Gladiolus cheating on S/O Part 3

Hey guys :) Here’s the last part of Gladiolus’ cheating.

Poll results are at the bottom so I won’t spoil the outcome^^.

1st Part ; 2nd Part ; 3rd Part // Noctis cheating 1 ; 2 ; 3 // Prompto cheating 1 ; 2 ; 3 // Ignis cheating 1 ; 2 // Ravus cheating

Words: 3700+

Genre: Angst, heartbreak, getting better, life changing decisions

Spoilers: None

Trigger warnings: Cheating, depression, disability

There was no light at the end of the tunnel. She tried to move on, tried to find forgiveness in her heart for him but it was impossible. Gladiolus' selfishness and ignorance regarding her complicated pregnancy were what caused her physical disability.. How could she ever forgive something so severe, something so life changing?

She was missing out on her baby's life, couldn't take part in most activities, couldn't teach her how to walk or write, couldn't even protect her alone. It was all Gladio's fault.. And that upset her greatly. Nonetheless, she tried. She really did. Eventually, she finally gave in and even exchanged kisses with him - for the sake of Heather. Although it hurt her and every physical intimacy reminded her of how other females had the privilege to touch him, too, she thought of her little girl that wanted her parents to be happy so badly. Heather was old enough to understand that they had been fighting, that something was wrong. Of course, she always asked, was noisy but to fix it, she always demanded her parents to hug. Each and every time, they did as she asked, holding up the façade of a happy family. Both wanted their daughter to experience that happy, unbreakable family. But it was unbearably hard.

All Gladio's 'I love you's, subtle touches, delicate kisses.. They kept breaking his S/O's heart. Over and over again. For the moment it lasted, it felt good.. But so bittersweet. Knowing she was slowly but surely sliding out of his hands worried him greatly. He bought gifts, made food, invited her to dates but it wasn't easing the pain in her heart. With each improvement she managed to accomplish, he started getting more anxious about her leaving. Imagining to lose both his girlfriend and their daughter scared him endlessly. Gladio was well aware that this was his mistake, that he was the one causing all this; it was his dream to make it all up. But that was a dream that would probably never come true.. He'd have to live with this guilt until the day he'd die. All he could do was support her, pay her bills as much as he could and care for their daughter. He dedicated his life to them.

Gladiolus cheating on fem!S/O Part 2

Heya guys! Here it finally is! :D

1st Part ; 2nd Part ; 3rd Part // Noctis cheating 1 ; 2 ; 3 // Prompto cheating 1 ; 2 ; 3 // Ignis cheating 1 ; 2 // Ravus cheating

Words: 2900+

Genre: Angst, heartbreak, betrayal, lies

Spoilers: None

Trigger warnings: Cheating, depression, disability

Roughly three years had passed since Gladio's beloved girlfriend had a terrible stroke resulting in brain damage. It's also been three years since Gladiolus dared to cheat on her with two girls at the same time. And, of course, it's been three years since their daughter was born.

To say those years were anyhow easy would be a huge lie. After Gladio's S/O woke up, she couldn't speak, couldn't walk and her right side was paralyzed. Their daughter had to be brought to life by a cesarean. But even after the little angel was laid down on her mother's chest, her mother could barely hold her.

She spent months in therapy. Her talking, reading and writing all had to be worked on along with her movements. There was still hope for her to - at least partly - regain control of her right side again. The little glimpse of hope that she could potentially move properly again, was enough to commit to all kinds of therapy. But that meant sacrificing time with her precious baby girl and forcing Gladiolus to work harder.

While her ability to talk came back faster than anyone expected, her writing and reading were still lacking months later. She still struggled to comprehend the words shown to her and couldn't write the majority of it. It certainly didn't help that she used to be right-handed and could no longer use that hand. She really had to start over learning how to write.

How the chocobros spend Christmas with their S/O

Hey guys :)

Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great day!

We’re so close to this coming to an end, it actually makes me sad D: We got 3 more days to go: one for tomorrow, one to make up for missing the 1st December and one to make up for the 21st. I hope you could, so far, enjoy this.

Words: 2600+

Genre: Fluff I guess ^^

Spoilers: Late game spoilers for Ignis

Noctis:

The prince usually starts off the day by waking his S/O with breakfast in bed that he - for once - made himself. Much to everyone's surprise, he's not even that bad of a cook - he just doesn't like cooking. They'll both enjoy some early Christmas movies on TV while they eat their thorough breakfast. Intimate gifts are exchanged throughout the morning because they'll head over to the citadel in the evening and usually don't want the king to ruin it. Those gifts can be expensive jewelry, a photo book consisting of all the photos they took that year or also something that's a tad bit awkward such as plushies. They really just exchange gifts that they don't want the king to see, some other ones will be spared for later. After that, they'll just play some games before ultimately getting ready. Although it's really "just" Noctis' father and Regis always insists on how he doesn't want Noctis' partners to see him as the king, they both put on fancy clothes. While his S/O is still getting ready, Noctis cleans the place. Once either are dressed up and ready to go, it's actually Ignis that drives them to the citadel. But you bet Ignis will get a little gift and some hugs, too. Noctis won't just take his service for granted.

Regis only invites his son over for Christmas but he can, if he wants, bring his partner. Due to all the days Noctis' spent alone in his room, Regis loves to see him with some company. It also warms his heart to know that his usually so gloomy son can be so incredibly happy. He also firmly believes that Noctis won't just bring anyone to the citadel, only the lovers that he truly does love with all his being and knows he wants to keep forever. And that's true.

At the citadel, Regis will be waiting with a huge, luxury dinner. The place is covered in Christmas decorations and tons of lights - the tree is insane as well. Once the dinner is over, they'll just talk for a while - which is, admittedly, quite awkward for his S/O. It'll be Regis that leads them towards the chimney and tree to unpack some gifts. Of course, he got something for Noctis' potential spouse, too. And you bet that just makes this whole thing a little more awkward - especially if they'd only been dating for a bit - because that gift is bound to be expensive. Even if Regis doesn't want to admit it, since his dear wife died, he had been quite lonely, too. Now that Noctis' partly moved out, he just feels even lonelier and is always happy when his son comes around. Buying expensive gifts is one form for him to express his gratitude. However, of course, Noctis' S/O can't afford such a pricey gift.. But of course, they got one for the king as well. To be honest, it's quite the joke besides Regis' gift for them. Nonetheless, Regis is grateful. He would never complain about a "cheap" gift.

To ease the mood a little, they might be playing some board games afterward while some alcohol flows. Yes, even Regis drinks like a madman. Sometime later, their ways will part. Noctis and his S/O will head to Noctis' room at the citadel. If they're gonna extend the night by some little lovemaking or not is up to them but you bet he'll cuddle them all night long and continuously shower them with kisses.

He once again realizes that he loves them incredibly much and can't imagine anyone else besides him.

Prompto:

He'll be like a little kid. Full of excitement, happy, eyes shining brighter than anything. And he actually can't sleep because he's excited to spend Christmas with his S/O.. Instead of alone. Aside from that, he's looking forward to seeing his S/O's eyes when they see the gift he bought them.

The Chocobros handling sadness

Hey guys! :)

I felt inspired by myself.

Spoilers: Very mild ones

Noctis:

Whenever Noctis feels incredibly sad, he hides behind a façade and to keep a cold demeanor. He doesn't like sharing his struggles and is used to keeping it all to himself. Usually, he cries late at night when no one - perhaps except for Umbra - is around. Sometimes, when he can't take it no more, he'll listen to loud music while he cries. It drowns out his crying noises. Not once would he speak to his father about it - he always considered him too busy and someone he'd just disturb. However, because his appetite dies down whenever he's sad, his father noticed. Aside from that, Noctis chooses his clothes based on how he feels. They'll be less colorful when he's miserable. That sure was another thing his dad realized but whenever he was trying to help, Noctis always blocked him out. He prefers to battle things on his own so he won't be a burden to anyone else.

The only people that are likely to ever witness his emotional side showing are Prompto and Ignis because he trusts them more than anything. Sure, Gladio is his best friend, too, but he assumes he'd just be met with judgment from him.

Prompto:

Although he wants to be hard and cool like Gladio, he can't. He absolutely sucks at hiding his sadness. In terms of anger and happiness, he's pretty good, but sadness always overwhelms him. Before you know it, he just starts crying - he's a very emotional guy. Sometimes he tends to bottle up his emotions, tries to be the tough guy for a while, but then fails dramatically. He's pretty open-minded about how he feels - as long as he trusts someone. Noctis will surely know when his friend feels terrible. Actually, he probably listens to Prompto cry quite often. He sheds his heart out to Noctis - and only Noctis. Yes, he's friends with Ignis and Gladio, too.. But he honestly doesn't want the whole group to know he's a “weakling”. His origin always makes him feel like he has to try harder, has to gain his worth but those thoughts really just make him sadder. So when he's already sad, then starts considering his role in the group, he feel's utterly terrible.

Prompto is also one of those guys you have to approach. Notice he's sad? Better talk to him about it. He won't spill the tea right away, but he won't lie when you ask him. It’s rare that he brings it up on his own.

Ignis:

He's got no time for emotions. He's the king of all facades. There's not a single time where Ignis shares his sadness with others right away. May they be on a trip or at home, he will keep it to himself. As the prince's advisor, he had always been taught that Noctis is his top priority. Ignis' life wasn't as valuable as Noctis'. In return, he started suppressing his emotions and put Noctis first. Ever since he started working for him, his life had been about the prince. Day and night. But due to suppressing his emotions, he often finds himself awake at night, overthinking. It's always in the middle of the night and usually when he's off duty for a day, that he finds himself getting overwhelmed. If he cries, he only ever cries at night. As someone with a fairly tight schedule, he never allows himself to take enough time to care for himself. Even when he does get overwhelmed, he tries to calm himself as fast as possible.

If someone asks him about his well-being, so happens to notice that he's sad, he won't hesitate to lie. His health is his issue and only his, he doesn't want to be a burden to anyone by sharing his struggles.

Gladio:

Won't ever let sadness get in his way. Although he feels it, he doesn't act on it - he only ever let's his anger out. Actually, his anger is so severe due to all the suppressed sadness. He has been raised believing that crying means weakness and he, as the King's shield, doesn't ever want to look weak. Gladio aspires to be perfect but that often leads to frustration. His father, when he was around, was very strict and controlling of his training. He was trained to the brink of tears and then yelled at for crying. So just like Iggy, he learned to hold back his sadness. It's - at most - happening twice a year that he loses it and actually starts shedding tears. If it does, he'll be all alone, probably showering so he won't have to feel the tears run down his skin. It'd make him feel like a disgrace. While his father's death didn't surprise him, he was still in shock. However, due to his duty, he managed to ignore his feelings for as long as he possibly could. The only chocobro he trusts enough not to mock him about his sad-side is Ignis. He feels a close connection to him.

The chocobros and long-distance relationships

Hii :)

Aaah, I’m late! For today I decided to write about what the pre-game chocobros think about long-distance relationships and what they’d be like if they were in one.c:

Words: 2400+

Spoilers: Nope

Noctis:

Well, since he's been on, more or less, romantic terms with Lunafreya before, he has a little experience. He doesn't actively try to avoid being in a long distance relationship, wouldn't break up with his partner simply because they had to move further away. To him, distance doesn't matter as much. If you happen to meet through social media and he feels a connection, grows feelings for you, he'll surely tell you. The future king is convinced that falling in love over the internet is possible. Sure, he's a little cautious at first but he's also quick to open up. While distance doesn't matter all that much to him, he'd, of course, love to hold you all day long and cuddle up to you at night. But if that's not possible, he's definitely up for waiting.

Noctis is a very patient person after all.. At least for the majority of the time. It's just that, sometimes, when you guys talk to each other on the phone or even resort to video chatting, he starts to desperately long for you. He loves to see your face, see the corners of your mouth lift when you smile or hear you hum your favorite tune. Sometimes it certainly depresses him that he can't see you in person whenever he wishes. If the only obstacle would be money, he'd just pay for everything.

However, if something was ever to happen to you, Noctis would drop everything and make the impossible possible. Due to him being the prince and future king, he fears someone could be after you, too. That's why he's constantly on the edge if you don't reply for a few hours. He almost sent troops out to storm into your apartment once and prepared for a fight but, fortunately, you replied just in time and he could abort the mission. But that made him so anxious, he had to go see you. So he convinced his father to let him visit you over the following weekend. Usually, the king did not allow such visits as Noctis had tons of duty on weekends since he attended school throughout the week but when the king saw how worked up his son was, he let him go. You bet once he's older enough, he'll surprise you with visits every other day. And until then, you're welcome to stop by whenever you can.

Noctis loves to send you flowers or other little gifts to surprise you and whenever he's out of Insomnia, he'll send you postcards of his current location. You better be ready for a spam of pictures because that dude honestly shares everything with you. You're constantly on his mind... And he really wishes you would be with him. But instead of being all negative, he looks forward to when he can finally look into your beautiful eyes in person and place a gentle kiss on your tempting lips (again). Honestly, this guy loves you with all his heart and although you're physically separated, he feels such a deep connection to you that he's willing to go to the end of the world just to meet you once (again).

Prompto:

So up for it! Although he is actually quite clingy and loves to snuggle, he would totally sign up for a long-distance relationship. Especially if you've already known each other for a while and you happened to move away. If it happens to be a relationship starting online, he might be a little hesitant at first as he fears that you're fake, but once he knows you're not someone just trying to mock him, he's all up for it. It might take a bit but he'll open up and let you in. However, it'd have to be you telling him about your feelings because he's too shy to admit he loves you via the internet. Perhaps it's in his nature but sometimes he's a little too naïve. At first, he thought, a long distance relationship wouldn't be much different from a close distance one. Well, when he had a really bad day and felt alone, that's when he realized that it wouldn't be the same. Nonetheless, he's still up for it.

Since he loves to travel and takes tons of photos of every situation, you better get ready for your phone blowing up with notifications. He'll constantly post photos on his Instagram account and will tag you on any and everything reminding him of you. Prompto is probably the one that spends the most time on social media and therefore has tons of knowledge about it compared to the other chocobros. He knows about websites that let you watch movies together even if you're far apart. You love video games? Good because Prompto will definitely ask you to play with him through online-multiplayer modes.

Whenever he travels around, he makes sure to stop by your place as well. Would love to tag you along but if you can't, that's fine, too. He totally understands if you don't want to neglect your responsibilities like Prompto tends to. Skipping school? Not attending tests? Not handing projects in on time? Yeah.. He's done it all just to see you because you're his no.1 priority.

He will absolutely shower you with love whenever he's with you. As mentioned before, he's kinda clingy, so when he's with you, he'll constantly want to hug you, kiss you - anyhow touch you to feel close to you. But he'll also care for you like no one else. Hungry? He'll get something or cook for you. Feeling sick? You bet he'll do everything he possibly can to make you feel better: bring you a tea, a heating pad, prepare a soup for you, massage you, buy you some medicine. He totally pampers you when you guys are with each other. Leaving you always hurts his heart greatly. But honestly, who would not feel that way? Tears are always flowing, even if he tries to stay strong. But what makes it bearable is that he knows he'll see you again soon.

Ignis:

Problematic. He's very busy tending to Noctis, basically performing as his mother, and on top of that, he has to learn everything related to Insomnia: all relations throughout the continents, the past kings and even some laws. Oh, and let's not forget about his education. He's still attending school, too. For the sake of his performance, he chose to refrain from anything love related for as long as he possibly could. But when he first met you, in person or online, he fell head over heels. Your smile made his heart race. For the longest time, he dismissed his feelings but when you eventually did the first move.. He lost it. Now Ignis is more of a realist. He's not necessarily negative but certainly not always positive. A long distance relationship didn't sound like something he wanted to commit to at first. It just sounded like it'd take more time off than he could afford. Regardless of that, he still gave it a chance because he was interested in you. Although your appearance caught his attention, it's your character that makes him stay. It's the reason he gives this a shot.

But as time goes on and your relationship becomes more and more serious, he starts to regret his choice. It's not because of you - no, not at all. But he wishes to be with you more often, hates how it drains both of your moods that you can't just grab a cup of coffee or take a walk in the park together.

He sends you love letters, flowers, his favorite books, clothes he'd love to see on you or you wished for - really just anything he can come up with. Being as attentive as he usually is, his gifts hit the bullseye. They're perfect. Since his schedule is so packed, you have to visit him. And even then, you have to be fine with him being so busy. As much as he wants to put you first, if the king demands something to be taught to Noctis, he can't decline. It's unfortunate, he hates knowing he could be spending time with you but has to be with Noctis instead. Sure, Noct is one of his best friends but no one is up against par with his lover, you. Especially because you rarely see each other.

When you met, he was still quietly skeptic about your relationship - he wanted it to work but feared it wouldn't work out now that you were there. He only knew so much about you, believed it'd be fairly awkward. But no, it was anything but awkward and uncomfortable. From a warming welcome hug to a first kiss at the dinner table to the first time sleeping next to each other - everything went perfect. Ignis was absolutely head over heels and knew he would do anything for you. It gave him enough faith to endure the pain of not seeing you every day of his life, not waking up beside you every day nor kissing you whenever he could.

You are worth it. So, SO worth it.

Even though he's busy, he'll go out of his way, for example, will totally skip sleeping, to make your stay as pleasant as he can. He'll cook breakfast and dinner for you, he'll take you out on evening dates, go to the cinema with you,… the list goes on and on. There's nothing he wouldn't do to see your beautiful face light up. And whenever you leave, his heart bleeds and drops to rock bottom. To say it's easy would be a lie. But he loves you more than he could ever imagine and he certainly doesn't want to lose you because of some stupid distance. Instead, he'll work his butt off, try to find a solution to take this relationship further: move in with each other.

Gladiolus:

Phew, he's another tough one. Literally. Gladio is another fairly busy guy. School, working out, teaching Noctis, taking care of Iris… he has a packed schedule. On top of that, he also doesn’t believe he's into relationships. However, he would commit to one if it’s the right person. But then there's this issue about him being a fond lover of the physical kind of love. So all in all, he doesn't sound like the type of guy to end up in a long distance relationship.

But perhaps it was faith that he ended up meeting you. You swept him off his feet. Something about you was so attractive - he knew he had to be with you. At least for a night. Being the extrovert he's always been, he hit you up. After a bit, it was revealed you weren't from Insomnia, you ended up being from Altissia.

It'll take him a few months of texting to decide if he actually wants you - and what kind of want - or if this is just his mind playing a trick on him. Well, turns out he can't get you out of his head. And that’s why he decided to confess his feelings. To say he's a fan of a long distance relationship would be a lie. He wants to kiss you, hold you, squeeze you - anything. And it almost drives him mad that he can't. So mad that he considers breaking up with you because you're distracting him too much. But the longer he thinks about ending it before it even really started, the worse he feels. The thought of giving up on you hurts him. The daily texts you sent, photos, the phones calls and video chats actually mean a lot to him. He's totally into you - not just your body. And he's well aware of this possibly being what people call "love" but he's afraid that will kill his performance in battle. He's scared of committing at such a young age. Honestly, being loyal is a little hard for him at first - he definitely is but the lack of physical intimacy frustrates him. But he could never go as far as to betray you. And of course he doesn't want to be the creep asking for some kind of video-call-nsfw-action when you haven't even shared a hug yet. He'll introduce that as the relationship progresses.

After what feels like an eternity, you finally meet in person (again). It's you visiting him as he has to take care of Iris. The first hug is followed by your first kiss - right at the train station where he picks you up. He's probably a little greedy, can't take his hands off of you and doesn't want to let go either. He'll actually be a gentleman for once. Admittedly, the first meeting is probably a little awkward. Gladio is probably being a little shy because his feelings overwhelm him. Bonus points if Iris likes you, too - that'll make him consider marrying you on the spot. Once he's regained his composure, he'll try to get in your pants - but in a cute way, not blatant at all and definitely without pressure. He just wants to show you how much you mean to him.. In his favorite way. However, if you aren't up for it and/or it isn't your cup of tea, he'll stop. He'll just shower you with kisses and other types of affection then.

You bet that after seeing your gorgeous face for the first time, he can't get enough of it. From there on out, he sends you little gifts consisting of whatever he could find: food, snacks, books, chocolate, DVDs, clothes for you anything that catches his eyes and looks like something you could enjoy. Aside from that, he wants to hear your voice more often and see you as many times as he can, potentially even use skype or facetime to virtually fall asleep beside you. Meeting you was what filled his love-o-meter entirely. He's absolutely in love, head over heels.

The distance still frustrates him to no end, now more than ever.. And when you leave, he has to distract himself by doing some workouts. He's quick to come to the conclusion that he really loves you. But he strongly dislikes the distance - so just like Ignis, he tries to find a way to get you closer to him as soon as possible.

The chocobros and Christmas decorations (HCs)

Heya guys! Today’s another headcanon-day! This time it’s about what and how the chocobros decorate for Christmas. ^^

Little Spoiler: Prompto cheating part 2 comes tomorrow ^^

Noctis:

Yes! The future king is so up for it

He loves everything

Starts decorating within the first week of December

He's the reason why there are tons of decorations outside of the citadel

Aside from exclusive lightning done by a technician Noctis will order someone to specifically design the Citadel's Christmas appearance

Loves blatant decorations almost screaming out loud that he loves this festive season

His inspiration comes from the US

You don't wanna know how much money he spends on Christmas decorations

While he does like it blatant and very colorful - he still prefers being classy

Red, White, Gold, Green - those are the colors mainly spread all around Insomnia

Starting on the first December, entire Insomnia will light up with beautiful holiday lights and it's all because of Noctis

Regis doesn’t care too much about Christmas, he got other worries

He's also the one picking the Christmas trees - three in total

A huge one will be set up in Insomnia, one for the citadel and one for his apartment

Blasting xmas songs 24/7

Although he likes decorating, he let's a professional do it as he is too messy and doesn't believe it'll look good

Decorates their Christmas tree himself and it's a mess

It's probably good if Noctis doesn't decorate

Prompto:

Awh hell yeah!

He loves, loves, loves any festive season

Starts decorating prior to December so that everything is perfect on the first

Biggest fan of corny stuff

Will have a weird mixture of classic decorations (typical baubles) and colorful cute stuff (for example a cat shaped bauble that is painted and with glitter)

Being the nerd he can be, he hangs up baubles with the logo of his favorite games & characters

Holiday lights are all over his apartment

Those are also colorful and not simply giving warm light

Blowup Santa and a snowman are waiting in his apartment

Snow globes are everywhere

Won't back down from fluffy garlands

Christmas tree is also up on the first December

But the decorating of it is a mess

Starts listening to xmas songs mid-November

Has multiple mistletoes up

Nonetheless, his apartment is a mess

Don't let this guy decorate

He doesn't have a concept but just does whatever he feels like

Ignis:

Fond of decorating, not fond of doing it without a plan

Honestly loves simple decorating

Lots of class, very subtle hints spread all over his place

Not messy and colorful like Prompto

Loves snow globes over anything - they're cute, pretty and usually not too colorful

Just like Noctis, he prefers red, green, gold and white to be used

Starts decorating mid December, he's too busy to start sooner

Once the festive mood got ahold of him, he'll change his entire house to a Christmas-sy mode, too

Changes bedding, changes pillowcases aside with the decorations - everything has to remind him of Christmas

Holiday lights are only around his windows as they distract him too much

Oh, and of course his tiny Christmas tree that remains untouched until the 23rd

Doesn't care about the size of it, just likes to have a small one because that means less decorating to do

Sometimes he puts illustrations of snowflakes on his windows

Favorite decoration element is a cookie jar and candles

Scented candles are waiting around every corner

Out of the chocobros, he's the one that has most talent for decorating properly

His place looks amazing

Christmas decorations lift his mood tremendously but please don’t blast the standard xmas songs

Gladiolus:

Ayee, no big fan

While he does understand why people do it, he also doesn't like how tacky it is

It's already hard to convince him to put up a christmas tree

He usually does it for Iris (or his S/O)

For the sake of not being a big fan of decorations, Gladiolus sets the majority up in their garden

That way he won’t have to see it every day

The christmas tree is in the garden, a holiday light reindeer and Santa are, too

Inside his place are only very few decorations Iris insisted on

Those are usually self-made

There's actually not much to say about him because he simply doesn't like nor care about decorations

If his S/O or Iris do it, he won't complain though

As long as it stays classy - no fluffy garlands, no unicorn ornaments, no cute owl ornaments, nope just plain ones

His favorite decoration is NSFW: a calendar specifically for December full of babes in revealing clothing

He better hides that from his partner and Iris - their eyes shouldn't see that yet

If his S/O ends up forcing him to help.. Aah, it'll be a mess

This guy got no talent for decorating, not even the slightest

He’ll help to make them happy but please don't expect anything good

And hell, keep the xmas songs from him, they annoy him more than Noctis’ nagging

The Chocobros and (xmas) gift preparations

I really wanted to publish something Ignis only related today but all I could come up with was sad and now that the DLC will probably hit our feels, I chose against adding on to that. I’ll save it for another day.

I’m sure you all know that struggle of not knowing what to get for some friend of a family member - and that is exactly what inspired this. xD

Noctis:

He'd be the type of guy to shop gifts last minute. Thanks to his status, stores sometimes let him enter even after closing hours. However, if the stores already closed for the day and no one is inside anymore, no one will open it again just for his highness. But he doesn't like using his status anyway, so it's fine.

Whenever he's out to get gifts, it ends up in a mess. He doesn't know where to go most of the time, nor what types of gifts he should get. Noctis generally only ever knows what to get his S/O - but when it comes to family and friends he's absolutely clueless. So he kinda hopes to find amazing items in the stores. If only he'd show up a little earlier, he'd probably have the time to find amazing things but since he's always so late, most stuff is already gone or the store just closed. The prince is also a big fan of buying himself some "tiny" gifts. To be honest, they're usually quite expensive. When some item catches his eyes, he'll take all the time in the world to inspect it and decide if he actually wants it. While the gift for his S/O is usually absolutely mind-blowing, the gifts for his father are.. Interesting. He usually gifts vouchers as he simply can't find proper items he could like. And his friends always receive funny gifts. Some of Noctis' favorite memes for Prompto, new colorful baking tools with googly eyes for Ignis and something to purely tease Gladio. It's rare that he actually gifts something serious and expensive to his best buddies.

Prompto:

Organized chaos describes his behavior really well. While he has ideas on what to get and does plan his shopping trip in advance, is not a last minute shopper, he always ends up in a rush because he tends to dawdle. So while the first gift goes amazing, the other ones don't. And in between the shops he planned to go to, he'll see at least 5 others he wants to go inside to. Time really does fly when Prompto is out to get gifts. He usually ends up running to the last shop he has to go to and then starts panicking when he can't find the item he's looking for. Also tends to drop his bags every now and then or runs into shelves with them. Sometimes his luck is so bad, one of the bags rips open. He's definitely the type of guy to accidentally destroy items in stores. Especially stores harboring decorations. Vases, mirrors,.. He broke both before. Multiple times. At the end of the day, he's beyond stressed out and usually still missing some items. He'll just order those online now… along with a new videogame - because why not treat yourself a little? Since he doesn't have that much money, he tends to only buy few actual gifts and mainly some DIY-tools. He likes to give everything a personal note, something that just screams "Prompto" at you.

Ignis:

Honestly, he's amazingly organized. His shopping probably goes best. While he doesn't have much time, he knows exactly what stores to go to and where his designated items are at. His time is valuable and can't be wasted. He's also far ahead of time, at least a month or so. Although he usually just wants to go from one store to the other, he tends to start window shopping by accident. He'll get carried away with thoughts on who could show interest in those boots or that dress, etc. It's especially bad with his S/O and Noctis. Since he's known Noctis for so long, he likes to think he knows everything about him and as his advisor, he constantly thinks about him, so it's only natural that Noctis will pop up on his mind when he see's, for example, vegetables. It's the same with his S/O. He can't resist thinking about them when he sees boots they could potentially like and then he ends up considering if he should actually buy it. Because Ignis prepares so early on, no one is stressing about Christmas yet and it's not extra busy on the streets - that's something he really likes. While all other chocobros go alone, Ignis likes to involve his S/O into the shopping. He obviously won't buy their gift but loves to hear their opinion about other items he thought about buying. Their opinion really matters to him. In some ways, it'll be a date. They'll go grab a coffee and some cake, perhaps some groceries as well, for a nice dinner that evening. If they want to, they'll go to the movies too.

Gladiolus:

An absolute mess. He has absolutely no idea what to get for everyone. Not his S/O, not his family, not his friends. So he really just puts the topic off more and more until he has to rush. It won't be as bad as Noctis but he'll probably start shopping the week before Christmas, then ends up realizing he can't find stuff and runs to Ignis for help. Depending on what kind of gifts, Iris tends to help too. So approximately two days before Christmas, Gladio is out and hurrying around the streets with either his sister or Ignis. In the end, he'll get the most ridiculous gifts for everyone because both Iris and Ignis love to make a fool of him. If he's lucky, he'll catch on to their plan and add some vouchers to the gifts but if he doesn't, you bet he'll be grumpy all day. On the bright side, at least everyone else is having a good laugh.
