can we climb this mountain ( OPEN )
Who: Noctis and YOU.
What: Catchall.
When: Latter half of the month.
Where: All around.
Warnings: Nothing currently. Will update if necessary.
[ Noctis is getting into the swing of things here. He's still a little restless from not doing things like hunts, or helping people by going on fetch quests, but... it could be worse. He has Prompto and Ignis here, so everything is fine. Still, he needs to actively go out and find things to do.
So.
If you happen upon him in the audio/visual center, he grins and raises a hand to wave. ]
Hey. [ He points to the DDR machine. ] Feel up for a challenge?
[ He's in the library here and there, too. He's not really looking for anything in particular, but there's a lot. Maybe there's something familiar? Some days, he seems to be looking for something. Other days, he can be found curled up in a chair, a book on diseases in his lap. He's also asleep, oops. Come nudge him or whatever; Delilah is there curled up on his shoulder, whenever he naps.
At night, he's found on the roof. It's beautiful, and Noctis gazes up at the stars with a quiet, thoughtful expression.
And then there are some days when he goes to the beach. He's ditched his jacket, and after stretching out a bit, he takes a quick jog. Then... he summons his father's sword in a burst of light, and-- throws it? He disappears, then reappears, with that blue light following him. This, he repeats several times, until he's bent over at the waist, hands on his knees, breathing hard. After a period of rest, he repeats.
It seems like he's pushing his limits, seeing how far he can go. ]

no subject
It's both of you, honestly. You're both important to me, and you've helped me in different ways.
no subject
Mm. Good, I like that. And we'll both help Iggy, too, as much as we can. [Firmly:] We'll be okay.
no subject
[ He's still holding Prompto, like it'll take an army to pull them away. This is nice. Just this. Just them being normal guys.
They have chances here that they couldn't, back on Eos. ]
As long as we have each other, it'll be okay. [ A pause. ] Just... wish we had the big guy here.
no subject
Just like him to turn up late, isn't it? He's always got to make an entrance.
[Gently, he noses against the side of Noct's neck, and then places a delicate kiss on his cheekbone, just under his eye.]
He'll turn up. I know he will. ...I don't think there's anything that would keep any of us from your side, Noct. Not even crazy alternate dimensions.
no subject
He'll probably burst in looking all cool. Show-off.
[ He chuckles a little. ]
He'd be a pretty crappy Shield if he didn't follow us.
no subject
Hey, if he's not here, does that mean I can be, like, your temp guy? Like a substitute Shield? I'm tough!
no subject
You really want to? I mean-- yeah, that'd be awesome, actually.
no subject
[Noct. Noct. What are you doing.]
Dude. You're gonna be so safe. The safest.
no subject
Honestly, you've kind of always been a Shield.
[ ... ]
Of my heart.
[ noct. ]
no subject
[His hands cup Noct's cheeks.]
That was super, super dorky to say. I say this totally affectionately. You're a dork.
no subject
Yeah, well, so are you. You're way dorkier than I am.
no subject
Nuh-uh! Says who? I'm gonna need to see some scientific backup there, Mr. Assassin's Toebeans!
[He sits up more and takes Noct's hands to tickle the upper parts of his palms.]
no subject
[ But he laughs and intertwines their fingers, holding his hands. ]
Now you can't tickle me.
no subject
Says who?
[It still makes him go warm and pink, being this close, but then he nuzzles Noct's cheek lightly, light enough to tickle, to sweep his loose hair across his face, too.]
no subject
[ He laughs again, softer. ]
Proved me wrong, I guess. Not that I'm complaining.
no subject
[Noct has his hands now, though, and he's warm and smiling under him, and Prompto sighs comfortably and sinks onto Noct's chest once more.]
...I still can't believe this is real. You know? That you really... I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Any world.
no subject
You took the words right out of my mouth, buddy. You're the best friend I could ask for, and now you're my boyfriend? I'm a lucky guy.
no subject
I'm your boyfriend.
[He sits in that for a second, memorizing the rise and fall of Noct's breath, the warmth of his face in his hair, and then wiggles his fingers free just so he can curl his arms around Noct instead and burrow in.]
Nope. Still sounds like a dream or something. You, me, the stars... It's all right out of a movie. This stuff doesn't happen for real. But don't wake me up?
no subject
[ He lets Prompto wrap his arms around him, and he holds him close. It's so normal that it's weird, but it's nice.
He doesn't want to leave, ever. ]
Nah... how about I kiss you instead?
no subject
[He lifts his face to smile shyly at him, but doesn't move up to make it easy for Noct. It's almost like the opposite of how they met--Noctis waiting for him to make a move, Prompto finally breaking the distance like it was never there.
Your move, buddy.]
