One of my favourite things about ffxv fic is the unspoken agreement between authors that the chocobros 100% use the Armiger to store trash
Dirty plates? Armiger
Gladio's bargainbin romance novels? Armiger
Some rocks Prompto found? Armiger
This fandom is a gift

Noct and Prom both give off the energy that they bite during fights.
Noct only bites as a last resort, though. Like sometimes during training, when Gladio has him pinned, Noct just cronches down in a final attempt at winning. It pisses Gladio off so bad every time bc he never expects it. Definitely latches on like a leech and leaves a bruise in the perfect shape of his teeth. (Imagine a Tonberry taking him to court and suing, using the teeth imprint bruise as evidence. The Tonberry would win.) Probably bit Ardyn several times during the final fight just to prove a point tbh.
Prompto, though? Leaves no stone unbitten. He opens everything with his teeth, anyway. Why would fighting be different? Uses his chompers way more than he should and has chipped, and even broken a few before. (his dentist is a happy camper. Literally says, "See you next week!" before Prom leaves the office.) Dramatic, feral energy in a fight when it becomes close quarters bc he's not used to it. Runs at you, mouth open and teeth already clicking together like tap shoes on hardwood flooring. This boy isn't here to play. He will take a chunk out of a Cactuar. He does not care.

I've played so much ffxv but i never realised how much Prompto and Ignis randomly hang out together until now and my heart is soft ;_; *lies down on the floor*
So far we've got:
Ignis sometimes asking Prompto specifically to help him shopping when they arrive at a rest area/gas station
When waking up at the chocobo ranch, sometimes they'll be standing by the chocobo pens together while Gladio's off somewhere else
Just now I woke up at Taelpar Rest Area and they're standing by the road together
Sometimes when they rest at a caravan, they're inside by the door just having a conversation and they both look so relaxed
Random (unvoiced) car interactions
I'm only in like chapter 4 of this playthrough so I'm sure there's more, but feel free to add to it I love their friendship so much and I want to hear Everything

can't stop won't stop
look at how flustered Ignis is, thinking about Gladio, lol
he's so cute ._. <3
this is another endearing quality of OG Japanese Ignis that his dub personality change destroyed; people who played in English often characterize Ignis as being super suave and confident, and he is not like that at all
he's actually very mild mannered and humble, and becomes embarrassed easily
his Japanese personality is so much better
