The Photo Hut; Monday [06/19].

[hashtag_chocobro]

Yesterday had been really nice, even if the whole idea of a day to celebrate fathers sort of dredged up some of the more complicated feelings Prompto had with regards to the whole thing, as someone who'd never really grew up with one that was pretty distant and then discovered the truth behind his adoption and had....well, to call his relation to Verstael a bit complicated was really underselling the whole thing. And then you just threw in the time thing, and how if it weren't for the disconnect there, Noctra almost wouldn't even have grown up with hers, either...

It had been really nice, but it had also put Prompto in a pretty quiet, reflective mood the next day, when he headed down to the store to get things opened and going for the week, and just sort of...reflectively going through some of the pictures from yesterday to put together and weed out the inevitable ones that got taken of the carpet or at weird angles, occasionally shaking his head (still!) in disbelief that any of this could even be real.

But it was. And he just hoped he was doing an okay job of it and not messing everything up.

At least he could be confident, though, that, even if he was messing it up, he could also be doing a whole lot worse...

The Photo Hut is open!

Around lunchtime Liz and Noctra came downstairs for their usual visit, “hi,” she smiled softly as Noctra gurgled happily, “are we interrupting anything?”

"Hi," Prompto looked up from the computer, glad for the distraction. Even as much as he loved going through all his photos, it was an activity that definitely allowed his mind to wander, and it was good to pull it out of some drifting thoughts to meet Liz's smile with one of his own. He pushed back his chair so he could get up. "And no, not at all, just plucking through the evidence of yesterday's mad crime spree."

He moved over, then, to give Liz a quick kiss and offer to take the baby off her hands.

"How're my favorite ladies doing this morning?"

“We’re both doing very well this morning,” Liz smiled as she returned the quick kiss and gently handed Noctra over, “how did the photos end up turning out?”

Prompto was thoroughly distracted for a moment before he could answer Liz, now that he had Noctra, because she needed to be properly greeted with a few bounces and a few comments on how cute she looked and hoping that she'd been good for her mother that morning before settling her into his arms and making room in front of the computer if Liz wanted to have a look.

"There's some pretty good ones in there," he said, "for the most part. A few duds, but that's pretty typical."

You'd think, as a professional now, he'd be able to not have the occasional picture where you weren't even sure what the picture was of, buuuut....

Liz smiled fondly as she watched them and then she did go to the computer to have a look at the photos, "they're all incredible," she told him as she went through them, she was personally rather fond of those photos where you couldn't quite tell what they were.

Once she was finished she stood up and leaned into give him another kiss, "I really hope you did have a wonderful day yesterday,"

"It was fantastic," Prompto assured Liz, happily taking that kiss and giving her one back. "Thank you. First Father's Day, officially in the bag! I mean, granted, I still have no idea what they're supposed to be like, so you could have totally been making it all up, but I liked it, either way. Couldn't have done it without you, really."

Well, his extremely varied and multitudes of fake kids that showed up on those weekends suggested otherwise, but shhhh.

"I'm glad you liked it," Liz smiled fondly as she happily returned the kiss, "I loved being able to celebrate Father's Day with you and Noctra," she waggled her fingers in front of Noctra as she did.
