i guess we were just too eager to see our band boy." gladio teased, pressing a kiss to [name]'s cheek. noctis and ignis hummed in agreement, ignis continuing to drive back to the venue.
the group couldn't wait for [name]'s next performance, to have another moment like this. but, they hoped [name] wouldn't end up leaving his stuff again.
- author's note: hope you enjoyed this! this was kind of silly, but i love it. keep requests coming, i love writing requests for you guys :)

Prompto
Tumblr media
this man is so grateful to you
like you are his saving grace
we all know this little dummy will find his way to fall in a ditch and hurt his arm by accident
without you, he'd probably be dead LMFAO
he will always walk up to you and in the cutest little voice be like... "y/n, I hurt my arm again"
and you'll just jokingly sigh and fix him right up
he always asks you about how you do it and all that and finds it really cool that you are able to fix him up with herbs and stuff
and when you cook for him??? he would never tell iggy, but he loves your cooking more ;)
also the fact that you're good with animals makes chocobos love you which means they are always just around you and that makes prompto love you more <3
Ignis
Tumblr media
BRAINROT
you two definitely were the enemies to lovers troupe
like you were competing
you both could cook and take care of the others so it was immediate competition
you were always pushing each other around in a kitchen or whatever
but then you realized it was easier for you to deal with stuff as a team
and ofc you fell in love <3
he thinks you are very talented and honestly, when he's hurt, he will come to you and always feel bad lol
like he will feel like a burdan

Gladio
Tumblr media
this man trusts you with his life
he is always getting beat up and needs you there by his side to help
he appreciates it a bunch
and you'll always call him a big dummy when he gets hurt and then get straight to working on him, but that always makes him blush
make him ramen
please
like homemade stuff
please stop this man from eating cup noodles
but yeah, he is always getting hurt so to watch you work on him and help him out means the world to him
Noctis
Tumblr media
this man gets too embarrassed to tell you he's hurt, so you always have to spot it
omg what a child
you will always get on his ass about that and he'll just be blushing as you work on him
ignis gets mad because you are super nice about Noct being picky and will make him food he enjoys instead of trying to make him something he doesnt like lol
you will baby him a bit because he is the king and he needs to be protected <3
he gets blushy when you do and act like he doesnt like it, but we all know he does <3

ffxv polyship roadtrip passing time making cute shit in the car :D
TYSM FOR THE ASK !!
Polyship!Chocobros x Reader [Drabble- SFW] Braaacelets!
Tumblr media
Another loooong drive was ahead of the group. The lot of you have found a bunch of ways to pass the time roadtripping, some more interesting than others. Today’s time killer? Making bracelets! With Iggy behind the wheel, and honestly, more than happy to sit and listen, the shenanigans ensue. 
“Uhhh, babes?” Prompto called out to the car. “Is this right?” To which one of you? Well.. narrowing it down to the only one of the group who knows a lick about the craft at hand, you answer. 
“Lemme see.” The blonde awkwardly holds up his mess of paracord to you. When making these sort of bracelets, the two working ends need to be even. Sweet sunshine over here had three working strings, which you didn’t know was possible. With a few tugs and a pat on the head for good measure and reassurance, crisis averted. 
“Aaaand you take the opposite side’s string and thread it through the loop you’ve made..” The trio listened carefully to your words, trying their best to imitate. Noct was oddly concentrated for a change, landing it first try. He wiggled his eyebrows at Gladio, who’s large hands have done him dirty. “Mmmm..” He rolled his eyes at the prince. 
You shifted from your tight spot between the two and leaned forward to whisper something to Prompto. “Big.. meaty.. claws..” 
Miles and minutes passed, and the crafting kept going. With questions here and there, it was going well! It made you feel a certain way, seeing your boys take interest in little things like this. For a moment, it makes you forget why you’re on this trip in the first place. As of right now, you were a group of lovers in a fancy car, making bracelets to pass the time. Prince who?
Prompto was making one for Iggy, Noct for you, you for Gladio, and Gladio for Noct. And when there was a pit stop or some traffic, Iggy had started a bracelet for Prompto. He was a quick learner, and made an extra juuust in case.
“Sooo..” Noctis spoke from his perch atop the Regalia. “Y/N, why’d you pick neon pink for Gladdy?” 
Before you could find a joking reply, Gladio butted in. “Because real men wear pink. Bright pink.” 
“It’s like asking why he’s using all black for you Noct!” Prompto made eye contact with him through the mirror. “You know.. Because you’re emo.” 
That one got a laugh from Ignis, who was quickly reminded by Gladio about his own emo phase.

「 Yes, I'm a Gladnis shipper, and yes, it was time to do something of this style that I like so much but that I almost never do, a more erotic art that actually came out more fluid than expected, so I'm simply very happy with this result today, and especially with the cup of the "best mom"🔥
⠀My week has been honestly boring and not the best since I've had a cold, so I haven't done much, class work, playing Minecraft, FFXV (finishing all the dungeons, getting the platinum and completing Ardyn Epsiode... It was painful to put the game disc back into its case after having been playing for over a month), I also received bday gifts from my wife who made me have a great and super happy day, as always she is capable of brightening my existence 🖤 I also played the kalimba, I drew, and on Saturday I finally went outside to have lunch, and that was basically it, we'll see what's coming up next week 👀」

Request:
Anon- Could you do a scenario where the reader (gender neutral please) and Gladio wake up Noct while he’s sleeping?
Warnings: None that I'm aware of - tell me if I missed something!
Waking the Prince
You leaned out of the window of the Regalia, your hands hanging near the bottom of the car as you waited for Prompto and Ignis to return from the store. “It’s so hot,” You whined loudly into the paint of the vehicle. “I think I’m going to melt.”
Gladio, who was content to stay in the back seat and read the last chapter of his book, let out a playful scoff. “The only way you’re going to melt is if someone poured water on you.”
You slid out of the car and onto the ground with a thud, your head popping up almost immediately to look at Gladio accusingly. It may have looked weird to someone else, but to Gladio, it was one of the most amusing things he’s seen all day. “Are you calling me a witch? I’ll have you know, just cause I can cast spells as well as Noct doesn’t make me a witch.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Oh yeah? Then what does it make you?”
You stood up fully, your torso visible from where he sat. “Magical, duh!” Both hands flew up to the sky with a shout as if you were summoning a sky god.
“Yeah,” he laughed. “Very magical. When was the last time you slept?”
You shrugged and brought your hands back down to open the car door and enter properly, considering you were sure that the others would be back soon. “Dunno,” you fought the urge to kick your feet up on the dash. “All my sleep is getting stolen by Noct. I mean look at him-” You turned around to glance at Noctis, who was halfway into the middle seat as he slept. “I have to wake him up just so he can move his ass and I can fit.”
He looked at the sleeping prince once, then put a marker in his book then set it to the side, a mischievous smirk forming on his lips. “Why not wake him up now?”
“HEELLPP!” You screamed, running as fast as you could away from the car and towards the store. “HOOLY SHIT GLADIO YOU DUMBASS HE’S GONNA KILL US!”
Gladio was right behind you, looking equally panicked and amused. “Quit your whining and run, damnit!”
“I AM RUNNING!”
Hearing the commotion outside, Prompto and Ignis summoned their weapons and ran out of the store, expecting an attack of some sorts. They rushed out of the store, only to be tackled by you two and pushed back inside and rushed behind the nearest shelf.
“What’s going on?!” Prompto panicked and you immediately shushed him with a finger to the lips.
“Shush! He’s coming for us!” You despaired. “I’m going to die before I even get to meet Lunafreya! What kind of an end is this?”
Ignis, entertaining the other three, crouched down lower and ushered them to join him. “Y/N, what did you do?”
Your eyes widened. You placed a hand over your heart as if you were just shot by your best friend. Well you were. In a way. “I didn’t do anything this time! It was all Gladdy! I told him not to do it, and now I’m not even going to make it out of the Crown City!”
You ignored the strange looks the customers gave you. Four Crownsguard cowering behind a store shelf to hide from Six knows what; It was definitely a sight to see and one that certainly would happen again once they set out to Galdin Quay.
“This is your fault, Ignis! You’re the one that wanted to stop for curatives!”
Then it was heard- the door to the shop opened, the bell that signals a new customer rang sharply through the air, and both you and Gladio froze.
You peeked through the gap of the shelf, watching as the angry prince stopped to look around the store before folding his arms over his chest.
“Ooh I’m dead. I’m so very very dead.” You panicked as Noct began to observe each and every crevice of the store.
“You said that you had nothing to do with this.” Ignis stated.
Noctis drew nearer, making a show of picking up a random can of Ebony from a stack. He turned it over, glancing over the nutrition label before setting it back on top of the display. You could hear Ignis scoff quietly at his disregard for the staff of the store.
“I did say that,” You hissed as the prince reached the aisle across from the hiding group. “Didn’t I?”
“We all know it was your idea, Y/N.” Gladio may have had a shit eating grin on his face, but he was watching your friend's every move, just like you. He was worried for his life. Just like you.
“Says the one that’s shaking in his boots,” You sneered. “You’re supposed to protect the king, not hide from him because of your bad choices.”
Prompto blinked. “What… exactly happened?”
You jabbed Gladio in the arm with your elbow, barely able to make him stumble like you wanted. “Dumbass over here decided to wake him up.”
“Aand you agreed to.”
With a sigh of exasperation, Ignis began to stand.
“W-w-what are you doing?!” You grabbed onto his leg with desperate hands, pulling him back down with you. “Do you want us to die?! Is that how you repay me for saving your life?!”
He looked forward as he stood fully, the only thing you managed to do was wrinkle his trousers (he’d deal with you later), and met eyes with the very person you were hiding from.
“Specs,” Noctis greeted, his tone clipped. He sounded as if someone killed his father. “Have you seen Gladio?”
You gave the man in question a winning smile. “I told you it was all your fault. You just didn’t want to say anything!”
Ignis cleared his throat. “Just.. Gladio?”
You quickly pushed Prompto to stand so you could hide behind two people. It also helped that Prompto was the definition of a distraction.
“Noct! What’s up?”
“Noct is apparently looking for Gladio. Have you seen him, Prompto?”
Prompto held his hands together behind his head. “Uh- I don’t think so…. Why? Did ‘ya need him for something?”
You motioned for Gladio to start crawling around the opposite end of the shelf, hopefully giving you enough time to escape back to the car and act like nothing happened. He gave you a nod and began to sneak out of the store.
“Alright,” Noct sounded closer, a bit more of a tease in his voice than a bite this time. “Have you seen Y/N?”
You didn’t have the chance to turn to the three people behind you, too focused on escaping the wrath of Noctis. If it’s one thing you didn’t want to be, it would be on the opposite side of his anger, which you were currently on. You hit the bottom of Gladio’s boot to urge him faster (he kicked back in short protest, but hurried on anyway).
“No, I uh… can’t say I have.” Prompto let out a nervous laugh.
“Huh. Shame. I guess I'll just have to….”
Suddenly a pair of thin, pale arms wrapped around your body and pulled you up, forcing you back until your back came into contact with Noctis’s chest.
“Noct! Hey, buddy!” You laughed, nervously patting the arms that were still wrapped around you. “What’re you doing here?”
“Where’s Gladio?” He asked, spinning you around so you faced him instead of Gladio (who made it out completely hidden, good job Gladdy). “And don’t try to lie, Specs can tell when you’re lying.”
You rolled your eyes. “Using my brother to your advantage is really low, Noct. I’m hurt.”
Ignis smirked. “Sometimes I wonder how we’re even related.”
“We’re not, I was adopted. Even a preschooler could have figured that out.”
Prompto had disappeared off to where you guessed Gladio was, leaving you with your bestfriend and your brother, a combination that you’ve experienced a bit too often. By now Gladio would have left the store, meaning you needed to get the hell out of there.
“He’s out by the Regalia,” You put your hands up in surrender, easing your way out of his hold. “Always has been from what I remember.” From the corner of your eye you saw Ignis raise an eyebrow, but he remained silent.
“And if he’s not?”
“If he’s not then you get to play King’s Knight all day and you can skip vegetables at dinner, and -”
“Noctis is most definitely not going to skip anything on his plate tonight!” Ignis intervened, taking the food reins from you the moment you thought you had them.
You shrugged your shoulders. “You’re right. Let’s just go back to the car.”
There it was, just as normal as it could be any day of the week. Prompto was sitting at the driver’s seat tapping the steering wheel to the drums of the music on the radio, and Gladio in his spot in the back, reading the new book series Prompto got him a while back.
“See?” You outstretched your arms in a grand sweeping motion in the direction of the car. “Like I said.”
Noct looked at you, then Gladio, then back to you. “Don’t think you’re out of this one.” He started toward the tank.
“HOLY SHIT GADIO HE’S GONNA KILL YOU! …… FUCKING RUN!!”
“Gladdy,” You whispered to get his attention from the passing rocks on the road. “Hey, Gladdy.”
Gladio glanced at you for a quick second, then looked back towards the road. “What?”
You scooted as far away from Noct as you could, pressing yourself against him. “What did he do to you?”
Gladio sighed through his nose and brought his hand up to pat your head. “You don’t want to know.”
Pouting, you removed his hand and decided to press the issue further. “Please tell me? Pleeeeaassee?”
A raised eyebrow. “You’re not gonna drop this, are you?”
“Nope!”
With a quick glance to the prince, who was more focused on the terrain of Leide more than anything, he opened his mouth to speak. “He-”
POP!
“Prompto, I swear by the Six, what did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything! It just happened!”
“Great. Who’s up for walking the rest of the way?”
“All the way to Hammerhead? Are you crazy?”
....
“Look at the map, it’s just next door.”
“Looks that way, on a map of the world.”
