[He laughs, though the nervous energy he's been giving off only amplifies at her question, having never truly abated even despite his growing feelings of confidence. He expected her reaction to be something like this and even so, he finds himself worrying at his lower lip. No turning back now!]

I, um... o-only if it's okay with you.

[...!!!

She's being asked out on a date. Someone actually wants to date her and it's Prompto.

Her face turns red all over again, and for a few moments there's shocked silence as her brain tries to catch up with this fact.

Prompto wants to date her. Prompto has feelings for her.

And finally, it bubbles out of her. Laughter. Partly in disbelief, partly in relief, but entirely in utter joy. She doesn't think it's entirely sunk in, yet. And honestly, that's probably a good thing. With any luck, she'll be able to respond to Prompto and end the conversation before she completely embarrasses herself.

... as if Prompto would mind, really. If he had been so encouraging of her display of joy while indulging in her hobby, surely he wouldn't mind her celebrating the fact the boy she had feelings for had feelings back for him. He'd probably appreciate it, even.]

I thought... [Prompto might not be able to see the way that she can't stop smiling, but it definitely carries over into her tone.] And here I was so worried about pushing my feelings unnecessarily onto you...

[With bated breath he awaits her reply and while part of him expected to receive a positive answer, given the way their conversation was heading, he hadn't quite expected that. She'd been worried in the same ways he'd been, concerned that maybe he'd been approaching all of it in the wrong way.

It's crazy to think, at least to Prompto, that this smart, kind and beautiful woman might see herself as pushing anything unnecessarily onto anyone. To him, she deserves everything good in the world - to be loved and supported unconditionally. Any guy would be lucky to have Fuuka. She may not realize that but Prompto certainly does.

And he realizes right now that he's lucky to be that guy, for however long he can be.

That thankful feeling permeates the air around him and it's strong enough to be felt even where she is. He laughs, overjoyed, unable to contain it or compose himself. If anyone here's going to embarrass themselves, it'll be him most likely.]

Fuuka, you're the most amazing girl I've ever met... and I've wanted to tell you that for a little while now. [It's so shocking to him how easy he's letting this slip, but that just means that what he feels is strong enough to overcome his insecurities. They're still there, lingering under the surface, but the fact that he can do this? It's invigorating, to say the least.]

But I-- I guess I was worried too.

Stooop!

[She says that, but the word's a delighted laugh in itself as she buries her face in her hands. Prompto, calling her the most amazing girl he's ever met. What flattery! And yet, she doesn't doubt his sincerity at all. She can't stop smiling giddily, feeling so light and happy and... goodness, she's excited!]

It's too much, I couldn't... possibly be... [She bites her lip, unable to keep the smile off her face. She would have been fine with Prompto just telling her that she was amazing, period. But the most amazing! She giggles again, unable to contain her joy. Prompto, what have you done to her!! She's completely lost her self control...

She finally calms down as she considers Prompto's last words, then smiles and responds to him.]

Prompto-san... you've never pushed anything on to me. You've been... so kind, so supportive, so wonderful... You're always so friendly and caring and considerate. You're...

You're amazing, too.

[His laughter heightens at her bashful reaction, so thrilled by the fact that he can make her happy like this. It's enough to completely overshadow the reaction he'd normally have as she lists off the traits that she finds amazing in him - self-doubt (you really think I'm doing okay?) for once not bogging him down.

His heart thumps against his chest with a feeling he's experienced on occasion, but never has it felt so genuine. He's determined, now more than ever before, to give Fuuka the best date she'll ever have.]

I guess that means we're gonna be the most amazing duo at the festival.

[thekissoflife]

[Fuuka laughs again. She can't seem to stop... She feels so light and airy. Prompto likes her, Promtpo likes her. She's so ridiculously happy she can barely contain herself. Her happiness, too, keeps her from somehow protesting or otherwise dismissing the fact that her presence is somehow contributing to being "the most amazing duo at the festival".]

I guess it does.

[She's so excited. She has to get a dress! Maybe get her hair cut? Should she wear make-up? Oh, but this is just a festival, right? It's not like a dinner date or anything, they'll be spending more time participating in the attractions than looking at each other, right?]

So... [She gives a small hum, quiet but filled with joyful energy. Tomorrow. Tomorrow!! How is she going to get any sleep?] I'll see you tomorrow, then.

[quickpic]

[Prompto's just as giddy, but it's manifesting in a more subdued way. He's... actually a little stunned, more than anything. It's just now dawning on him that he needs to prepare, pick an outfit out and get a little advice from his best bud.

He's been on dates before, but they've never gone well; his self-consciousness too heavy to shake, his lack of confidence too overpowering. With Fuuka though? He feels none of those things, only a light flutter in his chest. Tomorrow... he can hardly wait.]

Yeah, I'll see you then!
