Nyx was pretty excited about meeting up with Prompto for their so called date. He wasn't sure where this would lead, but the kid was pretty cute and seemed fun to spend time with, even if he threw cheese at his head.
He'd even brought some things from his fridge as promised, but he cheated a little and stopped by a grocery store to pick up some extra options. He didn't exactly want their sandwiches to suck, Prompto would probably take it personally somehow, and he wanted him to have a good time and not feel insecure about their dinner.
Funnily enough he actually knew where he lived, as a Kingsglaive he was part of prince Noctis' security, and that included being briefed on who his friends were. So he knew the general area of where Prompto's house was, and he only needed to ask a friendly neighbor to be directed to the exact one.
Prompto was both excited and nervous for their not-date. Mostly nervous. His stomach had been doing backflips all day. He had also hit up the grocery store to make the contents of his fridge look a little less sick even though he couldn't really afford it. He couldn't even afford to pay for the heating - he just hoped the house wouldn't get too cold for Nyx because that would be mortifying.
He was plenty warm enough right now given that he had dressed in his chocobo hoodie as promised. He had also spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get his hair to go just right - all he had succeeded in doing was making it look more like a chocobo's butt than normal.
The doorbell sent him into a mini panic. He checked his hair one last time, adjusted his hoodie, and ensured his wrist was covered before taking a deep breath to calm himself. He headed to the door and pulled it open, a wide smile on his face. "Hey! You made it! Come on in!"
Nyx raised his eyebrows as he saw Prompto wasn't kidding and was indeed wearing a chocobo hoodie. Not that he minded, it meant the boy kept his word. "I did, and you look really cute today." He smiled as he stepped inside.
"I know this isn't a date yet, but since you invited me over to your home, I thought I should bring you a thank you present." He had briefly considered flowers, but figured Prompto would be much happier with the chocobo keychain he'd found in a gift shop and which he was now holding up in a little gift bag for him. "I hope you don't have one like this yet."
The hoodie was adorable, the hood looked like a chocobo head - naturally. Who didn't want to wear a hoodie that made you look like an oversized chicken? Boring people. That was who. Prompto did not trust people who didn't like chocobos. He also owned a chocobo onesie complete with hood and feet. Not to mention a ton of chocobo related merchandise including a black chocobo plushie Noctis had won for him at the arcade that lived on his bed - affectionately named Fluffy McStuffins. Any wonder why the boy was still single? He had a slight obsession, okay.
Nyx's compliment drew a blush out of Prom that stretched to his ears. And the gift? That drew an almost inhuman squeak out of him once he accepted the gift bag and opened it up. There was still time to run, Nyx. The door was right there.
"Oh Em Gee! It's perfect! It's too cute!" He practically launched himself at Nyx to hug him. "Oh! But I didn't get you anything! I'm so dumb!"
Prompto need not worry, Nyx had nothing against chocobos. He'd probably have fun riding one too if required, he enjoyed adventurous and outdoorsy things like that.
And he could also be caught with some lil' Malbuddy merchandise himself, so, not going to judge that either. Besides, he just bought Prompto even more of the stuff. His reaction made him chuckle and grin at how adorable he was. So he had made the right choice.
The hug however was more unexpected, and Nyx nearly had the wind knocked out of him when this bullet of a boy hit him, but he recovered quick enough to put an arm around him. "I'm the guest, remember? You don't have to. Also, your cute smile is enough." He said the last part just a little softer, because he meant it.
Nyx would quickly learn that Prompto was an affectionate guy. He liked to hug people. Hell, he practically threw himself at Noct on a daily basis for hugs - that took someone who was incredibly brave or incredibly dumb.
Prompto couldn't help but blush more at Nyx's comment. Seriously, was the guy trying to make Prompto combust? Even so, he couldn't help but smile more, scrubbing at the back of his neck with his hand with a nervous laugh.
"Oh hey! Do you want something to drink? I have beer or soda or coffee? Whatever you fancy!" He moved to the counter, already pulling out his camera so he could snap a shot of the keyring with its tags on before pulling them off to attach it to his keys.
Nyx will try not to make him combust, but if he can make him blush and smile like that more, he will never stop. He follows along further inside and has a look around the living area. It's a nice size, and clean, which is impressive for a guy Prompto's age.
"No beer, you might start throwing cheese again," Nyx teases, but at the same time he thinks beer is a bad idea for their first not-a-date anyway. "Soda's good." He puts the bag with groceries on the table and watches Prompto do his thing. "Is that to show to all your online followers?"
Noctis could definitely learn a lesson or two from Prompto on how to keep his home clean - then maybe Ignis wouldn't have to do it for him and Prompto wouldn't be forced to play 'the floor is lava' but instead of lava it's trash in order to get to Noct's room.
"Heh. I promise this is a cheese throwing free zone. I learnt my lesson - never listen to Noct." Although honestly, things had worked out pretty well. Since if Prompto hadn't thrown cheese at Nyx they wouldn't be here now on a not-date because there was no way Prompto would've worked up the nerve to speak to Nyx under normal circumstances. Maybe he should listen to Noctis more often.
Prompto grabbed a couple of cans from the fridge and offered one to Nyx. "Well, I have an Instamog account that I post to. I don't have that many followers though and I think most the ones I have only follow me in the hope I'll post pics of Noct. I just like to take photos. I love having those memories, y'know? Speaking of which!" Prom instantly sidled up to Nyx's side. "Say cheese!" He leaned in and snapped a selfie of the pair of them.
Prompto might actually manage to make Noctis jealous when he tells him what the cheese throwing incident resulted in. It probably wasn't what the prince was aiming for.
Now that selfie was unexpected. "Hey, you're supposed to give fair warning for those, how do I even know you got my good side?" He reaches out to put his arm around Prompto's shoulders to pull him close. "Do it again. And I give you permission to post it to impress your followers."
And he might even sneak a little kiss to the side of Prompto's head while he's snapping away, just for the followers, of course.
Noctis would just have to learn to share Prompto. He didn't have a monopoly on Prompto's free time - as much as he liked to believe he did. It served him right for coaxing an easily swayed Prom into cheese throwing activities.
"Pretty sure you don't have a bad side," Prompto managed to stumble out, feeling a little flustered at the closeness. Said flustered feelings turned into a mini-freak out as Nyx kissed his head. That blush was back in full force. Just for the followers, of course.
"A selfie with the infamous Nyx. Everyone will be super jealous." He was going to treasure said selfie forever. "We should start making sandwiches!!"
