The Sole Star (Final Fantasy XV Fanfic)

Chapter XLIII

Lorelai examined herself in a mirror. Iris had pulled her hair up into a ponytail on the right side of her head. As soon as night had fallen, the two girls had hurried to their room, getting into their pajamas. They had decided to have their own little slumber party. And now that Lorelai's hair had been brushed and fixed up, it was Iris's turn. They both sat down on the bed, Lorelai behind Iris. The blue-flecked green-eyed girl began brushing through her friend's short, brown hair.

"So, Lori, you gonna share any details?" Iris suddenly asked.

"What details?" Lorelai replied.

"About you and Prompto, of course. I promise it'll be just between us."

Lorelai giggled. "Not much to say. He told me how he felt, I told him how I felt, now we're a thing."

Iris pouted. "There's gotta be more to it than that! Can't you be more specific?!"

Lorelai laughed at her. "Fine. He said that..." She paused her brushing, remembering his exact words. "That he gets lost whenever he looks into my eyes. That my smile brightens his day. And that I'm..." she smiled, realizing just how great it felt to hear his compliments. "The most beautiful girl he'd ever met."

"Awww!" Iris gushed. "That's so sweet! Did he kiss you?"

Lorelai nodded. "Yeah, he did."

The brunette squealed with delight. After brushing her hair and adding a couple of moogle hair clips, Lorelai stood and let Iris take a look in a mirror. Iris smiled at her reflection. She then immediately went back to pestering Lorelai.

"Anything else happen with you two?"

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Enough about me. What about you and Noctis?" A mischievous smirk crossed her lips.

Iris blushed. "T-There's nothing going on between me and Noct. Sure, I like him and all, but we're just friends. He's already got Lady Lunafreya." She sadly turned her gaze to the floor.

Lorelai's smirk faded and she patted Iris on the back. "I'm sorry, I was only teasing. There are plenty of fish in the sea. What's say we check out a few?"

She wiggled her eyebrows, causing Iris to look at her in confusion. She walked over to a dresser and opened a drawer, pulling out a magazine. It was one she had snuck from Gladio featuring lots of men's apparel... With handsome male models showing them off. Iris gasped slightly.

"But, Lori, you've got a boyfriend now. Should you really be looking at something like that?"

Lorelai waved a hand dismissively. "Relax, it's just for fun. It's not like I'm going to ditch Prompto to try and score one of these models. I'd never do something like that."

Iris gave in and the two laid across a bed on their stomachs, side by side, staring at the pictures in the magazine. They would flip through the pages, pointing out the hottest guys.

"Hey, any way we can listen to some music?" Lorelai asked.

"I think they have music channels on TV," Iris replied, standing up. "I'll check."

She turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. She found several music channels and stopped on one of them that had people dancing. The beat of the music made Lorelai instantly jump to her feet. With a grin, she began moving to the music and taking Iris's hands and forcing her to dance as well. The brunette erupted with laughter as her friend drug her along.

"Lori! You do this every time!"

Lorelai joined in her laughter. "Because it's so much fun! When I hear a cool beat I just want to move to the music!"
