Crystalline Chill

Who: Residents of house C-01 and friends!
When: All throughout May, see prompts and individual threads
Where: House C-01
What: Monthly catchall for the XV House shenanigans
Warnings/Notes: There's likely going to be spoilers for Kingsglaive and the main game up to Chapter 13 somewhere in the comments.


A. Sometimes you just want to ride...
Late in the morning of the 1st, there is a low purring sound of an engine going down the street. One that wasn't accustomed to travel aside by foot or chocobo claw. Yet, somehow, a certain man manages not to clip a single thing. And it sits there, in front of House C-01, black, shiny, and very much a wonder to a few moogles. Especially since the convertible's roof is airship-grade plexiglass.

B. [Insert "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" joke here]
There was one upside to living with the once-deceased leader of the Crownsguard, and that was one didn't have to go far for a training enthusiast. There was also one downside to this: not having to go far for a training enthusiast. It's the crack of dawn when the nice little symphony of insects and kwehs get interrupted by the sounds of wooden weapons clashing and spells being practiced.

Rest in pieces, light sleepers. They apologize in advance.

C. That's it!
Of course, no one can train or go through the day on no fuel. And one person in particular has taken upon himself to at least ensure a few others can eventually cook eggs without burning them. The real question is: Will Ignis come up with a new recipeh involving that jar of kupo nut butter?

D. I want to ride my chocobo all day~
If anyone is surprised at the fact that there are two or three (depending on the date because Chocobo Eater event) lovely birds, then they clearly don't understand at least 50% of the household's love for the magnificent creatures. The black one in particular seems to be particularly happy with their nice little stack of shiny objects...

There may or may not be a pair of glasses on the top of that pile. Sorry, Specs.

E. Hold my Ebony

Ignis listens quietly, eyes catching the small movements of Prompto's hand around his bracelet.

"And you thought that would bother me?" Ignis asks softly. This is just classified as new information in Ignis' head- it doesn't change his view of Prompto at all.

"You've been with us through thick and thin," Ignis says, smiling slightly. "As far as I'm concerned you are Prompto- a Crown citizen, Highness' best friend, a member of the Crownsguard and Prince Noctis' retinue."

He was overemotional at the moment and he wrapped he turned and hugged Ignis, squeezing him a little too tightly perhaps, but it was just because he was so grateful. He shook his head, breathing in a shuddering breath.

"N-No. No actually." Prompto shook his head again. "This is what you said last time. I'm just really glad to hear it again. All of you just were great."

He let out a little sob, or something like it. It was just a really emotional evening.

"It bothers me more than it seemed to bother you guys and I'm just so glad to hear it again. I'm sorry I-" He swallowed. "Still thought you should know."

The hug was surprising, but not unwelcome at all. If it could help Prompto feel just a tad bit better, especially after this news, then Ignis is more than willing to hug him as many times as he needs it.

Last time...? Ah. Probably at some point in the future because Prompto never brought this up in the past. Still- his opinion won't change. He runs his hand up and down Prompto's back slowly, hoping it would offer a bit of comfort.

"It is nothing to apologize for. It is a legitimate fear and nothing to say sorry for." Ignis nods.

The motion is nice and comforting, and it was what prevented him from letting go as quickly as he might have otherwise. Prompto wasn't in the habit of hugging Ignis, granted, he wasn't in the habit of hugging anyone, but it seemed like a necessary thing in that moment.

"I have a lot of stupid fears." He muttered, sometimes Prompto was sick of being scared all the time, but his brain was uncooperative in that department.

"Yeah. Thanks. Just...thanks." He trusted his friends to stand by him, even if he was scared they wouldn't. He wanted his friends by his side. Wasn't that the conclusion he reached?

A lot of them, huh? With what happened to them, they didn't get to talk about out, the chance never appeared. They were all focused on their task. Or, perhaps, this time he spent apart from Noct, things that happened to him made the small fears turn big.

"If there is anything I can do to help you, don't hesitate to ask me." Ignis pauses and pulls back, but only so he can look Prompto in the eye.

"And I mean it. I don't want you to just say it now you will do it without intending to actually go through with it." He knows how you think Prompto. "You are not going to bother me." What would bother Ignis more is Prompto not asking for help, from either Noct or Ignis.

He'd always had fears, some got better, but most didn't and he kept them to himself, at least to the degree they scared him. There hadn't been time to dwell on it. Prompto looked a little surprised when Ignis called him on his worst behaviours.

"Yeah. I mean, I'll try. I don't know what to ask you for." He didn't want to tell Ignis that he'd done stupid things on his own, like hurting himself. It wasn't good, and he didn't want them to think he was unstable, just because he felt unstable.

He was fine.

"I'll be okay, I just...need time or something. I'm...I just block the bad stuff out."

Ignis is just worried about him. He didn't mean to call him out like this but he knows that Prompto has a tendency to not tell if he's in trouble. Somehow, they all kind of have that trait. And it has to change. As soon as possible.

"Anything. I don't know how much I can help you but I want to be there for you. The same way you are always there for Noct and me." He gently shakes his head.

"Sometimes, you can't block the bad stuff out and have to deal with it. When it comes to that, we will be here to support you. All of us. Don't close us off, alright?"

"Thanks Iggy. I'm really...honoured." He flushed slightly because it was hard to describe how flattered he was.

"I'll try not to. I really will." Prompto pushed a strand of hair out of his eyes and he smiled.

"We'll all be okay right?"

Optimism, it was his best weapon.

Ignis is not sure how 'okay' they will all be but. They'll manage. They have time. And by the time they go back, they might have some answers.

...is it bad to hope?

"Yes. We will be."
