Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[heroic_jawline]

It was Fall! It was stupidly humid today and it was about a billion degrees, but the picnic area was full of apples, pumpkins, and those decorative corn stalks that looked cute until it rained. There was food on tables--including more Cup Noodles than strictly necessary--and chairs scattered throughout the lawn in front of the castle.

Welcome, new and old, to Fandom High! It's only gonna get weirder.

[This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Awwwww." Prompto, who clearly signed his death wish a long, long time ago, anyway, looked incredibly touched, melting a little with a hand to his chest. "You noticed!"

Here he was afraid it would have been to subtle.

Because, yeah, that was what he and Nina were known for. Their subtlety.

"I DROVE A NOODLE BUS. YES, I NOTICED."

"Now how many people can say they've driven a noodle bus, huh?" Prompto offered. "That's, like, a once in a lifetime experience that not many people can claim!"

SO YOU'RE WELCOME ANAKIN.

"Was it a once in a lifetime experience a lot of people want?" Anakin asked.

"You might be surprised!"

Prompto could think of at least three people, himself included, that would have loved the opportunity!

"It'll be a great ice-breaker some day?" he tried.

"You're not wrong there," Anakin had to admit.

Prompto honestly had not expected that to work even a little, so, after a moment of blinking in surprise at Anakin, a grin blossomed on his face and his chest seemed to swell with an unexpected but very welcome sense of pride.

"I knew you'd like it," he said, just because apparently that was all the encouragement he needed to go back to totally pushing all his luck.

"I didn't say that," Anakin said.

"It's okay," Prompto assured him, as if it could be their little secret. "You don't have to, man."

"I didn't like the noodle bus," Anakin clarified.

Prompto bit his lip against a grin and an urge to point out that Anakin hadn't said anything about not liking the noodle hat, because he also knew that it was so much better if he could just believe that it was true by exclusion.

But, to be fair, Anakin hadn't said anything about not liking the noodle hat.

"Duly noted," he said, clearing his throat to chase away that smirk so that he could better nod with the true seriousness that this topic required.

...it did not work.
