The chocobros are known to be fans of Kings Knight. But back in Insomnia, they’re very much devoted to video games and card games as much as pocket ones.
While in Insomnia
Noct and the gang would always hang around his room and play video games. They bought one console for all of them and they have different accounts.
They have a schedule of who plays when, too. In this, Noctis is very organized, much to Ignis’ dismay.
On video game days or nights, Ignis will always cook the food.
But when the mood to cook is overpowered by his desire to kill THAT boss, he would be glued to the screen and controller to which Prompto goes to the rescue and orders two or sometimes three boxes of pizza. He’d even buy chips for Noct’s sake.
Gladio will order dimsum or noodles.
Noct of course, would order hamburgers and fries.
It is also during this VERY RARE time that Ignis doesn’t count deliveries as junk food. He merely gobbles it all down as his fingers never miss a single tap on that controller. When he finally finishes THAT boss, every body goes bananas. Needless to say, the room was a complete mess.
When ordering food while staying at the Citadel, they always ask the Kingsglaive, usually Nyx or Pelna, to receive their food for them because if they’re caught out and about during curfew, Cor would be scarier than the final boss.
They always make sure to order extra for the hardworking Kingsglaive crew as thanks. Nyx lets the kids be kids and sometimes he’ll join in the with shenanigans.
They better watch out though, because Nyx is hands down a bad ass in video games. Ask Libertus. He knows it all too well.
If they are staying in Noct’s apartment at night, they’d go to the store themselves and buy the food…all except without Noctis, much to his dismay. He never gets as much fun as they have as he’s not allowed to be out by 8pm.
But they once sneaked him out one night. It was one of the best nights for Noctis. He finally got his midnight carbuncle gacha from the convenience store.
Veritas once went to Noctis’ apartment in assignment during their game night. They thought she’d be very strict but what surprised them was how eager she was about the games.
Over time, she was as rowdy as they are and would often volunteer to buy the chips during game night.
No liquor though. Grandma V says it’s an unlucky liquid. She’s seen so many funny and not so pleasant scenes when it comes to drunkenness, so nope.
No one ever says no to her macaroni and cheese, though. It’s the best damn thing paired with either soda or hot coffee. Even Ignis approves.
If they play against one another, Noctis would be very much in his competitive mode. Gladio commented on just how he could have used it during training. V agrees.
V sometimes wins, but the bros know a lot of cheat tricks and she would often fall prey to this. She doesn’t mind, as long as she kicks their ass during training.
She does beat Noctis in combat games though. Noct regretted his decision of teaching her how to use that super on an opponent. Lesson learned.
Arcade
At the arcade, the bros are pretty much down for anything.
They try their best to keep quiet as they play virtual reality games wherein they try and fight hordes of nonhuman enemies. Gladio doesn’t say it but he hates those kinds of games.
Ignis is pretty much quiet the whole time, not because he’s serious, but he’s just as scared as Gladio. Shh no one knows if he just keeps a straight poker face.
Prompto would be the most competitive among the bros when it comes to the dancing console. Iggy says no.
Nobody’s seen Iggy dance except his spatula. (See my headcanon for The Bros Listening to Music, link below)
Noct is super awkward, but as long as the guys are with him and being silly, he’s fine. As long as no one else is there at the arcade.
As for arcade games that don’t involve graphics like basketball or air hockey, everyone’s down for a round.
Gladio is really good at basketball, to which Prompto resentfully chocks up to the fact that the guy’s too damn tall to be allowed to play basketball with them.
Noct is an expert at air hockey. As Prompto used to say, he’s got grace, he’s got poise…until sunshine kid himself beats the sleepy prince.
Iris once went out with them because she wanted to get those limited edition Moogles from the Claw machine.
Gladio tried his best to get one for his sister and despite so many tries, they never did.
Iggy goes to the rescue, only for the guys and Iris to see a side of the royal advisor that they’ve never seen before – the usually composed man would curse to no end and will rant all day about the unfairness of such a contraption.
V doesn’t join them as much since she has to go with Cor for their usual rounds around Insomnia.
But one time she caught the bros playing and she pulled the marshal over for a watch. The older man tried his best not to get involved, but his instructions rang each time the bros would miss a shot.
Cor’s surprisingly good at games that involve shooting. Too good for Prompto’s comfort. V would intervene, pulling the marshal away to continue their rounds. Come on, Cor, let go of that rifle now.
Sunshine kid breathes a sigh of relief. He’ll have to remember to avoid Cor’s gun training at all costs.
On the Road
While out on the road, the bros would always try to play their favorite card game.
Ignis is the master of card games. Period.
Gladio becomes really competitive with this game and would often taunt the others in order to mislead them. Not Iggy though. The man’s a genius at this.
It’s almost always down to Noct and Prompto, the two competing against one another. The loser gets to tidy up before leaving the place of rest. Nobody wants to clean up a guys’ room after a stay, really. Iggy does his best to win every damn time.
During Kings Knight game night, the bros would try their best to stay up all night just to finish their quests.
Prompto is the last to sleep and therefore, the sole owner of the best damn equipment in the game. No, Ignis is not jealous.
They invited V to play the game with them, only for her to say there’s not much memory left on her phone to install it.
Prompto takes over to help her free up some space, only to find her phone filled with photos of Ravus and her. There was a video of Ravus playing the piano, only to laugh the moment he caught V trying to take a video of him. The sight of him smiling, despite being an old video, was a bit too awkward for Sunshine Kid to handle. Whoops.
Truth or dare is something the guys try to avoid. There have been…too many mishaps that they dare not remember.
Darts is Noct’s domain. He’s been practicing for years now. King Regis taught him how to play it and he’s unstoppable…for now, at least.
This is another long headcanon, haha! I can’t seem to write without divulging too much. I hope you enjoyed reading them. I’ll be posting some more soon! X
