June Catch-all [OTA + One Closed Prompt]

[clickclickbang]

Who: Prompto + you!
When: First half of June
Where: All over the place
What: Jobs, reuniting with your bffs, shenanigans
Warnings: Awkward flirting? Spoilers for FF15?

Closed: Ignis and Noctis

[Prompto didn't even have to go apply for this job; the person in charge of the delivery service took one look at Prompto taking Primula for a job and practically begged them to play delivery boy. Apparently a giant bird was perfect for carrying packages. Who knew?

They were given directions to the place and they're on their way there now after a stop off at the house to get Prim's saddle and bridle. Of course, Prompto didn't think to kit her up before leaving the house so she is now running off down a side street with her rider chasing after her.]

Get back here! Why does this always happen to me...

Open: Delivery!

[And after that emotional mess of a reunion, Prompto can be found dashing about on chocobo-back as he delivers letters and small packages. Are you a recipient? Are you just walking by as a yellow birdy blur zips past you and maybe knocks you down? Either way you won't catch him until he stops in front of his destination.]

Delivery!

Open: Festival Prep

[He's a busy bee this month, apparently, as he has picked up a second part-time job! Or possibly more, as Prompto seems to be helping out whatever shop will take him that day and that leaves him doing a lot of things.

For some reason, he gets asked to carry things from one place to another a lot and he's not sure why. He's not strong or anything, so he spends a lot of time struggling down the street with the boxes of decorations or whatever it is he's carrying.

This means he can't see or stop very well.

Which means it's only a matter of time before he runs into something and trips. That "something" could be a wall or a tree root or even you.

Either way, Prompto lands face first on the ground with a yelp and a swear. Help?]

Open: Why is This His Life? (Or: Flirting Classes)

[He's not even sure he knows how he got enrolled in this class but HERE HE IS.

Standing outside one of the brothels.

Looking like a man about to go to his death.]

I don't need these classes, do I? I'm not that bad. People like me, right? So I've never had a date, who cares, that stuff's for people with time for that...

Wildcard

[Wanna poke Prompto but don't wanna do these prompts? Hit me up!]

Comments

[quickrecipeh]

[Ignis looks impassively at Noctis upon hearing the news, not entirely surprised the man didn't tell him sooner. He's obviously uneasy about it. But he still wants to get a read on Noct's status and reaction anyway. Nothing much to note, and then Prompto suggest the Bond... Ignis doesn't hesitate.]

I agree. It would probably be the safest route for you, and the easiest to keep things stable. On that note, Prompto... if you find yourself in need of someone, I'll offer the Bond to you, as well. It seems they only strengthen with closeness, and as we're all close comrades, we stand a good chance of my being able to stay stable. There's no need for any of us to carry on alone.

[eluci]

Is it really that bad?

[Does he need to worry more than he is? Or worry for Prompto in the future?

And there the Bond thing has come back up, but at least it's mentioned by two people he knows instead of a group of total strangers he doesn't know if he can trust or not.]

I'm not opposed to the Bond thing if it's with one of you guys...or both of you guys...do you need it, Prompto? [He's not going to force anything on him, but he definitely has a biased opinion on whether his bff should also join the group.]

[clickclickbang]

It's not fun. The first month wasn't so bad, but...

[He shakes his head. He's been scared about this month.]

And...I mean, I should probably start looking for someone to Bond with. It's been crazy, though, so I haven't had a chance.

[Someone save him from himself.]

[quickrecipeh]

[Ignis studies them both for a moment, wholly accustomed to them both dancing around certain things. Honestly, Prompto.]

If it's a problem, you ought to start looking for someone right away. That is, if you're opposed to a Bond with one or both of us. It's no imposition if you want or need it; we're offering.

[eluci]

What Specs said.

[Because he said it better.]

'Cept I'm going to force you if you put it off too long.

[Like he can do that. He can certainly try.]

[clickclickbang]

Pretty sure you can't do that, buddy.

[Can he? But Prompto doesn't say anything for a bit, fidgeting on his chocobo.]

You guys sure? You only just got here.

[quickrecipeh]

If it makes you feel any better, you can pretend it's a royal order from Noct.

[A joke. But then Ignis gets more serious.]

I'm primarily the one who needs to offer, being designated a Witch, and I have no objections whatsoever. I'd gladly do what I can to ease both Noct's burden and yours.

[eluci]

Pretty sure I can try. [And then to Ignis:] Uh...only as a last resort.

[Assuming a royal order would even be enforceable on Eos, let alone an alien world that they don't even know all the basics about.]

[clickclickbang]

I mean...

[He sighs a little.]

Honestly? I'd rather you guys than anyone else.

[quickrecipeh]

[Oh Prompto. Just go with it and don't be an emo bird.]

That sounds like it's settled, then. We'll do it whenever it's convenient for all three of us. Are you two planning to establish one with each other, as well?

[eluci]

Probably? I mean, I can't say no after I said I'd force him into one.

[Would it be awkward to say that he really wants to keep Prompto fairly close after everything that's happened recently? Totally awkward, therefore he's not saying it.]

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, and someone'd probably get grumpy that I'm stealing all his Iggy time~

[Time to tease Noct to hide the feels! He might get too emotional if he doesn't right now, and neither of them need that.]

[quickrecipeh]

[You emotionally repressed babies. Ignis is vastly superior on the hiding-his-emotions front.

Ignis looks between them, secretly (he will never admit it, you will drag it out of his corpse) glad he'll be able to assist them both. Prompto is the mood maker, the heart of their group, and Noct has always needed Ignis in his own ways. He may have had momentary reservations about Gladio not being here to be the shield, but if Ignis can study hard enough and hone his magic skills and control well enough, maybe he'll be just as formidable, as least as far as a Bond is concerned. And he's concerned about that.]

I'll start further research into the Bonds at once. Rest assured, I'll find a way to keep you both in check, and well supported.

[eluci]

[The fact that Ignis said something gets a quick acknowledging nod and then Noctis has to go after Prompto for being, well, Prompto.]

What? No. You make it sound like we're a thing. Shut up.

[clickclickbang]

You said it, not me!

[Sorry Igs, they are children.]

[quickrecipeh]

[Ignis is just. Here. Being bickered across.

Feels normal again. Feels great. Not like all the frantic chaos they've been dealing with.

So he's actually smiling. Staying quiet, but smiling.]

[eluci]

You implied it before I said it.

[So there.]

[clickclickbang]

Nope, you said "we're a thing", not me!

[Boys...]

[quickrecipeh]

You sound like you're fighting over me now. Don't worry, there's plenty to go around.

[That ought to shut them up.]

1/?

[eluci]

Uh...

2/3

[eluci]

We're not--

3/3

[eluci]

What?

[clickclickbang]

[Prompto splutters as they turn down the road with his house.]

How can you just say that with a straight face?

this is a real tag i still love u

[quickrecipeh]

Because I've had plenty of practice dealing with three very rambunctious road trip companions.

[He cleans off his glasses, totally nonchalant.]

You're not the only ones who can make jokes, you know.

Re: this is a real tag i still love u

[eluci]

[Excuse you, he is the least rambunctious of those companions, unless you count the riskier behaviors he tends toward. Other than that he's well-behaved.]

Right...but we're still not fighting over you and no one is a thing.

[Yet.]
