How would the boys react to knowing their S/O was in Insomnia when it fell. Then when they try to get ahold of then there’s nothing but relieved to find them with Iris.

backseat-imagines:

• We already saw the way in which Noctis acted when the news first spread to him about Insomnia’s fall, and when he heard the words that Regis and Luna were also killed. And he suspected you had suffered the same fate, and he held the same kind of anger and sadness for that too.
• But then news kicked up of Luna’s survival, how Marshall had made it out, and so had some others. So Noctis started to keep up some hope that you somehow had made it. Even if your line was still dead.
• It’s not until after fully departing with Cor that Noctis receives a strange number he doesn’t recognize. At first he debated ignoring it, it could have been a wrong number, but something tugged at him to answer it.
• “Hello?” He answers. “Noctis, is that really you?”
• The whole trip gets delayed for a little while because he ends up spending a good long while on the phone with you. Listening to how you managed to get out with Iris, and how that was mostly thanks to her father. But at that point you were not too sure of the fate of his father, or what of Lady Lunafreya. And it breaks your heart to hear his voice solemnly drop when he confirms of what happened to Regis.
• But after that he promises that they’ll start heading over immediately.

• Ignis does find quite a bit of worry resting on his shoulders. Though he hides it very well.
• He loses a slight bit of sleep over it. But outside of that he ends up focusing harder and harder on the tasks at hand just to distract himself better.
• But once left on his own for just a few minutes, Ignis finds himself calling your phone and hoping for an answer instead of an automated voice saying that you can’t be reached.
• In all honesty, after a few days of this he actually starts to become more irritable and his fuse gets just a tad bit shorter.
• But that all changes once Noctis gets a call from Iris and how by some lucky miracle Iris made it out with you, alive. Though he wishes both phones could have been passed, Ignis was still content with the fact that his fears weren’t true.
• Ignis won’t be too pushy about it, but he will urge Noct that perhaps they should cut down even further on how much they are dawdling and urge for him to go to Lestallum all the quicker.

• Oh the big guy starts to lose it at first.
• Gladio is actually a bit upset, and he hides that behind a veil of anger. And his temper is on a much shorter fuse.
• Though not much could have been done about Insomnia, he still kicks himself over you; wishing he would have let you come with when you had asked about it. Hell he wished he would have been back there, again, temporarily because maybe then he could have gotten you out himself. He even expressed this to Ignis, but Iggy was right; there was no use in blaming himself or playing with “what ifs”.
• Frankly, he gets awfully tired of throwing that pity party for himself even. So his time of snapping quells back into quietness. He might not be acting out quite like he was, but everyone knew the big guy still wasn’t being quite himself still.
  But then they get over to Lestallum and find Iris. And she’s quick to grab her brother by the wrist and lead him, saying “I have a big surprise for you!” and she leads him right to where you are.
• Gladio finds a wave of relief washing over him. But at the same time he’s still a little mad because why did neither you or Iris inform him of your survival before instead of letting him sit there and worry and fester?

• Prompto was upset when everything went down in Insomnia. Home was lost, and so were many innocent lives. Not only that, but he knew you had been in there too when all this went down.
• He tries to not show how upset he is, because honestly he’s just trying to hold himself together at this point. But the moment one of them brings up, “Wait, wasn’t y/n still back there” is when that comes crashing down.
• Ignis tries his best to comfort Prompto while still giving him space. Noctis tries to as well, and tries to find ways to distract him. And Gladio quickly snaps on him that crying won’t change anything and it certainly won’t bring you back, so he needs to put his head back in the game.
• Eventually it’s Prompto who gets a call from Iris. She never goes out of her way to call him much so it comes as a surprise. “How are you holding up?” She asks. And even though Prompto doesn’t want to lie, he also doesn’t want to worry Iris; he says he’s fine. “Well it’s time to turn that fine into a good because I have a surprise for you! Hang on!”
• And then all of the sudden he hears someone else on the line, “Hello! Did you miss me?” and he’s ready to cry because you are ALIVE and he’s so happy for that.
• Prompto quickly asks you for a  location, and he ends up making a demand for the group to go where you and Iris are a.s.a.p. And you can bet as soon as they get there that Prompto is going to pull you into the tightest hug he can muster and pepper kisses all over your face.
