fandomtownies | The Photo Hut; Monday [10/24].

So this weekend had really been nothing short of amazing, but it was Monday again, and even though his actual birthday was tomorrow (well, not actual birthday, but let's not get into that), it was time to get his head back in the game.

Or at least try to. Assuming things didn't get too unexpectedly busy here in the shop, he was planning on spending most of his time on the computer, working on setting up the site for his photography and uploading and editing some of the pictures from this weekend for all the stock photo sites (go on, tell him that pictures of puppies wearing birthday hats won't be a popular theme!), but he just kept....drifting off, with a dopey smile on his face as he remembered the weekend and still just marveled that this was apparently his life now, that this could even be his life now, after everything he'd went through....

He wondered if, in a year from now, it would still feel so surreal, considering how it still hadn't seemed to wear off yet...

Liz had gone out for her early morning walk, stopping by the Perk on the way back as she had started doing on Mondays for their usual coffees and then because Prompto’s birthday was tomorrow she had wanted to pick up something from the bakery as well and decided to get some cupcakes and donuts as well .

“Hi,” she smiled brightly carrying the tray of coffee and the cupcakes and donuts from the bakery as she entered the store, “how has your morning been?”

"Hi," Prompto responded back, pulling himself out of another drifting mind moment to turn his attention toward the door. There was a moment to catch up with reality, and his eyebrows hitched up a little at the box that had now joined the expected drinks. "Not as eventful as yours, apparently. What's all that?"

And then, a moment later, he remembered himself and sat up. "Did you need help?"

It didn't look heavy, but it might be heavy, and now Prompto was hopping over the counter to go help Liz out anyway before she could really even answer.

“Donuts and Cupcakes, and coffee as well” Liz told him with a shy smile as she extended the tray and box towards him, grateful for the help even if it wasn't really that heavy to carry, “I know your birthday isn’t until tomorrow but I thought you might like something from the bakery,” she looked a little sheepish, “I didn’t know what to get so I went with both donuts and cupcakes,”

She had gotten a little carried away at the bakery.

Getting carried away at the bakery was very easy to do.

But another benefit to offering his help and services in carrying such cumbersome objects such as those also meant that Prompto could swoop in to add a little kiss on Liz's cheek to the exchange as he happily took up both box and tray. "Obviously," he said, "someone needs to come up with putting a donut in a cupcake, or vice versa, but I think separate will do for now. Thanks, Liz." He laughed a little. "You really didn't need to do that."

Especially since he was planning on also indulging in his traditional Sad Birthday Cupcake tomorrow, too. And after all the cake this weekend...if he wasn't careful, people were going to start thinking he might be the pregnant one, only with a little cake baby. He should really start training with Gladio again. Even if it weren't for all the sweets coming his way now, it would just be smart to keep in shape for whenever things inevitably went rough around here.

Liz giggled at that, flushing at the kiss as Prompto took the box and tray, “it would be easier if there was something like that,” she agreed, “and you’re welcome, I thought you might a treat with for your coffee break,”

She paused, “it’s not too much is it?”

She realised it was a little late now but she figured they didn’t buy that much from the bakery these days and every now and then it was okay to indulge, especially when it was for a birthday.

"You're the only treat I need with my coffee break," said Prompto, because of course he would, grinning at Liz utterly shamelessly for it as she got another kiss. Then he laughed, attention shifting back to the box. "But I will absolutely not say no to more cake and donuts."

He quirked his head toward the counter. "Joining me?" he asked, as he started to make his way back over with all his new, delicious spoils.

Liz went even redder and very happily accepted that kiss, “of course I’d love to join you,” she assured him as she followed him to the counter.

"Good!" Prompto laughed again, as he slid the box carefully from where it was cradled in his arm to the counter, then set down the tray, then carefully launched himself back over the counter to ensure his swinging legs avoided both of them.

"You'd just wind up having to roll me up the stairs later if I tried to eat all of this myself."

He then pulled out the chair he had previously been occupying, and, with a dramatic bow and sweep if his arm, he invited Liz to take a seat. "My lady," he said, with maybe an extra tilt to his grin, because of the karaoke that Saturday.

“Well I thought it was only fair that I stay, especially since I got so much,” Liz smiled as Prompto got out a chair for her.

“Why thank you, kind sir,” she replied as she did a little curtsey and took the offered seat.

She smiled shyly up at him, “hi,”

And Prompto, leaning back on the counter this time instead of hopping up onto it to take his own seat, grinned back.

"Hi," he said, plucking the smaller cup from the drink thay and passing it over to Liz. "How's it going?"

“Well I’m about to have a coffee break with my favourite person and we’re going to eat donuts and cupcakes,” Liz smiled shyly up at Prompto, “so it’s going really well, how about you?”

She was never going to tire of that response.

"Oh, man," said Prompto, grinning through an attempted marveling expression of disbelief as he shook his head, "that's so weird, I was just about to have a coffee break with my favorite person, and we were going to have donuts and cupcakes!"

At least he had an excuse, right. He was just warming up his dad humor.

"What are the odds?" He asked with a chuckle.

Liz’s smile widened and her blush deepened as she stared up at him, “I know, those are some incredible odds that we’re both having coffee and donuts and cupcakes with each other’s favourite person,” she let out a giggle.

"We better make sure we enjoy it, then," said Prompto, lifting his cup with a grin and a wink. "That kind of thing doesn't really happen that often."

“We definitely should,” Liz agreed, her smile widening, “I mean, especially with the odds of this happening again being so small and all,” she added.

She tried to do a wink as well but failed miserably.
