How The Chocobros Cry Feat. Ravus Nox Fleuret
Feel free to leave a head-canon request in my inbox. I just felt like doing these for fun!
The “cry until I get what I want” crier.
He always looks for some kind of comfort - a hand on his shoulder, a sympathetic look, a talk - anything will do.
Noctis always starts out with a sniff and a hand reaching up to rub his nose, it’s a habit he picked up when he was a kid because he’s got those drippy nose tears.
He’s not a guy who sobs, per se, but he absolutely cannot talk while he cries without it coming out like an unintelligent mess of syllables.
He just really wants a friend during this time and sometimes wishes his dad were around more to pick him up when he’s feeling down.
Noctis blows his nose when he cries, a lot, and ends up with a bright red snoot for most of the day following because of the dryness.
Prompto had his fair share of cries when he was younger, mostly because of bullying and out of loneliness. However, he found that - at the time - no one would listen to him or offer a hand, so crying seemed like a waste in the long run.
He close to never cries now that he’s older, there’s just no reason for it and he’s actually afraid it would make him look weak in front of his friends. He looks up to them all as emotionally strong and sound people, and wants them to do the same.
If ever the occasion does arise, Prompto is as silent as can be when he cries, tears dripping down his face and not a breath out of place - but he does bury his face in his hands.
The last time he cried, Pryna was there and the dog licked away his tears.
If he ever feels the need, you can bet he’ll fight them back until the well dries up altogether.
The “real men cry” crier.
Gladiolus doesn’t mind crying, he actually thinks it’s completely healthy and good for one’s mental wellbeing.
He loves crying happy tears, like when Ignis had given him a book for the first birthday they celebrated of his as friends instead of weights or gear like everyone else had given him. Big guy was down for the count with those suckers pricking at the corners of his eyes.
Nothing really gets him like a sappy romance novel; some of them have left him fucked up for hours at a time.
Gladiolus doesn’t make much noise when he cries, just a hitch of a breath and lots of sniffles.
He doesn’t mind crying in front of people, sometimes sharing the pain is the best way to get over it.
He’s more likely to cry over emotionally moving things than physical injury.
The “if you didn’t see me, I didn’t do it” crier.
Ignis prefers to cry alone; it’s best because he likes to gather his thoughts, tries to rationalize through the events that brought about the upset and then get over it with the utmost grace.
He doesn’t believe crying shows weakness, it’s normal to become upset with things, but as the one who is most put together within their team - his emotional strength is of the utmost importance.
His eyes swell a bit when he cries, so even if he tries to hide it and no one brings it up, chances are they already know.
After a cry, he gets the hiccups. They’re bloody annoying.
He really hates when tears get on his glasses, they tend to level at the bottom brink and are ridiculously hard to clean without his lens wipes.
He’s cried openly in front of Noctis and only once in front of Gladiolus; he tries to avoid such a thing with Prompto because the blond tends to fret a lot and he dislikes worrying him.
The “there’s just something in my eye” crier.
If someone so much as witnesses him shedding a tear, he will outright deny it whilst grabbing a tissue.
For about a year after the Empire struck, Ardyn despised having to visit him because Ravus would cry on sight, face twisting so grotesquely that the Chancellor thought him kin to the daemons.
Pryna was his living Kleenex.
Growing up, he reeled in his emotions and doesn’t allow his heart to tether to anything tightly enough to evoke tears when lost - however, a stubbed toe may bring about a watery drop or two.
Upon discovering Lunafreya’s death, his sadness was overwhelming, but he refused to shed a tear.
Remembering his mother always fills the well anew, however.
