( HAPPY BIRTHDAY PROMPTO!! | @royalarms )

❛ hey . ❜ the greeting seems cool & unbothered to most , but there's a certain uncertainty that might be sensed by any who know him more personally . he approaches his friend with hands stiff in his pockets & blue irises that wander anywhere to avoid the contact with the cherished man's before him . but , he knows he'll only make their situation uncomfortable if he continues to stand there , so he cuts to the chase with a much less awkward approach , ❛ it's your big day , yeah ? don't think i forgot . ❜ & he summons a couple items , all placed in a carefully organized in a gradient orange - yellow paper bag ( re - imagined by ignis , because noct's first attempt at its presentation went miserably ) . within it sits some contrast & color - correcting lens filters , as well as an insomnian photography magazine featuring some of prompto's signature work on the front page . he'd managed to pull some strings . there is an assortment of scattered candy at the bottom & a gift card to their favorite high school burger joint . there's also a signed card with the first polaroid photo prompto made noctis take in their younger years . he cherishes the photo greatly , & it has remained pristine through its age . he has another couple of pictures in his wallet , so he'd thought prompto might appreciate the sentiment . it's not often noctis allows himself to sit in the nostalgia of their history . ❛ come on . we've got stuff to do today . ❜ he urges him through the process of opening his gift , that he might not think too hard on it .

❝ hey,❞ the greeting was returned with a smile, prompto rising to his feet at the prince's arrival. the lack of a birthday acknowledgement right away didn't bother him. all he wanted was to spend time with his friend anyways, & he didn't care whether that came with any of the usual birthday expectations or not, as long as they got to have some fun.

he should have known better, though. as nonchalant as noctis seemed, there was always more going on than he sought to reveal. he knew the signs that showed that noctis was feeling uncomfortable, but before he could ask about the stiff stance or avoiding eyes, his best friend supplied undeniable proof that the day hadn't been forgotten. the sudden appearance of the paper bag ( in a series of prompto's favorite colors–––– ones that reminded him of his favorite pictures of the sunset ) almost made him jump.

  ❝ that's a serious misuse of the armiger. does iggy know you kept this there? ❞ he couldn't help but joke in hopes that noctis would take his wide, excited grin as a reaction to his tease instead of anticipation of what awaited him inside the bag. his earlier thought was true, he really wouldn't have minded if noctis had gotten him nothing. but, the fact that there was something filled him with a rush of warmth. a reminder that he was cared for by those he cared for.

  ❝ but, really, dude, thank you! you didn't have to get me anything! ❞ he felt a bit childish, sitting on the floor to dig through the tissue paper ( clearly packed in by ignis, he'd have to remember to thank him too, later ), but it was the best way to conceal his bouncing legs & jittery hands & avoid dropping anything that noctis had been kind enough to get him.

the handful of lens filters would have been more than enough. as he looked at each, he couldn't stop himself from rambling about what he could use them for–––– they'd be added to his camera bag as soon as he was able to do so, that he promised.

at first, he'd just thought that noctis had scored him an advanced copy of one of the photography magazines he grabbed from time to time. but, then he realized the picture on the cover looked familiar. & then he realized that it was because it was his.

❝ oh––––em–––– gee! how did you score this, noct!? this is awesome! i gotta get this framed–––– i gotta take a photo with my phone to show everyone & then get it framed! this is so cool! ❞ if he could have hugged the magazine without wrinkling it, he would have! but, there was still more to see.

he tossed one of the pieces of candies to noctis & extracted promises that they'd visit the burger joint during the week so he could splurge & use the gift card before prompto realized that he'd made a huge error.

  ❝ oh, wait, i was supposed to open the card first, right? sorry, dude! i'll open this now! ❞

true to his word, he opened the card, immediately falling still as he caught sight of what was inside.

 ❝ is this––––? ❞ he didn't have to finish the question, he knew exactly what picture he was looking at. the first polaroid that they'd ever taken together. his eyes grazed over their smiles, loose ties & unopened books. just off to the edge of the picture, prompto's thumb was just slightly in frame. ❝ dude, i didn't know you still had this! ❞

this he had to frame. he wanted to preserve it. he wanted to pull it out when they were old & noctis had been king for decades & go–––– look how young & stupid we were! & he was going to make sure he was able to.

  ❝ thanks, noct. seriously, all this it's...it's awesome. ❞

keeping the emotion out of his voice was impossible & it was his turn to avoid noctis' eyes as he packed his items back into the bag ( taking great care with the card with the photo in it ).

  ❝ stuff, huh? there's more? ❞ he hopped to his feet, brushing himself off.

  ❝ alright, off we go! lead the way! ❞

[crackshots-a]

( this is from last year but it's CUTE so we're ANSWERING IT HAPPY BIRTHDAY PROMPTO!!! | @lunabrae )

lunafreya approaches their pre-ordained meeting time on the dot, if not early. pyrna is excitable and alert in her left arm, perched upon her chest, while umbra pads behind at a steady pace. in her other hand, she tows a medium-sized cart to lag closely behind. inside, a large bouquet of daffodils, marigolds, and sunflowers rest inside an ornate vase, loosely tied in ribbon. beside it, a tin of fine altissian chocolate, adorned with a handwritten letter adressed to him. lastly, a humble gift, wrapped neatly in paper, tucked away underneath.  and when her eye catches him.... her entire face lights up. pryna in tow, lunafreya sets down the handle of the wagon to meet prompto half-way, and wraps him in a close, one-armed embrace. " it's good to see you, prompto. happy birthday. "  her words spill sincere, and she presses a greeting kiss to his cheek. pryna follows suit, with a plethora of licks to the other side of his face, earning a giggle out of luna. " i think someone else missed you, too. "  she hands pryna off to prompto to hold her before stepping away, making sure to politely fold her hands across her front, though they soon grow antsy and draw back to him. fiddling with his coat, fluffing pryna's fur. a smile is plastered on her face, and quickly she forgets the purpose of her visit.  "i believe... i am your escort for this evening. although.... " sheepishly, lunafreya grabs the handle of her wagon containing his gifts. " you will have to take this in, i apologize for it being cumbersome. " petite hands help wheel the apparatus into his home (with nudging from umbra). " i do hope you like them.... yellow always reminds me of you, prompto. like... the sun, or.. a chocobo! "  her now free arm extends to catch prompto's elbow, the cool night air of insomnia as inviting as it was crisp.  " noctis has requested that i not answer any questions related to location or content of the location, however.... since it's your birthday dinner .... i am inclined to tell you if you are warmer or colder. shall we? "

in contrast, prompto was late–––– only by a few minutes, but still embarrassing to him considering the meeting location was just outside of his front door. it had been his own fault. he'd pulled out every nice shirt he owned ( a total of three ) & spent far too long putting them on, looking in the mirror, & swapping them out to compare. normally, he didn't care much about what he wore. noctis & gladio usually didn't care, & ignis cared, but not in the sense that he ever looked down upon his casual clothing, more like he cared if he had holes in his clothes or if something had a stain. but they weren't the only ones joining him for dinner, luna would be there too, & though her impression of him was a good one, he wanted to do all that he could to keep it that way. not to mention, with her involved, his birthday dinner was bound to be a bit more extravagant than their usual pizza joint.

by the time he'd realized he was past the meeting time, he attempted to rush outside to make it as soon as possible. luckily, he noticed before making it out the door that he had yet to grab his jacket. & his pants. delaying him for a few minutes more.

he'd expected to step outside & be led away to dinner immediately, so he couldn't help the way he froze as he laid eyes on the wagon. his jaw dropped, feet moving forward & back before he was able to urge himself towards lunafreya once more. her hug was accepted & returned. his face flushed at the kiss to his cheek, but it was hidden as he grinned & laughed as pryna licked his cheek. ❝ thank you! it's good to see you too, luna! ❞ he welcomed pryna into his arms, eagerly welcoming another round of her own happy birthday kisses with more bright laughter. ❝ i missed you too, pryna! ❞

prompto tried to keep his attention on the dog in his arms, but luna's hands, fiddling with & fixing his jacket, plus her closeness as she brushed her hands over pryna's fur, brought the heat back to his cheeks. he had to hope that she would think he was simply embarrassed over all the fuss made for his birthday, but he wasn't so sure that she was fooled.

finally, his question about the wagon was answered, & he struggled with incoherent babbling for a few seconds before he finally found his words. ❝ don't apologize! this is amazing! you didn't have to do all this! ❞ he certainly wasn't going to turn it away now that it was here, & he used his unoccupied hand to maneuver the wagon through the doorway & into the house.

the sun. it was such a sweet & honest comparison that he couldn't help the way his smile grew, though he tried to hide it. he turned away so he could place the vase–––– far too extravagant for his meager home–––– on the table, giving an over––––exaggerated groan. ❝ chocobos, really? not you, too! ❞ opening her gift & reading her card would have to wait until after dinner ( probably for the best, as he was sure reading another letter from her, this one more personal, would make him emotional ), but he did swipe a single chocolate to eat on the way.

finally, they exited for good. luna's arm wrapped around his elbow, & they began their trek through the crown city's street. he didn't have the faintest idea where they were headed, but he could make this guessing game fun. ❝ warmer or colder, huh? lemme think...is it that pizza place noct & i used to go when we were in high school? or kenny crow's? oh, i got it–––– it's that kids' restaurant with the singing animatronics! ❞

his guesses were only going to get more ridiculous, but it would be worth it if he could make her laugh.

( this is from last year but it's CUTE so we're ANSWERING IT HAPPY BIRTHDAY PROMPTO!!! | @luciscael )

though their friendship didn't begin til later in high school it felt as if noctis had known prompto for years longer. there would be more years to come he hoped. today was the day to commemorate that long friendship: prompto's birthday ! hardly was noctis one to go out of his way for most occasions regarding himself. it was different for others. this was his best friend after all. thinking of what to do for prompto took long as it felt every year he would wonder how to outdo himself from the years before, but he was determined. this morning ( could you believe it, the morning ? ) a vehicle arrived in front of prompto's humble abode. a chauffer up front no doubt. but this wasn't no typical vehicle... it was a chocobo carriage ! with 6 beautiful white chocobo pulling the black carriage. out came noctis from the inside of it and playfully bowing inviting prompto inside the carriage. " hey birthday boy, need a ride?" a playful smile teetered on his features. " hop in. we got some reservations to eat at. the guys should meet us there too, oh, and happy birthday !" noct would allow prompto to get in first. inside the carriage would be a big wrapped gift where he encouraged prompto to open it now. It was quite a hefty gift as well... the suspense was killing noctis actually and it showed int he way he leaned forward in his seat. inside would be a expensive professional photographer photo printer. once prompto opened it, noctis found himself smiling with his teeth. "now no running to get your photos printed. you can get all your memories done at your place."

prompto had thought for sure that he was still dreaming when he got noctis' 'on my way' text. it was no secret that noctis wasn't a morning person, but there was no denying that the text had come from his phone. though prompto considered that ignis may have sent it, he couldn't prove it, & so the only thing he could do was get up & get ready. he had already suspected that it would be some sort of surprise, but he didn't think there was any way noctis could do better than he had last year.

he had been so wrong.

he stood in his doorway slackjawed, waiting for the inevitable moment when he woke up, but it never came. there, in front of him, was a chocobo carriage. a real life chocobo carriage! he felt like a little kid on christmas morning & would have bolted for the carriage door had noctis not opened it first.

❝ as if i would ever say no to riding in a chocobo carriage! dude, this is so awesome! ❞

&, with that, he was running. stopping for just a moment to take a few pictures of the carriage ( & several more of the chocobo that pulled it ) before he finally allowed himself to enter & sit down.

❝ this is the coolest thing i've ever seen. thank you, noct! the guys are gonna be so jealous when we pull up in this!❞ & then, he caught sight of the gift, & that stopped him in his tracks.

❝ you got me a present, too? this is way too much, you're gonna spoil me! people are gonna think i'm the prince! ❞ he had stalled enough. it was clear noctis was excited for him to open his present. he'd clearly put a lot of thought into it, & prompto was curious. hardly had he begun tearing the wrapping paper before he realized what he'd received.

❝ no way. ❞

he'd talked about looking into a professional printer for years, but it had never been in his budget. he'd thought everyone had just written it off as more of his photography rambling, but the fact that this was proof that noctis had clearly been listening was more touching than the actual, physical gift in his lap.

❝ you are gonna be so sick of me printing pictures. they're gonna be everywhere. i can't wait to get home & print out all the ones i take today! ooh, maybe i'll start a scrapbook! ❞

ideas were already swirling in his brain, but they all came to a halt when he saw noctis' smile. he tried to be still, to convey the sincerity in his tone as he spoke again.

❝ thank you, dude. seriously. best birthday ever. like, ever ever. ❞

( HAPPY BRITHDAY PROMPTO! | @lunabrae )

when lunafreya pulls up in noctis's car, she is a frazzled mess of a woman. hair strewn about by the wind, two dogs piled and wriggling in the back seat, and assorted flowers, gifts, and bags all giving the impression of a very cramped five-seater. she stops abruptly at his person, struggling with the parking brake before the vehicle stops with a jolt. umbra and pryna seem unphased by such a minor detail, practically stumbling over themselves to meet prompto by the street side. lunafreya dons a headscarf and sunglasses, both a feeble attempt at concealing her identity. ( in such a nice car? and her exceedingly ... royal aura. ) still, she turns her cheek in greeting, reaching over to push the passenger door ajar. " what. a. coincidence. prompto argentum ! " feigning ignorance, she pulls on her most playful grin, bordering on wolfish. " i believe, i've just cleared your schedule. " despite all of the clutter, lunafreya seemed to have lovingly carved out a place for him to sit. the passenger seat lay mysteriously pristine, save for his favorite drink in the cupholder, and letter addressed to him on the dashboard. though, she doesn't allow him any time to savor such things, already beginning to drive off, car lurching forward as she pulls back onto the road, not bothering to look behind her. (not like she could, with everything in the car.) their 'outing' is supposed to be a surprise. all his friends had rented out galdin quay , still setting up the event as they spoke. her job was to distract him enough for him not to notice. lunafreya believed such a feat could be achieved without lying to him, given her dogs were rowdy enough, and driving just above reckless. " happy birthday ! " she narrowly avoids a pothole.

it was a car–––– noctis' car, to be exact–––– nearly peeling around the corner that caught his attention. he recognized it immediately, & confusion closely followed. noctis wasn't the best driver ( that title proudly went to ignis ), but prompto had never seen him drive like that. the mystery became clear as the car drew closer & he caught sight of the driver. lunafreya, in a disguise that concealed absolutely nothing at all, stopped the car in a way that made his stomach lurch at the sight, & even through the distraction of the dogs' greetings, he knew that the unsubtle opening of the passenger car door was a silent invitation for him.

as he gave umbra & pryna once last scratch behind the ears, he finally caught sight of luna's expression, & it left him feeling like prey–––– but, not in the bad way. not in the way that would have stopped him from getting into the seat beside her.

  ❝ oh, yeah, totally a coincidence that you'd show up here in my neighborhood on my birthday, knowing i don't have any plans with––––.  ❞

though he'd noticed the gifts upon luna's arrival, the distraction of the car & the dogs & the leering had stopped him from recognizing the extent of the presents piled in the back seats. his head shook, shaking off the shock as he finally allowed himself to settle in the passenger seat. his friends were never one to do things by halves, but he still felt the need to ask.

❝ no way those are all for me, right? we've gotta be dropping those off at someone else's party or somethi–––– oooh, is that a green smoothie? where'd you find someone who could make that all the way up here? ❞

normally, he'd have to travel to galdin to indulge, but there was one in the cupholder closest to him, & he didn't hesitate to reach for it. once he'd taken a sip & begun to settle, he noticed the letter addressed to him on the dashboard. &, though he was able to take it, opening it quickly become secondary to buckling his seatbelt as luna pulled back onto the road with a high speed & a sudden twist of the steering wheel. his  ❝ uh, thank you!  ❞ probably sounded a little more panicked than he intended, but the sentiment was genuine. he would never not be touched by his friends' insistence to celebrate him on the one day he felt he was allowed to let them.

but, he'd have to talk to noctis about travel arrangements for next year's mystery celebration.

      ❝ hey–––– d'you want me to drive?  ❞ if he made it to his next birthday, that was.

( happy birthday prompto??? | @curenone )

" a little bird told me it was your birthday today. cake ? " he holds a cake that in no means looks homemade. almost like a grocery cake. one that's been sitting in the insomnia-mart fridge for just a few days too long.

that feeling of dread that always seemed to appear alongside ardyn arrived even with the presentation of the cake. prompto examined the birthday treat, & even his untrained eye could see that it was probably a bit past it's best by date.

      ❝ oh, uh–––– that's...nice–––– thank you. ❞

he tried to sound sincere, even as he wracked his brain to try & come up with a way to not have to eat the cake before him. he could tell just by the look that it would taste more of the chill of the refrigerator he had pulled it from than buttercream icing. &, even if it wouldn't, just the thought of eating something from him made him anxious & jittery–––– even more so than usual.

then, an idea struck, & he groaned overdramatically, hoping that the grimace on his face could be taken as an apologetic smile.

❝ i've, uh, already had lots of sweets today though! way too much cake–––– i'm all sugared out! ❞

none of that was true. he'd yet to have even a slice of cake ( though he suspected it wouldn't be long until his friends presented him with one, hopefully in a better state than the one ardyn had ), but downright refusing the treat seemed rude. & risky.

❝ but i'll tell you what–––– i'll take the cake & uh, stick it in the fridge! that way i can have a few slices tomorrow! ❞

& if he conveniently forgot, that wasn't a crime. just a mistake.

( happy birthday, prompto! | @hercbled​ )

As always the Merc is bad at coming up with birthday gifts, but at least he tries. Upon seeing the blonde, he throws a materia his way. " Here, catch ! Happy birthday!"

     he looked up just in time to see the materia heading his way, & a hand reached up to grab it–––– only to have it bounce off his fingers & go flying back into the air.  ❝ oh sh–––– i got it, i got it! ❞ he was much more prepared the second time around, & the sphere handed right in the palm of his hand. his fingers curled around it, & he gave a little HOP, celebrating his catch. ❝yeah! did you see that? ❞

     with his prize in hand, he was finally able to take a good look, & his jaw dropped when he realized what he’d been given ( & that he’d almost dropped it on the ground ). ❝ where’d you even get this? ❞ his free hand waved, as if brushing away his question. ❝ nevermind, you don’t have to tell me, this is sweet! i can’t wait to try it out! ❞ not that he knew all that much about materia, but maybe it wouldn’t be too hard to figure out on his own. either way, he was willing to put in the WORK to learn how to use it.

     ❝ thanks, man! ❞ his new gloves had a previously unused materia slot, a PERFECT place for his new gift.  ❝ seriously, zack, this is awesome! ❞
