birthday # 1 of 10 missed on eos...
♥ Who: Noctis, Pyra, and… you?
♥ Where: Noctis, Pyra, & Prompto's house
♥ When: August 30
♥ What: A birthday shindig!
♥ Rating: I assume PGish
As someone not especially inclined to throwing big parties for himself, Noctis would have been satisfied by just a chill hang-out with his family at most. Pyra seems to have other ideas about what counts as an appropriate level of celebration, so he's more or less given her free reign to plan out the evening dinner and get-together. The result is very… Pyra.
An invitation to join them would have been sent out or given via conversation to:
-Noctis' friends and family, of course
-anyone in Noctis' communicator contacts
-friends of friends
-....people Pyra just felt like inviting
Really, it's a good thing that the house is quite large, because it's more or less a free for all.
The Decor
Not too fancy, as the house has a mostly-muted decorative style, but there are splashes of colour scattered about. Sylleblossoms in blue, red, and white pepper the house in vases, streamers along the doorway, even some balloons out front. It's meant to be colourful and fun without being too much work, which is Noct's ideal gathering.
The Food
The general theme of the party's cuisine was for the most part "healthy, but sweet". Catered by Affurgato, so of course it's all fresh and delicious! There is lots of meat (adamantoise/turtle and fried tuna slabs especially, among options from the cafe) and lots of dessert snacks and finger food. There's even homemade pocky sticks, of various flavours. Vegetables are available, but mostly in separate dishes or things like fresh fries/mashed potatoes with loads of butter. What kind of monster would make the birthday boy eat vegetables!? (you are welcome to try) Any standard replicator drinks can be provided, and there's also some wine for the adults.
There is also a handmade cake not from the cafe, but from Pyra, with the motif of a carbuncle on the top.
The Atmosphere
1) Dress code is comfy/casual! Dress however you please.
2) People are welcome to bring pets with them. In fact, people are encouraged to bring pets, on the condition that Noctis gets to see and/or pet them!! (please shower him in cute things.) There's space in the yard for them to romp around if they need more room than the house can offer, provided they don't trample the garden.
3) In the main area there's a music playlist playing video game tunes from Noct's home, via his Eos smartphone.
4) As party games, people are encouraged to play Pin The Cat Ears on Noctis! ...You would think this would come with a cutout of him, but since paper is hard to come by in town, you should instead just literally put cat ears on Noctis. Bonus points if you can keep them on him long enough for selfie proof. Another option is to do your very best Noctis impression. What do you get for "winning"? Well, that's up to Pyra. Maybe you'll win some laughter, at least…
Special note! At some point during the party, Noctis will be mentioning that surprise! This little celebration is also meant to be shared with Pyra, as they totally missed her birthday. So wish her a happy belated as well :)

I think that's a pretty solid interpretation of what I said, yeah.

Hadn't thought about that. Do your heroic deeds require... compensation?
no subject
Compensation must only be paid in the form of a kiss...

[He lifts a hand, giving the edge of her sleeve a tug. Her heart, right there. Any doubt he could possibly have would be alleviated just by looking in her eyes.
Which... he's doing right now, though as a performative he backs away at little, breaking contact. The temptation to give her her "reward" is stronger than ever.]
no subject
When he breaks contact, her hand instantly rises to his cheek, turning his attention back to her so that she might look into them once more. Every day she is able to look into them, but there is not a moment where she's ever grown tired of how they shine.
But her gaze drops to his lips.
She leans in. ]Allow me to take my reward?
no subject
[Speaking of beautiful. As soon as her eyes drop and her intention is made even more obvious, the game he'd invented in his head shifts gears at once as he re-prioritizes what exactly he wants to do right now-]
Permission... denied.
[His voice takes on that authoritative lilt that she's so fond of, letting the words hang between them for all of two seconds before he leans forward to kiss her himself. Rewards really ought to be given, not taken, after all.]
no subject
Her eyes slide shut as she shares another kiss with him, this time out without the cover of this jacket to spare whoever else looks on. Also this time: she does not care who may or may not see. She loves this man, she loves him more than she could ever describe, and she wants to make that love known...
Of course she'll pull away after a moment, breathless and blushing, bumping her nose against his. What else can she say to him, that she hasn't said already? ]
Happy birthday, Noct.
no subject
Maybe in a minute.
For now, he tilts his head so their foreheads and noses are touching, like stupid lovesick teenagers he'd see in his high school, and he gets it now. He gets it, and he's stupid and lovesick and so, so happy about that.]
Happy belated to both of you, too.
no subject
No troubles exist within her mind at this moment. She thinks of him, only him, and his smile and the feeling within her that feel so right to love. ]
So....
More cake?
no subject
At least two more.
[More cake, yes, but extra importantly- more of her company. He'll take that happily any day, and that's how he knows he's got it bad.]
