Party Time

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.]

OOC: Examples of the type of outfits and such can be found here: costumes and

"Yeah! And if anyone looks at us, they'll be so distracted by my outfit they won't even notice your terrible dance moves!" He teased with a laugh. He wondered if they could request some music Gladio would be comfortable with.

"I'm surprised you haven't let anyone else talk you into dancing. You know I won't get jealous over that right?"

Gladio raised a brow at that. Prompto thought he was a terrible dancer, hm? And it was okay to go and dance with someone else? Well then. "Well, if I'm so bad." He finished his drink and moved a step away to place the empty cup on a table and then made a show of looking around the room. "I guess I should find someone else to dance with who can appreciate me more."

To be fair, he hadn't been there long enough for anyone to approach him. And he didn't think there was anyone else who'd want to dance with him, not that he went out of his way to ask. The music was not quite his speed after all.

Prompto laughed and swatted Gladio's arm playfully. He loved it when Gladio played along with him. Well, technically he loved just about anything Gladio did so this shouldn't be a surprise.

"No way! You're stuck with me now! You had your chance." He held out his hand. "Come on, Big Guy. You're mine."

"Hm..." Gladio tried really hard to be huffy, but the hand slipping into his and Prompto's reply had him smiling despite himself.

"I suppose... There's no one I really want to dance with here..." Aside from the blonde at his side. With a smile he held the hand in his a little tighter and lifted his arm to spin him and pull him in close to his chest, his other arm slipped about Prompto's slim waist to hold him there. "But you."

Gladio didn't manage to look huffy. It was possible someone who didn't know him as well as Prompto might have been fooled. For the blonde boy, his hunk of a boyfriend was being cute and amusing. Totally smitten or utterly enamored both were too mild of descriptions for how into the large man, Prompto had fallen.

He laughed with delight when he was spun and drawn in close. "You're going to give me a big head!"

"And Six forbid I go and do a thing like that." He murmured, smiling down at the man in his arms with love in his eyes. He wanted Prompto to feel good about himself. Wanted to flatter him, to shower him with praise, to show him how much he adored him.

And if to do that he needed to dance, then so be it.

He stepped backwards, drawing the blonde with him as he moved out toward the dance floor behind him.

Prompto laughed again at Gladio's joke, tilting his head back and his eyes partially closing. They were just getting into step with the song when the last few chords were played. Before the blonde could say anything though, the music switched to a ballad.

Blue eyes that had been so confident a moment ago blink and fill with uncertainty. "Uh.. I haven't really uh.. danced.. well, I mean, yes I've danced but not like this before. We could um, sort of sway?"

Gladio looked down at the blonde with an amused little smile. "What...?" It was then that he caught on to what was playing. His head lifted and tilted a touch, listening to it... There was a constant beat, but it was slow... And he smiled.

"Relax." Gladio returned his focus to Prompto as he changed his hold upon him, and yes, for a moment they just swayed, just until Prompto settled down. "You don't like slower music?" He asked softly, voice pitched low, just for his lovers ears alone.

Prompto found himself smiling again as he watched Gladio's face listening to the music. Was his boyfriend cute or what? His broad shoulders and strong jawline, even the scar added to his rugged handsomeness. He could stand here watching that face the whole length of the party and be happy.

Of course then there was the question and assurance that distracted him. His gaze dropped momentarily to see what Gladio was doing with shifting the way he was being held. A second later, he decided he liked this too. The swaying and encouragement had him relaxing and tempted to lay his head on that massive chest. He blinked at the question and thought over the answer.

"Sometimes, if they're sad," he admitted quietly. "But this one isn't. I just don't know how to dance to it like faster songs. I don't want to embarrass you."

"Then don't listen to the words, just the music." He said and his smile gentled. "And you can never embarrass me, love. Don't think like that." He adored Prompto. Everything about him. Every little freckle, every facet of his personality, every thought and feeling he had, Gladio loved it all.

He felt when Prompto finally relaxed enough, and slowly moved one hand to his waist, and with the other he reached for his loves hand and took it within his own.

"You know how to dance to songs like this, I promise." He was still smiling, his eyes never leaving Prompto's. "Just move with me. Listen to the music. And don't worry if you stand on my toes." The last was said teasingly, hoping to at least get a laugh to help Prompto relax a bit more.

His cheeks colored faintly with pink at the compliment. There were words Gladio had said, but he also felt the unspoken ones in how his gorgeous boyfriend was looking at him too. He soaked up this attention like he'd been starved for affection. At some points in his life, he had been- but that was far from his mind now.

"Even if I wear a bright blue outfit that makes you choke on your drink?" He asked with a giggle.

He listened at the gentle boost of confidence and did laugh when he was told he could step on Gladio's toes. It was easy once he had the mindset of following along with Gladio's lead. He loved doing that. He fell into step and his smile grew. "This isn't so hard.."

"Well..." He made a show of thinking about that one, but in the end all he could do was smile and lower his head to press a warm kiss to Prompto's forehead. "The style is all wrong for you, but the blue brings out your eyes, so it's not so bad."

He loved Prompto's laughter and would do almost anything to hear it. A day without it seemed darker somehow. And when his love found his rhythm, everything was alright with the world. They danced like it was something they had been doing for years. Prompto's smile was breathtaking and Gladio was, for a moment, captivated by it. "... Now you know why I prefer to dance like this."

The kiss made his knees weak and it wasn't even to his lips! Prompto smiled sheepishly. "I really just wanted to see your face when I wore it," he admitted with another giggle. "It was worth it too!"

He stood up on his toes to reach Gladio's lips for another kiss. They were like potato chips, okay? He couldn't have just one!

He always knew dancing was fun, but he hadn't always understood how it could be romantic. Sexy and sometimes even too sexy, but romantic? That had gone over his head. Until now, of course. Now he was confused how he'd missed it before! As he danced with Gladio, it was magical. The man was suave and everyone else had disappeared. He nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah.. it's.. Gladdy you're amazing! This is the happiest I've ever, ever been!"

He'd done it just for a reaction? Gladio didn't know whether to laugh or smack him upside the head. Luckily for Prompto he chose to laugh. At least until he was kissed. Then all Gladio could think about was how soft those lips were.

"Ever ever, huh?" Gladio was smiling, but he had to wonder if that was just an exaggeration, or whether he wasn't doing enough to make Prompto happy. Resources were, of course, pretty much limited, but maybe he could make more of an effort? Gladio really wanted to. Prompto deserved so much happiness.

"You're fairly amazing yourself." Gladio continued. "But maybe... we should find time to dance like this more often? This song won't last." And the song would soon change to one that would give him a headache. But for the moment he wanted to enjoy this. And maybe someday in the future they could replicate it?

It had been a silly way of putting what he was feeling, but he was too giddy and happy to care. Who would've thought being kidnapped by a train could end up being such a wonderful experience?

It didn't seem possible, but his expression brightened even more at the idea. "Yeah! We should. Maybe like a uh.. dance club? Or like a.. well, there's dancing with the bardic circle! I'd love to do this more often." He didn't want this to end either. He wondered if at the end of this song if he could put in ten more requests that were all similar to this one. It was romantic, after all. Wasn't that the whole point of this party?

"We're going to need to figure out how to dance with three instead of just two. Think we could do that sometime?"

"The bardic circle, huh?" He'd heard something about that, Prompto had spoken of it a few times, but he hadn't quite paid attention. But he was paying attention now. If it was somewhere he could dance like this with Prompto, then it was something worth taking note of.

And then he chuckled. "I don't know if we could do that, love. We can try, but I wouldn't wanna risk anyone getting hurt." He could easily imagine them tripping over themselves and someone getting a sprained ankle for their efforts. "But..." He smiled and, moving a hand from Prompto's waist to cup his cheek, Gladio leaned forward and pressed a soft, warm kiss to his lips. "I'd love to dance with you more."

"Yeah!" Prompto said, excited that maybe Gladio would be interested in it. "Glorfindel is doing it and there are people who can sing or play an instrument and uh.. I'm not sure what all we're doing but it's been fun! Want to join it with me? It'd be so awesome if you did!"

He snickered picturing how horribly wrong the three of them dancing could go. "Where's your-!" He was going to say something silly but something about Gladio's touch to his cheek had him blushing lightly and unable to remember what they were talking about. The kiss was delicate and sweet. His eyes slid shut briefly, savoring the fluttering feeling in his chest. When he opened his eyes again, they were warm and happy, filled with love.

"Yeah, dancing is cool.." He barely noticed he'd spoken (and said something sort of dumb) before he was stepping back in to steal another one of those kisses.

"Dancing with you is very cool." Gladio agreed in amusement before he moved in for one last kiss, just as the song ended and another, less appropriate song, came on through the speakers.

He pulled back with a chuckle and dropped his hands, letting go of Prompto's other hand so that he could wrap both of his arms around his lovers slim waist.

"I don't sing, Prom. I don't know what I'd do in something like that." Though Promptp's enthusiasm over this bardic thing was a joy to see. Gladio suddenly wished he could sing, just so he could share in that joy with him.

Prompto knew Gladio wasn't as comfortable with dancing now that the song had changed. However, he guided the Shield into a laid back, easy sway kind of dance. He didn't need anything more so long as he was still the object of Gladio's attention and in his arms.

"Have you ever really tried? Come and get a couple lessons! You have such a sexy baritone voice. I'm sure it won't take hardly any time for you to learn. It'll be fun and if it doesn't work out then you at least tried something new, right? Glorfindel didn't say we had to be good at singing to join." He made an exaggerated pout. "Pleeeeeaaasseee!"

"I've tried." Gladio replied, amused. Usually when he'd tried it had been by himself though. And sometimes with Iris. Humming, he figured, didn't really count.

But he was weak against Prompto. There was no need for him to pout and beg. Gladio might put up a token resistance, but in the end if it was something his boyfriend was asking for and it was within his power to give, he would do it. "How about I come by and see how it goes?" He offered with a warm smile. "If I like it... maybe I'll join?"

Prompto's pretend pout evaporated in an instant. Practically bouncing with excitement, the blonde boy let out a cheer. "That'd be so awesome! Thanks, Glads! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

He wanted to do something to show his thanks besides repeating the words over and over again. "Wait here! I'm going to go ask for more ballads!" He dashed off toward whoever was playing the music. If he could, he was going to get ballad songs for the rest of the night!

He hadn't said yes yet! But he probably would, given how excited Prompto was. He didn't have much time to say anything else before his love was off and running, leaving him on his own with people dancing all around him.

A little embarrassed, he stepped to the side to wait for Prompto's return.

Gladio didn't have to wait log. Prompto told the person in charge that he was totally in love and needed more slow songs! How could the DJ say no?

Racing back, he practically leaped back into his boyfriend's arms. "She said yes! After this song will be another slow one, just for us!"

Prompto leapt and Gladio caught him, laughing he wrapped his arms around his love and held him close.

"You went and did that?" His smile was warm and very tender, touched Prompto would go and ask for something like that just so he could have one more dance. Gladio leaned in and stole a quick kiss as his smile widened. It didn't bother him where they were or who would see them. If anyone had a problem with him kissing the man he loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with, they could go to hell. They'd clearly never kissed Prompto to know just how addicting those lips were...

He loved that. It was silly and excessive but who wouldn't like a big hunkalicious man like Gladio catching them? It made him feel like the man would always be there whether he fell or jumped into those massively sexy arms.

He grinned and would've said something but the kiss was too sweet for him to hurry past. He ignored everyone on the dance floor too. Being in Gladio's arms and was way more important. He drew back a little and smirked. "What do you say to one more dance and then we have our own party in our cabin?"
