A/N: So, my fiancée and I have been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XV lately, and I saw the scene in the anime where Noctis gives his vegetables to Ignis instead of eating them. That's all that inspired this little one-shot XD
Spoiled
Summary: Gladio puts his foot down when Noctis tries to resist eating his vegetables.
Gladio was annoyed.
Not too much of a surprise. He was basically the father of the little group consisting of Noctis, himself, Prompto, and Iggy, with the last one being the mother.
And Noctis was definitely the little spoiled brat of the family. Sure, he was the prince, but by the Six, he needed to grow out of that pampered lifestyle and grow the hell up.
They were all seated around a campfire after a long, hard battle against some of the native monsters and they were hungry. Prompto wouldn't shut up about being starved while Ignis made them all some kind of dinner.
By dinner, it meant food that wasn't Cup of Noodles.
The tank of the team wasn't particularly thrilled about it, but he knew from experience that Specs could cook better than the rest of them put together and so he didn't make a fuss.
Prompto didn't seem to mind too much, either; the blond was busy going through the pictures he had taken for the day, including some he managed to take in the middle of battle. How the kid did it, Gladio didn't understand.
But Noctis…
If Gladio had to hear him bitch and complain about being tired of constantly fighting one more time, he was going to through his little emo ass into a lake.
"Hey, Ignis, can you make something that doesn't require some kind of vegetable?" he asked.
Ignis turned from his position with his mouth open to answer, but Gladio beat him to it. He stood over the prince and glared at him. "If he wants to make something with a goddamn vegetable, then he will. Quit your bitching."
Noctis threw his head back with a groan. "Aww, man…I hate them…"
"Tough shit." Gladio scowled, smashing his fist into his open hand. "You're too damn spoiled for your own good. It's time you grew the hell up. Whether you like it or not, this time you're going to eat your goddamn vegetables."
Noctis's eyes widened and he sat up straight. "What!? You can't make me!"
"The hell I can't." Gladio stalked over to him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "You. Are. Fucking. Eating. Them."
He let go and stormed over to Ignis. "Make sure you put vegetables on the brat's plate."
Ignis raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Finally got annoyed of him constantly putting them on my plate, have you?"
"Yes." Gladio scowled. "It's time we stopped fucking babying him."
"Don't be afraid. I think you'll find that today's meal will do the trick quite nicely." Ignis chuckled. Perhaps he too wanted to see Noctis grow the hell up. Or maybe, he just thought it would be funny seeing the prince's reaction.
Either way, Gladio knew that Ignis was all for it.
"Speaking of dinner, I believe it is finished," Ignis announced. The smell wafting from the pot was delicious, and Gladio's stomach growled in agreement.
Specs handed out four plates, one for each of them, and as requested he made sure to put vegetables on Noctis's plate.
The prince looked at it with an eye twitch, and he tried to turn his nose up at it when Gladio cracked his knuckles menacingly.
"Fine…" he grumbled, caving in.
The dinner for tonight was a sirloin steak with grilled leeks. Noctis took a bite of them, and he swallowed.
"That…was pretty good, actually."
Gladio smirked in triumph and gave Ignis a thumbs up as they all sat down around the fire to eat and tell stories about how the day had been.
He had gotten Noctis to finally eat vegetables.
A/N: And that's it. I wanted to be short, for if it were too long, there's no saying what would've happened XD. See you soon!
