"You got Noctis. Do the thing."

[ Time and sunrise are kind of weird here, but nonetheless you know Gladio is up at the crack of dawn, ready to get that blood going. ]

Rise and shine, Your Highness. It's work out time.

[kittycaterer]

[ Somehow, he's managed to answer his phone in his sleep. Probably because he thought it was his alarm, and instead of hitting snooze, he hit answer. ]

Mmfh.

[ He just hung up on you. ]

[manspreading]

[ One more chance... don't say he never did anything nice for you, Noct. ]

I'm giving you one more chance before I march in there and pull you out of bed, princess.

[kittycaterer]

[ Wow, why does his alarm keep going off like that? Whack! ]

action time!

[manspreading]

[ Well, he gave him two chances that's two more than usual so you can bet your ass that Gladio is now stepping into Noct's room, slamming the door open and raising his voice to wake Noct the fuck up. ]

Noct! Get your ass out of bed!

[ Despite the annoyance in his voice, he's smiling. He will pluck you out of bed if you don't move, Noctis, here he comes.... ]

o SHIT

[kittycaterer]

[ Wow, Gladio. Wow. You do realize that Luna sleeps in here too, right? Even though Noctis almost jolts out of bed, Gladio gets an abrupt turn of his head. Noctis' eyes are still closed, and his hair is a right mess. ]

Wh--

[ Noctis groans, putting his pillow over his head. And yes, you bet your ass he's starting to scoot towards Luna to hide under her. Even if that won't work, considering the still-asleep prince has his leg dangling off the side. ]

Too early.

[ Yup. Just yanked the blanket over the both of them. ]

swoops in, swoops out

[devotional]

[ Lunafreya had been awoken by Gladio's first attempt at calling, and she'd heard him well enough to put together what was going on around her. She doesn't make any noise, but she jerks as the other man bursts into the room, though her face splits into a sleepy smile at him even as Noctis tries to seek shelter underneath her.

With the gentlest of movements, Lunafreya shifts away from Noctis, lightly pushing the blankets off of him in favor of gathering them up and bunching them around herself. Gladio's presence can do nothing but Noctis a world of good, as far as she's concerned, and she looks up to the king's shield and grins, nodding conspiratorially as if to say, "he's all yours." ]

hiding behind your girl, noct??? wooow

[manspreading]

[ Gladio shares a conspiratory grin with Lunafreya, bowing his head in gratitude before tucking his arms under Noct's neck and knees. Princess carry time. ]

Wakey wakey, princess.... Your girlfriend sold you out!

[ He's being gentle, see? Well, except for the part where he pulls him out of bed very suddenly, practically shaking him as he pulls him up. ]

his bed is warm and there is a girl in it WHAT WOULD YOU DO

[kittycaterer]

[ He's practically still asleep during this entire protest, only partially conscious. And at least conscious enough to hope that clinging to Lunafreya will garner some sort of sympathy for him. But that obviously does him no favors, because he feels the blankets being taken off of him and her inching away from him at the very last second. ]

[ His eyes pry open when Gladiolus has started picking him up forcibly from the bed bridal style. Noctis' last ditch-effort is to grab the blankets Lunafreya has stolen from him in her betrayal. ]

Ten more-- AUGH!

[ Noctis is suddenly wide awake, kicking and thrashing in Gladio's grip. ]

Okay, okay! I'm up! Put me down!

[ Noctis is currently pushing the heel of his hand at Gladio's chin. WHY MUST LUNA BETRAY HIM? ]

3/12 close to noon

[mercurio]

[did prompto sit out here in the common room, waiting for noctis to come out of his (shared?!) room (with lunafreya...!?), just to tackle his best friend into a tight one-armed hug? that's right. normally, prompto wouldn't care to burst into his best friend's room and dive bomb into the bed, but lady lunafreya is there, too!]

[which is why he had to re-evaluate his strategy]

[(prompto doesn't realise lunafreya's already out of her room, as he had fallen asleep on the couch for a few minutes or half an hour)]

Hey, dude! You wanna come around and explore? Been meaning to map out the area for myself.

[he knows it might be a drag, but... it's a bit hopeful. they haven't been able to hang out a lot on their own while here, and things have always been one step away from awkward when they don't ignore the elephant in the room.]

Please?

[prompto misses his best friend]

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis hasn't "slept in" for some time now. Gladio doesn't let him. But he can't stop Noct from carting his ass right back to bed after their morning runs. Besides, who could blame him for wanting to get a little more time snuggled up to Lunafreya before morning breaks? This time, he apparently only got a little time, because when he rolls over, he discovered her side of the bed is empty. ]

[ With a sigh, he gets up, walking out of the room after he's dressed in his black jeans and loose-fitting t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes and yawning by the time Prompto practically jumps on him. ]

Hn--!

[ Noctis grunts, forced to bow forward a second as he tries to regain his balance. ]

Explore?

[ He yawns. ]

Uhhhnnnn... yeah, sure. Don't have anything planned.

[mercurio]

Great!

[he offers noctis a playful punch to his side, grinning and laughing softly at the easy agreement. he lets go of his friend, basically pushing him to the--bathroom? bathroom.]

[hands on his shoulders, walking behind noctis, but not quite letting go yet]

Go get ready! I'll bring my camera.

Oh-- would you mind if we stop by the clinic for a bit first?

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis softly huffs as Prompto starts to literally shove him into the bathroom. It's not that he isn't used to Prompto's enthusiasm, it's that he just woke up from a nap and isn't prepared for it. Still, he doesn't protest, because it seems like his friend is pretty excited. Last thing he wants to do is ruin that. ]

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

[ He's already dressed, but it wouldn't hurt to brush his hair and wash his face. When he stops in the bathroom, he looks to Prompto to answer his question. ]

Huh? What for?

[mercurio]

[prompto stops, too, but not without first jumping up onto the counter and finding a place to wait for noctis right there. despite it all, he's still bouncing his feet against the cupboard.]

Hm.

[he points at the scar on the side of his face, moving hair to the side, the stitches an eyesore on the already healed cut.]

I think I can get these taken out now.

[turning to the mirror, one knee up, he leans in close to fix his hair while softly touching at the thread]

Don't think I wanna do that myself...

[kittycaterer]

That doesn't sound potentially dangerous at all.

[ Isn't she like, 12 Prompto? ]

Re: Text

[mercurio]

she's actually pretty good at handling guns! we went for some shooting practice the other day and she's got a sharp eye!
it's just that she doesn't have that much ammo on her rifle? and, well considering my guns don't really need it...
i just wanted to make sure it was cool with you

[since. lucian guns, or whatever]

[kittycaterer]

Isn't she a little young?

Hey I'm not exactly the King here. Do what you want. Long as she doesn't get hurt, it's fine by me. Wouldn't be too good if she shot someone by mistake either.

Where are you anyway?

Re: Text

[mercurio]

yeah, but.... it's dangerous out here
she's not exactly into being around others..

[he worries, basically]

i'll take full responsibility!

Re: Text

[mercurio]

uh do you need me for something?

Text

[kittycaterer]

[ He's kind of worried about that but... Noctis is also aware people come from different worlds here.]

No worries. It's not like I don't trust you, Prompto.

And you've been gone for hours. I thought you'd be back by now. You were the one who wanted to get more food.

Re: Text

[mercurio]

[his chest hurts, lying to his best friend like this. pretending cheer when he's anything but.]

i got sidetracked
you know me, always goofing off and going about taking pictures...

[his camera's screen is cracked from when he dropped it on the ground. he's refused to turn it on since.]

Re: Text

[mercurio]

[maybe you shouldn't trust me]

Re: Text

[mercurio]

sorry noct

[kittycaterer]

[ He literally has no idea what happened, and while that's the case? He can't help but worry a little. It's a small bout of worry, mostly because Prompto is usually on it when it comes to spending time with Noctis. It's an endearing part about him that the prince enjoys. He can never shake the guy off, so this is weird. ]

[ Noctis is also completely horrible with social queues, so he's mainly focused on the fact that Prompto isn't home when they had plans. ]

For what? Just get back before I decide to go scavenging myself. I'm starving.

[ There's that princely attitude. But it's nothing far from the norm. ]
