[ Noctis might have had one too many of those pink drinks at the stalls earlier, thinking it was some kind of fruit juice. Okay, he figured out after a few sips that it was alcoholic, but screw it, Ignis isn't here to nag him not to drink. No one is, in fact, a sore point he's trying hard to forget because it's hard to get into the holiday spirit when he realizes he'll never spend another with his dad. He isn't even sure when he'll see Ignis, Gladio, or even Luna again. Everyone from back home seems so distant at the moment, too far out of his reach, and he knows Prompto is doing his best to keep things light and cheery for the both of them.
It's just hard not to let his mind wander as he looks up at the night sky, waiting for the fireworks to start. His eyes are hazy and wet, and he feels his head spinning around as the alcohol starts to kick in full force, but he's doing his best not to really move around a lot, just soak in the elation as he watches the starts twinkle so bright, thinks of better memories.
Earlier. Trying to out-eat each other at one of the food stands. Making faces at the picture booth. Snow ball fights in the park nearby. It's something he wishes the others could share in, but at the same time, he hasn't gotten much quality time with his best friend since they left Insomnia, not since that talk on the hotel roof top. It's kind of nice getting to spend time together like they used to when they were teens. ]
Yeah, better than I thought.
[ The words are managed without any slur even while Noctis' vision fuzzes at the edges, and his head feels ever so heavy as it lolls to one side. ]
H.
