same as always ig haha
what were you thinking about?
something good i hope

How much I like hanging out with you, that's all.
I hope we can do that more.

i like hanging out with you too 😁

i've got some job stuff to do but maybe we can later
if you're not busy i mean
idk what you've got going on right now

[ not much, honestly, but she has been spoiled in her position. ]

I'm available.
I can keep you text company while you're working, though. What are you doing?

yeah totally!
it's kinda boring work right now anyway
i love taking pics but waiting around for stuff to happen is pretty lame
gotta be where the action is to get action tho

[ that really doesn't explain anything, but he's too keyed up to answer properly. ]

So, you're .... working for a newspaper? Gossip magazine?

i'm working for someone who... yknow idk what they do
they just want pics and tell me where i need to go
i guess i should ask them about that huh

I know money's money but you don't even know what he does? lol. You should figure that out!
I wouldn't want to see you in trouble. :(

it's nothing illegal i don't think
but i'll ask next time i get a gig

[ that's so weird to say... usually he's just in the background most of the time. ]

maybe i can do this later so we can hang out now
or you could come with me??

Good! Get that information.

I can come with you if you're not free ...

if you don't care about standing around for a while
maybe i can take some shots of you

[ he has no idea why he says that, but oh well. too late to take it back now. ]

Really? I could be a good subject. 😘

are you kidding?
you'd make an awesome subject
but uh maybe we should do that somewhere else a little more private
lots of people usually make for a bad shot

[ never mind that sounds like a line. bye forever. ]

Oooh, Prompto. You want to get me alooone to take photos of me?

what

nO

i mean i was just
you know

i thought it would be cool...

I'm just teasing you!

I'm flattered. I'll be wherever you need me to be.

[ she can tease him all she wants. he's just internally sweating because she's hot and he's kind of into her. ]

is your place okay?
mine's not really uh people worthy

Totally! I'm always happy to have you over.
Show me my best angles. ;)

haha i'll do my best not to let you down 👌
lemme grab some stuff and i'll be over

[ and about thirty seconds later: ]

i guess askin if i should grab anything is dumb but um
i could try???

I don't think I could ever be disappointed, P.

No, don't worry about it. We're all good here.

you never know lol

[ but enough of that. he's already on his way over, and it won't take him long since he's been in the up for a little while. ]

see you soon okay
let's have fun with this

[ ivy's just returned from an outing, filling some quick obligations on her end. she has yet to find a job but isn't in any rush, fine with what she has been given for now. at some point, she'll have to incorporate routine but for now... she's enjoying it.

she changes her clothes again, putting on a soft tank dress dotted with faint red paisley. she waits for him to come to her door, admittedly antsy as she paces around her apartment barefooted and attempting to fix her hair though none of her braid attempts stay. ]

[ prompto's a rush of pent-up energy, though mostly because of his nerves, and by the time he makes it to ivy's place, he isn't entirely sure why he's even there. which is... sort of untrue. he knows why he said he wants to be, but also, there's something else sort of teetering on the edge. he doesn't want it to be awkward, so he smiles and lifts his camera to snap a candid of her the second she opens the door. ]

Hey. [ it's a sweet, casual greeting, unsure what to do with himself until she invites him in. ] There any places you think have the best light? We gotta have it to make 'em really nice. [ not that ivy needs any help looking beautiful. he's just talking because he does that when he's nervous. ]

Hi!

[ she reaches for his arm and just leaves her hair as is without any special styling, curling her fingers around his bicep to guide him into the living room where they last watched a movie together. the afternoon sun is still high in the sky, streaming through the tall windows of her apartment.

she still feels guilty that prompto has to stay in the down, but at least she can invite him as often as feasibly possible so that he can spend ample time up here. with her. ]

I like this lighting the best. I do some drawing in here even more than in my room.

[ he's still a little keyed up when she touches him, but it's a nice thing, expertly getting out of his shoes and tugging the camera bag he has with him over his shoulder. it's the same one from home, but the only thing that had been in it was the digital and enough SD cards to keep him busy for a good few months. prompto isn't going to tell her he's already taken a few snapshots of her here and there with his faux phone when she hadn't looking; it's just stuff to test the filters and things out with. (plus, he really does like looking at her...) ]

Yeah? [ no, he's not nervous!!! ] You should show me some time. I mean, if that's cool with you. [ no pressure, as always, and he sets the bag down to retrieve the camera, fiddling with the settings as he peeks around the room. ] Wanna sit? I'll get some of you like that first, and we can see what we think.

[ it's definitely not professional or anything, but it'll be fun. ]
