The Apartment Above the Photo Hut - Sunday Morning

[flamesburned]

It was Prompto’s first father’s day and Liz wanted to make sure that it was a special occasion and so she had gotten up early to start making breakfast for him. Noctra was still asleep but it wouldn’t be long before she would wake up for her feed so she wanted to try and get as much of a head start on breakfast as she could. In the meantime she had also fed Rain so Rain was happily by her food bowl eating while Liz started cooking.

She had decided to go with making bacon and eggs and pancakes, so she was trying to be careful about not making too much noise since Prompto and Noctra were still asleep.


[for the husband! And up early for timezones and all the sp!]

Liz giggled at that, “well when you put it like that…” she grinned, “if you really wanted to … I’m sure we could spend the day making sure you get your fill of wanton mischief, mayhem and crimes,”

"Starting with..." Prompto said, trailing it off for dramatic effect before smacking his lips against Liz's cheeks, "stealing a kiss. Ha-ha! And then..."

He reached over to (carefully, quickly) pluck a piece of bacon up. "Stealing this."

He shook his hand a little because, well, that was hot, but then he popped the bacon into his mouth. "There's no stopping me now!"

Liz giggled, her cheeks going slightly red as she did, "well that's two things," she smiled happily up at him, "and you've also got the whole day," she added.

"I better slow down a bit," Prompto said, stealing maybe one more piece of bacon before pulling away and turning toward Liz, leaning against the kitchen counter to grin over at her shamelessly. "Don't want to to come out the gate so hard I wear myself down even before noon. I have to make sure to spread out my father-related misdeeds, make sure to pace myself."

"Well how about we make sure you have plenty of energy for all these misdeeds you're planning with breakfast," Liz returned the grin as she got a plate out so that she could begin serving out the food, "and I can order us coffee as well for extra energy," she added.

"To help fuel my one-man crime wave," Prompto said with a nod. "Smart! And after breakfast, maybe I should take Noctra out for a kidnapping walk, and then me and Rain can get together to plot out a cat burglary for later."

"Noctra and Rain would love that," Liz said as she filled up the plate with food, "and will there be photos of these or are we making sure there's no evidence of these crimes," she smiled up at him.

"That's a good question," Prompto admitted, rubbing his chin s little thoughtfully. "On the one hand, no incriminating evidence is a good idea, but on the other hand, if what you say is true, it's not incriminating if it's not criminal, because of the whole Father's Day thing. So what do you think? You know much more about how this thing works than I do."

Even if Father's Day was a thing where he was from, it would have been a very awkward affair for him overall, really, well before he even knew about the whole clone thing.

Liz tilted her head thoughtfully, "well ... if there's no actual evidence of the crime in the photo, I think that would be okay ... like maybe if there's say just adorable photos of Noctra and Rain," she considered.

"...we do have a criminal lack of adorable pictures of Noctra and Rain," Prompto agreed, with a very grave and very serious nod.

[flamesburned]

Liz tried to keep her expression serious as well but she couldn’t help but giggle, “that is very true, we should definitely take more photos of them,” she nodded.

The attempt to keep a straight face was a truly valiant effort, and Prompto couldn't help grinning fondly at Liz when those efforts utterly failed. And, in that moment, he just sort of let himself just sort of appreciate what was going on right now and sort of marvel at the surreal nature of it all. His wife, making him breakfast in their cozy little apartment and making jokes with him about Father's Day, which they were celebrating because he was a father, and how last year, if you'd have told him any of this was even possible, he'd have thought you were crazy...

Which meant that, as the moment caught up with him, he just sort of stepped back in to wrap his arms around Liz again in a hug, the plates in her hand be damned. Then a kiss on her forehead.

"Thanks for this."

[flamesburned]

It took a bit of balancing but Liz managed to put the plates down on the bench as Prompto wrapped his arms around her and she gladly returned the hug, leaning in close to him and smiling as he kissed her forehead.

"You're very welcome," she smiled up at him, taking a moment to enjoy just how nice this moment was and then she leaned in to give him a kiss.

Prompto had sort of meant this as just a quick hug, especially since there was food to be had, but since Liz managed to get the plates down, he was just going to linger in it a little longer, tightening the embrace and just sort of sighing a little into Liz's hair.

"I'm just so lucky to have you guys, you know?" he said, and then pulled back enough to give her a smile. "Sorry to get all serious about it, but it just kind of hit me, you know?"

[flamesburned]

Liz returned that tight embrace for as long as she could, she nodded in understanding as she smiled up at him, "I know the feeling," she said, "I'm very lucky to have you both as well,"

[hashtag_chocobro]

"I mean," said Prompto, with another light, faint, appreciative grin, "I wouldn't really be in the position to be celebrating Father's Day without you guys, right? So it's kind of your guys' day, too. And, I guess, if anything, we kind of have the island and its weird time thing to thank, too, or else I probably wouldn't be able to be much of a father at all..."
