"Wait up, Gladio," Emil said, stumbling after the giant of a man. "I want to give you something. Here!" It was a set of five chocolate lollies, tied in together almost like a bouquet. "I bet you forgot it is Valentine's day today. There is one for you, and one for your friends, and one for your little sister too. Please pass them on in my stead, and don't forget to eat your own! Happy Valentine's day, and thank you for everything you have done to me."

》 He was really about to move out of the door, shouldering a bag for training. He hadn’t thought of the date at all, until Emil mentioned it. He took the bouqet, nearly messing up its intricate structure with his rough grasp.  » N’aww, Emil- it’s no big deal. We have to stick together! « he rumbled, and chuckled, looking at the chocolate and back at the boy.

» Hey, little guy. Why don’t you come out with me? You can hand ‘em to them yourself. Much better, hm? I’ll make sure to keep mine. «  a large hand came to pat the top of Emil’s head. Honestly, the kid needed to get out more, and bonding with the boys could be good for him, and not like he was a serious danger as long as he kept the blindfold on.

The heat in Lestallum was quite a challenge. It was fortunate that it cooled down significantly during the evenings. It made walking around the town far more bearable, enjoyable even. 

“I don’t feel entirely comfortable with the idea of Noctis and Prompto roaming around by themselves.” It was hard to stop worrying for Noctis, even if a rational part of Ignis’ mind reminded him of the fact that Noctis was an adult. So was Prompto, but that didn’t assure Ignis in the slightest.

But he wasn’t here to worry, and he wasn’t here to drag Gladiolus down with his unreasonable anxiety. They had wanted some time for themselves to spend it together, and it was supposed to be enjoyable and relaxing. He let his eyes wander over the various stalls in the market and they lit up when he found some especially juicy-looking vegetables.

“How about a stew for dinner?” He gently halted Gladio by placing his palm on a strong bicep, and gestured towards very bright orange carrots and very lush green salads. “With potatoes and breast from the chicatrices you slayed last night.” Something red caught his eyes, and he was delighted to see it were Lucian tomatoes. “I haven’t had any of those ever since we…took off.” And the price was undermining their now very rare status.

》 He huffed out a stubborn puff of air and crossed his arms. How come they had a moment to enjoy themselves and all Ignis could think of was still his babysitting job?  » Stop being such a worryward for three seconds, Iggy. «  he grumbled, unswinging his arms from where they had been tightly locked on his chest and squeezed his shoulder.  » It’s gonna be alright. It’s safe out here right now. And hey, if there’s harm, as if we couldn’t grab it by the tail before it reaches the kids? «

Honestly, given the current situation, Gladio wasn’t too worried. He was relieved when Ignis at least looked around and decided on dinner. Good. That was more than the ladies he’d been with had managed in most of the cases. What do you want for dinner? was a deadly question. Why was he thinking about girls right now, anyway, when Iggy was right here?  » Hey, I love your cooking, and we can shop some, but I think we could eat out? Just relax? Have one drink? Just tonight, c’mon. «

» It’ll be my treat, too. Tomatoes can hold up 2,3 days right? « his voice softening, he gave him the look of an attention starved pet dog, and he was fully aware of it. » We can have a nice restaurant visit, a walk, and get a nice hotel room after. Alright? «

Iris tips toe and tugs her brother down for a kiss on the cheek. Into his hands go a bag of homemade fudge. "Here you go, big bro! Happy Valentine's Day!"

》 He immensely enjoyed that little smooch. It wasn’t too often that Iris was affectionate like that, and it flooded his chest with warmth. Not that she wasn’t usually a sweetheart, but still. He swelled with pride just thinking that she was his little sister. An Amicitia, too, as she was growing, he was sure she was going to grow up just fine. 

» You had an inkling I wasn’t going to get anything, huh? «  he hummed lowly, though not too serious - he wasn’t upset he was single. He still had time, and was travelling around too much anyway. He accepted the bag happily, and leaned down to return the kiss, brushing her hair away and kissing her forehead. » Thank you, Iris. You’re the best. «

Larsa handed Gladio his folded handkerchief. "Since you and your companions are about to embark on a hunt, I want to give you this. In Archadia, we say it's for good fortune to take someone's handkerchief with you." It was a 'maiden's' handkerchief, but Larsa omitted that part.

》 Gladio blinked slowly, looking at the handkerchief. Somehow it reminded him of a very old fashioned custom - wifes gave those to their husbands before they went to battle, or otherwise life threatening instances.

» Oh. «  The thought had his cheeks and chest feel hot. Gods, was he really this flustered because of little Larsa? He swallowed, and had to turn his face away.

» Thanks, Lars, that’s- «  how could he word it so it did not betray his thoughts?  » -sweet. It’s really sweet. You’re a good one, I mean, how am I supposed to die like that, eh? I’ll come back for sure. «  he muttered, his usual barritone in slight disarray.

( I just want @decordetotaliter Emil and @voxlilium Larsa to meet. )

"Do you ever try to touch the ceiling? Y'know, just... stretch your arm reeeeaaal far?"

》Gladio squinted at him. What was on the kid’s agenda? Oh well. He decided to just follow his lead, and stretched his arms, wanting to humor him. He actually did reach the ceiling.

Emil kept his eyes carefully hidden with trembling hands. He could hear the large sworded man move around in the forest of frozen monsters, searching for the blindfold that had slipped from his grip as he had jumped down from the boulder fortress and faced the large cats eye to eye.

It had been quite dangerous, even though no living creature had successfully avoided his death glare so far. There had been three cats, maybe even four, and if one had sunk it’s claws in his back or zapped him with the tentacle like-whisker… He did not have eyes on his back - praise gods for that, although in situations like these it would have been useful.

These thoughts only occurred to him afterwards. It was good that he had his eyes covered, as otherwise the man might have noticed that he shed a few panicked tears. That had been scary!

“Okay, I’ll catch it!” Emil said. He didn’t, but he found it sitting on top of his head. Keeping his eyes securely closed, he wrapped the blindfold around his head with blind fingers and sighed in relief.

“I know,” Emil said, slowly standing up again. “I wish I could explain myself. I don’t even know where to start. Thanks for saving me! I wasn’t sure if they’re friendly not, so I didn’t want to kill them at first.”

There was a small pause. Was he going to be left wandering the desert for all eternity?

“Hey, uh?” he said with a tentative smile. “How did you get here? I could use directions to… to… find humans, I think.” He tried not think how any person in their right mind would shun him. Who would ever take the risk of providing shelter to a weapon?

》 Was that... an explanation? Not really, so Gladio was wary, crossing his arms tightly as he listened to the kid. In other circumstance he would have been so suspicious that his next decision would have been a more cold hearted one, but this was a kid, just a child, a sort of blind one at that, and like hell was he going to leave it to himself in the desert. 

» Just know that if you’re roaming around here, if it ain’t got a human voice or a chocobo caw it’s safe to assume it wants to kill you. «  he murmurs, still watching the kid as if the small one was going to run away.

» I jogged here, my morning run. «  he explained, and stomped closer to where the boy was standing.  » I’ll take you to the city. I got things to do today, but if you got nowhere to go, I’ll drop you off somewhere safe. «

Gladio made it sound as though it was a fixed plan, and no objections would be valid. » C’mon, we’re heading back. «

@gladiosertor cont from here

its not the first time he’s seen it, gladio almost subconsciously preparing for danger. its a testament to how seriously he takes his job that even barely awake he’d be ready to put himself between noct and any threat. not for the first time he wishes that gladio wasn't’ in this kind of position, that he could just live normally.

if noct had his way they all would but that was far from an option now. gladio’s warm lips on his skin pulled him from his guilty thoughts and back to were he was wrapped in his shield’s strong arms. he needs this, a moment of reprieve, something that is just the two of them outside of their responsibilities. 

tipping his head back he let his fingers brush through his shield’s thick dark hair. “come here.” he murmurs, lips seeking gladio’s out again. 

》 He’s glad Noctis doesn’t even attempt to be coy or push him away. Mornings are good. The prince is more pliant, then, even if he had been the one to wake Gladio up in the first place. He uses that moment to push his lower body between the boy’s legs, and continues to attack his throat with kisses and nips until he’s told otherwise and obediently straightens up. 

Their lips meet, and he feels calm, shifting to cup his pale face in both his hands, thumbs calloused as they brush over Noct’s cheeks and Gladio distances himself just to peer at him. 

The shield’s eyes are full of warmth, admiration, but there is a little something naughty mixing with that. It is clear he doesn’t want to let the prince go anywhere.  » Hrrn... «  he lets out an incomprehensible grunt, feeling guilty suddenly.  » Noct, I want you, but if I do, you won’t be able to walk all day and there will be a lot of running... «

[gladiosertor]

Dang, that’s cute.

They seem like good friends.

Needy prince needs kisses

FIRST FIVE ASKS GET A KISS 4/5

》 It was weird for Noctis to be so pliant. That little brat wasn’t that prone to showing weakness, but there he was, head on his lap, staring up at him. It was obvious what the stare meant, but Gladio loved to tease him anyway, reaching down to squeeze his face between his thumb and index finger instead, chuckling lowly at how he looked like all squished. 

» Something you wanna tell me? «  voice a growl, but affectionate, eyes warm, he let go to just rub his thumb over his cheek instead. »Something wrong, your higness? «  Gladio knew he had to stop teasing eventually, though, and leaned down to press a misplaced and scratchy kiss onto his chin. Well....almost stop teasing.

          Prompto’s breathing begins to even out, panic bleeding from his system like a drip. He narrows his eyes at the eruption of laughter, though. “What’s so funny?!” he exclaims, stomping his foot. “That thing clearly had it out for me!!” He watches Gladio coming apart with a dirty look, about five seconds away from pouting. 

          “Shut up!! You were scared, too!! You should’a seen your face when it got up again, Mr. Tough Shield.” He shoves the older man, annoyed but smirking. “That’s all it takes to break ya down, huh?? Little paranormal spider??”

》 He blinked slowly at the teasing. It managed to make him stop laughing, and Gladio shoved him back,  huffing, accidentally using a bit much energy and shoving the kid a fair bit.  » Hey. It was all weird, of course it confused me! «

He didn’t stay mad for long, though, and headed in on him to pinch him.  » You got no basis for makin’ fun of me! “Ohhhh, Gladio, safe me!!” I got your faces on camera, too. If anyone’s outta be teased, it’s still you, buddy. «

   out of the corner of her eye, she can see he is seated in his chair reading a book. a soft smile pulls at her lips as she quietly approaches him from behind. eyes skim over the words for a moment before she slams her hands on his shoulder & says, ‘ BOO! ‘

» What the- «  the huntress nearly had him scream. Assaults like those were typical for her, but he just couldn’t get used to them.  » Rin... «  he muttered and peered at her over his shoulder.  » D’you need my help with something? «  his book was hard to put down, though.

was that his ass he just straight up paralysed the fucker from the waist down. i’m not complaining 10/10 for technique

when amicitias do something they do it right no doing things halfway it’s either a light slap on the ass or one that goes up your entire spine and makes you scream
