Don’t know if this has been done before, but how about a cute headcanon where the chocobros find out their s/o is ticklish or the other way around. I think it’s so cute!

Noctis:

He is STARTLINGLY ticklish.

It’s an accident. Noctis and his S/O would be training together, and just by chance, to reach around him, they lay their hand on his side.

It catches him so off guard that he yelps and actually warps away, sword sinking into the side of a pillar far above his S/O, holding his side and glowering like a cat that just got his tail stepped on.

The S/O would be in stitches, and it would take a while for them to stop laughing, and even longer to convince Noctis to come down.

By the time he does, he’s fully settled into suspicion, and only lets the S/O close after multiple promises not to do it again. (And quit laughing!)

Prompto:

He’d be in a sad mood, which isn’t unheard of for the blond behind closed doors. The S/O would be trying to cheer him up, and start dancing their fingers over his ribs as a last resort, not even knowing if it would work.

At first he’d be able to hold off his chuckles, but then it quickly escalates to full blown laughter and him grabbing at their hands to get them to stop.

“Stop making me laugh I’m trying to be sad!” he says desperately through his laughs, which only causes him to laugh even harder at the ridiculousness of that sentence.

They both eventually settle down, and his sad thoughts would be chased away for the moment. In fact, tickling becomes a sign of affection between the two.

Ignis:

A small gasp leaves him in surprise. He wasn’t expecting his S/O to lean over and whisper to him during a meeting. But them being shorter means that the air from their whisper was more directed toward his neck.

Not many people know that he’s EXTREMELY ticklish on his neck.

And to his horror, his S/O’s eyes light up with mischief upon realizing why he’d gasped. From then on through out the day, they’d delight on sneaking up on him and either blowing on his neck, or when alone in particular, gently poking and tracing their fingers on his neck which usually gets a few startled laughs out of him.

Ignis, as it turns out, if very fun to tickle when you’re in a relationship with him. Kissing his neck and blowing raspberries on the sensitive skin there is always a laugh, especially because when he gets tickled, he gets weak and can’t really fight back.

Gladiolus:

Oddly enough, Gladio is ticklish on his back. Also on his feet and under his arms, but his back is the most surprising.

It’d be an accident when his S/O discovers it. It’s been a long day and they seem him walking down a hall in the citadel alone, about to head home. So they rush for a hug and upon puling away, their hands tail over his back with a feather light touch.

A choked laugh leaves him, and his face twists up like he’s about to sneeze from the effort of trying not to laugh.

With a raised eyebrow, they’d dance their fingers over his back, and lightly scrape their nails over it as well, to test their theory.

Full bellied laughs would leave him, and he’d try to get away, but since their arms would still be hugging him, it doesn’t take much to latch on and hold him hostage.

This basically becomes blackmail material, and people are wondering what the S/O means when they say they’ll use their secret weapon against him when he’s being difficult.

79 for GladioxReader pls?

LATE NEW YEARS POST WOOOOO BOY. I know it’s not new years anymore, but still. Have a thing! 😀

Drabble Challenge: #79 – “My name isn’t Leslie…who’s Leslie?”

Speaking over the music was a challenge. It thrummed through the air, shaking you to your bones. Gladio, thanks to his size, had managed to get to you on the dance floor and pull you into a booth near by. Both of you were dizzy with happiness, and giddy from the drinks.

It was New Years night, and this club in particular had been closed to the public for those close to the crown. Nobles and retainers alike were celebrating together, free from having to worry about press and security leaks. The prince, ordinarily in Gladio’s charge for such a night, had elected to stay in his apartment, bringing in the year with his best friend, and Ignis.

Being the person ‘courting’ Gladio had it’s perks. This was probably the best new years party you’d been to. However, the music was starting to become ridiculously loud, and the air too stuffy for you to handle.

“Let’s leave!” You shouted about the music, your face flushed and feeling giggly.

“Leslie? My name isn’t Leslie…Who’s Leslie?” Gladio was snickering behind his hand. It looked like you weren’t the only one who might need fresh air.

“I said, Let’s leave!” You ended up laughing as Gladio nodded and began tugging you along through the crowd. It didn’t take long to reach the front doors. You went out without your coats, figuring you’d be coming right back in. The cool night air was doing wonders for you both. The the shouts and cheers from inside the club caught your attention.

10…9…8…

When had it gotten so late?

“Gladio!” You shouted when he suddenly swept you up into his arms. Normally not a big feat for him, but with the alcohol in his system, he staggered backwards until his was leaning against the wall with you still in his arms.

5…4…3…

Both of you laughed as you adjusted your weight in his arms, lost together in the giddiness of the night. He soon regained his feet just in time to press a soft kiss to your mouth.

2…1…

It started with a gentle pressing of his lips to yours. It was cautious, almost reminiscent of your first kiss. As if scared he’d hurt you, or scare you away… Then his movements became more heated. A soft bite to your bottom lip to gain admittance, tongue slowly exploring the inside of your mouth. He took his time, wanting you dazed, wanting you to feel just how much you meant to him. Eventually, the need to breath would become too much to bear, and you’d have to pull away.

But not yet. Not yet.

“Happy new year.” He whispered against your lips, before continuing his kiss.

Chocobros hcs when their s/o (gender neutral) flirts to get other people to do something for them (like, to get free stuff or discounts, or get others to pay for them and etc) while they’re on journey? So they kinda have to watch their s/o being all charming and flirting with other guys and girls. I think that’ll be funny :))

Noctis:

He would stand quietly off to the side, eyes on them and far enough away to not raise any suspicion for who it is they’re batting their eyes at.
There is definitely a pout on his face, and he can’t help but feel a little…left out. He likes it when his S/O flirts with him even when they’re in a relationship, so seeing someone else get to enjoy that side of them…
He’d get jealous.
But he’d quickly drop the pout when he sees them come over to him, having gotten what they needed. He puts an arm around their shoulders, and has to resist the urge to turn his head and make a face at the recipient of their attention.
He’d hold his S/O a little closer for the rest of the day, just wanting to be sure they still like him despite their flirting.
Which of course they do, they notice how uncomfortable it makes him, and likewise spend the rest of the day returning his affections. (Which means they turn up the charm on him and he winds up flustered more often than not.)

Prompto:

They take turns. They’re charming and sure of themself, which is appealing to a lot of people. Prompto has perfected the ~~dumb~~ blonde act which appeals to the rest.
Both have mastered flirting, and regularly flirt with each other.
They actually have developed a system. They’ll go talk to the person they need to together, and get a feel for which one they like a better. Then, say if they like his S/O better, Prompto will make an excuse about forgetting something and leave the two alone. That’s when his S/O really amps up the charm, and eventually gets what they need.
Prompto would then return, and turn up the charm on them, making sure that the person they were flirted with knew they were taken. They’d then both abscond happily with one another and return to the car.
(The others have NO idea that this is how they get most of their things.)

Gladio:

He doesn’t pick up on it at first. It’s not that he’s dense, it just because he doesn’t SEE it on their face.
Like, when they really smile, only one side of their mouth will twitch up into a smile. Not the fully on beaming brightly at someone that they do when meeting new people.
Their laughter will have them tossing their head back and wheezing. Not the quiet little giggles while hiding behind their hand that they do around strangers.
Okay, so the fact that they’re leaning into someone else’s space willingly, kind of rubbed him the wrong way, especially when they’re gazing through their eyelashes at their new friend. They’ve never batted their eyes at anyone? So…
Then he gets it the first time he sees the end of these shenanigans, and they walk away with a gift, or some new information. And then he REALLY gets it. That was them, FLIRTING.
He feels a bit mixed about this at first, but then figures it’s harmless after all.
He knows them well enough to tell when they mean it.
~~Besides, the person they’re flirting with doesn’t get to see their real smile. And he’s a bit smug about that.~~

Ignis:

He knows the value of what they do. They save money on things they ordinarily wouldn’t. They sometimes walk away with an item for free. Other times, the tips and info they gather are the difference between life and death.
That doesn’t mean he isn’t SEETHING on the inside at the person they’re flirting with when they make advances on his S/O.
Most days, he’s fine with it. Really. It’s not like he’s a possessive person…
He’s rather level headed according to HIS friends. And HIS s/o seems to trust him not to make a scene when they do this, and always chooses him to watch their back to make sure that their flirting doesn’t invite danger to them.
They trust him, and he trusts them, he just doesn’t trust the unwelcome third party in these situations.
This is one of the very few situations in which you’ll see him actually acting sullen, though he’ll flat out deny it if someone points it out.
And if, once his s/o returns to his side, he’s holding their hand for the rest of the day, no one says a word. ~~And certainly not his S/O who’s enjoying the sudden display of affection.~~

Headcanon with Noctis & s/o spending time at the Chocobo Ranch. Bonus: The little chocobos follow her/him because they really like him/her for some reason. How will the sleepy prince react ^-^

Awwww. Will do!

Upon arriving at the ranch, the two would split away from the others for a while.

Noctis’ S/O wouldn’t say anything, but he’d still notice that constantly being on the move was starting to wear on them.

He’d be the one to bring up the idea to spend time together, and they’d readily agree. Though, they’d be the one to suggest the Chocobo Ranch.

The others would busy themselves with other things, or even just relax in the caravan. (But Prompto will occasionally sneak up on them to snap a picture or two.)

Their first stop would be Wiz, to get something a snack on before going to see the Chocobos.

It would be then that Noctis’ S/O would notice that they have an admirer.

It’d start with a tugging at their shoe laces and a peep would be heard from under the table.

They’d both look under and see a Chocobo chick trying to get the S/O’s attention. The S/O would laugh and bend down to pick it up, letting it nestle into their lap while they ate.

Absent mindedly, they’d run their hand through it’s feathers and it’d fall asleep on them.

When they’d finish eating, they’d gently wake it and place it back on the ground.

It would be then that they’d go over to the shop and buy some gysahl greens to feed the chocobos in the pens.

Upon arriving over by the pens, one of the older Chocobos would start rearranging his S/O’s hair and clothes, grooming them. It’d then squawk at them indignantly if they tried leaving it. (Perhaps because they now smell like a baby chocobo from the one having slept in their lap?)

So they’d decide to rent a pair and go for a ride around the ranch.

And of course they’d stumble on the race tracks. Noctis’ S/O would automatically want to race. (Because of course they do.)

So they’d give it a try and whoops, they were not expecting that a chocobo could move so fast.

They’d both not really trying to win, they just want to see how fast they could go.

But suddenly a sabertooth would jump out and take a swipe at them. (Where’d it come from?)

Noctis would summon his sword and his S/O would summon their lance and they’d try and take it out as fast as possible. The last thing Wiz needed was another incident like Deadeye happening.

It’d be over quick, but his S/O’s arm would be injured.

Their chocobo would be distraught and would’t let Noctis near them when it realizes that they’re hurt. So they have to ride back to the chocobo ranch before being able to treat it.

They wouldn’t mind, they’d laugh at the situation in all honesty. “I think it adopted me.”

They’d get back, leave the chocobo in the pen (though it’d throw a fit when they walk away) and go to where the others are to pick up a potion for his S/O.

After being healed, they’d just go and sit and pet the chocobo’s for a while.

The baby one from earlier would see them and start hopping along behind them, peeping occasionally to try and get their attention again. And this time it has a friend with it.

They’d entertain the two with attention for a bit before returning their attention to the older ones. They’d go and calm the chocobo they had ridden earlier, and though it wouldn’t understand, reassure it that they’re fine.

It’s nuzzle them, and let them leave after that because…

There would now be three chick following them. Believe me, they’d be confused but Noctis would chuckle at the sight.

They’d allow it and go sit in the grass beside the shop to just sit and talk. Which of course, would allow the three chicks to nestle all around them. They’d peck at Noctis if he tried to touch his S/O.

“I wonder why they like you so much.” “Heck if I know.”

He’d find it SO DAMN CUTE seeing his s/o with the little chocobos.

Cue the resident black chocobo baby hopping along and perching on Noctis. However, they’d be facing his S/O and ignoring him.

They’d both get a laugh out of it, and notice that the others were starting to nestle around them as well.

(Prompto would be dying of the cuteness, and a bit jealous, but taking pictures or the two with all the chicks none the less.)

His S/O would end up with about 5 baby chocobos sitting with them, and Noctis, by proximity, would end up with three.

Wiz would walk over and comment on the amount. Apparently, Chocobo babies weren’t really the cuddly type. (It would normal for the chocobo chicks to take a liking to at least one person a day and follow them around for a bit. But it was a little abnormal that so many liked the same person and even stuck around them for so long.)

Noctis would, oddly enough, be a little proud of his S/O at this.

They laugh it off and comment that animals always seemed to like them.

Eventually though, they’d have to shoo them away so they could retire for the night. (But not without their ‘chocobo mom’ preening them when they pass by before letting them leave for bed.)

The only down side is both parties would be finding chocobo down in their hair for DAYS.

Bonus: Upon meeting Aranea and her seeing how different animals acted around them, she’d mention how their deposition reminded her of the beast tamers in Niflheim, “If you’d grown up there you’d fit right in with them.”

(Lowkey, they’d secretly start trying out some of what Aranea mentions and, to their surprise, it works.) (Now imagine the first time they try this skill out in battle and it works on a coeurl.)

2nd Bonus: I headcanon that Niflheim had a lot of job classes that Insomnia doesn’t. (Like dragoons)

Hi, I’d like a match up! I am a 5’4, 20 year old woman. I have tawny straight hair past my shoulders and green-grey eyes with glasses, and I’m curvy with a bit of chubb. I am extroverted but won’t speak unless spoken to, and love debates, history, books, anime, and video games, but making art is my passion. I am a spitfire who cares deeply about friends and am mature for my age. I swear like a sailor yet I’m classy and polite, but I also have a rather sizeable vocabulary. Thank you!!

I match you with Gladio!

Personality wise, I think you two would mesh very well. Though his main focus is Noctis, he cares for his friends just as deeply. And I think with him initiating the conversations with you, and setting the tone out right, you two would have long talks and maybe even discussions about both your hobbies and duties. That would be the gentle part of this relationship.

You’re both spitfires when it comes down to it. I can picture that if you ever have disagreeing opinions on something, you’d just keep sort of bouncing all that fire off each other, and turning yourselves into infernos. I’m pretty sure you’d both have an extensive vocabulary, and would probably scare the shit out of the other boys when you argue.

But underneath it all you’d get along. You’d love that neither of you will bend so easily. Though, I can imagine that he’d enjoy messing with you by picking you up over his shoulder and just spinning around while you demand for him to stop and put you down. Or you’d just go dead weight and whine at him for tormenting you. (but if he ever took your glasses, you’d probably draw the line there and ignore him until he gave them back.)

I’d like a match up. I’m a guy I’m 6 ft in height and I have green eyes and dark brown hair with glasses. I’m pretty collected most of the time and I’m observant of the people around me and I always consider peoples feelings before speaking. The more I talk to people the more I open up and joke. I can be a little dorky or perverted at times even if it’s just playfully. I love playfully teasing others but if people tease me about things I get of embarrassed but I always try to brush it off.

I match you with Aranea!

Aranea is a tough person to get to know. She seems like the kind of girl that will hold someone at arms length away and try and keep it that way. But your personality rings as sweet. Something that’ll draw Aranea out of her shell a little at a time. It’s would probably start with jokes and playful banter. I can see her full on flirting with you and not expecting anything of it. And teasing you would probably be kept lighthearted, and if she ever felt like she had said something that embarrassed you a bit too much, she’d tone it down right away. (Because, whether she likes it or not, she care about others.)

Your observance would come in handy if you were travelling with her I think. She’s someone who sees the big picture, but not many of the little details. You’d be her eyes for details, and probably her reminder that life doesn’t go from point a to point b without a lot of details. I think after spending time with you, she’d become more observant herself.
