Party Time

[loveandduty]

Who: Everyone who wants to attend.
What: It's a party for all, but the pairing up part is for singles only.
When: Day 19 of Fiddlesticks
Where: Gym Carriage
Warnings: Who knows atm just Minako being Minako will add more as things happen.

[Minako figured she did the best she could for the party. Though she also wondered if perhaps she might not have that many people come. Sure she wanted to put singles together, but at the same time, she simply wanted people to have fun.

In the dressing carriage, people will find costumes and masks that were more gothic in nature. There was food and hopefully some forms of sweet treats for those looking for it as well as a variety of drink, mostly non-alcoholic.]

"Sorry, kid. That's the risk you run when you're friends with me. Ask Prompto." He laughed. He was a tease, it couldn't be helped. Gladio felt it was a good way to relax and unwind, and it was good for a laugh, so long as the other person didn't mind of course. And Inigo was a good guy. He could take the teasing with little more than a blush and a little flailing, but he wouldn't push it too far. Just in case. Gladio knew well enough not to take a joke too far.

[flatteries]

He's taking deep breaths. Deep breaths. Hopefully those will be enough to at least fully force the blush off his face so he doesn't look like a total idiot for the rest of the conversation..

So thankfully he at least looks a bit more calmed down again by the time he's listening to what Gladio says.

"But you and Prompto aren't.." He pauses and stops, making a vague (non-dirty, thank you!!) hand gesture. ".. you know? Not just.. friends? That means he must be getting special treatment!"

[callmegladio]

"... You know I didn't just meet him and fall into bed with him, right?" Gladio asked with a smile. "We were friends before he started getting special treatment."

And even then, Gladio still thought of Prompto as a friend as well as a lover. He still teased him. Nothing had changed about that. It was just now he could get away with kissing the hell outta him as well!

[flatteries]

"Yes, but he is getting special treatment now, isn't he? Oh, to be that lucky..!"

Inigo sighs. Dramatically.

And then just about two seconds later his two braincells finally catch onto what that could have sounded like, and the blush that only just left his face is back. Once again.

"-- Lucky to not get teased, I mean! Sweet Naga! I'm just going to stop talking. No more words from me."

[callmegladio]

Gladio's brows shot up and his grin was back, as soon as Inigo started to blush he burst out laughing. This kid... Was he aware of how cute he was? Though it was a shame his Foot In Mouth Syndrome seemed to be a terminal case.

"Oh damn... Inigo, you... really need to start thinking through what you're about to say before you say it!" He said once he'd finished laughing, but there was still a very cheerful tone to Gladio's voice. "And who the hell said Prompto doesn't get teased? I tease him all the time. Ask him some time."

[flatteries]

Almost as if he's trying to provide evidence that he truly doesn't think before he speaks, he does it.. yet again.. Though it honestly isn't on purpose!

"But that's so.. so hard! Are you telling me people think before they say anything? All the time? How aren't people getting headaches?!" (Maybe it'd help if he had more than two active braincells at any given time.)

.. At least Prompto might understand him. That guy feels a little more on Inigo's level.. Maybe it's why they get along so well. Although Gladio seems like a good guy too! But just.. way above him on the intelligence scale, apparently.

"I'll make sure to ask him about it though. Next time I see him! I'm going to confirm you aren't just trying to pull the wool over my eyes!"

[callmegladio]

Was this how Prompto thought all the time? Gladio wanted to laugh again. He didn't think that Inigo would react the same way Prompto did to his methods of calming the blonde down. So he needed to find a different way.

So he moved to lift his hands and drop them into Inigo's shoulders and leaned down so that he was looking directly into the teen's eyes. Gladio was smiling, there was actual affection in that smile, his eyes were calm, warm chocolate brown. Nothing threatening here!

"Inigo... Chill. I'm sorry I teased you. But I promise, I do it to everyone I consider a friend, even Prompto. Especially Prompto. And yeah, thinking before you say something is a thing people do. But..." It was cute when people like Inigo didn't do it, and it was good for a laugh. Gladio didn't say that though, he didn't want to set him off again! "... You're good how you are. So relax."

[flatteries]

Thank Naga there's nothing actually threatening about it or Inigo might just have screamed at those hands suddenly coming down on his shoulders. But even though the hands suddenly being there in the middle of his freakout is a little startling, Inigo loses all instinct to shriek when he looks at Gladio's face and sees that smile. It is friendly and weirdly calming..

But then Gladio just has to say that last part, and Inigo can feel a blush growing on his cheeks that's spreading all the way to his ears. Why this, he's so bad with actual compliments...

"Ah.. um.." Thankfully this time it's not a flustered outward freakout as much as it's a flustered inward freakout? He looks pretty calm on the outside, just.. very, very shy. His eyes dart around for a moment before his gaze returns to meet Gladio's own.

".. Thanks. That's really sweet to say. And.. uh, you don't need to say sorry for teasing me. It's alright, really. You're a sweet guy, Gladio. I know that even when I'm panicking, so don't worry."

[callmegladio]

Damn but that blush really was cute! Inigo needed to stop that. It would get him into so much trouble being that cute.

Gladio smiled and let his hands drop away from Inigo's shoulders, but not before he lifted one to gently ruffle his hair.

"Glad you remember that. But I'll try and hold myself back. I don't want you having a heart attack or something, Prom'd never forgive me for killing his friend."

[flatteries]

"It's appreciated."

Because contrary to how Inigo looks when he works himself up as often as he does, he would prefer to not have a heart attack either, thanks!

There's no real resistance to the hair ruffle though. Inigo may actually like those more than he's willing to admit, considering he thinks it's probably not as appropriate for him to love those so much when he's supposed to be all tough and mature.. but he can't help but like the feeling of Gladio's hand on his head for a moment.

"I should get going-- my boyfriend is waiting for me." There's a smile on his face as he says it. "Do enjoy the party though, Gladio."

[callmegladio]

Gladio grinned and gave a cheerful nod, accepting that answer, since it didn't seem that Inigo was just making an excuse because he'd teased him too much.

"Alright, kid. You go have fun! I'll just wait here for my dumb blonde to finally make an appearance." He was laughing, but there was real tenderness in his voice when speaking of his blonde. "I'll see you around, Inigo."
