This can be implied romantic, but also platonic! I just love Chocobro friendships.
Noctis Lucis Caelum:
If you watched Brotherhood, you’d know right away that Noctis is a pretty horrible roommate.
He’s messy, lazy, and not organized in any way.
However, Ignis does drop by pretty regularly and cleans up after Noctis before you can murder the prince in his sleep for never doing his side of the chores.
It’s mostly his side of the apartment that’s trashed anyway. He’ll do it reluctantly, but he always makes sure that none of his mess gets over to your room, or your side of the couch, etc.
Other than the fact that he’s a slob, Noctis is extremely chill and kind.
On the other hand, if you happen to be that roommate with some not-so-great living habits, Noctis will rarely get angry or yell at you for it.
He’s pretty quiet most of the time, will give you alone time if you need it, and he’ll never take your things without asking. He’s slow to do chores, but if you get aggressive enough he’ll run off to do it.
Prompto, Ignis, and Gladio come over often enough for you to be this close to asking them pay rent too.
If you’re running low on money for the month and you’re having issues paying rent, he’ll just say, “Oh, it’s cool, I’ll just pay for the both of us.”
He refuses to take your money when you try to pay him back. But he does take payment in the form of your arcade credits from time to time.
The only awkward thing is that the King, Regis, comes over unannounced sometimes and you’re just standing in front of him in your pajamas about 99% of the time.
The type of roommate that doesn’t know how to take care of themselves and makes you think: dude how did you manage to live twenty years.
Ignis must be really fighting natural selection.
Prompto Argentum:
The type of roommate that really wants to be your friend. If you guys didn’t know each other prior to becoming roommates, he’ll make an effort to talk to you or hang out with you.
Whenever his friends are over, he definitely makes sure that they’ll say hi to you so you don’t feel left out.
He’s a pretty good roommate. Since he lived alone for the most part for a majority of his life, he’s pretty good at maintenance, cleaning, and cooking.
Not the greatest cook, but gets the job done.
He does get a bit chatty and clingy sometimes, so it’s a bit awkward if you’re a quiet person. But he’ll grow on you.
He won’t exactly get angry at you if you have bad habits, but he will sit you down and talk to you to solve the problem.
Noctis comes over often enough for you to think that him and Prompto are dating.
He’s a budding photographer and sometimes you just find random pictures of you doing mundane things.
Sometimes it’s not even pictures of you; you would find random developed pictures of like combs, hairspray, and bathroom cleaner all around your shared place.
Would bring home strays that he found on the street.
He always has music on, and is a shower singer.
He buys random chocobo themed knickknacks and memorabilia and decorates the apartment with it until the place is about two-thirds yellow.
Marathons The Office, Parks and Rec, and Disney more often than not.
Gladiolus Amicitia:
The athletic roomie.
He’s gone early in the morning and late at night to go get a jog in or hit the gym.
He’s also not home very often due to his job and other duties as Shield, but even when he is home you barely notice.
He’s quiet for the most part, and would spend his free time reading, so you barely know that he’s there.
He’s not too tidy, and not too neat. He is a bachelor.
Sometimes he leaves his training gear and weapons all around the apartment, so if you don’t see them, they’re an absolute bitch when you run your pinky toe against them.
Calls cup noodles a home cooked meal, and you’re worried that he’s going to die from all those artificial noodles one day.
If it’s raining, or if it’s too much trouble to go outside and hit the gym, he’ll just go to you for help.
“Hey, are you doing anything right now?” “No, not really. Why?” “Can you sit on my back when I do pushups?”
You end up doing it anyway and just continue your task while on his back.
Iris comes over to visit often and is pretty cool to hang out with. She asks you for embarrassing stories that you have of Gladio and she’ll give you the same.
He does all the heavy-lifting in your apartment, so he’s the one helping you redecorate and helped you move in.
When it’s spring, it’s allergy season for Gladio, and while you know that he can’t control it he’s practically sneezing ever other second. You either have allergy medication on hand, tissues, or headphones.
If he’s angry at you, you’ll know right away because he’s either passive-aggressive or aggressive-aggressive.
Ignis Scientia:
The neat freak, the gourmet, the mom friend, the valedictorian. He’s all of these roommate stereotypes.
He’s used to taking care of other people, so sometime’s he’ll just clean up your messes, cook for you, etc. Which is both good and bad, since it can get very pushy and overbearing sometimes.
If you’re messy or have bad habits, Ignis won’t confront you about it and would just clean it up himself.
The two of you wouldn’t really talk at first, since you both have conflicting schedules, and he treats it as just the situation you two live in, and not an obligation to become friends, but it’s hard not to warm up to someone like him.
Once you do become friends though, he’s someone you talk to often when you have issues, and he’ll rant about Noctis.
You think he’s a pretty chill guy and keeps out of people’s business, but he is like a gossiping mom.
Knows all of the dirt about the neighbors in your apartment complex.
You can’t talk to him or look him in the eye unless he has had his first cup of coffee.
He just has so many tasks to do: taking care of Noctis, working at the Citadel, being Royal Adviser, you’re half like: This is the most perfect man alive, and half: He’s going to drop dead from overexertion one day.
You try your best to keep out of his way so that he doesn’t have more to worry about, and keep the apartment tidy.
He is such a mom friend, and you know he’s had a good day when he knocks on your door and just checks up on you if you’re alright, or to ask about your day.
If you’re visibly stressed, or struggling to pay rent, he’ll give you solid advice, and while he won’t actively do your work for you, he’s so supportive that it feels like it.
When he cooks or bakes for Noctis, he’ll make sure to bake another serving for you too.
