Heads.... or Tails....?

Oblivious Hints

The beauty outside of Insomnia's walls was breathtaking, and could almost beat the most beautiful maiden in the entire world. However, in Noct's opinion, his best friend could beat that maiden in terms of beauty, smarts, and hell.... everything.

He caught himself once again staring at the excited blonde as he glanced around the open field of trees, lakes, and unknowns. He reminded him of Umbra when he was just a pup. He smiled, resting his head on his hand. This was usually his go to move when on long car trips, and when he wasn't in the mood to nap. The plan for the day was to see how far they would be able to drive before dusk settled in and they would need to find a place to crash. Given with the most recent increase in battles, Prompto and Noctis begged Ignis for a night in a hotel instead of a rusty trailer or the hard rock underneath their tent. As much as they loved camping, they still wanted to keep some of their city habits. That being sleeping in a soft bed. Without much protest, Ignis agreed to keep his eyes out for a small town with a motel on their drive. 

The sun was just setting above the trees; the ungodly heat of the day slowly beginning to cool down and a more intimate breeze washed over the Regalia as Ignis picked up the pace in finding a town, so they would not once again, have to spend another night hearing the groans of nearby daemons or the prince and his sidekick's complaints.

Noctis, not really paying attention to his surroundings, was bored with waiting, and was trying to entertain himself. Not finding much pleasure in King's Knight, he ended up staring at his favorite blonde once again.  Sorry Luna.

With the blonde finally settling down and browsing through his recent photos, as well as snapping a few more, Noctis smiles as a sudden idea pops in his head to help cease his boredom.

He rummages through his pockets, hoping he still had some sort of Gil in there. To his luck, he pulls out a coin, smiling at it as he flips it and stores it for later.

He noticeably yawns, stretching in his seat and groaning loudly, catching the attention of his friends.

"We'll arrive shortly Noct. Can you please try to wait until then?" Ignis nearly sighs.

"s'not that" Noct grins, crossing his arms.

Prompto smirks, putting his camera down as he seems to be having more fun listening to the current conversation.

"Bored your highness?" Gladio huffs out, seeming annoyed before the prince is able to answer.

Noctis glares at Gladio as he smirks behind his book. 

He hates that nickname.

"Well we have been in the car most of the day." Prompto chimes in, backing his friend up from Gladio's harsh tone.

Noct looks over at Prompto, somewhat surprised at his input. Without thinking much of Noct's glance, Prompto smiles in return, giving him the secret 'i've got your back!' look.

Warmly smiling back at the blonde, he finds himself thinking of the many reasons as to why he was his favorite person. Zoning through the rest of the ride and only responding with grunts as the others tried to make sure he wasn't asleep, Noct patiently awaited for the right time in introducing his new game to his best buddy.

After parking the Regalia and stopping at the nearest Crow's Nest for dinner, the gang heads back to the motel where Ignis was able to secure rooms for them. Although they were unable to obtain the biggest room for all of them to share, much to Ignis's dislike in terms of expenses, they all were just happy to be alive and sleeping in soft beds for the night.

It was obvious that Noctis and Prompto would be sharing a room, so this made Noct's plan even easier as he would have no problem luring the blonde to a secluded room without a suspicious gaze from Gladio or Ignis.
