The instant he'd heard about it Noctis knew that he needed to take Prompto. It was right up the blonde's alley and if he didn't take him and the other found out about it after the fact? Noctis was never going to live it down. Plus, it was a good chance to spend some time with just Prompto. It wouldn't be hard to ditch Ignis and Gladio--if nothing else the two would enjoy a break from them as well--and then they could just run around the city together and...okay, so Noctis had a word in his head that he wanted to apply to the situation but he wasn't sure if it was appropriate. Hell, he wasn't sure if Prompto would really want to consider it the same thing that he did. So he'd just keep that to himself.

As expected Prompto had been extremely enthusiastic about the entire thing and, after a little convincing on Ignis's part, they finally made their way to Altissa for the festival.

The older duo were left behind at the hotel the second they could get away with it, Noctis tugging Prompto out of the hotel--a strange chance of pace from how things usually were--and out into the street. Everything was decked out for the festival and people of all ages were milling about, dressed up in moogle and chocobo themed attire. Noctis couldn't help but laugh lightly, in surprise and delight, not realizing right away that he was still holding Prompto's hand tightly as he turned to look at the other.

"So what do you want to do first?"

When Prompto heard from Noctis about the Chocobo festival, he had to go. He just had to or he'd never let Noctis forget about it. Reminding him all the time about how he missed out on the best day of his life. Plus, without Ignis and Gladio there to hang around them, him and Noct could maybe... you know...

Nah.

When they arrived in Altissia, and left the two adults for their own date, which made it so Prompto and Noctis could have fun on their own. Getting tugged around by Noctis was definitely unexpected, but it made him so happy that he wanted to do this all day. So when they stayed holding hands, he gave a squeeze.

Maybe this was a date.

"Hmm..." Looking around, and pointing to the Moogle mascot. "I want to get a picture of you with it!"

"Wait--me? Why me?" Noctis said, looking a bit embarrassed at the idea of posing with the mascot but he was definitely giving Prompto a tug to start heading that way so he didn't hate the idea.

He just knew he was never going to live this down if Gladio found out about it.

"...How about we take a picture with it together?" he blurted out as they got closer, a few little kids keeping the moogle busy for the moment which gave him a chance to glance at Prompto. "So we both have memories from today."

"Because!" That wasn't really a good answer, but it would make Prompto happy to see Noctis having a good time, after all. And the way Noctis didn't let go just yet... that kept his smile big and bright.

"T... together?"

That just made Prompto red in the face. Noctis... wanted to take a picture with him? Really? He gave a quick nod. "Y... yeah!" He gave that hand a squeeze. "You really wanna with me?"

Noctis was sporting a blush of his own as much as he tried to play it off, rubbing at the back of his neck with is free hand as he playfully rolled his eyes.

"Of course I do. We're here together--we should do stuff together." Right? Right. That made sense. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he was crushing on his best friend and wanted an excuse to be close to him and maybe be dumb with him for a day. Pretend that everything was perfectly fine.

Yeah.

"Come on," he said with a tug, dragging Prompto along towards the moogle so they could get their picture.

"Y... yeah! Right!" Prompto gave a nod with a smile on his face. Moving to hand his camera over to the attendant, he turned to look at Noctis and then the moogle. With a quick nod of his head, he smiles towards Noctis. Everything could be fine for one day.

Maybe this one day could end well for the both of them.

"Okay!" He grinned, hoping that he wouldn't have to let go. He slid up to Noctis, squeezing his hand tighter. "Okay, on three. You count it down this time."

Noctis honestly couldn't remember the last time he'd felt this..well..giddy about something. And he was willing to show it to the person he was with, which had everything to do with the fact that it was Prompto. Anyone else and he probably would have played it off.

But he couldn't do that with Prompto.

Which is why he smiles warmly when the other comes up to his side and he returns the squeeze only to let go so he can wrap his arm around the blonde's shoulders instead.

"Alright," he agreed and looked towards the attendant, putting on his best smug grin. "One..two...three!"

Click!

Prompto loved how happy Noctis was with him right now. That smile made him happy too, and he grinned as he wanted to take photos together. That... that made him happy. The way he could spend time with Noctis and he didn't feel like he was dealing with the prince. Just... two friends.

Maybe... boyfriends?

He put up bunny ears above Noctis's head right when the camera snapped. A second photo without them was quickly taken before the camera was handed back to them. It allowed him to show both photos. "I'm showing this one off to Ignis" Pointing to the first one.

How can he not be happy right now? He gets to spend this day with Prompto, forgetting about everything else going on for now so they can just enjoy themselves. It was a well deserved break from everything.

And yeah..yeah boyfriends might be a good way of putting it.

Noctis mock frowns at the first picture before he grabs Prompto around the neck and ruffles his hair up.

"You're an ass, you know that?" he chided fondly, unable to keep the frown up as he grins at the other. "So what next?"

He doesn't feel right saying boyfriends yet, but the idea is certainly there. That they're close. That they're closer than best friends. But he knows if he doesn't, Noct has to.

And good luck with that.

"Hey, it's a fun picture, right?" And they need fun so badly.

"Hmm... hungry? We could get something to eat."

"One for the albums," Noctis drawled but he had every intention of keeping the photo forever if he was able. It would be a nice reminder of good times rather than all the bad times they'd had as of late.

Letting his arm rest around Prompto's shoulders now that he was done messing up the other's hair, the prince let out a thoughtful hum.

"Food sounds good. I have no idea where to even start, though. Everything smells really good."

"Yeah. I'm gonna put it at the front of the album." He nodded, smiling. He was going to create a great album of photos that they have taken together. They needed something happy. Something really happy.

"H... hey, don't mess up my hair!" He laughs, trying to push him away. But not wanting him too far away. Because he felt so nice.

"Hm... maybe... a salad?"

"You did not just suggest salad," Noctis said dryly, side-eyeing the hell out of the blonde because good sir that was the most terrible suggestion and he knows you're just being a brat about this.

He keeps his arm snug around the other, letting out a dramatic sigh as he leans more of his weight onto the blonde.

"You're trying to starve me. I see how it is."
