Work Text:
You had been in the car for HOURS.
It could sometimes be incredibly boring, and you wished you could knock out like Noctis. Oh how you yearned to sleep peacefully like that.
Alas, here you were. Squished between a snoozing prince and a huge burly man, who was also deeply into his book.
Ignis was driving( per usual) and Prompto was busy taking pictures in the passenger seat, hanging dangerously far out of the car. You wished you had something to entertain yourself, but you forgot your book, your knitting is in the trunk (and you didn't want to make Iggy pull over just for you) and your phone had no interesting games on it. You sighed and leaned forward, placing your elbows on your knees. You stared at the slightly dirty ground of the Regalia and tried to think of what to do to entertain yourself.
What you didn't see, was a certain someone looking at you through the rearview mirror, hearing your sigh.
"Miss Y/n?" Ignis called to you over the wind. You perked up, meeting his gaze in the mirror and seeing his eyes almost twinkle.
"Would you be interested in taking control of the music for this journey?" as soon as he said that you beamed up at him, forcing his lips to twitch up-wards at seeing your reaction.
"I thought you'd never ask" you replied, graciously taking the cord Prompto was handing you. He had overheard the Ignis's suggestion, and gave you a reassuring thumbs up
"You've just been given a very important honor." he bowed a little as you finished the cord transaction with him. You smiled at him and chuckled, watching him turn back around in his seat to continue taking pictures.
"Make sure its not to loud, you'll wake sleeping beauty and make him cranky" a grumble came from beside you, and you glanced over to see Gladio still invested in his book.
"Okay, just to make sure, you said play it as loud as possible right?" This earned you a harsh eye-roll form Gladio and you snickered, going back to your phone to look for music while he commented about how childish that remark was.
Looking through your songs, you realized you had so many possible options. But one song instantly stuck out to you as you were scrolling down the list of downloaded music.
Barbie Girl by Aqua.
Currently the hood was down, and causing your hair to whip around in your face. If you played this song, it would definitely be heard and turn some heads.
You knew what you had to do.
You clicked on the song and turned the volume up a couple notches, getting settled in your seat and ready to loudly sing some music.
The songs opening lyrics started playing, and you took a moment to observe everyone's reaction. Ignis sighed and lifted one hand to rest on the door, leaning his head into his palm with a resigned look, his expression filled with regret. Prompto turned around to gape at you, giggling and putting his camera away, also getting ready. You had started to turn to see Gladio's reaction, but instead you felt it.
Gladio literally shoved you so hard you almost fell on the ground. This had also made it so you fell into Noctis, waking him up with a snort. But neither you or Gladio noticed, being to absorbed in shoving each other and laughing breathlessly. But you blocked his attack's just in time to start your karaoke.
Then the most beat drop happened. And the party started
"IM A BARBIE GIRL."
"IN THE BARBIE WORLD"
"LIFE IN PLASTIC, ITS FANTASTIC"
You are Prompto started yelling out the lyrics, holding up fake microphones up to each other. You were so absorbed in each other that you almost didn't notice a small voice start to join you and Prom, and it was coming from beside you.
Noctis was sleepily singing along.
You and Prompto grinned widely at each other, both of your faces filled with pure joy, and continued to sing your hearts out.
"COME ON BARBIE LETS GO PARTY"
"AH-AH-AH YEAH"
"COME ON BARBIE LETS GO PARTY"
"OOH-WHOA-OHH, OHH-WHOA-OHH"
Gladio released a long groan from beside you as Noctis started to sing louder, getting more into it. Eventually you three were bouncing up and down, singing out for the world to hear.
And the world did get a chance to hear, because Ignis rolled up to get gas all of a sudden.
So from an outsiders perspective, a car just rolled up that was literally shaking from how loud the music was, holding 3 full-grown lunatics singing, and 2 very tired looking men.
You loved these guys.
Ignis turned the car off just as the song finished, heaving another breathe out before getting up out of the car to get gas. You and Prompto were giggling, and Noctis was genuinely smiling.
He even got woken up before he was ready, so his reaction was definitely a surprise but a welcome one.
Gladio suddenly grabbed you and shoved your head into his arms. You squealed and punched at him while he heartily laughed, giving your head a good noogie and messing up your hair in the process. Noctis tried to grab your waist but Gladio held firm, and past Gladio's strong muscles you heard Prom wheezing out laughs.
Ignis didn't let you have the aux again after that.
But it was so worth it.
