72) Prompto (Part I)

~3rd Person POV~

"I cannot believe I let you talk me into this..." Ignis groaned. Prompto had begged him if he could drive the Regalia. He knew the blonde meant well, but his driving skills were not very sharp.

As Prompto drove, Ignis couldn't get comfortable. Gladio nor Noctis could say a word. They were scared out of their wits when Prompto was given permission to drive. Prompto turned around in his seat, but Ignis immediately made him turn back around. "Prom, slow down!" Noctis shouts. The blonde looks in front of him and sees a girl.

He immediately slams on breaks, but he was too late. "No no no no!" Prompto shouts desperately. He pulls the Regalia over and gets out to check on the girl.

~(Y/n)'s POV~

I fall to the ground in a heap with the baby Chocobos peeping loudly. I guess they were trying to see if I was okay. I was able to use my invisibility at the last second which saved my life. "Are you okay?!" The person who was driving the car hopped out and ran over to me. The baby Chocobos charged at him and began pecking at his shoes. "You all calm down," I told the Chocobos. They stopped messing with the blonde and ran back to my side.

"A-Are you hurt?" He asked, his eyes scanning my body. I shook my head and smiled to reassure him. "I thought I hit you..." He sighed in relief after learning I wasn't hurt. "Well, you kinda just passed through me," I spoke up. The boy looked at me with confusion written all over his face. Instead of explaining, I showed him. He gasped once he saw me go invisible.

"So cool~!" He cheers. One of the baby Chocobos hopped on my head and peeped. The boy's eyes lit up when he saw the Chocobo. "Woah, a baby Chocobo!" I assumed he was a huge fan of them at his reaction. I guess he didn't notice them earlier when they were pecking at his shoes. Maybe he was so worried for me that he didn't see them? The boy reached out and tried to pet the Chocobo on my head. It pecked at his finger and he pulled away.

"Sorry about them. I'm (Y/n)," I greet. "Prompto. Just call me Prom." A smile also accompanied his greeting. Three more people hopped out of the car. I assumed they were his friends. "Excuse our companion. He is not the best driver," a man with glasses said. I giggled and Prompto began to blush in embarrassment.

"We saw you get hit, how did-?" The one with raven colored hair asked in confusion. I told him and the others about my ability to make myself invisible. "Now that you mention it, we didn't feel anything when we made contact," the man with tattoos said. "I'm sorry for standing in the middle of the road. One of my baby Chocobos ran into the middle of the road and was being stubborn."

The Chocobo I was talking about peeped in annoyance. "Baby Chocobos?" The raven haired one asked. He looked around me and saw the group of baby Chocobos.

The one with raven hair kneels down next to the Chocobos with Prompto beside him. The man with the glasses apologized for their behavior and introduced everyone. I also told them my name to the other three. "I should probably get going," I said.

Prompto stood up in a flash and ran over to me. "So soon?" He sounded disappointed. Why? I've only known him for five minutes. "I've got to get home. My dad's probably flipping out right now." Prompto looked down sadly. It hurt my heart to see him so sullen. The baby Chocobos ran away from Noctis and over to me. "The least we could do for you is give you a ride," Ignis said before I could walk away.

"No, it's alright." I picked up the Chocobos one by one and let them rest in my hands. "Please! I hit you with a car!" Prompto shouts pleadingly. "Prom, you didn't hit me," I said. "B-But still!" I raise an eyebrow at Prompto which made him plead even more. I sigh in defeat and let the take me home. Prompto jumped with joy at my answer. He helped me into the car with all the baby Chocobos.

I gave Ignis directions to my house. Once he heard the name, he knew exactly where to go. I'm assuming they must've been to my father's ranch. We arrived fifteen minutes later and I hopped out of the car with the Chocobos. They all ran over to the barn to see their mother. Suddenly my blue Chocobo came running out of the barn. He ran over to me and nuzzles his head against my cheek.

"Hey, buddy." I run a hand through his soft feathers which made him chirp happily. When I glanced over at Prompto, he was amazed by my Chocobo. "Prom, meet Cyril. He's been with me ever since I was born." Prompto came over and petted Cyril. His smile grew even more. Cyril began tugging on Prompto's hair. "Ow!" Prompto shouts in pain. I pull Cyril away from Prompto so he wouldn't chew on his hair.

"Sorry about that. Your hair must remind him of a Chocobo's feathers. He's only ever done that to other Chocobos."

"Don't worry about it. It's not the first time it's happened."

I couldn't help but laugh. Prompto face was suddenly turning red for some strange reason. "Prom, are you feeling okay?" I ask out of concern for him. He nods his head and looks away. "I-I'm fine!" I could tell by his tone he was lying. "Why is your face so red?" I moved in front of him to see his face. "I-IfI tell you, you'll be creeped out."

I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Try me." I crossed my arms and stood my ground. I wasn't going to leave him alone until he told me. He sighed in defeat. "Your laugh..." He started. I gestured for him to continue which resulted in him looking away again. "Is so cute..." Now it was my turn to blush.

I hid my face in Cyril's blue feathers. "(Y/n)?" Prompto called my name softly. I peaked through Cyril's feather and looked at the blonde. "D-Did I creep you out?" He asked. I shook my head quickly. "N-No. That's the first compliment I've ever gotten," I admit. Prompto stared at me in shock. Did I say something strange? "Wait, you've never gotten a compliment before?" He asked. I shook my head.

"What?! How?! You're so beautiful!" Now it was my turn to be in shock. Prompto's expression changed dramatically. He must've realized what he had just said. He began to freak out and run his hands through his hair. He looked like he was about to burst. I grabbed his hands to calm him down. "Thank you, Prom. You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that."

Suddenly my dad stormed outside. "(Y/n), I was so worried!" He shouts as he runs over. Since he was fifty, he was out of breath as soon as he reached my side. "Sorry I'm so late. The babies were being a little stubborn." He chuckled deeply and hugged me.

After our warm hug, my father noticed Prompto. "Who's this?" He asked with a hint of protection in his voice. "This is Prompto. Without him and his friends, I wouldn't have made it home so quick." My father's expression softened as he thanked Prompto. "I'm going to head back inside. Take your time, sweetheart." He kissed me on the forehead and went back inside the house. Cyril chirped and went back into the barn for the night.

"It was nice meeting you, Prom. I hope you'll come and see me soon." Prompto smiled at me brightly. "Can I visit anytime?" He asked. I giggled and kissed him on the cheek. "Of course. Be safe, Prom." He blushed and his smile grew even bigger. "I'll see you soon, (Y/n)."
