“I prefer this. I could take care of my hair by myself, after all.” He said, an small SMIRK forming on his lips.

It wasn’t that Noctis went out of his way to ignore the advice of his advisor. The advice of which he knew was ever in his best interest. In fact, Noctis found it immeasurably difficult to go out of his way to do most things. It just so happened that it was easier to let his longtime friend’s guidance fall on deaf ears. With all the buzz of responsibility and royalty, Noctis found it hard to keep focused long enough to keep everything in mind, even with Ignis’ constant reminding. 

LEARNING SIMPLE YET IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS: Despite Noct’s difficulty motivating himself and finding time to do things between school, royal duties, friends, training, etc... He likes to learn small, important tasks as much as possible. He tries his hand at cooking, though he knows he’s terrible at it. He is able to recognize how important it is and has grown to dislike Ignis having to do everything for him. He knows it’s his job, but really Noctis likes the idea of being a normal, self-sufficient adult. Therefore, he reads books and looks online to learn how to do things like sew, fold clothes, basic first aid, etc... It gives him a healthy sense of accomplishment and independence, even when he struggles to do it right the first (second or third) time when trying his hand at it himself.

PIANO: As royalty, being proficient in a number of different tasks and arts was a given in the Caelum household. Noctis was constantly put under pressure to become cultured and well-rounded. Ever since he was a child he found the prospect exhausting. However, there was one thing he never minded the structured weekly lessons in. Piano. Piano was something that put him at ease. He seemed to have a knack for it, which made practicing more enjoyable. It was something he found himself doing for recreation. It was the one lesson he felt the least amount of dread preparing for, particularly when the King allowed for Ignis to be the one to teach him. Though it’s rare to hear the prince play, it’s something from his childhood that he’s always held dear. And the occasional duet is something that always brought the prince closer to his adviser when no exchange of words were necessary.

DRAWING: Particularly manga/comic book style art. Noctis always had a love for comic books. It was one thing that he and Prompto were able to bond the most with during the beginning of their friendship. However, during Noct’s teenage years he also took to drawing the styles he loved the most in all his favorite comics. He tried his hand at a few comics himself, but never had a knack for story-telling. He’s always been too embarrassed to reveal his love for drawing. However, that hasn’t stopped Ignis from finding his work during cleaning sessions in Noct’s room or at his apartment. Though the heated reaction Noctis had after Ignis’ mentioned his talent left the rest a mystery to Eos. Ignis kept Noct’s hobby a secret, and Noctis would stick to doing his stealthy doodles in his spare time when he was sure no one else was around.

BUBBLE BATHS: Luxury is something that is not unfamiliar to the prince, however, this in and of itself doesn’t explain Noct’s solid affinity for baths. When he was little and still healing from his injuries, baths were a very common practice for the young boy. For so long, it hurt terribly to do anything except lie in bed. However, baths were one of the few times he was able to do something other than that. He remembers the soft bubbles, heavenly warm water, and fragrant oils always soothing his frustrating aches and pains. Once he was recovered, he was able to enjoy them more without the embarrassment of having someone there to help him and check in on him constantly. From then on, it became a place of rest and solitude. He could close his eyes and nap in peace, surrounded by warmth and silence to soothe is fresh wounds and sore muscles.

WATCHING NATURE DOCUMENTARIES: Noctis has always had a love for animals, despite pets being an odd affair at the palace. Sure, there were cats to keep vermin away and plenty of birds to watch, but Noctis never really had an official pet of his own, though that didn’t stop him from “claiming” and naming the cats around the citadel. Animals always fascinated him, and of course fish are included in the equation. Aside from riveting nature documentaries about the wilds of Duscae and Liede, he especially took to ocean documentaries and those describing the different aquatic life of Eos. He finds them relaxing and interesting, and always gets excited learning about new fish he has yet to encounter, or even ones he’s already had the pleasure of reeling in.

Noctis had been about to bark back a defensive comment in response to her amused chuckling, mostly out of embarrassment for his fumbling fingers. He didn’t want to admit defeat against the leathery foe. However, he was stopped short of breath as she laid her head against his chest. 

She might hear his heartbeat quicken after making such a suggestion, crimson rushing to his cheeks and a hint of moisture beginning to cling to his shirt in anticipation. He swallowed and cleared his throat before responding as coolly as possible.

Nicknames: Noct or Sulky

Gender: It’s complicated and a bit wishy-washy at times

Star Sign: Virgo (just like Noct~)

Height: 5'1

Sexuality: I just say that I’m bi since I don’t fully understand all the discourse about bi vs. pan. Basically I have no gender/sexual preference

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Favorite Animal: Cats <3

Average Hours Of Sleep: Anywhere from 3-4 or 9-11 as of late but I try to keep it somewhat “healthy” when I can

Dogs or Cats: I love all animals but I have an understanding of cats unlike other pets. They’ve always been in my life and I’ve always felt a connection to them.

Number of Blankets: 1 if it’s hot for some reason but preferably like 2 or 3. I get cold easily.

Where I’m From: Michigan, United States

Dream Trip: Japan, Poland, NYC, Thailand... There’s so many neat places I wanna see

When I Created My Account: I’ve used tumblr since around 2010 but I made this account specifically around 2-3 years ago I think?? Wow... Hard to think it’s been that long.

Why I Created My Account: To have a place to reblog ffxv related stuff I like and dump all the fan fiction and headcanons I was creating. I never dreamt I’d interact with others or actively be a part of the fandom. I wrote solely for myself and it wasn’t until @prettyprompto that I started RPing and reaching out more as well as having others reach out to me. Crazy.

Number Of Followers: Somewhere around 1k I think, but I haven’t checked in ages

Noctis replied to her subtle taunt with a huff and a crooked smile before burying his face once more into her neck and trailing his fingers down her side, searching for each clasp and taking his time undoing them. He pulled away afterwards, gently sliding her armor down and marveling at the more revealing ensemble underneath. He’d never seen so much of the already breathtaking mercenary and found himself needing to refocus before realizing his next task at hand, undoing these straps.

It wasn’t that the young prince was entirely inexperienced. Well, in a way it was. However, he’d had a few small flings here and there that never amounted to much. Though being in front of such a woman, strong and sure of herself in his presence, he felt nothing like being with the young, giddy girls back home. Indeed, he was nervous yet eager to impress, which would likely become apparent in the clumsy manner in which he searched for and fumbled with her straps.
