"Issa....." her name escapes his mouth, his breathing ragged. He looks up at her, shes smiling and she runs her hand across his cheek, her thumb stopping at his lower lip.
He parts his lips and time seems to stand still."You sly dog...." a voice.
They both look the direction the voice came from, they gasp.
Gladio walks up with camping equipment over head, "I can't leave you two alone for two minutes, can I?"
"Eeep!" Issa crawls off Prompto and stands immediately. Straightening her skirt, she is clearly embarrassed.
"We were uh...just about to go for a hike." Prompto sits up explaining himself. He rolls over to a stance.
He had no idea what Issa what going to do. He wanted to kiss her so badly...."Oh? Just a hike? You better be careful Prompto, I've adopted her as my sister." Gladio responds.
"Ahhh....uhhh....I...I...." Prompto stutters..
Gladio--"Aww man I'm just messing with you, I just wanted to let you know that Ignis and I are going to go foraging for mushrooms. He's come up with a new recipe and I need to try it."
Issa and Prompto relax now letting out a deep sigh.
Gladio laughs ---" see you two later. "
He heads back over by the truck by camp. Ignis is seated on the passenger side waiting. Throwing the stuff in the back, Gladio waves goodbye still laughing to himself.
Issa and Prompto stand around awkwardly...
"I'm sorry Prompto. "
Issa worries that she is getting too fresh with him, she plays with the very end of her long braid."Don't worry about it." He laughs awkwardly, "Anyway I have something to show you."
Prompto thinks to himself: I'm gonna do this right, gotta wait for the right moment.
He takes her hand leading her to the road past camp.
They walk together until they reach the chocobo ranch. The atmosphere is so different there. Prompto loves chocobos so much he would own a hundred if he could.
The two walk up to one of the stalls. A chocobo leans its head over top the gate, Prompto lifts a hand to pet it.
Issa watches as his eyes light up. The beast rests its beak on his hand. He takes a deep breath in before screeching,
"Ahhhh!!! I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!"He can't contain himself. He rubs his face on the side of its feathery head with a huge smile.
Issa---"Mmmm...Prompto? You know I don't like riding those things, I mean don't get me wrong they are super cute..."
He smirks, "were not here to ride them." He takes hold of her hand and starts walking toward the trail.
She follows slightly behind him, glancing between their hand holding and seeing his excitement.
They walk together down a pathway to a clearing. "We're here for target practice. "
"Oooh, are you gonna show me your skills?" She asks in wonder.
"Actually I thought this could be an official date." Prompto says smoothly.
He hands her his gun, she looks down at it, turning it over to examine all its features. Oooo shiny she thinks.
He stands beside her, carefully lifting her hands to aim. He taps each of her heels with his boot to move her to a better stance in case of kick back.
Closer to her ear he whispers softly, "This is the trigger, you just gotta aim, pull back the hammer and..bang...bang..."
The tone of his voice velvety smooth as chocolate.
She swoons dropping the gun in the process. He leans in catching her,
"Woah are you okay?"She regains focus,"I am okay, lets keep at this. I want to learn." She tries to blow off the feeling she just had. Too much excitement....
She looks along the fence in front of them, lined up are glass bottles.
She lifts her arms and adjusts her stance like he showed. Looking down the barrel of the gun, she points and shoots.
*Shards of glass explode, scattering all over the grass*
"Hey I did it!" She jumps up and down excitedly.
"Wow is there anything you can't do? I'm impressed!" Prompto exclaims.
"Prompto take a picture." She poses with his gun.
"Haha, okay." He says smiling pulling the camera out of his back pocket.
*click* *click*
He leans in for a selfie of both of them together. *click*
"Ah! This is gonna be a good one!"****
After a successful date with Issa the two meet back up with Ignis and Gladio in Lestallum.They all sit together at a table eating dinner. Issa finishes quickly, doesn't want to hear anymore embarrassing stuff from Gladio.
"I'm going to head to bed guys." She stands up to head to the hotel.
"Let me take you to your room." Prompto turns to the guys before following her, "I'll be back guys."
Ignis nods, "good night Issa. Sweet dreams.
Gladio-- "good night, let me know if he gets out of hand."She laughs, Prompto takes her hand and they walk.
"Thank you for the eventful day. I really enjoyed spending it with you. You are a good teacher. " she smiles fiddling her hair.
Prompto stops in front of the hotel for a moment letting go of her hand. "Ummmm...."
"What is it ?" Issa questions.
She wonders if she did something wrong."I....don't know how to say this. Issa we've known each other a long time and..." he pauses...afraid to speak his mind.
"You can tell me anything, I'm here now." She says.He looks down and makes a fist with his hand. "I was devastated when I thought I lost you... I couldn't imagine a life without you there. It was a miracle that you were alive and for ten years we all watched over you. I've waited for so long to say this...."
Issa gently wraps his fist with both her hands, at first he is tense but her touch relaxes him.
He looks up at her, placing his other hand over hers. Ready to admit the truth.
"I-I'm in love with you, it didn't take long to realise that. From the very first time I saw you.. I knew you saw right into me."
She let's go of his hands and wraps her arms behind his neck,
"Oh Prompto...I love you too and at this moment I am most happy.. "Her eyes fill with tears and she smiles brightly.
He leans in kissing her deeply. He wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close to himself. The intensity building Issa steps backward pulling him with her until the wall stops them. Pulling on his jacket she feels his body pressing against hers, kissing him with abandon.
Prompto pulls away just enough to speak, "I am too."
He pulls himself away. Restraining the intensity he just felt between them.
"Let's get you to your room." He says, and they head in the lobby.He walks her upstairs to her room and gives her a tender kiss before leaving, "Good night, my princess."
Issa closes the door behind her leaning against it she slides to the floor catching her breath, she smiles tracing her lips with her fingers.
" My Princess..." she repeats his words.
