hmm… not sure if you’ve done this before but how about the bros with s/o they’ve known since childhood who realize they’re in love with them only after they rescue them from kidnapping and gets hurt in the process?

Noctis:

He’s waiting for them to wake up, to tell them how much they mean to him.
It had been late in the day when he gets a phone call from their phone, right before the sun dips below the horizon.
He answers and expects their cheerful voice to be the one on the line.
Instead, he’s met with the voice of someone who holds a grudge against his father for letting the empire take so much.
Their act of revenge? Taking away someone they know he values.
The phone call ends when he hears their voice shouting for him to stay away.
Instead, he goes to Ignis and lets him know that his friend is in danger.
No one argues, each of them eager to save them. They drive all through the night to the place he last knew they had been, and start from there.
It takes them three days. Three days of the absoute worse scenarios running through his head of what’s befalling them.
So when they finally track down their captors, he unleashes hell. Even though it’s nighttime, the air is lit up with each of their attacks.
But he doesn’t notice the sharp shooter stationed above them on a nearby ridge.
But his dear friend knows. Even though they’re weaponless and in pain, they make the choice to protect the prince.
The shot rings out as the last kidnapper falls to them, and they all freeze. Each of them are eyeing each other with panic.
Who was that meant for?
But then he sees them standing behind him, facing out into the night air with an expression of concentration.
Prompto is the first to see the glint of a gun, and shouts, “Sniper!"
He fires before the other moves, knowing he’s the only one to make the shot.
And when they’re all sure the danger has passed, they all smile at one another.
The happiness doesn’t last.
His friend suddenly crumples, and none are near enough to catch them before they hit the ground.
Their eyes are fluttering closed as they press their hands to their stomach.
It’s a close call. They almost lose them in the time it takes them to dig out a potion.
They hadn’t awoke though.
They had set up camp and were just waiting for them.
What had given Noctis time to think.
He thought about how terrified and upset he’d been during the days they had been searching for them.
The elation he felt when they had reached them before anything truely horrendus had happened.
The utter terror he felt when they had fallen to the ground and nearly vanished from his life forever.
He needed to tell them everything.
Maybe then they’d understand that his feelings had progressed to something beyond friendship.
So much so, that he’d told the others that they would be traveling with them from now on. Clearly, someone had let it slip that they were important to him. Too important to be out of sight.
~
They do wake up, and he does tell them after helping them sit up.
They don’t respond at first, and Noctis can slowly feel his heart sinking.
But then they lean forward and press a kiss to his cheek.
"It’s about damn time.”
(They’re super pissed about having no choice in staying, but can’t find it in their heart to stay angry at the prince.)

Prompto:

It was supposed to be a nice day outside. One of the few times they were all together again.
They were one of his friends from before…Well, Noctis. One he had lost contact with when the city fell.
It was the first time they’d all gotten to see each other after bumping into each other in Galdin Quay of all places.
So when the MT’s attacked, it was wholly unwelcome.
Even more so when they realized that their target was THEM.
They didn’t even think to question why they were after them, choosing to focus only on defending.
But they were over whelmed, and beaten. Prompto tried his best to hold onto them, as they had found their way into each others arms as they fell into unconsciousness.
He drifted in and out of consciousness, aware he was grasping them tightly one moment, feeling them jerked away from him the next, and watching them fight as best they could from their place over a MT’s shoulders in the last.
He passed out fully then, waking only hours later after a phoenix down was used on him.
They set out to find their taken friend, even getting Aranea’s help on locating where the ship was.
Noctis warped over and gained the rest of them access.
Ignis was the one sneaking around to find them while they caused as big of a distraction as they could on the ship.
Upon finding them, Gladio gave the signal for them all to get off. He was going to crash this thing into the sea. (He does and barely makes it out, but it was kind of fun to him.)
They’d been in their hands for less than 24 hours, but clearly they had fought tooth and nail to escape.
They were out cold, and Ignis guessed that it was because they had been drugged after not settling down.
So they wait. And sure enough, they wake up.
Without thinking his arms are wrapped around them, and he’s babbling about how scared he was and that they weren’t allowed to do that ever again and that he’s probably never going to let them out of his arms ever again so they should get comfy-
They’d rest their head on his shoulder and laugh, and it’d send chills up his back because he can feel their breath on his neck.
He doesn’t really get around to telling them, but he does indeed realize that he really loves them.
(They guess though, since he literally doesn’t let them out of his arms for very long while they’re with him.)

Gladiolus:

It’s in the form of a note left in Lestallum with Iris.
Apparently, they’d been on a hunt alone, and taken unawares by opportunists. Ones who were convinced that since they knew how to fight and spoke with the same refined accent as Ignis, they must have been someone important before the city fell.
And though they hadn’t wanted to say anything, after the fourth day they had cracked, and mentioned Gladio’s name as their friend, and mentioning he’s from a noble house.
The note also says that they refused to say which house he was from and mentioned that he wasn’t going to come for them. So they were going to test that by asking Gladio to bring them enough Gil for their ransom.
If he doesn’t bring it they’re dead.
Like hell he’s going to leave his friend with them. Considering they were Iris’ friend too, she asks to come with.
(There’s such a startling look in her eye that he allows it.)
But the time line. They had until the morning of the 8th day of them being held hostage. It was now the seventh day, and he curses himself.
They quickly gather what they need for an assault, because there’s no way in hell he’s giving them money and letting them get away with this.
(He also a little freaked out about what they meant by ‘they broke on the fourth day’. Were they hurt?)
They all pile into the car and go to where they wanted to meet him, and he goes alone. Or so it seems. Truthfully, the others are somewhere sneaking in behind him.
The first sight he gets of them has him seeing red.
They’re laying on the ground knocked out, black and blue. He can make out half healed cuts and a possible broken arm. (He can’t bear to look at their hands.)
He states that he’s hear for them, and then lashes out instead.
The other join in the fray and the kidnappers are overwhelmed. Most flee. But the leader?
He’s on the ground at Iris’ feet, an almost too sugary sweet smile on her face.
He scoops his friend off the ground and they leave to go back to Lestallum to allow them to recover after being healed.
When they awake, it’s from a nightmare. They swing at Gladio and he has to restrain them without hurting them because they’re fighting too violently and won’t listen to reason.
Iris steps in and her face snaps them out of their waking dream.
They don’t go into too much detail, and apologize for the trouble, letting a mask slip back over their face.
He gets upset that they’re just going to pretend it didn’t happen.
He asks to speak to them alone, and the others leave.
It is then he confesses that while he didn’t realize it before, seeing them on the ground had forced him to confront that he cared for them.
They sniffle, and say they didn’t want to be a distraction and had forced their own feelings away.
He spends the rest of the day just cradling them. He’d figure out everything else later, but for now, he was content with them in his arms.

Ignis:

He’s a little shocked when he finds their phone abandoned on a haven. And then he grows concerned when the last thing in the memory is a video of them during the night, recording themself.
They look disheveled, more so than he’d ever seen them. And it seemed like they hadn’t slept in days.
They speak quickly into the camera of someone following them. Of the paranoia they felt.
“If I go missing, please. Find who did this.”
They then set their phone down, hidden but with a clear view and wait their attacker. And it turns out they weren’t parinoid. Someone does come for them.
They fight tooth and nail, but whoever this was had an advantage. They were clearly well rested compared to them, and had been planning this.
So they, in an unexpected move, rip off their mask and start listing details. Committing them to memory the attacker must assume, but truthfully, it was for the camera recording to pick up. Ignis turns off the video, and gets to work.
It turns out, there’s a string of missing people that match his friends description. But this is the first time one of them was smart enough to leave a clue behind.
He hurries to find them when they mention that when these missing people were found, none were alive.
He takes the others with him to comb through the woods where they had slain deadeye, because that’s where most of the bodies had turned up. At first people had assumed it was the beast at work, but after a group of hunters had slain it (Cough cough) the real reason behind the bodies was revealed.
It is there they find them, one the ground and limp, pale as death and barely breathing.
They get them up and heal them as best they can, waiting for them to awaken, or for the person who took them to return.
Upon waking up, they grab onto Ignis’ sleeve, like they had when they were younger, and says nothing.
When they calm own, they let go and say that the man left them for dead because the wouldn’t shout in pain no matter what he did.
Ignis just gathers them into his arms and holds them, because they are shaking rather badly.
He loves them, he has know this for a while. This is just the first time he’s forced to acknowledge it. He knows that they cannot be anything more than friends. But he allows himself this. Holding them until the fear disappears.
(He also swears, that he’s going to hunt down the man who did this and ensure he never does it again.)

Scenarios for when the Chocobros crush falls asleep on them and doesn’t realize while she’s asleep that she cuddles against them and mumbles how much they like them in their sleep? :3 Take your time with the requests, your blog is awesome!

Noctis:

He freezes when he heard the words leave their mouth in a whisper.
They had been watching a movie, and at some point in time his crush had ended up leaning against him, and allowed him to have his arm draped over their shoulders.
He slowly turns his head, his face dusted with pink. Maybe he had imagined it?
But then they say it again, followed by how much they love his smile and how they wished he’d smile more often.
He tries to meet their eyes after shifting in such a way that they’re facing each other while they’re still rested against him.
They’re asleep. A part of him is relieved that they aren’t awake to witness how flustered he’s getting.
Another part of him is disappointed that they likely wouldn’t remember that they basically told him they liked him.
He plots for the next day, to surprise them with a date and officially asking them out.

Prompto:

It started out with simply laying with each other in the park, cloud watching. He’d occasionally take a few picture, but soon, the sky lulled them both into a doze.
But he’s startled awake when suddenly, he finds an arm draped over him and his crush pulling him closer to them.
They nestle into his side and he can’t help but to let out a slight squeak of embarrassment. What would they do when they woke up and found him awake, and them asleep, and they were sooo close and-
They suddenly say they like him.
He blinks and he’s stunned for a moment. They say it again, and as if to emphasis their point, cuddle even closer to him.
He hesitantly wraps his arms around them and pull them just as close, resting his chin in their hair. They mutter once more that they like him.
He just lets them lay together after that, enjoying it while he can. He lets himself imagine that they were awake, and this would end in happily ever after for him. But he can’t keep pretending, and sighed, allowing himself to stop his daydreaming.
“Do you mean it I wonder?” He asks quietly.
“Yes.” Comes an unexpected response.
He jumps about a mile in the air and asks when they had woken up.
They grin and state they when he grabbed them they had woken, but didn’t want to stop cuddling him.
“I meant it Prompto.”

Gladiolus:

They’re concussed, clearly.
A training session gone wrong from earlier today maybe? Because there’s no way in hell that that confession was for him.
They were laying on his living room floor together, both tired from their days. Their head was on his shoulder and they were so close, he could feel their breath on his neck.
He knew he should have woken them and let the move away, but honestly, he didn’t have the heart or determination to interrupt their sleep.
And he’d gone and heard something not meant for him, no matter how much he wishes it was.
But then they speak again, and say his name this time, and his heart flutters in his chest before he can stop it.
He should wake them up, he tells himself, they don’t know what they’re saying.
For all he knows, this was meant to be a secret!
But then they sigh and mumble something about there being no time to sleep for the next two days.
He decides to just let them sleep, and tried to tune out their sleepy confessions.
He finds out the only way to get them to stop talking in their sleep is to respond to them. So he says he likes them just as much, they should get more sleep, and they should take a break with him one of these days…
(He doesn’t see Iris in the doorway, recording them. He also doesn’t realize that Iris shows them the footage the next day. So when they walk up to him the day after, plant a kiss on his mouth, and then walk away without saying a word, he is SO so lost.)

Ignis:

They are both in one of the Citadel’s many sleeping quarters, for when the staff is awake more than 24 hours and can’t make it home.
The other rooms are full, but he sees that they have one of the rooms already and just wanders off to join them. (It’s an old arrangement really. They both knew each other, and were comfortable with each other, so they didn’t mind sharing a bed sometimes.)
It’s not uncommon to find them both there, over worked and sleeping it off. It’s just the first time he gets there and they’re already asleep. Normally he’s asleep when they get there and has a room, and he awakes when they’re asleep, putting the room in their name as he leaves. (They keep records of such a thing down here, and they’re not the only staff members who have such an arrangement, so it’s not looked down upon.)
So the voice that comes from them as he’s drifting off is a surprise. Especially when it’s as clear as day. “I adore you Ignis.”
He almost thinks he’s dreaming, and responds without thinking. “I adore you as well.”
He freezes when he realizes he said that out loud.
He breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes that they were sleep talking. But then he realizes that they’re sleep talking. About liking him.
He bolts upright by accident when a thought strikes him. Oh gods, what if he spoke in his sleep too??
The movement is enough to wake them and cause them to turn over to face him.
“Morning Ig. Something wrong?” They look a little concerned rather than upset that he woke them.
He stutters and stumbles over his words, but tells them the truth. “You said you adore me??”
They blink, and then chuckle sleepily. “Oh…yeah. I do. I figured I’d return the favor. Goodnight Iggy.”
He’s left a little unsure about what they meant, but lays back down anyways. He’d deal with…whatever this was when he woke up.
(He nearly jumps out of his skin when he realizes their unconscious minds took their last conversation as a confession and woke up CUDDLING with them.)

Love your stuff, always get happy when i see a notifucation saying you’ve posted something. Hope the long days went by fast at least ^_^ How would the bros react if Ardyn was acting all fatherly to their s/o, like they look like the splitting image of his favorite/only child and he’s not exactly happy with their choice in love interest?

Noctis:

At the sound of Ardyn chiding his S/O over their choice of
companion, he nearly spins on heel and stomps back over to where they are. He gets as far as whirling around, but then
freezes.
The look of fatherly concern on Ardyn’s face jars him.
Deeply. His father would wear that same expression when chiding him.
It worries him when his S/O doesn’t pick up on it. He knows
they’re not the most attentive person in the world, but even he thinks they
should have picked up on something so…strange.
He has to stop himself from darting over and pushing Ardyns
hands off of their head when he reaches out to stroke their hair. Like one
would do with a small child.
When Ardyn then says that they deserve better than him, he
feels a bit offended and finally stomps over to confront the older man.
That seems to snap Ardyn out of whatever came over him, and
he takes a step back from his S/O. If noctis wasn’t mistaken, that was
confusion on his face.
When Ardyn apologies, casts one last torn look at his S/O,
and leaves for the night after paying for the caravan, Noctis draws his S/O
into his arms and refuses to let go for the rest of the night.
There was something in Ardyn’s eyes that worried him. Like
he was going to take his S/O away.
Like hell he’d let that happen though.

Prompto:

Prompto would press a kiss to his S/O’s cheek before taking
off into the nearby small store. He’d be watching through the window, and his
heart would sink at the looks of disgust Ardyn casts at the shop.
He’d wonder what the shop had ever done to Ardyn, but then
realize, when Ardyn walks over to his S/O that the look was meant for him.
The look on Ardyn’s face was one of disappointment and
anger. So naturally Prompto would set
down what he was looking at and run back to their side, or try to anyways.
He’d catch the tail end of their conversation, and feel a
bit sick when he hears Ardyn call him a thing.
“Such a THING is beneath you.” Ardyn would say.
His S/O would be super confused, and not know how to
respond. They’d catch his eyes and subtly shake their head, a warning for him
not to come any nearer.
As if Ardyn was a danger to him.
He’d go and get everyone else before attempting to get his
S/O out of the situation.
Ardyn would then remember himself, return to the grandiose
personality he had earlier, and then disappear from the caravan from the night.
Prompto would then, after thanking the others for their help
and asking for a moment alone, ask what made them send him away.
They’d respond that they thought the man was going to kill
them, and mention they kept calling them a different name throughout the odd
conversation.
“Almost as if…he was disappointed in me. A father
scolding a child.”
They’d sleep with one eye open that night, and watching each
other’s backs so nothing would happen.
He can’t shake that Ardyn is seeking revenge for whatever
imagined slight he had done after learning of their relationship.

Gladiolus:

His S/O is heard arguing with the Chancellor as they return
to the caravan with their things.

Ardyn has apparently questioned their taste in dating
partners.

Ordinarily it wouldn’t have bothered him…if said dating
partner wasn’t himself.

He’d let his S/O take care of it, trusting their skills to
defend them if it came down to it.

Things would get heated when his S/O shouts, “Who I
date is none of your business, so WHAT’S IT TO YOU?!”

Ardyn absolutely looked furious and was about to respond
something in kind, but then something snaps in his eyes, and he takes a step
back, as if realizing where he is for the first time.

He’d apologize, something that catches everyone off guard.
“You look so much like…”

He never finishes, turning away and disappearing into the
night.

He asks his S/O what that was about before they go to bed,
and they shrug.

“I think…he lost someone dear to him.” Is all
they say.

Gladio does not question them laying their head on his chest
when they turn in for the night, even if it’s too hot out to cuddle. (It
worries him how shaken they are.)

Ignis:

He’s a bit taken a back when Ardyn says that they could have
at least dated someone other than the royal family’s help.
THE HELP?
He has to bite his tongue and keep his face neutral while
listening to Ardyn describe the ways such relationships were hidden from the public.
“If you’re going to have an affair with someone beneath
your station…”
He launches into the ins and outs of concealing such things.
Ignis is slighly surprised by how much he knows, but dares not let it show.
(He’s proud that his S/O is keeping their face as schooled
as his.)
When he’s finished, he looks Ignis, who has not left his
lover’s side, up and down.
“At least he’s sensible.” He states in a somewhat
approving tone.
When his back is turned, he and his S/O glance at each other
in uncertainty. Why is he so concerned?
“Thank you for the advice, Chancellor…” His S/O
starts, and establishes some distance between the two of them. "But who I date and if they’re below my
station is no one’s business, but my own.“
"Hm… They said they same thing at your age…”
He mutters, and then takes his leave.
Both are left wondering who the “they” he
mentioned was.

Chocobros reaction to their s/o seeing their hair fully unstyled for the first time? (For gladio– maybe tied up instead?) and absolutely ADORING it? Like… getting really stoked over how cute they look….

Noctis:

He just woke up, and since he had taken a shower the night before, his hair was completely lacking the normal amount of product it usually held. Which ordinarily wouldn’t have been a problem since he was alone.
Or so he thought. He’d completely freeze at the sight of his S/O sitting in his kitchen staring at him with wide beaming eyes. Oh no.
He’d take off for the bathroom as quick as he could but his S/O would be quicker. He’d find his arms pinning to his side at they try to stop him from making it to his destination.
“Noctis wait! You look so adorable! Let me seeee!” They’d whine at him and go dead weight, so he’d practically be dragging them along with him with every step. Eventually he’d give in.
They’d guide him over to the couch and just…run their hands through it and look at him with adoring eyes. “I think this is the first time I’ve seen you like this.”
He’d eventually relax until they get their fill of his appearance, and then finish getting ready for the day.
(They do not mention how YOUNG it makes him look.)

Prompto:

He had been in a rush and hadn’t had time to fix his hair in his usual style. Which was fine with him. He didn’t mind. His friends have seen him have lazy days before. And his S/O was busy for the day, so he wasn’t expecting to run into them or anything.
But then he almost get’s tackled in the park during a photo exhibition and has to pry the person hugging him off of him. His heart drops when he sees who it is.
“I-I thought you were busy today!” He’d stammer, and they’d just throw back their head and laugh.
“You look so different Prom!” They’d reach their hand up and push it off his face since most of his hair is currently obscuring it.
He is most certainly NOT blushing. (Or so he’d tell himself.)

Ignis:

It would be a sleepy morning, with him rising before the sun for a much needed cup of coffee. It wouldn’t even really register with him that his hair is down.
That is until he feels someone turn his face toward theirs and brush his bangs out of his face that he remembers.
“You look good like this love.” His S/O would say quietly, and then press a kiss to his forehead before wandering away.
He’d be momentarily stunned, but eventually snap out of it. When he’s finally fully awake, he wouldn’t be able to stop smiling to himself.

Gladiolus:

He tends to look pretty wild with his hair down, so the first time they see it up, they don’t say anything at first. They simply bask in it.
He’d catch his S/O staring and then grin at them. “Something wrong?”
“Just wondering what happened to Gladiolus. Have you seen him? He’s normally a windblown mess.” They’d tease, and he’d walk over to them and mess their hair up in retaliation.
They’d let him because as soon as he’s in range, their hands shoots out to pull the hair tie out of his hair. He’d be surprised, but still smiling. “There’s the man I know and love.”
He’d laugh and tie his hair back up, and go back to what he was doing. “You know you love it.” ~~(They really REALLY do.)~~

Reaction/scenario with Ignis and his long time s/o when they find out that she’ll likely fall into a sort of coma soon enough that could last anywhere from weeks or months to tens of years. Maybe she tells him to go on with his life or something

owwwww

They’d know it was coming. Since they were children they knew. They were ill, and were not expected to recover.

He’d always wondered what the illness was as a child, as they’d sometimes disappear for weeks on end, and what the long term effects would be. But it wouldn’t be until they were teenagers that he’d find out.

They’d collapsed one day while with him, and wouldn’t wake. And it wouldn’t be until a month later, after one of his visits to their hospital room, that their parents had taken pity on him and told him what they suffered from.

It’s common name was just Sleep. In the old days, it had been something that could be inflicted on a person. They’d be powerless to stop it, and would’t wake without outside help. It was rare these days though, and the remedy(ha) to it had been lost to time. They’d been afflicted with it, and the times it took them to wake were getting longer and longer.

So when they were adult, and he’d been through two more of their sleep attacks, they both knew that the next time…They might not wake again.

Though, year later, there were enough cases of it to have developed tests to tell when they would fall into another sleep attack. And to both of their dismay, it was soon. And it’d be longer than any before it.

They’d pretend everything was normal at first. Go on with their lives, ignore the elephant in the room. But then…as the date drew nearer and near they’d be unable to pretend anymore.

“Ignis…I want you to go on without me.” They’d say out of the blue one day. They’d be sitting with each other in silence, enjoying their time together. But they wouldn’t be able to hide from the truth any longer. “Just…forget the sleeping person in the hospital room, and just live your life.”

Ignis would put down what he was doing, and look them dead in the eye. It’d be such an intense stare they’d look away, unable to hold his gaze for long.

“No. And don’t ever say something like that again.” He’d begin. “I’ve waited for you every time you’ve slept since we’ve met. And I’ll keep waiting. Don’t ask me to just leave you behind because we’re unsure…Because we know what’s coming this time.” He’d take their hand in his and just squeeze, as if afraid they’d disappear. And in a way they were. “I care about you too much to just ‘move on’ so don’t ask again. Please.”

By the end his voice would have thickened with emotion, revealing the very real fact that he was just as scared as them. And they’d end up shedding a few tears themself ask they argued their point. “There’s no guarantee that I’ll wake this time. And just the thought of you, left in stasis waiting…It hurts. I don’t want you to stop living your life for me. I’m begging you. Please be happy.”

It’s be a back and forth debate, one that Ignis would ultimately win. Because like hell he was just going to leave them in his past. There was no happiness without them. For the rest of that night they’d just hold each other, waiting for the sun to come up.

And during the week their sleep was supposed to take them, neither of the pair slept really. They’d spend every moment with each other, as if frantic to make memories to keep them company while they were separated.

And one day, when they’d fallen asleep together on their bed, he awakes. But they don’t. After having a moment of bitter sadness to himself, he’d call the caretakers from the hospital, and go with them on the transport as they were moved into the hospital’s care.

And he’d wait. He’d wait and wait. They’d be safely a sleep, and he’d go through out his life, frequently checking on them. And even though it takes years, he waits for them to wake again. It would be the longest 5 years of his life.

A scenario where the S/O keeps stealing Ignis’s glasses and running off with them at camp

Not quite what you meant I think, but still very fluffy.

It’d start out as just them being nice really. It would be after a major battle, with everyone quieter than normal. Too many close calls, too much energy spent. They’d notice his glasses were a little dirty on one side, and he’d either be too wrapped up in his own thoughts or too busy cooking to clean them. So they’d walk over and just simply take them off his face before saying quietly, “Let me get that for you.”

They wouldn’t have a cleaning cloth near them, so they’d walk off with them. He’d be a little concerned, but trust them enough to return. But they wouldn’t. And he’d be a little concerned. He’d end up going to look for them, only to find them in the tent, laying down and just staring upwards with an exhausted expression on their face.

He’d chuckle upon seeing his glasses in their hand, cleaner than before. And they’d snap out of it and go pink in the face. They’d kiss him sweetly and hand them back to him as an apology. It’d look like they just got distracted and neglected to return them. Except….

The next time it’d happen they’d end up getting distracted by watching a video with Prompto while he was busy with Noctis. He’d eventually have to wander over and remind them to hand them back to him. They’d kiss his cheek and apologize again.

The time after that would be when Noctis has taken a memento of theirs and they chase after him….with his glasses still in hand. He’d sigh and have to wait for them to return before seeking them out to reclaim them. And when he does see them again, they’d catch his hand a press a kiss to his finger tips before wandering off.

They don’t seem to notice the pattern. But Ignis is slowly picking up on it. He finds he doesn’t mind. A desire to be closer to him was endearing. And the kisses were probably just them being affectionate. He just wished he could see them clearly while they did it.

Eventually, after this happens a few more times, when they reach for his glasses, he surprises them by leaning forward and pressing a lingering kiss to their lips. When he’d pull away, they’d grin, but still offer to clean his glasses, He’d let them, and be pleasantly surprised when they return with them this time.

Can I please see headcanons and/or scenarios of the chocobros and their S/O adopting kids??? Like their thoughts on adoption, preferences on age and such, etc. THANKS~

Headcanons and scenarios? Righto!

Noctis:

Honestly, I think he’d prefer adoption to having a biological child. One that wouldn’t have the burden of holding the wall around insomnia.

Perhaps he’s aware that he needs to have a blood related heir to the throne. And perhaps he and his S/O accept that and they’d consent to having one, either by their own body or by surrogate. But that wouldn’t stop them from going out a picking another child to love as well. It wouldn’t go over well at first, because an adopted child could contest the throne of the bloodline child. But they still wouldn’t care, choosing to love both equally.

The other three of the quartet would accept the child as his as well. Ignis would be fair and care for them both. Gladio would watch over each one, and honestly, he’d probably enlist Iris’ help in shielding the twins. Prompto would be listed as their godfather, and take his role very seriously by watching over them constantly.

Noctis would probably prefer a baby or a toddler. Someone young enough to raise as his own. He’d want them to know that they have been loved for most of their life by him. (Perhaps they get a child the same age as their own, and raise them as twins.) Gender doesn’t matter, and neither does physical appearance. (But honestly, he’d lean toward a child that looks like his S/O.)

Growing up, the child wouldn’t know they were adopted. They’d just think they were related to the S/O because of their similarities. It would be when they’re older, and there are whispers around the palace that they’d begin to question their lineage. Perhaps the careless whisper of a maid catches their ear when they’re in high school. Their sibling would try and reassure them, but they wouldn’t listen. From that day forward they’d start noticing little things about themself that didn’t fit. Perhaps they have freckles but no one in their family did. And where did their eye color come from? Why did their hair curl when no one else’s did?

When they turn 18, despite their twin’s begging, they’d go to their parents and demand an answer. And Noctis and his S/O would answer honestly and carefully, wanting to ease the truth onto their child. But once what they heard was confirmed, they’d quietly retire to their room and wait for the night. Upon night fall, I can picture they’d run away, leaving insomnia for a time. Just to think and try to figure out if they’re OKAY with the revelation.

After a few years, perhaps when they’re 21, they’d sneak back into the city and see that the top headline was the royal family’s continued search for their missing child. And while they’re distracted, who is behind them but the shield of the family Gladio. They don’t notice it’s him until he grabs them and literally picks them up and throws them into a car. It would only have been chance he’d been out and about that day, and part of him wanted to let them go, understanding the need to figure things out on their own. But another part of him couldn’t do that to Noctis. So, into the car they’d go, even if they’re kicking and screaming. (Honestly, they hadn’t planned on getting caught, they had just wanted to check things at home.)

They’d get to the palace and try darting out the door of the car as soon as it stopped but they’d smack right into Prompto who’d wrap them in a hug and refuse to let go. They’d see Ignis on the way to the throne room, and he’d laugh at how surly they look. (Clearly they were NOT happy about being dragged back here.)

Word would have been sent ahead to the royal family that they’d been found, and they were waiting to see them. And upon seeing them, yes, they’d act cold, but they’d be glad to see they all looked well. They’d have doubts. Why were they adopted when they already had a child. Did they love them like they loved their sibling? They’d be scared of these answers and that’s what kept them away.

But things would turn out find. They’d all go and talk it out. There would still be a rift between the two siblings because they left, but it would heal. And they’d realize that adopted or not, this was their family and they shouldn’t have doubted them.

Prompto:

He’d probably also prefer adoption. And his chosen age group would be pre-teens and teenagers. The ones who didn’t get picked, and were forced to grow up alone. He’d want them to feel like they were wanted, and worthy of love.

He’d talk it out with his S/O, or maybe his S/O brings up that they can’t have, or don’t want, biological children. Which would be fine with him. (Honestly, he can’t picture himself have a biological child as well.) And both would agree that an older child would fit right in with them. (His S/O ends up picking children that look like Prompto though)

Perhaps it’d be a struggle to get the adoption put through, because neither were home very often. (Prompto would often work as a photographer and have assignments that forced him to travel a lot. And his S/O would always accompany him.) And he wouldn’t want to just leave a child on their own either. He’d want to do what his parents never did for him and take them with.

But a life on the road isn’t ideal for an adoption, and they’d struggle to get approved. (Noctis actually might have to intervene.) But once they are they’d probably fall in love with more than one child. Which results in them adopting two. Which is fine! But not what they had planned for. But they take it in stride and it works. The kids love how nothing seems to be planned, as their lived before this were nothing but plans. And while it may take some time for the kids to think of them as parents, the first time one of them does call Prompto ‘Dad’ he’s in tears. Their home is big enough for all of them, and they highly enjoy being together as a family. It’s pure happiness. And then there’s their ‘uncles’.

Gladio offers to train them to learn how to defend themselves, because you never know right? But only one of them takes him up on the offer. And after a few rounds of sparring Gladio realizes having a blade in their hand was nothing new. They actually trust him enough to reveal that their parents had been a part of the crowns guard, and died years ago in an attack. Honestly, they only agreed to be trained by him because they were curious if they remembered what their parents taught them.

The second child has such a crush on Ignis that they actually start following him around. He just assumes it’s curiosity about his job and offers an apprenticeship to them, stating that they have a good head on their shoulders and would make an excellent adviser if they wanted. They accept after talking it over with Prompto and the crush passes. They actually do enjoy learning from Ignis.

Noctis freaking SPOILS them. Like, he doesn’t even have any chill about buying them what they want. Because honestly, MINI PROMPTOS. He ended up sort of spoiling Prompto in high school when he’d let him, so there was no WAY he wasn’t going to spoil his kids.

All three are currently fighting over who’s their godfather.

Gladiolus:

Honestly, he’d want children of his own. Buuuut. Perhaps that’s not a possibility or an option. He wouldn’t mind if that was the case. Adoption would probably be the first, and only, solution he’d consider. Besides, it wouldn’t be a big deal to him. He’s not the only child of the Amicitias. Iris can pass on the bloodline if it was that important. (Though honestly, there have been adoptions in the family in the past as well. Family is family, and he’d punch anyone who said otherwise.)

Anyways. He’d only want one child. And he’d want them to look like his S/O. That’s the only thing he wants. Otherwise? Age and gender doesn’t matter. His S/O would decide on a child that does look like them, a 5 year old to be specific. His S/O would take the lead in caring for the child at first, while Gladio figures out how they’re going to do this. He didn’t expect to be NERVOUS. But he’d fall in love with the child the first time he see the child cuddled up with his S/O.

They’d be a rather happy family, and Gladio would actually be a little over protective of them. To the point where he’d probably have them nearby him at work all the time. Iris would sometimes, just to mess with him, STEAL his child in the middle of a hallway. Like one minute he’d be walking down the hall, on his way to see someone, with little soft footsteps behind him. He’d get distracted by something for a few moments and continue on his way, only to realize the footsteps were MISSING.

Oh boy.

He’d kind of panic and look high and low for the little guy, having flashbacks to when Iris disappeared with Noctis. Iris would finally take pity on him and call him, letting him know she had tham. Catch her if you can, because she is in LOVE with her new Nephew/Niece. Eventually Gladio’s S/O has to step in and get their child back after a day of shenanigans with Iris.

The child would grow up loved, and fully aware that they’re adopted. They’re like, the kid who get made fun of for it, but fires back, “MY PARENTS CHOSE MEEEEE! Your’s didn’t get a choice.” which results in fights. Lost of school fights. And Gladio is internally thrilled that they win every single one. But has to scold them because fighting is bad. (His S/O totally knows he’s proud of his child for standing up for themself though, but lets it slide.)

This kid is also, FEISTY. Like, they’ll take a run at Gladio in a sparring session and will keep swinging even if Galdio has them held back with one hand. Also, this kid is a high energy nightmare. Think Calvin and Hobbs. But…Gladio and his S/O wouldn’t have it any other way. They adore them.

Surprisingly, Prompto is listed as the godfather. Which would have him reduced to blubbering tears. Because holy crap the SHIELD of the royal family would entrust his kid to him if anything happened to their parents. He’d be so honored. And lets be real, the only person who can keep up with the child is Prompto. Even Gladio and the S/O struggles with it.

Ignis would try and instill some levelheadedness in the kid during their lessons with him. (I picture Ignis becoming a sort of tutor for the royal family when they do start having kids.) Buut…Ignis is used to children who are QUIET and RESERVED. This kid gives him a run for his money every time they’re together. But he adapts and though he’s considered the boring uncle, the kid likes being with him all the same.

Noctis would try his best to keep up with the kid if he ever, for some reason, has to watch them. But this kid is off the charts in energy and he’d eventually have to call Prompto for help. Basically, Noctis accidentally spoils the kid without meaning to whenever they’re with him, simply because he CAN’T KEEP UP.

The kid mellows out as they grow, and taking a few note from Ignis becomes a MASTER statistician…which they use for pranks and traps.

Ignis:

He was adopted himself as a baby is my personal headcanon. He’s completely aware of this, and so when his S/O brings up adoption he’s all for it.

He’d want a younger child, but not too young. He and his S/O have time enough to raise a child, and they deeply want to, but not so much time that they’d be able to raise them from a baby. So they go with a child that’s 8 or 9. Old enough to manage on their own if left to their own devices, but young enough to be theirs. Appearance wise, Ignis doesn’t care. Honestly, he’d leave that up to his S/O. And they’d pick a child that looked a bit like Ignis himself to his surprise.

They’d spend time together, trying to see where each other fit in their lives. Ignis and his S/O managed to fit their lives around each other, and eventually figure out where their kid fits. Which, the kid is so sweet that they don’t really complain about anything. Which made it all the harder to figure out what worked and didn’t work. (Both were fully aware the child wanted to be perfect. FOR them. Because they didn’t want to go back to the adoption center.)

Eventually, they’d work in tandem. One would pick up the child from school, the other would drop off the child. They’d take turns taking the kid to work with them, spending all their free time with them. IT would be rare, but they’d make it work so that they’d eat lunch all together every once in a while. Dinner was always together though.

They all love being in the kitchen.

Ignis would be a little surprised that when they get older, they reveal they want to be an artist. But he’d support them none the less.

Gladio would be the cool uncle to them. They’re entirly unsuited for combat, but still insist on learning how to fight from him. Though he’d try and persuade them that Ignis or Ignis’ S/O would be the better for them to learn from. Because there was no way they’d be able to swing a greatsword like they wanted. But, a little bit of Ignis’ sassiness would reveal itself when they’re like, “Don’t tell me what to do” and promptly go for a greatsword to practice with.

Prompto would try and help them achieve their goal of being an artist. He’d be pretty big in the photo scene, and would use some of his contacts to try and help them learn the industry. They get a long fairly well. Prompto, true to form, would be a bad influence. Starting with the day they come home from his place with GREEN hair. (Due to a mishap, his own would be pink.)

Noctis and they would bond over one thing. Their hatred of vegetables. He’d give them tips and trick on how to AVOID eating the veggies in Ignis’ cooking, ‘Take it from me kid, I’ve been eating with him for most of my life.’

Ignis would never name a godfather, because he’d be so sure that he’d NEVER leave his child alone in the world.

I think it’s also time for a scenario! So what about one with a s/o who is a really close childhood friend to Noctis. They fell for him years ago but never told him because they heared that he will marry Luna. After the fall of Insomnia they met again in Altissia. The both of them talk a little about what’s going on and somehow Noctis starts to talk about Luna and that brings the feeling back. They can hold it anymore and confess to him and probably tell them to have eyes for them.~

Alrighty! 😀

They all inherit their positions around the royal family. His S/O was no different. But their line was rendered useless the day the queen died. Their family, while unwaveringly loyal to the king, had always served the queens/princesses of the land. So being without a queen to serve under, they were stuck in a sort of stasis.

Though that didn’t mean they were allowed to slack off on their duties. They were always in training for any potential new queens, taking special care of the queens private chambers. They learned everything they were supposed to, but since there was no queen for their parent to serve, they could live as normal citizens. And when a new queen would be crowned, their parent would step down and they would take their place as the queen’s companion.

Noctis didn’t know who they were when they met in elementary school. He didn’t realize they were of a noble house, much like the Amicitia and Scientia. Not that it mattered, they became the closest of friends anyways.

(I headcanon that the king has his shield and adviser, and the queen has a sword and companion.)

It wasn’t until high school his S/O realized that they had romantic feelings for the prince, but quickly crushed those feelings. They could not allow them to come to light, since they were meant to serve the royal family, and distanced themself from him as a result. Eventually, this distance caused their friendship to become strained and then dissolved.

A few years after they both graduated, it was announced that there would soon be a new queen to serve. Lunafreya Nox Fleuret was to be married to their prince. This was when they were rushed to the palace to start preparation for her arrival.

They run into Noctis, Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto, greeting them briefly and allowing themselves a small time to catch up a little. And much to their horror, they discovered the feelings had not faded.

He’d be surprised to see them there, and as soon as they left he’d ask Ignis about their presence. Imagine his shock when he discovers they basically are meant to be to the queen as Ignis is to him.

The four depart and they are left in the citadel. And they get to briefly meet Luna, along side the person who would become Luna’s sword, and are genuinely looking forward to working for her.

(Luna doesn’t comment on it, but she can feel that both already loved her unconditionally. Which does surprise her.)

But then…Insomnia is plunged into chaos. And falls. They manage to be a part of the escape. But their parents are dead. The sword’s line has ended in defense of the woman would would have been queen. And they are left adrift.

Luna takes them with her, and she does serve as her companion alongside Gentiana. Since it was the last thing they were ordered to do in the name of their family, they weren’t going to let Luna out of their sight.

In Altissia, they wait beside her for Noctis’ arrival. They are fully aware of what will happen to Luna, and have helped her through some of the fatigue she feels from the damage her body is taking to wake the Astrals.

And when Luna requires something be brought to her, they go to get it from the market. Imagine their surprise when they recognize the four boys waving from a gondola.

They wave back and meet them where they gondola docks. They request to meet Luna immediately. But they can’t allow that to happen yet. Per Luna’s request they cannot meet yet. Though they reassure Noctis that Luna does want to see him. It’s just that she needs time to rest before contacting Leviathan.

Gentiana appears before them and relays a message from Luna to them, telling them to guide the boys around Altissia. Gentiana from there takes the items Luna requested and leave them to it.

They spend the whole day together, allowing the boys to relax and enjoy the day. They also catch up and find out Noctis’ thoughts on the marriage to Luna and how he’s content with the match.

Slow dancing at the Maagho to music was one of the highlights of the night. They dance with all of them at least once.

The day allows them to come to terms with their feelings, and this night allows them to say goodbye. Because Luna and Noctis were to be married and honestly, how could they come between them?

They take them to the Leville Hotel to check in and have a moment alone with Noctis on a balcony.

There they say they have something to tell him. They let it all out. They tell him they’ve loved him for a long time, but will never acted on their feelings, and never will now. They can’t look him in the eye as they speak. But they smile as they speak, and stare into the distance.

“Just thought you should know.” They then turn to leave, and are at peace with their choice to let him go. But when he pulls them back and pressed a kiss to their mouth, they feel the world fall away.

He explains as he holds them close, that he had liked them for almost as along, and though he loves Luna, it’s not the same love he feels for them.

They have each other for the night, and if the others see anything, they don’t comment on it. They’ve known that the two cared for each other. Which is why they had been constantly checking with Noctis about the marriage. If he had ever show signs of not wanting it, they would have encouraged him to not go through with it.

They tell him, they’ll love him always, but this night was the only one they could have together. Considering Luna and his impending marriage. they depart reluctantly, but both understand their places.

And then Altissia is evacuated and destroyed when Leviathan is awakened. Luna dies. And they are one of the people listed as missing.

As it turns out, Gentiana has passed the trident onto them to pass on from Luna, and reveals herself as Shiva. They serve under her for a while, fulfilling Luna’s wishes.

They appear on the train with Gentiana, no longer missing, bid her goodbye, and from there on serve as a support to Ignis.

They do not pursue the prince’s affections after he had lost Luna, but they do wait for him. They recognize that he did love Luna, even if it was on strange deeper level than just romance. And eventually, Noctis does reach out for them.
