If it hasn’t been done already, can you have the chocobros comfort their S/O after they found out a loved one has passed?

theydonotbindus:

Hi, thanks for the ask! This was somewhat cathartic to write–my father has terminal cancer–so thank you very much for the timely request. 

Noctis is silent, but there, his presence like a security blanket for his S/O. Even if they insist they’ll be fine, he’ll be sitting on their couch waiting for the inevitable breakdown or five that day. He doesn’t tell them that it will get better, or that it happened for a reason, but that this wave will pass. 

Prompto collects photographs for the funeral, and also makes an album to reminiscence for when they’re ready. Cries with them, but makes sure they stay hydrated and will east fast food with them for a week if that helps too. Somehow makes them feel like it’s okay to sob in the grocery store. 

Gladio has a sixth sense for when his S/O gets too caught up in their sorrow, and he’ll call or text or show up just as the grief crests. If they need to get out of their home, they can crash with him. Gives a lot of long, firm hugs and will suggest memorial tattoo ideas if that’s their thing. 

Ignis takes on emotional labor–he’s snarling at people who say callous things, he’s sending thank-yous for flowers, he’s handling the legal side of it. Once he knows they have nothing but grief to worry about, he’ll sit and hold their hand. And his planning will screech to a halt if his S/O is having a horrible day.

“You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.”  –Marcus Cole, Babylon 5
