PLEASE.

He really couldn’t be any luckier, he knew. And in truth, he could hardly believe it.

Cool air from outside drifted in from the crack under his front door. He’d noticed it when it had been open--- just a few moments ago--- to let the lady in; it lingered as he took her coat. Of course, he quickly invited her in. His best friend— truly, his best— had already seen fit to stop by. And so, after settling in his newest guest by the fire, he left them alone--- his best friend and almost-protégé--- to fetch something from the laundry to keep the upcoming winter outside where it belonged.

He overheard them talking, mumbles from a distance. And soon after, he heard laughter. At that. he couldn’t help but smile. It was wonderful to have guests, always. But, it was even more wonderful to have people he cared for so deeply. And to see them getting along so easily—

He returned to the room with a tea tray, loaded with three cups and as many snacks as he could carry. It wobbled slightly as he leaned to set it at the table. Both, he noted, reached out to help. And soon enough, they all found themselves laughing, grinning, something of the sort---

“ I know, it's not easy or too simplified,                      I know but you and I are on each other's side”

T.B.H. My friend and I were just talking about how XV feels like a less well-done rip off of XII in a lot of ways. Not entirely, obviously, but it feels pretty heavy-handedly similar to XII

FFXII has always been my favorite and I came super late to the party (I’m talking like 2011/2012, so the fandom was dead by then), but I remember finding a LOT of reviews online saying that FFXII wasn’t compelling because the storyline was messy and it was a Star Wars ripoff (rebel princess, big bad Empire, sky pirate with animal-ish sidekick etc etc etc).

Now, years later, most of the opinions and stuff I see on the internet are praising FFXII for its story (which was always a big thing for me, because it was heavily based on politics and stuff like that and I LOVE it) and pretty much everything else. XD And it makes me super happy because I do think the game deserved better and now maybe it’ll be properly recognized with the remastered version.

But then I started watching Kingsglaive and... Whoa. Whooooa. So many similarities, I couldn’t help. Oddly enough, after playing the game and after roleplaying so much, I think they’re more distant things now - probably because of the way the protagonists were developed. But it’s still very similar in some core aspects and it makes me wonder just how it would have gone with a few different things (such as the resistance thing, or exploring some other things/characters).

  As far as work placements went, this one could have been less awkward.

  “I’m sorry, Miss... Fleuret?” 

   Which part is her surname?! How do you go your entire Garden-based career and not know the surname of the Duchess of Dollet?! Alright, Meri. Don’t panic. I’m sure it’s not the first time someone’s messed her name up. Ugh...

@thekingsshield. A gorgeous Gladio with a good mix of humour and serious content. I love him dearly.

@oracleofthegods. I LOVE LIZ OKAY. She’s a total sweetheart and even let me hang off of her arm at con. Her Luna deserves to be loved by everyone -- she’s precious. 

 ☠ Drabble list-- You can send one anytime: Expecting: Our characters find out they are expecting a child together

     Luna had been avoiding the Glaive for a while now, he wondered why. And for once, he was letting the thought of her consume him. 

Did I do something wrong? Did she finally decide to she’s had enough of me? Did she decided that us together here and now.. isn’t worth it?

     He chugged back the bear he had in hand, throwing it aside along with the other ones he had drank in the past hour. I’m such an idiot. Never did he let himself get like this, he promised himself that he would never sink so low, but with Luna it was different. usually he could hide behind every snarky remark, just shrug it off like it meant nothing, but with her, he let her take over, break his walls and allow her to do something she he has never let anyone do: He let her in.

          Reaching into his mini fridge, he broke off another cap and sipped away. Drinking was indeed his worst habit. Today he resides in his room held back in Lucis. He would go back to his apartment, but the past few days he was backed up with work so he thought, what the hell. ❝ Damn it all. ❞ He sighed and let another wave of liquid flow down his throat as he swallowed. Before he drown in another hour of his thoughts, a knock came at the door.

      ❝ I’m busy. ❞ He snarled, placing down the bottle. When it came again, he gave a roll of his eyes before opening the door. ❝ I sad I’m— ❞ Catching glimpse, his eyes met with Luna;s. Shock overcame him. ❝ Sorry. ❞ Was all he could say before sitting at the edge of his bed. There he sate, bare chest and sweat obviously leaking from his temple. It was clear he was having a rough time.

     ‘ I’m sorry for intruding. I just.. ‘ Luna spoke softly, fiddling with her thumbs as she looked away from him. She walked into the room, standing not to far from Nyx.

         He shrugged his shoulders, not letting her feel bad for it, she shouldn't’ Though he did wonder why she was here after avoiding him for so long, he didn’t want to call her out on it. ❝ No worries, don’t stress on it too much. ❞ It did bother him though, so he would mention it, just in a more discreet way. ❝ Listen Luna.. I knwo you have a lot on your mind, but I just.. ❞ He sighed, already hating himself, but still continuing. ❝ Look, if you don’t wish to see me anymore I under— ❞

      ‘ I’m pregnant. ‘ Point blank, she spoke out. No warning, just the full truth.

          He didn’t know how to react, but turning to her, the look upon her face told that she was not lying. ❝ Really.. ? ❞ All at once, all of it was hitting him. He didn’t know how to face it. Nyx was going to be.. a father. Luna nodded, tears filling her eyes as she moved closer to hold his face. Simply asking, was he happy. Nyx closed his eyes, feeling the touch of her upon his skin.

      ❝ You really know how to turn a mans world upside down huh? ❞ No one has ever seen it, but she was about to first hand. His eyes damped as he took her in his arms, never wanting to let her be. ❝ Of course I’m happy.. I never thought I be a dad but.. thank you Luna. I love you. ❞ They were both a blubbing mess before he finally pulled her in to capture her lips with his. Kiss deep as the two basked in the other’s love.

*gently slams my XII verse @ u & judge Aranea*

LISTEN. Your verse is lovely and fueled with so much potential for intrigue with the other Solidor brothers dying? There’s a wonderful fanfic that depicts all brothers back to when they were young and I love the idea of exploring who they were before… Things went south? I just went through Vayne’s 1st speech in Dalmasca and daaaamn. All these honeyed woooords~ Imagine him being sincere?
