Welcome to the "I Wanna to be Benchpressed by Gladio" show
Or a slightly self-indulgent FFXV meme

Got a new muse you're itching to play and find some new canonmates? Or net a few new castmates for your game? Maybe try out a potential Comrades-related OC or develop an AU? This would be a great place to try!
The only thing I ask is that you keep smut to your own museboxes/memes please. But by all means, make things as steamy as a nice cup of Ebony if you want.

cool. let me know if you can't find it.

got training with terra after school. otherwise i'd crash your friend date.

:eyes:

[cristalino]

you know he seriously thinks you don't like him
also if you snitch on me to gladio bc i'm not training i will fight you

[...]

on a videogame

[realises he's too lazy to fight his lil bro irl]

[but also, how do you communicate to your little brother that you wanna hang out? being cool and aloof is seriously hard... especially if you're socially constipated]

[frustrated sounds at his phone]

[darkbreak]

prompto? why would I not like your one and only friend in the whole wide world. he's your friend. not mine.

[Okay, that might have been mean and he might be a little jealous of Prompto for spending time with him. But hey! It's a friend for his bro, and he's treated his big brother well so far.]

...you've been slacking off so much you can't even challenge me irl.

come on, man.

[cristalino]

that sounds a bit rehearsed

listen i'm older and wiser and an irl fight's not worth the trouble
rather be sleeping now that's some good stuff

[darkbreak]

i have my own friends, noct. i don't need yours. and prompto's fine. he's not a bad guy.

older, yes. wiser, no. you're just scared i'm going to beat you.

[He almost puts in a comment about his sleeping habits but decides against it. Somehow it doesn't feel like it would be in good taste.]

[cristalino]

[headache incoming... being the older brother to a toddler feels infinitely easier, at this rate.]

right
well i got nothing to prove either way
don't care much for losing to you

[darkbreak]

[Look, he cares for you, bro. It's just hard to not be a stupid teenager sometimes.]

party pooper.
guess we'll solve it with a game then.

[And about a minute later.]

you really should come to train with us later though. if you feel like it.

[Someone else doesn't know how to ask his older brother to hang out with him.]

[cristalino]

[you don't know his life......]

maybe on the weekend
school's kicking my ass
drop out while you can

[he's joking, really]

you staying with dad after training?

[darkbreak]

you're kidding right?

you mean today or later on? i'll probably be at the citadel for dinner with him, yeah.

[cristalino]

i thought we had already been through the whole "my life's a joke" talk before of course i'm kidding

sounds like fun
tell him i say hey

[darkbreak]

yeah, we've talked about it. but your life isn't a jo--

[Nooooope. Deleting that. It feels too awkward for him, even if it is a little true. Noct isn't a joke, even if it is fun to make fun of him.]

alright alright. just checking. hard to tell over text.

will do. but you should join us one night. he'd probably like that.

[cristalino]

[thinking about his father... upsets him. for a big part of his life, regis was not there. riku might not remember it, but he was the one raising his youngest brother, especially after their mother had passed away. he tried--and failed--to be the father that he never had, and he wasn't even doing a good job as a brother, much less the crown prince, heir to the throne.]

[he doesn't know what kind of relationship riku and their father have, mostly because he hasn't wanted to be involved in it. he has his own issues, and being allowed to have this much freedom and independence has basically cemented and solidified the rift between them.]

[noctis is too scared to cross it. noctis is too scared to ese his father, older and weaker, of affirming a purpose to his son that said son wants to not think about--refuses to think about.]

we're both pretty busy
maybe some other time
i'll see him for father's day anyway

[darkbreak]

[Riku's not dumb. He knows there's a rift between his brother and father. It's been there for years, brewing and forcing them farther apart. His own relationship with their dad, the king, might be a bit more healthy than Noct's, but there's only so much time you can spend with a man who meets with other nobles and dignitaries.

He's always just understood that it was just the way things were, and he was allowed to have his own freedom and choices to make. But that doesn't stop the younger brother from wanting to feel like his family is whole.

He wishes there was no rift and no awkward distance between them, but he has never felt so powerless and lost before.]

You better. I'm holding you to it or I'm warping over to your place and dragging your sorry butt with me.

And I'm not letting Iggy stop me either.
