Stolen moments

the stolen moments meme.

Time spent with the person you care the most for is a precious, invaluable thing. Most people take it for granted, though, as they can be with their beloved as much as they'd like. But not you. You and the one you love are kept apart - for whatever reason.

Today, though, you get a rare private moment with them. This is the first time in quite a while, and may be the last time in months, if not years. What do you do? Comfort each other? Hold each other tight? Have sex? Argue? The specifics are up to you; mix and match your canons, tag someone new to see how this stolen moment plays out.

Snake knows he's ruthlessly practical. He's also not the most empathetic of people. He has his faults. But Prompto can see around them and he fought to come back here. To him. He can feel his heart and his stomach flutter at the gentle kiss.

Damn you and your easy way to cut through his sarcasm too. So he tugs Prom along to make the most delicious sandwiches ever.

They're complete opposites, honestly. But Prom can't help it, he's completely head over heels in love with Snake and nothing was going to stand in his way of coming home to him. Not Ardyn. Not the daemons. Not the endless night.

"Thank you. For everything."

[blind_badass]

Snake makes sure to make sandwiches full of meat and cheese, along with something to drink so they can eat together at the table. Sitting side by side.

"Thank you, Prompto. Thank you for coming back."

[real_life_rpg]

Honestly, Snake could've served jam sandwiches and Prompto would've thought it was the most amazing sandwich he had ever seen. However, the actual sandwiches they've made really do look incredible and Prom's stomach growls at the mere thought of eating them.

"I'll always come back to you, Snake. No matter where I go or what I do. I'll always find my way home to you. I promise."

[blind_badass]

He can hear how relieved Prompto sounds. That he's safe now and confident that he'll come back.

So Snake starts eating. Starts sharing a meal with his boyfriend. The one that he had fears would never return and never know why. And he starts to silently cry. He doesn't sob or anything. Just that tears start to fall from his closed eyes.

Because now that Prompto is safe and secure, Snake can finally feel relief. Even if he doesn't make a sound, other than eating.

[real_life_rpg]

It's a promise they both know that he can't be certain to keep; not with the world in the state it's in and all the uncertainty. But it's a a promise he'll try his damnedest to keep, and one that gives him a sense of security.

Prom scoots his seat closer to Snake's and shifts to rest his head on Snake's shoulder as they eat. He doesn't verbally draw attention to the fact Snake is crying, the closeness is enough to comfort them both and reassure them both that they're safe and together.

He had been so scared and alone, but now, he feels the warmth and love of companionship and it's a feeling he never wants to let go of.

[blind_badass]

It's a little hard to eat with one's throat getting closed off with tears, but Snake tries. He wants to set a good example for Prompto and get him to eat as well.

With a napkin, he wipes his lips and his eyes. He then kisses Prompto, cleans up and leads him to the shower.

"Now then. Let's get nice and clean together. I'll still put a first aid kit here so when you get out, you can tend to everything. Or tell me how I can help. Then you can wear some of my pajamas and we'll go to sleep. Okay?"

[real_life_rpg]

Prompto definitely feels more human for having a good, filling meal. It might've only been sandwiches but his stomach saw it as practically a feast. Delicious.

He kisses back and follows Snake. "Sounds perfect. I can't remember the last time I felt clean. I really am glad to be back, Snake. Back home with you. I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with you sooner." It will be a long time until the guilt leaves Prom.

[blind_badass]

"I know. It couldn't be helped. But the most important thing right now is that you're alive and you're here."

There's a great temptation to make out in the shower. But mostly, he wants to reassure himself that Prompto is there by getting shampoo in his boyfriend's hair. Then washing it out under the warm water.

He'll sneak in a few touches here and there. He knows Prompto is probably bruised and doesn't want to aggravate any injuries that he might have.

[real_life_rpg]

He's covered in cuts and bruises, even his bruises have bruises; but that doesn't stop him from stealing a few kisses and touches of his own. Now, Prompto is scared of a great many things in life - heights, small spaces, bugs, to name just a few, but the fear he felt separated from his friends and from Snake, it went soul deep in a way he never wants to experience again.

It also taught him a valuable lesson that life is too short and too precious to waste. He wants to make every moment with Snake count. Speaking of, Snake practically has him purring like a kitten as he washes his hair. Washing away the grime and dried blood feels good in itself, but having someone he loves card their fingers through his hair makes it all the better.

[blind_badass]

He hopes Prompto enjoys having his hair smell like apples because that's the shampoo they have. It's also fun to dry each other off. While Snake assumes that Prompto is tending to some of his injuries, Snake towels dry his boyfriend's hair.

Clean and dry, Snake tugs Prompto to his room. He didn't exactly want to stroll around nude in the apartment when his sister might be coming home at any time. Better to keep that behind a bedroom door and only for Prompto.

"Here, I think these will fit. And then I can be filled with the thought of you wearing my clothes. I think you'd be dashing in a shirt and tie," he said, teasing a bit.

[real_life_rpg]

Apple shampoo is fine. Honestly, anything that doesn't smell like stale sweat and blood is fine, but apple is a good smell. Prompto could get used to Snake washing and drying his hair - it feels good - relaxing, calming and Snake has such beautiful hands.

Prompto dresses the worst of his wounds, but he doesn't use the potion. Who knows how bad things will get with the endless nights? And he doesn't want to waste Snake and Clover's limited stock of curatives - they might need them further down the line.

He lets Snake drag him and he's quick to dress himself in Snake's clothes. There's something intimate about wearing his boyfriend's clothes - he can't help but nuzzle into them. "Heh, I don't think I've even worn a tie since I left school."

Prompto tugs Snake into a soft kiss. "I'd wear a tie for you anytime though."

[blind_badass]

Prompto in his pajamas is quite the thrill. Snake smiles a bit. "I'll have to keep that in mind for later."

The world is going to grow colder and darker. They will have to adjust. But it will be bearable if they can adjust together. Putting on his own pajamas, Snake gets into bed and pulls Prompto close. Close so that still damp hair is under his chin. Close so Prompto can hear his heart beat and be comforted that he is not alone.

Yes, there was terror and pain and loss. But Snake will do his best to conquer that by giving Prompto a place of safety and peace. "Good night, Prompto."

[real_life_rpg]

Prompto will just have to make a habit of wearing Snake's clothes, and maybe he'll have to convince Snake to wear a few of his t-shirts - they might be a bit tight on him but Prompto definitely wouldn't complain; besides, then his clothes would smell like Snake and he could feel closer to him when Prom undoubtedly had to leave to go daemon hunting.

He snuggles up close to Snake, listening to his heart beat, counting the beats in his head. This is real. This is safe. This isn't one of Ardyn's tricks.

"Night, Snake." A beat. "H-hey Snake? I love you."
