[ "A cute boyfriend" would have made him laugh! Though what he was really hoping for is a materialistic answer. "A cute hat" is easier to gift wrap!

Back to the drawing board for him, in any case. Unless... ]

Why not make it a road trip? Y'know, Iiiii can drive a car. [ Why is that so impressive?! ] Full disclosure - I only drove it into a pole once, but that's 'cause I was trying to turn up the music on the radio.


T'was the chocobo song...

[cakemyheart]

[ Hey, it's impressive enough to Ann, who... can't. Actually, she thinks Makoto is the only one with a license, but still, impressive!!

... A little concerning with the mention of a pole-crash, but maybe he just needs a second pair of eyes. ]

Are you sure? I mean, that's sweet of you, but that's kind of asking you to go waaaaay out of your way.

[chromogenic]

Nahhh, no way!

[ Yes way, it's absolutely crazy of him to offer, and she'd be even crazier to take him up on it, but he finds himself wanting to do it for her anyway. It's his way of trying to feel like he's worth something, so there might be some deep-seated selfish motivations here, too. More than that, he can just relate to her story about wanting to be there for your best friends. ]

I, uh... heh-- I-I like hanging out with you anyway...

[ Suddenly, he feels a little more aware about their intimate method of holding hands. He swallows and presses on. ]

--and your friend needs you, too, right?! Imagine how fun it would be so see each other again! I know I'd be happy if you, uh... [ he just trails off there, singing along to the song ] thiiis time I'll, lalalaaa~

[cakemyheart]

[ she can't help the little grin that tugs at the corners of her mouth. For a photographer, and she's known a lot of them, Prompto sure is awkward, a lot less sure of himself than most but also a lot more willing to get to know her.

It's sweet. ]

... I'll get back to you on that. But I think probably... it wouldn't hurt, doing that with you.

[ After Makoto probably grills him thoroughly. ]

[chromogenic]

I-It won't, I promise! I won't even touch the radio. You can touch it. T-The radio, I mean!!

[ Even in non-gagtag form, this sounds weird. ]

I'll... keep you safe on the road. Like a... a really cool knight. Orrr average knight! Y'know, 'cause this knight is modest and chivalrous. Yeah!

[cakemyheart]

Then tell you what. Keep me upright on the ice and I'll take you up on it.

[ NO PRESSURE.

... Because really, she'll probably go along with it anyway. ]

[chromogenic]

Whoa, seriously?! Piece of cake!

[ He lets go of her hand and slows down his skating until he's behind her, then he firmly holds on to her shoulders with both hands. That oughta keep her upright! ]

... Um. How long should this go for?

[ Also, he just realizes that he can't see her face like this, and to others it may look like they're trying to start a conga line. ]

[cakemyheart]

[ Ann laughs, wobbling from-- the force of amusement, apparently. Good thing Prompto's here for the literal clutch. ]

You kind of act before you think, huh?

[chromogenic]

[ He laughs as well, still trying to keep her steady. ]

Eheh... if I think too much, then I talk myself out of it. Sometimes it's best to just go with the flow!

[cakemyheart]

Now you sound a lot like one of my friends.

... He usually regrets it, though.

[ sorry, Ryuji. ]

[chromogenic]

Heyyy! I am one of your friends!

[ He jokes, knowing full-well what she really means to say. But he does spin her around to face him again, although the move is rather sudden and completely not telegraphed-- ]

[cakemyheart]

Come to think of it, he's blond too!

[ But she's still laughing as he spins her around, even if once again, she wobbles. Prompto, for someone determined to keep her upright, you sure like knocking her off-balance. ]

[chromogenic]

Now he just sounds like a rival! Or... a really cool dude. P-Probably both.

[ Cooler than Prompto, he thinks! Though, to be fair, Prompto thinks everyone is cooler than him, even this supposed clone. ]
