I need some good old fashioned feels and cuteness. How do you think the Chocobros would deal with their S/O getting an (semi serious) injury or hurt after a tense battle? (Maybe they got their ass kicked during the battle with Titan, Deadeye, Bandersnatch, Bennu, or Mictlantecihuatl) I loved FFXV’s boss battles :)

SCREAMS sorry this ended up being more angsty than cute. no matter how i tried i just couldn’t write these in a cute fluff way cuz i think their s/o getting seriously hurt after a tense battle would really rattle them. i hate but also love angst. i tried making each boy different even though i think they’d all be pretty similar. also i feel like i don’t write Gladio well at all… i struggle most with him.

• Noctis
• The moment you got hurt Noctis would freeze up. He wouldn’t believe it was real. It was a dream, right? You were fine, right? One of the other bros rushing to you yelling your name would snap him out of it. He would rush to your side panicking, not really processing what he should be doing. Once you’re stabilized, he just kind of shuts down. He sits by your side while you rest and doesn’t say a word with a blank stare. He might hold your hand but he just sits there frozen. It really hits him that he almost lost you and he doesn’t know how to handle that. The thought of losing you really shut him down and it’s causing him more anxiety than he knows how to handle. When you wake up and see the horrified look on his face, he mutters an apology to you. He blames himself. He should have protected you. He should know by now to protect what is precious to him fiercely. Even after you recover and comfort and reassure him, it still sits with him for a while. He keeps a closer eye on you in battle and holds you a little tighter at night. He won’t let it happen again. You won’t be the next thing he loses.
• Prompto
• When he sees you fall in battle, he shrieks your name and everything is in slow motion for a minute. He wants to run to you as fast as he can but his legs feel like lead. He pushes on anyway and sprints to you as fast as he can with tears starting to well up in his eyes but he tries to hold them back. Once he reaches you, he quickly checks over you and looks for your injuries as he’s starting to hiccup and his hands are shaking violently. Someone else quickly rushes over and takes over what he was attempting to do. He just sits there horrified, crying in his hands and apologizing to you. After you’re stabilized, he curls up next to you and cries some more. He can’t stop apologizing. He was supposed to keep you safe. And he failed. He almost lost you because he wasn’t protecting you like he should have been. Depending how long you’re out, he’d probably cry himself to sleep. Once you wake, he cradles you in his arms and kisses the top of your head. He tells you that he loves you and he’s sorry this happened. He doesn’t leave your side as you recover and cares for you the best he can. He doesn’t ever want to have to go through again. He cannot bare to lose you. You’re his everything.
• Gladio
• If anything, Gladio’s on top of things. He’s attentive and probably foresaw you getting hurt in this battle and tried to prevent it but something unexpected got in his way and he didn’t reach you in time. Because of this, he really blames himself for your injuries. If the battle is still going on when he gets to you, he’ll scoop you up and carry you somewhere safe and quickly heal you with a hi-potion or elixir before returning to the battle and finishing it up so you’re not in anymore danger. After, he’ll return to you and thoroughly check you more for injuries and treat you more appropriately. While Ignis is usually the medic, Gladio is surprisingly efficient with first aid and quickly takes care of you. After you’re resting comfortably, he’ll sit by your side with his book and tend to you as you need it. He’ll clean your wounds, change your bandages, whatever you need. When you wake, he’ll crack a smile at you and say “heh, welcome back sleeping beauty”. He doesn’t want you to know he was really worried and stressing but oh boy he was. That was too close for comfort. He holds you a little tighter that night and doesn’t let you go.
• Ignis
• Ignis is nothing but efficient. As soon as you go down, he’s practically at your side administering first aid. Ignis doesn’t panic over your injuries. Not because he’s not worried or he doesn’t care, but because he won’t let himself. He cannot falter or crack right now. You need him rational to provide the best care for your injuries. Inside he’s really falling apart and wants to cry over his beloved getting injured on his watch but he keeps it pushed way down for now. Later, he thinks. Once they’re alright. After you’re resting comfortably and stable, Ignis will take a seat at your bedside and drop his head into his hands. This is when it really hits him. You could have died out there today. Astrals, he cannot even bare the thought of that. A few tears probably form in his eyes as he takes a moment to process what happened. After a bit he pulls himself together in fear anyone would see him. He’s supposed to be the strong one. The rock of the group. He doesn’t like being vulnerable like this but you bring out this quality in him. He dutifully attends to your care and is the most excellent nurse. Once you wake, he squeezes your hand and tells you that he’s glad you’re alright. He made you something to eat and before he goes to get it, he’ll plant a gentle kiss on your forehead. As he’s leaving, he makes another mental note to keep a closer eye on you in battle. This won’t happen again. He’ll make sure of it.
