Noctis didn't use his replicator because he knew he was going to need it. He wanted to make sure that he took the time to appreciate the fact that his Shield was here still here with him. Unselfishly he wished the man would go back and stand by his own king. But Noctis was feeling a little bit selfish and was relieved every damn day that they were both still here.

So to that end, his replicator was able to conjure Prime Garula Rib, Carp of the Diem, and of course, the Shield's beloved cup of Ramen noodles. There was also a cake waiting as well.

Somehow he had recalled Gladio's favourite dishes of Iggy's and had them waiting for when Gladio got back to the house.

And waiting really was the hardest part.

"Gags exist," Gladio says with a shrug. But no, Gladio was going to be greedy with this time they steal with each other.

Wait.

"Jealous? Why would he be jealous?"

[fatedsacrifice]

Noctis just laughed a little until Gladio realized what had been said.

"I don't know, he'd be feeling pretty left out because Miss Cindy or Aranea wouldn't be here to keep him otherwise occupied."

[ziedrich_bearer]

Ah, there's that. Good. He didn't think that Prompto had been into him. That was a relief. He would hate to break the guy's heart.

"Oh the Cindy thing isn't going to happen. But Aranea..."

Well, that might.

[fatedsacrifice]

Noctis shook his head with a smile. Even if Cindy wasn't married to her job, she might take up with that friend of hers, the one in Lestallum.

What was her name? Oh right, Holly.

That had the king look at Gladio, with surprise in his voice. "You really think Aranea would give Prompto the time of day?"

Or night.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Yes, she absolutely had. But Gladio wasn't outing her to even the King.

"I think she would," Gladio says as he finishes his plate. "And I think I'm about done talking about Prompto's lack of love life."

[fatedsacrifice]

Noctis laughed a little. "Ya, I just selfishly wish I could see them from time to time." Because when he went back he wasn't seeing any of his friends except Luna, his dad, Cor and all of them.

But he tried not to think about all of that when he had Gladio here.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Yeah, Gladio too. And he hates that he feels selfish for it. So instead he stands and offers Noctis his hand.

"Maybe I can take that from your mind right now."
