The Chocobros on the Dance Floor
Who among them dances like Kenny Crow, though?
Noctis - The Awkward Prince
Noctis likes listening to music as it gets his blood pumping.
He would subtly bob his head to the beat but if he’s feeling really into it, expect him to sway a bit to the song, an unconscious biting of his lips ensues, much to the bros’ endless teasing.
When it comes to dancing however, don’t ask the prince to dance if you’re not on his posse.
But if the bros start dancing, initiated by Prompto, followed by a very good dancer named Gladio, expect Noctis to dance a bit.
The prince doesn’t have a particular dance style, expect him to sway his body from side to side and raising his hands in the air if he feels like it.
Dancing with the bros does not require the best dance moves nor coordination. It’s only pure craziness.
When someone he likes is suddenly thrust into the dance scene beside him, at first Noct goes from having fun to being shy.
But when his crush starts laughing as they dance to the beat, being their usual self, Noct would gain confidence and start dancing with them.
Bold is rarely the word for the prince when it comes to things like this, but if he’s feeling extra brave, he’d hold his crush’s waist as he dances with them, a playful smile decorating his lips.
A younger Noct wouldn’t dare do the, um, grind, but mind you, with enough signals from his crush, he’d be down with it. Nothing dirty, just losing himself in the feeling of holding his dear one close and inhaling the sweet scent of them.
By the end of the night, Noct is hooked.
Don’t try to put V in the dance scene, however, if you do not want to make a mess of the Prince.
Prompto - The Energy Bunny
Prompto, despite looking like a shy and clumsy chocobo, is actually a killer on the dance floor.
Not a killer, of course. But he’s gonna slay anyone who challenges him to a dance off.
Sunshine Kid’s energy and dance moves are the best around. He likes dancing to keep his blood pumping, plus it gives him an extra boost of happiness.
Prompto loves watching those choreography videos on Nextube and he’d try to imitate the steps with success.
He’s not all about the dance moves however, because Prompto’s charisma is infectious.
He’d be all smiles as he dances, but he’d get very much into it too that he’d look like a total badass of the dance floor.
But he’s not doing this to look cool, though. Sunshine Kid just loves to dance. His fave goofy moves? Why, the Kenny Crow dance of course! Followed by the cowboy bounce and the running man. He ain’t Sunshine Kid without being a goofball, of course.
If he’s only listening to the music, a.k.a. watching his friends dance as he gobbles down on spicy food and chugging down a cold drink, he’d bob his as he’d tap his fingers on the floor.
Expect his feet to tap to the beat too. It’s like his body can’t contain itself that he has to dance it all out.
He’s the one who initiates the dancing. He won’t be too confident to try and dance on the dance floor at first. He’d dance by the corner or by the table all by his lonesome…for a few seconds. He’d then drag Noct or whoever it is that is fortunate or unfortunate enough to be in near proximity.
If he spotted his crush in the crowd, Sunshine Kid is nowhere to be seen.
The bros would eventually find him stress eating by their table or pretending to be busy taking photos to avoid talking to that person.
And let’s not forget the selfies. By the end of the night, expect lots of selfies with the bros and all the people he’s made friends with. And lots of stolen shots. That’s Prompto for ya.
Gladiolus - A Vision on the Dance Floor
Gladio likes any kind of music. So if someone plays some really good beats, expect him to really try and rock to it.
He’s confident in his dancing. He doesn’t have any dance moves in his pockets like Prompto, but boy, can this man dance.
The way Gladiolus carries himself as he busts a groove makes it look as if he’s doing some sort of photo shoot.
He is not shy to dance either in a reserved fashion like swaying his body from side to side, or from going full on with his dancing.
This guy’s energy is hard to match, only at par with Sunshine Kid himself.
Gladio is open to dancing with a stranger, given that they’re nice and all. If they’re jerks, expect him to walk away with an irritated scowl.
He’s the kind of guy who would boldly ask someone to dance with him or with his friends if they’re alone or too shy.
He won’t be overpowering; in fact, he’d be very friendly with them. He’d strike up a really good conversation as they dance with ease.
The bros are not surprised if the big guy ends up making friends, or having a number written on his arm or his hand.
If Gladio sees his crush in the dance floor, he’ll call out to them.
He’s very happy to find them as he’s having fun and is willing to do his best to make them feel the same way.
He doesn’t dance to impress, but if that is what will take for his crush to really notice how, ripped, uh, good-looking he is, then by all means, he would.
Gladio is the kind who would talk about different things to anyone while dancing. From nonsensical things and jokes to deep philosophical things like do you think the stars stare back at us and all that.
Ignis prefers to listen to music, thank you very much.
He’d be that friend who seem to have their butts glued to the seat and would make up every excuse not to dance.
‘I’m too drunk’ (he’s drinking Ebony; in fact, none of the bros drink liquor anyway in precaution to avoiding any mischief), or ‘I sprained my foot, ah, ankle’, ‘My glasses are too foggy’, ‘Cor is in the crowd’ (gasp) and such.
The bros would leave him to his lonesome.
Ignis is very happy to be left alone. He fishes out his phone and begins playing King’s Knight. The bros are missing out on the level up bonus on a Friday night. Iggy smirks.
He’d find his foot tapping to the beat and he’s cool with that. Ignis Scientia likes listening to whatever makes him feel better, no matter the genre.
The only time you can find Ignis on the dance floor is if he is avoiding someone.
There was one time when a lady bumped into his seat and asked if he wanted to dance. She was very beautiful, yes, but he found that from a corner of the bar that a man as big and fearsome as Gladio was glaring at him as if he was throwing daggers at Iggy in the dark. Ignis excused himself with regret but peace goes first before romance. A sad affair, really.
Gladio is the first to sense if something was amiss and would call out to Iggy to join the bros in the dance floor.
Prompto’s incessant dance moves proven to make Ignis Scientia laugh and Noct’s annoying teases would push the Master Tactician to bust a few moves of his own.
Ignis can dance. His spatula can attest to that.
If anyone can catch Iggy dancing, consider yourself blessed.
Ignis looks so damn sexy as he dances. He’d push his glasses up and dances effortlessly it’s almost criminal. AND THAT SMIRK.
Once Ignis’ apple of his eye is suddenly in the room, Ignis would halt any tomfoolery and act the mature one in the group (he already is, but, multiply that twice).
He’ll see if this person would look at him as his friends would dance about. If they did, he would look away as if he himself wasn’t staring at them in the first place.
It works, of course. Ignis finds himself talking to this person but keeping everything about him mysterious.
He’s not touchy, though, so don’t expect him to grab you out of nowhere and start swaying those hips. He’s a gentleman.
At the end of the night, Ignis Scientia has gotten almost everyone smitten with him.
Noct gives him the stink eye from the back of the car. Remind him not to bring Specs to the dance club again.
The lady above is Veritas Lux Seculum in her typical battle gear. I finally made her own GIF! I made a character model for her in FFXV Comrades and I’m so happy to have made her first GIF! Of course it had to be the goofy one, ha!
She’s almost always sitting by the table with Iggy, discussing matters and even jokes. Iggy approves.
But then Prompto would drag her away to the dance floor and would make her laugh with his cowboy and running man dance moves.
Gladio joins in the moment he sees this and would try and joke about, raising V’s hands in the air to ease her nervousness.
Veritas is too cautious and reserved most of the time, so a little dance wouldn’t hurt.
Once she sees that everyone is having fun, she’d let loose a little bit.
Immortals aren’t boring on the dance floor. They’re adorable!
This barely 5′ short tall lady starts by swaying her body to the beat and similar to Noct, she would raise her hands in the air, just losing herself to the groove.
But if the mood finally strikes, she would drop all facades and dance to her heart’s content.
She’s not afraid to go disco or latin or hiphop or anything. Sunshine Kid challenges her to imitate his moves and she complies but throws in a bit of her take to it.
V is the kind of person who would laugh as she dances and likes to engage in conversation like Gladio.
Her usual dance partner is Prompto and she’s always down to being a goofball with him.
Their fun energy is infectious that even Noct starts dancing with them.
If V looks at the Prince however, he’d look away.
V loves dancing with her friends, but if Ravus suddenly calls her, expect her to excuse herself and head outside the club to talk.
The only way to get her back is to say that Gladio has had too much to drink (of course not). They only want their best mate to stay for the fun.
