Helloooo! I’ve heard that these get around much easier than graphics these days and I’d like to get started here so…if you’d like to interact with a semi-brand new Prompto Argentum ( I say semi because this isn’t my first time roleplaying him! ) then please feel free to like this post! Reblogs are appreciated, thank you in advance! I’ll be sure to check out everyone who likes this.

“ a date? “ he does not glance up from his book, for it is vital that he studies it in depth prior to his meeting on wednesday. yes, another meeting. one after another trailing into the same endless duties and requirements. but he does not mind. this is what he lives for, however when jumin pries his attention away he cannot help but allow his mind to wander. “ hm, i’m unsure. “ he feigns some notion of disinterest, as their games allow such casual attitudes towards the matter at hand as well as anything remotely personal. “ i’ll have to check my diary. valentine’s day already, is it? “ he muses, scribbling within his book something of no real relevance. 

“ i hadn’t imagined you to remember such a thing, even less plan anything for it. sure. i suppose i can free a few hours for you. “

He's not too good at knowing what gifts to give people, so he just presents a small, finely-wrapped box of classic Japanese treats to him with a quiet mumble of, "Happy birthday." (lov mi ignis)

he expects nothing of the sort to appear within his hands, for he knows so very few people and finds himself interacting only upon accordance with his duty, thus he is humbled in a manner most becoming of him as he bows his head in thanks and receives his birthday gift. “ thank you, though you shouldn’t have gone through the trouble. i’m grateful all the same. “

patiently, he awaits, counting the moments until footfall sounds from behind closed door. jumin's planned this out, down to the smallest detail (of course he has); it's the very least he could do for one he held so dear to him. grand gestures, lavish gifts - he knows that those are things ignis would deem unnecessary, and yet there he sits (a hopeless romantic at heart) at candlelit dining table, laid out with roses and bottled wines. the wrapped gifts, he'd present as a surprise later on.

perhaps, were one close enough, they may have spied the slight surprise within jade eyes, how the man blinked not once but twice upon witnessing quite the scene before him. never before had anyone prepared something as lavish as that, something as cliche and yet still enough to steal his breath for just a moment. for it was beautiful, and he sitting within this beauty seemed to have saved none of that care for himself. jumin appeared so neatly besides it all, a world in which he belonged of finery and elegance. ignis was taken aback. “ what’s all this? “ he asked, though he knew it was a silly thing to ask out loud. “ you shouldn’t have... “ but words fail him, for embarrassment stole him away in a heartbeat. crimson skin flushed beside his ears before he adjusted himself, composure restored. “ i thought you were meeting the executives this evening. unless of course, i’ve arrived too early. “

he stirs from his sleep, glasses askew and hair flat upon one side where pillow has crushed sweetly against blushing cheek, for he has slept an evening away after a day of hard labour and he could not help himself but drift away, succumbing to the exhaustion if only for a couple hours or so. “ jumin. “ he asks, sleepily with a voice crackling like a winter fire. “ my apologies, i hadn’t meant to fall asleep quite so early-- “ jumin lingers so close, close enough for ignis to reach out and take his fingers gently, as if he were fingering the ivory keys of a piano. “ interesting choice of wake up call. “ he finally wakes properly and thus his witty retorts follow suit. he keeps jumin’s hand within his as he rises and stands before him. their height is shared, inch for inch. 

he gently parts the space between hair and eyes, naked fingers without the leather of his gloves smoothing the skin of jumin’s cheek before he leans in and... their lips brush, as close as a whisper but with smooth pink meeting rosy hue. he kisses him as softly as ever, as one may blow a bubble from a soapy ring, as one may press their finger to a kitten’s nose. he kisses jumin and pulls away, sighing as he runs a hand through his own dishevelled hair. “ you’ll be wanting tea then, i suppose. you, mr han, can find us a suitable drink whilst you wait. i’d trust your tastes over my own in that department any day. “

     – – The cold was but a gust of air ‘pon thinly covered skin; robust uniform keeps fiery crow warm enough. Indeed, own blood courses through veins akin to liquified FLAME thus giving birth to abnormal body heat. Gelid winds are NOTHING more than an unwished sensation; fizzling out when raging against stoic form. 
               Hardly, sir. 
             Hence glaive allowed head to cant, a single somewhat bewildered glare flung towards latest companion. Although ‘rigorous attendant’ appeared to be a more fitting term – his inquiry held a certain desire to pry into rather personal affairs; oh, black bird’s abilities seemed peculiar. DIFFERENT. && thus one would GUARD them. Irises twitched as they searched for focus elsewhere
            Behold, she is enigma personified.

“ i see. “ comes the reply, fingers aligning so naturally with his spectacles as he promptly pushes them further along the bridge of his nose. he is not in the habit of sparing criticism where it is due, to intrude upon the expectations laid before his prince as a means of dissecting them. thus he looks upon the training he must endure with a critical eye, a pursed set of lips and a mind overworking itself to find best the solution to his lord’s shortcomings. “ however, i doubt his highness is able to replicate such a skill. i insist that we wait until the skies are clearer. “ it has been said that ignis’s heart possesses a warmth rarely seen, that he is softer where others may see a thorough and determined sternness within him. alas, in the waving aside of his lord’s training merely due to the storm being present, one could see such a trait blossom easily, that he possesses a weaker side to where his prince may be concerned. sometimes.

“ whatever did you hope to teach him in conditions where he can barely see the nose upon his face? “ he asks, arms folding across his chest to warm himself as snowfall whipped his cheeks upon the wind.
