❀:▹ “Talcott, that’s enough.” She reached up and grabbed him by the ear. “My brother isn’t dead. I promise. He’s fine. Noctis didn’t kill him, either. ”

.❀:▹ @cactuarhunting​ sent:  "Iris, I love you. You're beautiful. You're stunning." Talcott was stammering, Nervous even, hands wringing in front of him as he spoke. "I would live for you, I would die for you. And i'm just gonna ask you one thing." He took a deep breath and gave her the best damn puppy dog eyes he could muster. "Please, can you tell your dad you're pregnant? I wanna live long enough to meet our kid and he scares me."

.❀:▹ She looked up from her book smiling as she heard Talcott’s voice. So many compliments at once, not that she was complaining. He always complimented her with the sweetest things she had ever heard in her life. Truly, she was blessed to have him in her life. However, before she could utter something in response she started to laugh while she took his hands in hers. 

“Talcott, Papa isn’t that scary. He’ll be happy for us. He’s always wanted grand children and since Gladio has Victor, he’ll be happy that he gets to have another.” 

She gave his hands a squeeze while she pulled herself off the couch so that he could hug him properly and nuzzle her face into his chest. 

“If it will make you happy, I can tell Papa but I’d still want you to be there with me. It’s an announcement for the both of us to share.”

.❀:▹ @cactuarhunting​ gets a cute surprise <3

.❀:▹ The pair had been discussing it all day -- a date paired with comfy clothes, smores and movies that would make their entire night together worth it. How she had been WAITING for the time to come. Frankly, it had been too long since the two of them had a date. Yes, it had only been a couple of days, but that was far too long, to Iris. 

She smiled as she ran down stairs to their guest room and knocked on his door, practically bouncing where she stood. 

“Talcott? Are you ready to go?” Iris asked as she clasped her hands behind her back, “We have to hurry if we want to get two movies in before one of us falls asleep!” Not that she minded falling asleep on Talcott, she was just certain he’d grow tired of it eventually.

Song: Smiling When I Die, Sasha Sloan.

● – || The young Prince -- King -- knelt before the little boy that was standing in front of him. He put his hand on his shoulder as he looked up into his eyes so that they seemed to be more equal. There was so much that he wanted to tell Talcott, and so much that he knew the young boy wouldn’t need to know until he was older. Often times, it was the King’s job to share wisdom to his citizens. While his words may not come across as comforting, he felt that they wouldn’t fall on deaf ears.

“It’s been a while since I took a vacation. It’s been a while since I really let go.” Noctis sighed as he continued. “But when I look back, thinking, ‘I could have done this’ or ‘I could have tried that’. I don’t want to look back ‘cause it’s going by fast.”

He gave Talcott’s shoulder a small squeeze as he looked up at him, trying to muster a small smile. “. . . It’s been a while since I’ve been home. Take a trip in the summer, see all the lights in Altissia. Get lost in the desert, just to see what I can find. I want to do all those things so that- . . . “ 

He hesitated but, ultimately, decided to say the rest of his piece.

“So, when it’s my time I’ll be smiling when I die.”
