[excitedly, prompto does a whoop in the air and presses a button on the key to open the trunk. fancy cars are so fantastic, you barely need to do anything?!]

[and then he's getting inside on the driver's side, putting his coffee down in the cupholder. key in the ignition, he turns it on, and presses the button to push back the roof.]

[as soon as noctis is in] --have I told you that you've got the sweetest ride ever?

[ Noctis throws the bags in the trunk and comes around to the passenger seat, plopping down with a sigh. ]

A few times.

[ It is a pretty sweet ride. Noctis absolutely loves his car, especially considering it was a going-away gift from his old man. He's taken pretty good care of it, which is stark contrast to his apartment.

He takes a sip of his coffee, forgetting that it's barely sweetened, and he recoils with the wrinkle of his nose. ]

Augh--

Dude, there's hardly any sugar in this.

[prompto does what he needs to get the car out of the parking space and consequently the parking lot; they're on the road easy enough, and prompto's fidgety on the seat, even as he looks both ways before moving forward.]

Yeah, you don't need any more sugar.

Thought I'd do you a favor. [he grins, but then starts laughing] You took mine, actually. I didn't feel like correcting you.

[ Noctis stares down at his cup like it insulted his father. This is absolutely disgusting, so no wonder it belonged to Prompto originally.

He says nothing about the remark of his sugar intake, or the fact that he took Prompto's, and instead places it in the cup holder and takes the drink that rightfully belongs to him.

Keep driving, party pooper! ]

I know that look.

But, don't think I'm full of shit. I wish I could have coffee with tons of cream and whipped cream. But that'd just result in me staying in the bathroom feeling miserable for the rest of the day, so...

[he shrugs, taking a left. they'll be at noct's place soon enough]

You wanna place our food order?

I know that look.

[ Is he mocking you? Yes. Yes he is. Noctis sighs as he puts his drink down, digging into his pocket for his phone. He pulls up a delivery app, scrolling through options. ]

Let's order cheese pizza. Extra cheese. Keep you in the bathroom all night, so I can have all the sugar I want.

And here I thought you hated me!

[prompto's not complaining, nor falling for it, because he knows noctis wouldn't do that to him. he just... hums on, the twinkle twinkle little star tune, stopping at a red light and fixing his hair on the side mirror]

I do.

[ No he doesn't. Noctis continues to scroll through, going through their options. He hears Prompto humming the little tune they performed together, and the slightest ghost of a smile takes his features while he scrolls away. ]

How about Pho?

Beef noodle for me!

[he turns his attention to noctis, patpatpatting his leg]

With extra spice! You know I can't stand the watered down stuff.

[ Noctis reaches over and starts doing the same thing. PATPATPAT to Prompto's leg. ]

Sure your sensitive tummy can handle spices?

[swats ye hand away]

Definitely! It makes me feel like I'm alive anyway. Just sweatin' out all them toxins.

[ Swat away. Noctis will just poke at your freckled cheek now just for the sake of pissing you off. With a straight face, even. And a monotone reply! ]

Gross.

[ POKE POKE.]

--dude, I'm driving!

[SWATS AWAY, again! he did manage to make prompto a little bit angry. the light turns green, and he goes]

Are you making the order? What are you gonna get?

[ Noctis can tell Prompto is starting to get irritated, so he pulls his hand back with a shrug. He swipes away at his phone. ]

Same thing you're getting.

[ He taps a few times, then puts his phone down. ]

There.

Got some dumplings, too.

Dumplings will be the actual death of me.

[he's a little distracted by a dog being walked as he drives straight, and he belatedly looks back at the road. he swerves a bit]

--woah, pothole.

[back on track now]

[there's probably a reason why prompto shouldn't drive]

[they arrive at the underground parking lot of the apartment building without much incident, however, and prompto's carefully parking the car in noct's assigned spot]

...and home.

[unbuckling and getting out, forgetting his coffee inside in favor of getting the bags]

[ Noctis jolts a bit when Prompto drives over the pothole, nose wrinkling. This is his baby, Prom! ]

Watch it.

[ Once they park, he sees Prompto leave without his coffee, which he takes the liberty of grabbing. He unbuckles and leaves the car. ]

Don't forget your garbage coffee.

[bags grabbed, he makes a dramatic ah! yelp, and hands over the keys as he grabs his coffee.]

Switch!

[he walks alongside noctis towards the elevator]

Y'wanna watch a movie? I kinda just wanna flop down for a while.

Edited 2017-07-28 21:15 (UTC)

[ He trades the coffee for the keys. ]

Here, let me get a couple of those bags.

[ Noctis gestures to the many bags that Prompto's carrying. Maybe they went a bit overboard with the shopping... ]

Movie's fine. I actually queued a few up that I thought you might be into.

[he's happy to share, hopping into the elevator when it reaches them. penthouse floor, please! is the number he types into the small computer. fancy.]

Really? Like which ones?

[he takes a sip of his coffee and looks up]

A person actually got killed in an elevator once when it malfunctioned and went to the top floor at increasing speed. Crushed. Guy just went out to do his groceries. Pretty tragic.

[prompto glances casually at noctis, like he didn't just say something rather terrifying]

[they're on floor seven, eight...]

...you wanna take the stairs?

[ They approach the elevator, Glenn already on it in terms of calling it down for them. But Noctis is forced to stop, brow knit as he looks to his friend with a look as if he'd grown a second head. ]

What dictates these thoughts popping up in your head?

[ Seriously! Where did that come from?

Still, he actually... Thinks about it. But.

Eight flights of stairs.

Noctis sighs. ]

Elevator.

[prompto shrugs, then puts an arm on noctis as they go inside the elevator]

If we die, I'm glad that we're dying together.

[then, he grins]

[ Prompto is weirdly particular about certain things, but Noctis doesn't mind it. Prompto's quirks are what make him him, and even if he snorts about things and picks on him? He wouldn't have it any other way. Noctis shakes his head with a smile as they approach the elevator.

Prompto puts his arm around him, and he's perfectly fine with it. He's still feeling a bit weird after the mall, but... He's not about to pry away.

In fact, Noctis uses his free arm to wrap it around Prompto in kind. ]

You're so corny.

[a short shrug follows that comment]

There's worse things I could be called.

[and, penthouse floor. up they go]

I really wanna charge my phone... Oh, and eat my pho. How long is it gonna take?!
