Zappy: lively, full of energy, snappy

Prompto sighed as he stood before the Farron's residence, eyeing the peanut shaped home that Lightning and Serah lurked in. For five minutes he rapped on their door, but there was no sound or sign of life inside. For a moment, he considered departing and going elsewhere; but he couldn't think of anywhere else to go. Noctis' was too big, Ignis wouldn't let him in, and everyone else that he could think that he'd hang out with would pull him into some sparring that he wasn't in the mood for.

Lightning shot him the occasional glare and grumble, but other then those, he was welcomed to her home. Something she never voiced, but he always got the sense of. Lightning never booted him out, yet anyway.

Frowning, he drew away, peering down at the door quizzically, slowly looking around the area for a key that Lightning might stash away somewhere. Surely he's known her long enough to get some idea where she might have stashed a key...

Prompto smirked when he managed to catch sight of a flash of silver, peeking out above the door. Grabbing it, Prompto let himself in and quickly locked it just as quickly. "Lightning?" he shouted out, pausing and listening for the pale strawberry haired beauty. When he heard nothing, Prompto concluded that he had the house to himself till Lightning came home.

A little loss on what to do, Prompto slipped into the den, staring about the home he's used to lurking around. Pausing when he saw the bookshelf, something that he never really paid much attention too in Light's home. Curiously, he slid up to the bookshelf, noting all the books that Lightning had, some he was sure that Serah owned as well. He didn't think Lightning would own and read romance.

His eye caught sight of a tall towering folder, faded letters smeared over the spine saying: Family Photos.

Warily, Prompto glanced at the door, before slipping out the folder and plopping on Light's couch, staring at the plain dark cover. Slowly, he flipped it open, eyeing the photo of an ivory haired man and a light, rose haired woman that looked like the perfect mix between Lightning and Serah; though he could see that Lightning got her sharper features from the ivory man.

This must have been their parents, he mused to himself, his violet eyes scoping over the picture, taking in the details and comparing them to the sisters he knew.

Prompto decided that Lightning got most of her looks form her father.

Flipping through the pages, Prompto eyed all the memories the couple recorded, from the man sleeping peacefully, which must have been a rare sight since there were a quite a few photos of him. There were pictures of them at the beach, around chocoboes, sunsets and rises; till he came across the first photo of a familiar infant.

Prompto cracked a grin, guessing that this was Lightning as a baby. He didn't know she had whitish hair as a baby. Smiling, Prompto weaved through the pages, watching Lightning grow before his eyes, playing with her both or one of her parents, napping with them, though usually her father; he saw all the messes that she made, all the cute childish antics she made as a child.

His smile grew when he saw her as a three year old with another baby at her side, all cuddled up in their father's arms.

That must have been Serah.

The pictures repeated, though it changed to having two sisters growing up and through life. He noticed though that when Serah was around the age of three, Lightning appeared less and their father never showed up again. It almost seemed like they were taking breaks from the use of the camera. Only birthdays seemed to squeeze in photos.

More seemed to appear when Serah looked about seven and the pictures started to fill the album; Lightning only started to appear occasionally, even then, Prompto could already see how she started to become what she is today. Hardly ever did she smile in her pictures, and there wasn't any of her hanging around with a friend of anyone of her own age. Only with Serah and her mother is who she'd share the photos with.

The album went through another time skip. The last photo was Serah's thirteenth birthday, smiling brightly and surrounded friends that he recognized today as NORA. After that, there wasn't another photo till Lightning's graduation from high school, though there was a smile on her face, no light in her eyes. After that, Lightning seemed to disappear from the photo album. Snow, NORA, and Serah appeared occasionally, but pictures were few.

It seemed it had yet to be touched since Serah's seventeenth birthday.

Slowly, Prompto flipped back the pages, eyeing the little Lightning, seeing the bright smile on her face as her eyes gleamed up at the camera, looking like the happiest child in the world.

He almost wanted to see that same spark and smile on her face.

He brightened when an idea popped into his head, grinning brightly. Setting the album aside, he jumped up and hopped onto Light's computer, hooking up his cell to it and smirking.

Lightning wasn't too surprised at the sight. Weakly, she glared down at Prompto, the blonde passed out on her couch, again. At least he wasn't invading one of the beds this time. Shaking her head at him, she slipped closer, arcing a brow as she picked up the old album that was lying on top of him.

She forgot that they had this album.

Frowning, she flipped the folder over, eyeing the page that he was on.

Her eyes widened as she stiffened, her face flushing darkly at the image. In her hands, before her was the latest addition to the album. It was a picture of her and the newest addition to their group of friends. Gladious had Ignis and Noctis under his arms with Prompto hooking his arm around her neck, pulling her close into the sudden photo.

Only Gladious and Prompto were smiling while the rest were scowling at the camera.

Scoffing and rolling her eyes, she shot Prompto a lazy glare before slipping it back into place. Then snagging a blanket that rested on a near chair, she laid it out over the passed out blonde.

"Idiot," she muttered before she left the room, leaving the smiling blonde to doze peacefully on her couch.

and this concludes my go and Prompto and Lightning, and my second Alphabet Challenge. i have about one story that was brought out from this drabble; but this will probably be my only PromptoxLightning story for a while. i do miss writing Lightis X)

now that this is done, i'll have more time for The Lightning Strike, which should be finishing up soon, roughly around Ch 15, or so i'm planning.

anyway, keep a look out for a new Lightis story: falsum inuno, falsum in omnibus... it might take a while though, i'm going to try and write a good few chapters ahead just to get a flow of the story.

over all, thank you all for reading :D
