"Maybe check blondies room." Gladio suggest walking out of their room with their bags. Gladio holding both his and Noct's. Ready to check out and continue their journey.
"Let's." Iggy says moving to turn, walking down the hallway to go to Prompto's room. Ignis knocks once. No answers. Twice. No answer. Thrice. No answer. He uses the key card given to him to open the door. They walk into the silence. Passing the bathroom, pass the small living area, and the bed. Pausing when they find both the prince and the blonde. Both still sleeping.
Gladio snickers. Ignis turning to give him a look. He doesn't stop, in fact he summons the blondies camera and starts taking pictures of them. Snorting as he tries to hold in his laughter. The prince lay on his side sleeping and behind him lay Prompto, spooning him. Well more like wrapping her body onto his like a backpack. Gladio found it funny. Ignis takes a breath but doesn't stop him. He walks forward, shaking Nocts shoulder then shakes Proms shoulder whose face scrunches up but rubs her face into the princes back.
"Wake up both of you. We have to go." Ignis tells them. But no reaction. "Both of you, it's time to wake up." Ignis says more firmly.
"Come on you two." Gladio helps by moving the covers off them. They both groan. "Time to get up! We have to go! Don't you want breakfast?" Gladio shouts at them. Prompto opens one eye to see both men staring down at her. She yawns.
"Food?" she asks.
"Yeah, unless you want to leave Lestallum on an empty stomach I suggest you both hurry and get ready." he tells her. Prom frowns, both? Then she notices the black hair and sees she's spooning the prince. She's spooning the prince! The prince is being spooned by her! Her whole face turns tomato red, she jumps back pulling away from the prince.
"I-I'm so sorry!" she shouts. Gladio grins.
"I don't think he cares. Come princess it's time to wake up. Rise and shine sleepy beauty." Gladio shakes the prince roughly, said prince groans, eyes slowly opening.
"It's almost time to check out why don't you hurry and change Prompto." Ignis suggests. Prompto nods grabbing her things and rushing to the bathroom. Noct slowly sits up yawning and rubbing his head.
"Sleep well princess?" Gladio asks, the prince answers with a yawn.
"Why on Eos are you sleeping here?" Ignis wonders. His heart nearly stopping when he woke up to find the prince not in bed.
"You both were... busy when I got to the room so I asked Prompto if I could sleep next to her instead." Noct answers, standing up to stretch. Ignis and Gladio blush at being caught by their prince.
"My apologies." the advisor says very guilty.
"We didn't-"
"It's fine." Noct interrupts, "this is suppose to be a vacation, sort of."
They decide to leave it at that. Noct getting ready as Prom comes out changed. She makes sure her things are packed. They quickly check out. They put their bags back into the car then go for breakfast. They take their time to eat, making sure they are full. Even checking if their phones are charged. This time they pick their own snacks. Bathroom checks just in case. When everything is done they leave. Back on the road. They have to backtrack through Duscae and into Leide, then go south to Galdin Quay.
They took bathroom breaks in Saxham (again) and Wiz. Then heading south. Noct and Prom watching videos in the back, taking naps, talking or listening to music. The journey taking most of the day like it has been. Finally making it to Galdin Quay early evening.
"It's the sea!" Prompto shouts from her seat as they turn into the resort. The blonde of course already taking pictures.
"Yes I sea." Ignis say Prom looks up from her camera to the advisor. She snorts.
"Iggy, that was so bad it's funny." the blonde giggles.
"Then shell we eat?" Ignis jokes as he parks the regalia. "After we take the ferry to Accordo."
"Yes please, I'm starving." Prompto smiles.
Noct leans over, "that was all yours." he teases Gladio who frowns at his charge.
"And that is all yours." the shield motions to the blonde.
"I got a good deal. She doesn't make bad puns." Noct says back as they exit the car.
"We shell sea." Prompto said to Ignis.
"That was very good." Iggy praises. Gladio laugh at the prince being proved wrong.
"I also got a deal." Gladio whispers to Noct. "See about what?" Gladio asks the other two, moving Noct to join them.
"If we should purchase the tickets before dinner or after."
"Wouldn't having them be better?" Noct wonders.
"But it'll be pretty late after dinner, do you want to travel while being tired? We could leave tomorrow." Prompto says.
"Why don't we get our tickets, eat dinner, then get on the ferry to Accordo, once there we sleep at a hotel, in the morning we can continue?" Gladio suggest.
There is a pause of silence. All four looking at each other. Who will agree with who? Who will break the silence?
"Why don't we see what tickets they have available? That will choose for us." Ignis suggests.
"Okay." They all agree. That's fair.
They get closer and Prom is in awe the whole time. Never in her life did she think she would be here. But here she is. It's all so beautiful. The sky is so clear, the water is so blue but clear. It really is a resort.
When they got into the boardwalk Prompto jumps forward excited. They are above the water, how cool is that? "Imma go check the tickets," she tells them running forward. The three men stare a her retreating figure. How can she sit in a car for hours and have energy to run around like a child? "Oh sorry." she says moving around a tall man that stands out with his clothes, having bumped into him. His long auburn hair, fancy looking clothes, as if he were cosplaying. Prompto watches as this older man stares at her for a long while. She gives him a shy grin, not wanting to be rude but she felt uncomfortable with the situation, with being stared at. At least he's only staring at her face. "Excuse me." the blonde nods her head slightly as she slips past him, and for a second she saw his face change. Eyes wide with realization and shock. About what she doesn't know. Nor does she want to. She skips her way to the ticket counter.
The mysterious man watches her for a while before turn and coming face to face with another surprise. The prince of Lucis. "I'm afraid my friends, the ferry isn't going anywhere." The stranger tells the prince and retainers as he walks closer to them. Noct looks at him weirdly then turns to Ignis and Gladio. He gives the prince an evil smirk. "Maybe you can try tomorrow." he walks past them, continuing to walk. All three keep their eyes on his back.
Who was that? Why was he speaking as if he knew them? He felt dangerous. They should hurry.
