(TFLN) NOCTIS > PROMPTO

[lureking]

(ooc: continued from here)

[That all escalated very quickly, but he has no complaints for how that conversation went. Staring at his phone for a moment, vaguely wondering if that meant Prompto was going to come here to his hotel room or not? Or... somewhere else? It was a little unclear and he was far too lazy to double check right now, having flopped back on his bed, deliberating the ceiling.

...Was this really a date?

He's never been on one or instigated..... one? What was even the word for that?

His stomach felt weird. Fluttery and warm. He kept thinking of Prompto's dumb smile and how his freckles really popped when he got flustered or excited. He really was pretty, but Noctis never had the opportunity to act on it? Or he didn't think that it would be mutual so why waste his time?

Groaning softly as he finally gets to his feet, hand dipping under his shirt to scratch lazily at his stomach as he shuffles into the bathroom to freshen up before Prompto gets here.

...

For their date.

Drinks and privacy.]

[That earns a scoff and a wave.]

The one time you show me royal respect and you're sarcastic about it.

[Aha, but now he has his drink and food within reach! That is a plus if he's ever seen one before. Waiting for the pizza rolls to cool, having another sip of his drink... glancing to Prompto.]

Yeah well, you've known that for years. It's not going to stop being true.

[clickclickbang]

And that is why I will never be serious about giving you royal anything.

[Prompto takes a drink of his fruity whatever, grinning]

I know you too well for that.

[lureking]

Good, I don't want royal respect from you. I get enough of it from specs.

[Tapping the side of his drink, another sip. Longer than before. Maybe... he needed some liquid courage? Should he... do something? Was it too soon?

To fill in any awkward silence he is gonna reach over for a pizza roll. Can't be expected to do anything with pizza in your face.]

You like it. [Mumbled around a mouthful.]

[clickclickbang]

[Prompto grabs one at the same time Noct does, shoving it in his face faster because why is this so awkward? It's just his best friend!

Who he wants to kiss.

A lot.

All over.

And who knows this now.

Gods, he's a dumbass.]

Like what?

[lureking]

My laziness.

[Stated simply, finishing his first bottle off wit ease, and taking another pizza roll. At least these were delicious and awful for you.

Iggy would hate it.

Which made them taste better.

Pausing a moment... to casually? Sit a little closer? This should be okay right?]

I can't believe you told me you think I'm gorgeous.

[Said with a grin, a gentle little tease.]

[clickclickbang]

Well, it's true. Uh, both things.

[And he leans back, smiling at Noct through his nerves]

You're a fucking model, Noct and I am so jealous.

[lureking]

I'm alright? I don't think I'm a model, you crazy?

[He pauses then, fighting with himself if he should put his arm around his shoulders or not. Is it too soon? Probably too soon.]

And you need to stop selling yourself short.

[clickclickbang]

No, you are so a model and I am a chocobo nugget. Everyone loves them, no one wants to kiss them.

[lureking]

[His brows furrow at that. Noctis wasn't... good with this sort of thing. Not with words or expressing feelings.

However.]

...That's not true.

What about someone who wants both... of those things?

[The uh. Loving and the kissing. He guesses?]

[clickclickbang]

What, a model and a chocobo nugget?

[They are losers]

[lureking]

No... I.

[MAN. He is the worst at this. Why the hell is someone like Gladio all smooth and good with the ladies? He has muscles. He should share the suave shit with the rest of the class.]

Look at me.

[clickclickbang]

[He obeys, curious and bottle half way to his mouth]

[lureking]

[Hoo.

Okay.

It was less of a thinking thing and more of a doing thing. Reaching over to take the bottle from Prompto's hand, leaning in as he does so, wasting in no time in stealing a kiss.

His heart is hammering hard in his chest, he can feel it. But he's wanted to kiss him forever, and... he was able to now.]

[clickclickbang]

[The offended noise he was making when Noct reached over to take his bottle is quickly replaced by a soft noise of surprise and then Prompto returning the kiss, soft and chaste and very, very nervous.

Score.]

[lureking]

[Blindly he's reaching until he feels the butt of the bottle hit the table, where he haphazardly sets it down without looking. As soon as his hand is free he's cupping Prompto's face properly, so he can deepen the kiss while he closes his eyes. Less chaste this time, still incredibly nervous but... one kiss wasn't enough. He could taste the fruity drink and the pizza roll on him, and... it tasted not too bad honestly.]

[clickclickbang]

[Fruity booze, pizza roll, and Noct.

Maybe not Prompto's favorite flavor, but he approves all the same.

When Noct cups his cheek, Prompto instinctively moves closer and wraps an arm around Noct's neck as they kiss. This was...nice. It was slow and they were still sober and there was no chance of this backfiring on them, right? Right.

It was nice.]

[lureking]

[His palm moving from Prompto's cheek to his neck. Finally breaking the kiss but not fully pulling away, pressing their foreheads together and just... letting the awkward and nervous air between them melt away.

The pad of his thumb gently stroking the curve of Prompto's jaw.]

...Not bad for a chocobo nugget.

[clickclickbang]

[He laughs softly and leans into that touch, playing with the hair on the back of Noct's neck]

You're never letting me that one down, are you?

[lureking]

Nah... it's too good.

[Grinning as he let's his fingers trace down Prompto's neck... then back up to his jaw. Leaning back a bit, to tilt his head up so he can press his lips to the cluster of freckles scattered across the bridge of Prompto's nose.

Fingers curling, catching under the other's chin, guiding him into another kiss... softer and shorter this time.]

How do you wanna... do this. Have another bottle each? Eat more of the pizza rolls and do whatever?

[clickclickbang]

[He turns red under Noct's kisses, the freckles standing out even more before he pulls away to bury his face in Noct's shoulder]

Uh. Booze and food sounds like a solid plan, yeah. Don't want it going to waste after all....and maybe my stomach will stop doing tricks.

[lureking]

I mean... you don't have to be nervous right? It's just me.

[Although he was nervous too. He didn't want to mess up. Prompto is his best friend. And this was... a totally different step to their relationship.

And kissing him sure was addictive. Stroking the back of his neck, pressing his lips to his temple.]

Finish your drink and I'll get us our refills this time.

[clickclickbang]

Just you, my best friend, who I have had a crush on for an embarrassingly long time and who is kissing me. Can't help the nerves, man.

[Prompto smiles and pulls back to down more of his drink]

...your lips are soft.

[lureking]

You think you're the only one with that problem?

[Huffing out a puff of laughter, drawing Prompto a little closer. Not quite on his lap, but pretty damn close. Noctis was having a hell of a time letting him go, it was becoming a problem.]

...Yeah? So's yours.

[He could feel the heat rising up his neck.]

You're uh... real pretty when you blush.

[clickclickbang]

[If Noctis is going to tug him closer, Prompto's going to just slide into Noct's lap himself. Hopefully he read that right.

And of course as soon Noct says that, he turns red again]

I am? How?!

[lureking]

[He read is super right. Arms linking around Prompto's waist, face burying comfortably into his arm. He did smell fresh from the shower... it was nice. And he was warm- which was also nice? He could get used to this, honestly.]

In all the ways.

[Mumbled against him before he pulls back to settle Prompto with a look.]

You're really hot. And pretty? When you blush it makes your freckles stick out, and I like them.
