older gladiolus and sandstorms are a match made in heaven. I apologise for the low quality – it’s a shame I didn’t manage to use ansel for this, he moved before I could launch it. might attempt to recreate this with it in time.
Gladio lives for the sun. He likes to wake up before the sun rises from its slumber and watch the early morning rays from the horizon. He basks in the warmth of it, enjoying the feeling of it gently caressing his skin, the way it illuminates all things, making even the simplest corner a spectacle to behold. He loves it when every thing turns golden in the afternoons, the smell of humidity a welcome sensation despite the sweat trickling down his back. For him, as long as the sun rises, there’s always a tomorrow to look forward to.

》 SUMMARY: You get drugged, but Gladio saves you from the worst case scenario.
It was supposed to be a simple time to just let loose. After everything that’s happened, everyone had decided it wouldn’t hurt to indulge themselves in a night club close to the hotel where you and the others were staying. Perhaps it was because of the wilder atmosphere of the setting, but Gladio had fallen back to his flirtatious ways, sweet-talking some women he came across.
RATING: Teen | GENRE: Fluff | WORD COUNT: 1,353 SUMMARY: Gladio has a surprise for your birthday. AUTHOR’S COMMENT: Ahhh, why am I always late with these… Anyways, happy birthday @fieryfantasy! This ended up much longer and fluffier than intended, hah. I hope you had/have a wonderful day!
Gladio can’t help but grin like a complete idiot, his cheeks hurting from how much he was smiling. His amber eyes look like they’re twinkling, excitement coursing through his veins as he imagines what your reaction will be like when you see the surprise he has in store for you. He imagines that sweet smile of yours he loves so much gracing your lips when he gives you the gifts he’s picked out especially for you, and all it does is make the man smile much wider, if it was possible.
Prompto, who’s walking a few steps ahead of the Shield, glances back around to look at his friend, and it warms his heart to see Gladio so happy. There’s a bounce in his steps, and that grin of his has never left his face. The blond fetches his camera, walking backwards on the street and hoping not to crash, and he points the lens towards the taller male who’s still lost in his own thoughts. The flash and click of the camera brings him back to reality, one of his eyebrows quirking and head tilting to the side in confusion.
The blond shrugs his shoulders, “I had to get the shot to show Iggy and Noct later. I mean, have you seen how you look like right now?”
Using both arms and with exaggerated motions, Prompto gestures towards the Shield’s appearance. There really isn’t anything different to his usual attire except maybe looking a bit more well-groomed he’s carrying oversized Moogle and Chocobo plushies underneath both of his arms, one of his hands holding onto a brightly-coloured bag that contained your favourite flavoured cake. All the cute-looking items looks amusing when coupled with the man’s intimidating appearance. Enough so that it actually garners some stares and giggles.
“What?” Gladio asks, not seeing what the problem is.
Prompto just sighs in response, playfully rolling his eyes. His friend is so helplessly in love with you, it’s almost unbearable. But it’s also the reason why the blond decided to take some time to help Gladio with his surprise for you.
RATING: Teen | GENRE: Hurt/Comfort/Fluff | WORD COUNT: 1,214 SUMMARY: Gladio decides you need to take a break. NOTE: Written in First POV (Reader’s) AUTHOR’S COMMENT: So this ended up being a bit more personal which is why I ended up writing in first POV instead of my usual second POV. Sweet, soft, and fluffy Gladio gives me pure life.
“Hey, you need to stop…” Gladio heaved a sigh as he placed his firm hands on my shoulders from behind. I understood full well where his concern was coming from, but I chose not to heed his warning and continued with my work, my eyes glued to the screen while my fingers continued to type. Even without looking, I can tell that Gladio was frowning, displeased at my apparent lack of care towards my well-being.
Seeing as the gentle approach didn’t work, the Shield had no choice but to use force. His hands left my shoulders, and for a moment, I foolishly thought that he would leave me alone so that I can continue with my work in peace. Suddenly, he’s gripping the sides of my body and lifting me up into the air.
“Hey!” I shrieked in protest, struggling against him at this abrupt action. Gladio said nothing and draped me over one of his broad shoulders with my legs over his chest and my torso behind his back like I weighed nothing to him.
“You haven’t been eating much.” It wasn’t a question, but rather a statement. An accusatory one at that, but still true. I bit my lower lip at his tone that was laced with worry, knowing where he was going with this. “And you haven’t been sleeping much either.”
