You’re Injured (Final Fantasy XV Scenario)

Requested by anon:

FFXV scenario, the reader gets really hurt but fights agaisnt any help that people try to give them until they pass out

A/N: This is my first writing for FFXV after the hiatus and I want to take it slow to get back to writing for the fandom. So if you do send more requests for it, I might not be inspired for them or get overwhelmed, but I’m open to slowly get back to it. Also, sorry this took so long to post and it might not be as good.

Ignis

You gasped as you clutched your injury, trying to hide it from the group even though you were clearly hurt and bleeding a lot. Ignis was smarter than this, however, and very observant, enough to realize what was going on before any of the others did.

Walking a little faster to catch up with you after the battle, he took you by the arm and spoke lowly not to alarm the others.

“Y/N, you are hurt” Ignis said sternly, knowing enough about you to foresee that you would brush it off.

“I’m okay” You just said, even if clenching your jaw not to complain about the pain.

Your friend let out a soft sigh and adjusted his glasses, then briefly looking over his shoulder to the rest of the group. Noctis, Prompto and Gladio were completely oblivious to the situation, so Ignis gathered his full attention back on you.

Trying to convince you, he gingerly rested a hand on your back and spoke closely to your ear so only you could hear.

“Come, we will patch you up and then you can get some rest” His voice was soft and gentle even if there was a hint of impatience on it.

“I said I’m okay, Ignis” You replied nonetheless, walking faster to try and avoid him.

“This is absurd, Y/N” Ignis easily caught up to you. “Quit your puerile attitude and allow me to help you”

You dangerously stumbled, but he was fast enough to hold you up by the arm. After you regained your balance, he still didn’t let go of you.

“It’s not puerile, Ignis” You were gasping for breath and your vision had started becoming blurry, but you tried to hide it all. “I said I’m fine, it’s just a scratch”

“You are bleeding profusely” He disagreed, sternly focusing his green eyes on you.

“Ignis…” You complained, but he adamantly shook his head.

“While it causes me great displeasure to disagree with you, I must protect you even against your wishes” The man said, allowing you to weakly lean over him as your strengths failed you. “No matter how stubborn you might be about it, darling”

Before you could say anything else, Ignis looked over his shoulder to your friends. Despite his authoritarian stance, you noticed his hands were shaking as he held you up with both of them.

“Noct!” Ignis called out. “Quickly, bring the car!”

“What’s wrong?” Gladio’s deep voice asked while you heard Noctis warping away without questioning it.

“Y/N is severely hurt” Ignis’ voice also sounded slightly hoarse as his hands nervously changed their grip from your upper arm to your waist, also using his arms to better support you. “We must make haste and treat the wound”

“I have a potion!” Prompto quickly pointed out, and you heard his feet stomping on the ground as he approached you.

However, and before the potion could be administered to you, you felt how your knees buckled and you completely collapsed over Ignis’ torso as the world turned to black.

Prompto

You felt relieved as you finally made it to Hammerhead, where you could sit down and rest. No more endless walking and no more standing under the hot noon sun. Nonetheless, you were still exhausted and in pain, but you had managed to cover your wound and conceal it from your friends so far. Or at least almost all of them.

As you feebly leaned on a wall, you watched Prompto approaching you. That sweet boy had been keeping an eye on you ever since you left the battlefield. The other three had, of course, noticed something strange as well, but they believed you when you brushed it off saying you were just tired. Prompto, however, didn’t quite buy it.

“Hey, Y/N, um…” He bashfully piped up as you tried your hardest to appear normal. “Are you okay? You’re not looking so good, you’re all sweaty and everything. And you’re awfully quiet…”

“I’m fine, Prompto” You managed a weak smile, even if his frown never softened.

“You sure? Want me to call Iggy or something?”

“I’m sure. Don’t tell them, okay? I’m just tired, I’ll be fine as soon as I rest a little later”

Prompto nibbled on his bottom lip, his blue eyes settled over your side. Just then you noticed you were clutching it there where your wound was, but you didn’t want to uncover it in case he saw the blood. Instead, you softened the strength on your grip.

“Are you okay, for reals?” You had never heard him so serious, his usually upbeat voice sounded low and soft. “You look so pale…”

“I’m okay, for real” You tried not to move too much, scared that a bad movement gave you away.

Prompto didn’t seem too convinced, but he left anyway. You let out a sigh as soon as he walked away, wishing they cut the visit to Hammerhead short and you could sit back on the Regalia and rest. You would cover up your wound as soon as you found an outpost, you had already used a potion to buy yourself some time.

Your plans were trumped, however, when you noticed Prompto tugging at Iggy’s arm. He was telling him, and Ignis was now hurrying over to you.

“Damn it, Prompto…” You whispered to yourself, feeling betrayed.

Leaning away from the walk, you took a few steps closer to them. Words were already forming in your head, trying to find excuses as to why Prompto was so worried.

You wobbled when you lost your source of support, and the two hurried to your side. Ignis wasn’t fast enough, but Prompto arrived just in time to hold you up as you drifted into unconscisouness.

Noctis

You gasped as you weakly plopped down in the car, in your seat next to Noctis. You had managed to hide your injury from the guys that long, but you didn’t know how long you could keep up the act for anymore. You were exhausted, your vision was blurry and your wound hurt like hell.

“Y/N?” Noctis whispered, staring at you intently, noticing something was off.

Before you could reply, you cleared your throat to avoid your voice sounding hoarse. Then you looked up at him with the best and most convincing smile you could put together.

“Yeah” You held his glance, no matter how hard it was to focus on his blue eyes.

“You okay?” There was concern in his voice, but you tried to brush it off.

“Sure, just tired” You carelessly waved a hand in the air and closed your eyes, pretending to sleep when in reality you just wanted to stop the world from spinning around you.

Now that the Regalia was moving again, the constant movement of the car was making you queasy and with every bump in the road you could feel the wound in your side scream out with a pang of pain.

You opened your eyes just enough to take a look around you. Ignis was focused on the road, Prompto was absently looking at the landscape to the right and Gladio was immersed in his book. At least the boys hadn’t noticed, and you hoped Noctis believed your excuse.

With a huge bump, you bounced in the seat due to the inertia and couldn’t suppress a groan, feeling how your wound bothered you even more.

“Iggy…” You complained, closing your eyes again as you leaned over the side of the car.

“My apologies” He muttered, thinking you were just annoyed.

You didn’t know what to do, but you needed to do something. Not only were you sweaty, weak, dizzy, queasy and in pain. You were also very uncomfortable and quite delirious.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Came Noctis’ voice again, just as you somehow got comfortable.

“Yeah, why?” You mumbled in an instinct, not bothering to open your eyes.

“You never put your head on my shoulder” With his words you realized that was the reason why you were feeling a little bit more comfortable now.

“Mmm…” You just groaned, not feeling strong enough to move. Everything was horrible, and at least Noct’s warmth and softness brought you some comfort.

“Uh… Iggy?” He spoke up, sounding a little nervous and insecure.

“Yes, Noct?”

“I think Y/N is sick…”

“Oh my god, she’s bleeding!”

Prompto’s loud voice made you wince but you still didn’t move. You felt the car come to a halt but refused to leave the comfort of Noctis’ support. He clumsily put your hair aside to take a look at your face.

“You’re burning up!” He exclaimed, fidgeting around a little.

“I’m fine” You softly swatted him away.

“Noct?”

“I think we should get her somewhere safe”

“But what about the wound?!”

“Prompto, please, don’t speak so loudly, Y/N isn’t feeling well”

“I’m with Gladio, we should get somewhere safe” Noctis carefully grabbed the hem of your shirt, trying to take a look at your side as the blood stained the fabric but you weakly slapped him.

However, as soon as you touched it, you took ahold of his hand. It felt so nice.

“Your hands are cold” You pressed it against your forehead, since his cold skin made your fever a little better.

Part of you wanted to push Noct away again, but your delirious stated made it hard to fight back. Besides, his closeness and your head on his shoulder seemed to be the only thing bringing you some stability and comfort.

Nonetheless, you didn’t want to gather the other’s attention. Just Noctis’, he was the only one you were allowing to slightly freak out, and only because his attention seemed to improve your terrible state.

It was so cozy, and more when he put an arm around you. You could hear ruckus around you and noticed Ignis had stopped the car, but you still didn’t move. You were falling asleep on Noctis’ shoulder, even if your friends asked you to stay awake.

Gladio

His amber eyes were settled on you, you felt them burning in your nape as he refused to tear his gaze away from your persona. He knew, no matter how hard you were trying to hide it, he knew. Was it that you were dragging your feet across the ground as you walked? Were you hunching over tiredly? Just then you realized you were clutching your arm, so you casually let go of it and subtly took a look at it to figure out if there was blood sipping through the fabric of your clothes.

“Hey” His raspy voice called out to you. You pretended you didn’t hear him, but he insisted. “Hey, Y/N”

“What?” You asked back, exhausted yet trying not to show it.

“What’s with you?” With Gladio’s question, the other three men looked at you.

“Nothing” You forced a smile to comfort them. “I’m fine, guys”

Ignis, Prompto and Noctis gave you strange looks but didn’t ask, they just continued to walk. Gladio wasn’t as satisfied, though.

“Lemme guess, you got hurt”

“No…”

“And you’re trying to cover it up not to make a fuss out of it”

“I said I’m fine, Gladio”

“You’re not fine, stop being so stubborn”

“Look who’s talking” You knew you were pigheaded, but Gladio was a tough competitor himself.

You suddenly yelped when he held you by the arm, causing a wave of pain to spread through your arm and up your shoulder. Gladio immediately let go of you, so fast that it seemed like he was the one to feel the pain instead of you.

Luckily, the other three were immersed in a lively chatter and were too far away now to hear anything. But Gladio’s concern only worsened at your reaction.

“Lemme see” He crossed his arms, bearing an expression that admitted no arguments.

Honestly, you were too tired to argue anymore. You felt your energy was being drained due to the blood loss. Not that it was a serious injury, but during your last encounter you had gotten hurt by a sabertusk and its horn made a deep cut in your arm that was now gushing blood.

You just gave him your arm, allowing him to roll up your sleeve and do all the work himself. You just felt like collapsing on the ground and falling asleep, you were so tired.

You winced as Gladio gingerly revealed your wound and let out a shaky sigh. Instead of taking you by the arm, he put an arm around your waist instead not to hurt you.

“That’s it, we’re going back to camp” If he was usually stronger than you, now that he was so determined and you so weak, there was no stopping him as he took you with him.

“No! I said I’m fine!” You refused to let the party stop everything just to take care of such a tiny inconvenience.

“If you don’t let me take care of you, I’m gonna have to tell the others” There was a bit of smugness in his voice, even if it was mostly laced with concern still.

“You wouldn’t dare” You closed your eyes, feeling how every bit of energy left in you was leaving your body and Gladio’s arm almost supported you entirely.

“Iggy!” Gladio exclaimed, gathering the group’s attention. You didn’t complain, feeling too faint to even open your eyes. “Y/N got hurt!”

“What?!” The three of them muttered exclamations of their own as you heard them rushing to your side.

“You traitor” You managed to let out as the very last of your energies left you.

“No need to thank me, gorgeous” Gladio said as he effortlessly picked you up in his arms.

You began to drift into the darkness as you groggily thought that, even if they would all freak out, at least you were safe under Gladio’s supervision.

Imagine Lazy Mornings (sfw)

Noctis: all mornings are lazy with him. He’s quite the sleep snuggler, so more than likely you’ll wake up with him attached to your back like a baby koala bear. He prefers to wake up naturally, it just improves his mood over all throughout the day. Be gentle waking him up and you’ll earn a little smile and a chuckle.

Prompto: he always wakes up first, peppering your cheeks with little kisses. He giggles a lot in the morning, and doesn’t mind lingering in bed for some good morning cuddling. But after a while he’ll start to get a little bored and needs some stimulation and things to do.

Gladio: incredibly and increasingly rare are the mornings where you wake up and Gladio is still there. But once in a blue moon you’ll wake up to find him draped over you, snoring quietly in your ear. He’lol roll over and pull you onto his chest, holding you against him in a tight bear hug while he tries to get some more sleep.

Ignis: Like Gladio it’s rare you’ll see him sleep in. Sometimes though you can catch him still snoozing after 7 am, his hair a mess, glasses on the bedside table, his pj shirt slightly unbuttoned and askew. Wake him gently with a good morning kiss. He won’t linger in bed long but the few minutes you do spend together are sweet none the less.

Cor: you’re fairly certain Cor has seen every sunrise every day for the last 30 years. The man never sleeps in. Only once did you manage to keep him in bed past 6 am and you had to use more...salacious means to achieve that. At least he’ll sit on the couch to cuddle for a bit while he has his coffee before work. He’ll find the time to give you somewhat of a normal relationship.

FFXV’s Scenario 01: ‘When they steal you a kiss’ Gladio. Ver

—Noct, I’ts time to rest…. It’s getting dark—Ignis murmured at the steering wheel of the Regalia.

—Hm, it’s okay, tomorrow we can continue traveling…—The King of Insomnia didn’t object.

—Oh, __________ has fallen asleep, she’s so cute —Prompto said, smiling at seeing you as you slept between Gladio and Noctis.

—We have to wake her up…—Noct said, ready to pull your cheeks.

—Hey, hey… Let her sleep a little longer, today we walked a lot —Gladiolus put his huge arm in front of your face, breaking Noctis’s plans.

—Come on, it’s fun…—Noctis laughed.

—Nobody bothers you when you sleep in the car —It was Ignis argument from the front of the car.

—Iggy is right —Gladiolus supported the boy with glasses.

—Ah, it’s okay… Then I’ll sleep too—Noctis said, almost like a rebellious teenager, leaning back on the Regalia and closing his eyes.

—Speaking of sleep… Shall we camp?—Ignis asked.

—No, please!—Prompto pleaded.

—You’re a crybaby… —Gladiolus murmured.

And when Ignis doubled in a curve with the car, the big guy in the group was now silent, your head had leaned against his arm, you were exhausted; It even seemed hard for you to wake up.

—What do you say, Noct?—Ignis asked—I know you’re awake.

—Mh, I don’t want to camp… —The King answered with closed eyes.

—I don’t think it’s a good choice to camp today—Gladiolus commented, not shouting because you were sleeping on his arm.

—What?!—Prompto and Noctis, the King opening his eyes now, exclaimed surprised—Why don’t you want to camp?!

—Hey, hey, lower your voice…—Gladio murmured, a little annoyed by the cries of his friends, until he noticed how your body began you move and get away from his arm.

—Umh… What’s wrong?—You asked, rejoining the group opening your eyes slowly—Oh, a storm is coming…—It was your first observation when looking at the sky.

—Exactly for that, good morning sleepy… —Gladiolus said, with a big smile.

—Woah, I hadn’t noticed the weather… —Prompto commented, looking up.

—Ignis, close the car… —Noct muttered, to which the bodyguard transformed the Regalia into the roof model, indispensable for the rainy days.

—Did I really fall asleep?—You complained, a little embarrassed, seeing Noctis and the Gladio.

—Yes, you even drooled Gladio’s shoulder—Prompto said from the front, with a giggle.

—Eh?! Really?!—And you looked at Gladiolus with panic, then everyone burst into laughter in the car, Ignis clearly just smiled.

—No, no… You just leaned on my arm, but I think that you have some slime in your mouth—Gladiolus pointed, poking at your cheek with his index finger.

—Can’t be!—You blushed covering your mouth.

Again the three most scandalous laughed at the Regalia, while Ignis parked in Longwythe Rest Area, next to the gas pump, which was in front of the motel.

—Hey, it’s not a place to bring a young lady…— Prompto said, in a mocking tone.

—At least you could buy me a drink first, Iggy —You said, to which the boys laughed.

—Well, well… all down now—Ignis answered, arranging his glasses on his nose—_______, you will sleep in a separate room.

—R-Really?—Your face looked a little afflicted, inside you there was a feeling with regard to the weather.

—Why can she sleep at ease and we should share beds?—Noctis complained, bringing his prince’s side afloat.

—Your Majesty, you can sleep on the floor at will if you want—Gladiolus said, tapping his back with a smile that wanted to annoy him.

—I refuse—Noctis responded shaking his head—___________, before you go to sleep, you can come to eat in our room.

—__________?—Prompto called your name.

—A-ah?—You reacted late, your mind and your eyes were busy looking at the sky: the thunder and lightning were coming,

—What happen, __________?—Gladiolus touched your shoulder and in reaction to it you shrieked covering your ears.

—H-hey! ________ Are you ok?—The other three boys asked in unison.

—…Y-Yes—You could barely answer that question, with a fragile smile.

—Well, come on, I already have a room… —Ignis showed the keys.

They left the Regalia behind parked, they walked towards the second door of the enclosure and Ignis gave you the key to your room, however, you didn’t feel like entering there yet. So you followed the guys inside the second door, the room was somewhat cold, but cozy.

—I think it will be a noisy night… —Ignis murmured, entering the kitchen—Would you like yo eat soup?

—Yes! Soup for the cold—Prompto raised his arms, victoriously.

—It’s fine with me—Noctis nodded.

—Can I eat noodle soup?—Gladiolus asked with a smile, approaching the kitchen where Ignis was-

—Of course not, Gladio, don’t disrespect my food—Ignis defended himself, starting to raise his sleeves to be able to cook.

—Noct, you want to play King’s Knight?—Prompto asked, and the King of Insomnia without saying anything pulled his cell phone out of his jacket.

—Come on now—Noctis replied with a defiant smile, beginning to load the game onto his cell phone.

—Is this a kind of heater?—Gladiolus were exploring the room, and his voice raised, like he was asking to Ignis.

—Wow! Are we going to get warm?—Prompto stopped watching his phone screen for a moment, looking at the big man.

It was an artifact that seemed screwed to the wall.

—I hope it works, it’s a Little icy—Ignis said, approaching where his friend was—Do you think you can turn it on?

—That’s it, it’s on—Gladiolus replied, smiling proudly.

—Well, I’ll go back to the kitchen—and the boy with lens disappeared in the door next to the bathroom.

—Hey, _________ —Gladiolus called for you, sitting suddenly on the bed where you were sitting, again you shrieked.

—Why are you scared so easily lately?—Prompto asked, without taking his eyes off his phone.

—I-It’s nothing… Maybe lack of sleep—You tried to excuse yourself with a pretty weird smile.

—Then go to sleep—Gladio crossed his arms.

—…F-First I want to eat—You mumbled, looking down.

Gladiolus only looked at you in silence for a while and got up from the bed, he walked to the curtains of the room and closed them one by one, you could only look at him, trying yo decipher what he was doing.

—Ignis, could you rush the food?—The strongman asked, making his way to the kitchen—I’ll help you.

After Gladio passed by you, you looked down again and the sound of the rain invaded the room.

—The sound of the rain is so relaxing to sleep, don’t you think, ________?—Prompto asked, looking at you.

—…Y-Yes—It was your answer, unconvincing.

—Hey, eyes on the screen oy you could die—Noctis murmured pressing the buttons on the screen.

—Shit!—The blond exclaimed, turning his head to his cellphone.

A few minutes passed in which you only had your head down, the boys didn’t ask why, thinking that you were only tired, besides being aware of their game. Ignis and Gladio were finishing the meal in the kitchen, until that noise you were waiting for finally appeared, you didn’t scream, but you covered your ears at once.

—L-LIGHTNING! —Prompto shrieked. Jumping from his bed to where Noctis was.

—The food is ready—Ignis said, who was following by Gladio, both holding plates in their hands.

—Guys, eat now—There was something in Gladio’s tone that attracted attention, he wanted everything to be done immediately.

—Something wrong?—The gunslinger asked, noticing the tone the king’s guardian used.

—It will be a long night… It is better to fall asleep fast, there will be more lightning —Gladio answered, looking at the clock on the wall—Bless the food.

—Thanks for the food…. —Everyone said in unison and began to eat the soup that Ignis had prepared, which obviously tasted exquisite, as was to be expected of Ignis.

Between sips of soup, sounds of spoons playing with the bottom of the plate and sounds of satisfaction the dinner of the five ended, everyone felt full and welcomed by the warmth of a homemade dish, worthy and worthy of and immediate dream.

—Well, it’s time to sleep…—Noct said, walking towards one of the beds—_______, aren’t you afraid of the stroms right?

—M-me…?—You asked, nervous completely.

—Yes, remember you’ll sleep alone…—The king shrugged, noticing how Prompto was approaching the bed where he was going to get in—Really? I have to sleep with you?—He sighed.

—There are only two beds, Majesty—Prompto replied with an ironic tone.

—________ won’t leave yet, we’ll play a round of King’s Knight—Gladio interrupted, hugging you by the arm, surprising you.

—Can we play too?—The blonded asked, with a puppy face excited.

—You’re going to sleep, you already played today—Ignis said, throwing a pillow against Prompto, who after that blow didn’t take long to star snoring.

—That was a K.O—Noctis laughed, not paying attention to what Galdio said earlier, he took place in the bed next were Prompto were sleeping and covered himself with blankets—Good night.

—Good night, guys—Ignis said, taking his place in the bed where Gladio should arrive later.

There was a moment of silence, Gladio broke the grip with his arm towards you and pulled his phone out of his pants pocket. He typed a bit and the you felt you mobile vibrate.

—Who…?—You asked taking you phone, it was a message from him.

“We won’t play King’s Knight, but you must tell me the truth…”

You looked at him, he just crossed his arms, waiting for your answer.

“What are you talking about?”

“Come on, I know you’re scared…”

“About what?”

“The thunders, and there’s nothing wrong with being afraid of them”

“… I am guardian of the crown; it is a shame to be afraid of the powers of mother nature”

“I would be also afraid of Lamu if it were you”

“I don’t have…Well yes, I’m afraid of thunders and storms”

“Well said, I’ll sleep with you tonight”

You didn’t follow the conversation, you just looked up and looked at him in total amazement.

Gladiolus said nothing, just walked to the door of the room and opened it, noticing that all his friends were already sleeping peacefully, then made a gesture with his head, indicating that they should leave.

Ando so you followed him out of the room.

—Wait…—Gladio interrupted, snatching the keys from your hand, taking place next to you and hugging your shoulder. As soon as he opened the door of your room.

—Damn, it’s very cold here…—You mumbled when you entered with the big man.

—And how will you see, there’s only one bed…—Gladio used a burlesque tone and you only nudged him in the ribs.

—You weren’t being serious when you said that… right?—And when you did that question, your tone of voice changed to a dubious one.

—Well…—Gladio spoke and the room light up completely, so he only reacted to cover your ears and put his forehead with yours. All in one quick action.

Your eyes looked at those amber eyes, then your eyesight went directly to the boy’s lips, they seemed to mutter something, but the pressure in your ears that he exerted was so prefect that he coupled the sound, maybe it influenced the size of his hands you thought, but leaving aside that effect, there was a little blush oh your cheeks because of the scene.

—Thank…you, Gladio—You muttered, lowering your eyes as the taller one freed you from that approach, which sent shivers down your spine.

—Come on, let’s go to bed…—And to say that in a certain way made you feel even more nervous.

Gladio approached the bed and took the clothes, he entered after taking off his shoes with quick movements. You just stared at him in astonishment, as if you still didn’t believe what was going to happen.

—G-Gladio…. I —You started to hesitate.

—You must hurry—the brunette said, taking off his jackets and leaving it on the chair, continuing to the bed.

—O-ok… —You answered, getting rid of your jacket, feeling that the boy was watching you with attention.

You looked up and saw how his eyes were again on you, on your figure and you started to blush, and he just looked away.

—S-Sorry… I didn’t wnat to bother you—murmured the brown haired boy.

And the room light up again from one moment to another, making you jump inside the bed with your eyes closed, like a little girl scared at three years old.

—Don’t panic… you’re not alone—Gladiolus’s hoarse voice made you open your eyes and you would notice that you were against his chest, seeking refuge—You can sleep, I’ll be here watching your dream…

—…Thank you very much, Gladdy. —You whispered, looking down. And hiding your cheeks burning in a bright red.

—___________—Gladiolus called your name.

You raised your face to attend to his call and like lightning, you received a kiss on your lips. A kiss that electrified every part of you, that surprised you completely.

One of his big hands had taken place on your chin, and the other had won at your waist, leaving the feeling that where his hands were even after letting go, the heat they emitted was going to leave an empty feeling in your body, you know that. They were warm lips, which did nothing but exert a slight pressure against yours, and your small body next to a protective body for which you let yourself be protected slowly.

A body belonging to a great man, with a big heart.

—Good night… —Gladio whispered, wreaking havoc on you with a hoarse voice.

—W-What was… that?—You asked, almost using a tone of complaint as soon as the brunette broke the contact between your lips.

—Something you can think about instead of listening to the storm—Gladio answered, closing his eyes.

—But, I...—You started to say.

—Good night—Gladio repeated, using a scolding tone.

You were going to argue something else, but those strong arms surrounded you, his hand rested on your head and invited you, well, practically forced you to take refuge in his chest. However, it didn’t bother you, because you received the sound of an accelerated and nervous heart; Same as yours. Adding the intoxicating aroma of a man and the warmth with which your body sheltered you. All these details were the key to take you to a deep sleep, where the thunders couldn’t reach you, but where that brunette can reach you.

----------------------------------------------

Yeaaaaaaah, another update. I’ll already have the others, but like I said before, I have to translate them from spanish to english.

Like and reblog if you like it, and share with people that love Gladio <3

Hi, I love your work. Can I please get headcanons for the reader being Gladios older sibling, but is tiny

Thank you! It took an eternity but here you go:

When standing next to Gladio, no one will realize you are the oldest

When standing next to Iris, most people will realize you’re older

Gently remind people who is the oldest of the Amicitia siblings

People not taking you seriously is a real problem

They will learn

Words to live by: The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Definitely learn to use that to your advantage in combat, and the few years of experience you have ahead of Gladio

Part of the Crownsguard cause that’s just how the Amicitia family rolls

It’s your right as the oldest sibling to punish the younger ones if when they tease you about your height

You were not given as many freedoms as the younger siblings got, and that’s #salt forever

But, you were the one who made the rules. Poor Clarus

Competition about who is the better older sibling for Iris

“Hey Iris, it’s your favorite older sibling!” is a standard greeting

Also poor that person who invokes the wrath of you and Gladio on behalf of her

Take personally the job of making sure Iris knows how to defend herself

If there is anyone Gladio can turn to with anything, it’s you

It’s easier for him to show weakness to you instead of Iris

Sometimes he needs someone to tell him to take his head out of his ass

He can and will casually lift you even without asking. You’re used to it

It’s free exercise for him

Always volunteer as an extra weight

The bros will know better than to cross the oldest Amicitia

There must be a reason why Gladio has a certain amount of fearful respect for you

Noctis tested. Just once

Anyways, you’ll always be prepared to mother hen the guys and worry about Gladio’s duties as the Shield

Make Ignis swear he will watch Gladio’s back no matter what

Warn Prompto not to annoy your mountain of a little brother

Remind Noctis that your brother is the best Shield he could ever have, though he already knows this

One word: Cup noodles

I mean, Gladio must have gotten the obsession from somewhere??

Another word: Moogles

You must have a lot of stuffed moogles

Getting A New Job

How the Bro’s would react when you tell them you have a new job!! Hope you like it~!

Noctis:

He’d be pretty chill tbh

It’s Noct, he’s pretty chill about everything!

When you come home and tell him you got a new job, he’d get up from the couch

Give you a big smile

And give you a big hug

He’s gonna be really excited for you, but he won’t show it

He’s gonna ask you lots of calm questions

Like how did the interview go

What hours will you be working

What benefits does the job offer

All the really important questions

Gladio:

He’s gonna be so proud of you

When you get home and tell him

He’s gonna get up and give you a bear hug!

Literally he’s gonna lift you up and spin you around!

He’ll ask questions like

Where are you based

Is it within jogging distance

Is it near a gym??

Doesn’t have have to be his gym

He’ll change gyms just to be closer to you

That way, he can walk to work with you, and go to the gym after

He’ll walk you home afterwards too

Providing its within walking distance

If it’s not, then he’ll be a bit sad

Buuuuut

He’s gonna walk you to the bus stop, or train station etc

He’s still gonna come and pick you up after work though

And make sure you can spend a bit of time together excersing

Ignis:

Immediately

Iggy is gonna ask the important questions

What shifts are you working

What days do you get a lunch break

Do you have a 1Litre water bottle to take to work with you

How will you be getting there

What time do you finish in the evenings

Should he cook you dinner for when you get home

Iggy is very responsible as we all know

He’ll look up an amazing amount of different sandwich concoctions for you to try

And he would want you to spend as little of your pay check as possible on food

Iggy will take care of that

And he’ll take care of you

Making you super amazing dishes to take to work with you

Prompto:

He doesn’t care where you work

He doesn’t care when you work

He doesn’t care how much you get paid

As long as, at the end of the day, you still come home to him

He’s so proud that you got a new job!

He’ll want to celebrate immediately!

He’ll tell all the bros about you getting a new job

Prom will be talking about it for a while

And he’ll keep reminding you that you got a new job for a long time

Or at least, until you get settled into it

He’ll try to visit you at work

But if you’re too busy, he’ll come back later when its your home time

Pom-Pom will pick you up from work, even in the pouring rain

He can’t believe you got this job and he’s so so sooo happy for you

He’ll get you a congrats card and everything!

Mythril Valley: A FFXV Startup!AU starring late 20s Chocobros. Their Dads: Crazy Rich Lucians. But, shit just hit the fan and they gotta put their Ivy League edumacated brains together to make it on their own. Facial hair, hoodies and geeking out for now, designer suits and smooches to follow…

Pilot episode synopsis under the cut! More episodes HERE.

Episode CEO stands for Cutting Everyone Off: Noctis Lucis Calum, sole heir to a huge multi million dollar media empire that is currently at risk of a hostile takeover with lawsuits up the wazoo… Our valiant only son is cut off and tasked to prove his mettle… starting with his little technology pipe dream: ARMIGER. (Current description being... a very powerful multipurpose app driven by smoke and mirrors and flying by the seat of one’s pants.) In denial of his family’s dire situation and dwindling coffers, dear Noctis seeks “inspiration” by “investing” in technology i.e. every single console and game and… a boat... a really really nice boat… (you can write it off as entertainment costs right? Right?) Lucky for him, friendship is magic, but there ain’t no “Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start” to this.

In lieu of an omake. RE: The first pic...

Moving in with the Chocobros

Here’s some domestic chocobros with you guys moving in together and shopping. Moving is stressful, but with these boys helping you it’s not so bad!

First, you guys all went shopping for furniture and decor. Prompto was all excited, testing out every mattress by bouncing up and down. While Noct on the other hand said he would go test out the mattresses too, but that was an excuse and ended up falling asleep! Prompto was gushing and squealing over all the cute decor, and bugging you guys to buy all the plushies you could fit into your cart. He even wanted to buy a jumbo chocobo plush you guys would have to get shipped over because it was so big. Gladio, not helping the situation at all was just laughing so hard it could be heard throughout the entire store. If you guys got kicked out it was because of these dorks. These boys get so distracted looking at all the new stuff, and constantly asking for your opinion on things you guys take a while shopping. Iggy is the literal mom of the group though telling Prompto to be quiet in the store, ordering Gladio to help move all the bigger pieces of furniture in the cart, and telling Noct to wake up or he was going back home without a ride. Iggy has a list and knows everything you guys need to buy for the new place. Once you guys buy everything you need, the next step was moving it all into the your new home. These boys are all sweethearts telling you not to lift a finger, and just let them do all the heavy lifting. You feel bad about letting them do all the work, so to make you feel better they let you carry pillows instead. and the mountain of plushies Prompto bought at the store While, the other boys are busy moving Noct will try to sneak away and get you to take a nap together. Once the bros finish moving the bigger stuff they finally realized Noct was gone, and found you two snuggled up together with all the plushies and the gigantic chocobo plush Prom got. It was nice and warm from the sunlight shining down though the window. Since the bros were all tired from moving they all decided to take a nap with you guys too until the sun went down.

Pocky Day!!!

Noctis:

His face is carefully blank when he brings it up, eyes looking at the ceiling as if he wasn’t nervous about how cheesy the idea was. They were at his apartment, sitting on the couch and playing video game, or rather watching him play, when he’d paused the game and asked about Pocky day. He pretended that he didn’t know what it was, rather them offer to play the game than him initiating the game.

Conveniently, there was pocky among the snacks that Ignis had brought from them earlier. The amused look that Ignis had given him had nearly made his face burn off from how quickly it had turned red. But now with them looking at him with a pleasant blush on their face, and hearing their soft laugh, it was worth it.

“Well, you take one of these…” They opened the box and pulled one out, continuing to explain the game.

Meanwhile, Noctis wasn’t paying attention. He was fixated on their lips as they spoke, and only was distracted when they asked, “So do you want to try it?”

He nodded almost embarrassingly fast, but then slowed down and put back his mask of indifference.

“Yeah, sure.” He tossed in a shrug, as if he really didn’t care. Never mind that he felt all fluttery.

“Alright, this will be a practice round then.” They then put the Pocky between their lips and raised their eyebrow, as if asking him if he was ready.

In response he leaned forward, and they counted down with their hand.

“Go!” They tried to say, but with their mouth occupied it came out muffled, but Noctis still understood. They both tried to eat the most of the pocky, quickly as possible. They had a smile in their eyes and Noctis was trying his best not to laugh at how this was actually kind of fun. And seeing them getting closer with every nibble was an added bonus.

In the end neither were keeping track of who ate the most, and instead focused on when their lips met.

Prompto:

They’d been playing all day, with teasing laughs and were actually keeping score. Both were at the citadel for the day, Prompto running through a low stress training session for the day. His S/O on the other hand would just be there for moral support, occasionally cheering to themselves when Prompto did something he was struggling with. There were frequent breaks thankfully, not to mention that there were other people there who just came by to see their friends, family, and partners as they trained. So they had plenty of company.

Every time they did see each other though, the first thing they’d call out is, “I’m still winning!”

The other would always reply with, “Get over here and prove it then!”

In reality they were both tied. And with how much fun they were having with each other were making the other couples a bit jealous. Those who were single either thought they were super cute, or felt like they had cavities.

Eventually they do run out of pocky, and just spend the rest of their time arguing about who won with light hearted smiles and adoration in their eyes for each other.

Ignis:

The S/O would have to explain the game to him and he wouldn’t really get it. Or so he’d say. Internally he’d be wondering how they could be so cute. So when they ask if he wants to play he’d end up saying yes. And then promptly cheat by breaking the pocky and simply kissing them.

“I guess I win that one.” He’d say eating the pilfered pocky while his S/O is stunned.

They end up laughing, not expecting that from Ignis, and he’d also end up laughing when they demand a rematch. But in the end, he just ends up kissing them and stealing the pocky. Somehow, they don’t mind though.

Gladio:

He doesn’t realize what day it is until he sees his S/O eating a pocky stick. They don’t realize what day it is either, until he brings it up. The game makes his S/O laugh, but then they tell him that they’re winning since they’ve gotten a head start on the box.

It’s on after that.

They take turns teasing each other and end up going through the whole box very quickly, both having a competitive streak a mile wide. So they walk to the store together, arguing about whether the half of the box the S/O ate actually counts. Upon getting more, Gladio plays keep away so he can ‘catch up’ as he put it. And that’s what makes the S/O give up the pocky they ate alone. But they’re smiling when they do.

So they go back to playing the game, each time they eat one together, lips brushing one another, they end up turning into a kiss. Eventually though, it turns into taunting each other and flat out trying to keep the pocky from each other, to try and keep their lead on each other once they realize that they’re both still mentally keeping track. It very quickly turns into a chase/race back to Gladio’s place, with the winner being who won the game.

Oh you write for final fantasy! Could i get a noctis x reader x ignis where after he wakes up from his 10 year sleep he finds out his former girlfriend got married to ignis and they have a toddler. I really love angst!

I’m back!! I’m writing again, and hopefully consistently. I’ve got a couple stories lined up and ready. I hope you guys enjoy these next few stories. I’ll open requests soon! Also, apologies anon for taking so long to write this one out, please enjoy!! o((*^▽^*))o

pairing: Noctis x Reader x Ignis

words: 1.2k

When Noctis had awakened ten years later, the world he had come to love was covered in darkness. Demons at every corner and place he could think of. A certain sadness took over him as he thought his friends and y/n. His heart ached for them all, and he had hoped they were all safe and were able to survive this.

So, imagine his surprise when he sees a car come down the road and it’s Talcott in the driver’s seat. Noctis was grateful for Talcott and was happy to see him alive. There was also a sense of ease that washed over him as Talcott explained what had happened over the last ten years. His friends were surviving and battling in the darkness waiting patiently for his return, although all his hope was on y/n. He was hoping, wishing that maybe you had waited for him. Upon arriving at Hammerhead though, he realized that Talcott didn’t explain everything.

He was greeted with very happy friends as they said their hello’s and scurried him inside the diner. Loud voices bouncing off the walls as they tell tall tales. Noctis felt such a huge wave of glee wash over him as he saw his friends. He felt so comforted by their presence and was eternally grateful for them. But he couldn’t completely relax, he hadn’t seen y/n yet.

“Where’s y/n?” Noctis asks and his friends' laughter dies out. He sees the tension and for a moment he thinks something terrible has happened. That y/n didn’t make it, some daemon had killed them. When was it, ten years ago at that establishment? Or, was it when he was in that stupid rock crystal waiting to get out?

“Nothing bad has happened to her.” Prompto speaks up as he notices that they were quiet for too long. Noctis feels some of the weight on his shoulders lift but it’s not enough. He feels tempted to ask again, but Ignis makes the move to put a hand on his shoulder and comfort him.

“She should be here in a minute. She was out when we received news that you were here.” Ignis’ voice brings him comfort. He knows that she’s safe and more than capable to take care of herself. A former Kings glaive, who joined him and his friends on a secret mission of her own. He could only imagine just how graceful she could be now with a blade in hand fighting daemons.

The conversation picked up again, only to die down not too long after as they heard rushed footsteps coming towards them. Noctis’ tenses and his friends continue to stay relaxed, a small smile coming to their lips knowing who it was. Y/n comes to the doorway a little breathless but beautiful. Her hair a little messy and her face is covered in some dirt, but breathtaking as he sees her.

“Noctis!” She cries out his name, and he knows his heart beats faster at her voice. “You’re back. Welcome back.” Everything she says is almost breathless as she walks towards him. Noctis can only smile as he sees her.

“It’s good to be back, sorry for the wait.” The two envelop in a large hug as y/n laughs.

“Took you long enough.” Y/n retorts, pulling away from the hug. Giving him a rough pat on the shoulder as everyone now starts to chime in. Voices loud and bouncing off the walls with much more vigour as they talk about their exploits and what they’ve done. However, your behaviour is so different from before.

Noctis’ notices how you lean in closer to Ignis compared to him. He remembers it differently ten years ago. It was him that had captured your heart so long ago, was it possible that you didn’t love him that way anymore? Had Ignis won your heart while he was gone? His doubt, his suspicion is only confirmed the longer you linger by Ignis’ side.

There’s a glint of light, and then he sees the band of gold around your finger on your left hand as you raise to cover your smile. A smile that had made him fall for you all over again. His mind went into overdrive, you were married. To who, Ignis? Did the two of you get married while he was stuck, tucked away in a rock? Anger had filled up inside him, how could you just abandon him and go for his friend? Was this your plan the entire time?

“Is Lucis asleep?” Ignis whispers to you and Noctis’ barely hears it. Gladiolus and Prompto shouting loud but not loud enough to drown out their whispers.

“He is, although I’m sure he’ll be upset when he finds out Noctis was here and he didn’t get to see him.” You whisper back and Noctis’ heart just sinks.

You had a son with Ignis. That’s it. You had moved on without him even knowing. He felt numb. You were the love of his life, but the fates were cruel against him. He had lost his family, Luna and now you. It would seem that the world was dead set on making things horrible for him. His eyes burned as he tried to sort through his feelings but he wasn’t quick enough. Prompto quickly caught sight of his misty eyes.

“Noct? You alright?” Prompto says gently and he lets go of his tears.

“I’m very happy to see everyone here and alive.” Noctis said as his voice shakes, trying to mask his feelings for different ones. Even though the tears weren’t for what he said, he is still grateful that they’re alive. So when tears catch in his friend's eyes, even yours. He isn’t surprised by the big group hug he receives.

Everyone cries for a bit as they hug each other tightly, knowing what’s about to happen next after the fun and the homely conversation ends. Although, all Noctis can think about is your and Ignis’ child. How old was he? Could he walk, crawl? He’s surprised when you tug him away from the crowd as they get ready and plan for what will happen.

He asks where you’re taking him but all you do is shush him to be quiet. So, he follows behind you mindlessly, albeit heartbroken. When both of you arrive at the desire location he is brought inside a room with a large bed with a small child in the middle of it.

His eyes widen and he realizes why you brought him here. Noctis looks to you in surprise and all you can do is smile. You look to the ground for a moment before looking back up at him.

“I’m sorry I didn’t wait for you, but I know that you’re here now and I would regret that you couldn’t meet my son. His name is Lucis,” You whisper wish such emotion it takes him back. You look from him to your son as you continue. “he’s named after you. Lucis Caelum Scientia.”

There’s a sharp pain in his chest as he hears the name. Noctis is close to tears as he stares at the little boy who so closely resembles Ignis and you. For a moment, he wonders, if you had waited what would yours and his children look like? But it’s nothing but a fantasy at this point. He turns from the child to you and his heart just continues to break as he sees the love in your eyes as you stare at your son.

He never had a chance, the fates wouldn’t allow him to have one. He could only hope, that maybe in another future he could have you in his arms and call you his wife, but it’s all he could do.

Mine (Chapter 8)

Genre: Angst, Romance

Synopsis: Daughter of a Niflheim soldier, you were sent out to Tenebrae to spy on the Nox Fleuret family and their involvement with the Lucis Caelum family. However, after learning the truth about Niflheim, you betray them. Your journey of revenge begins after learning of the death of your adoptive sister, Lunafreya, and your childhood friend Noctis Lucis Caelum.

First Chapter

Previous Chapter

Next Chapter

A/N: Wow. Another update. Boom. Anyways. Stuff is heating up! Not much revealed in this chapter BUT NEXT CHAPTER?! Oh ho ho ho. Just wait. Anyways, enjoy. Thoughts about this story is always welcomed and my inbox is ALWAYS open! ^^

Pretty.

That was how an eight-year-old Noctis described a nine-year-old Y/N the first time he saw her. Though told she was part of the Nox Fleuret family, she differed from the rest of them. Blonde hair and blue eyes were the dominant features of the Nox Fleurets and every descendant from the family seemed to either possess one or both. However, Y/N, she lacked both features. Her hair was a rich, dark brown that appeared to be black from a distance and her eyes were a light brown that appeared almost hazel when the sunlight hit them just right. She also was shorter than her family members, often having to look up to Lunafreya whenever she addressed her. Y/N also seemed to lack the overt politeness and poise the rest of the Nox Fleurets held. She was more laidback and didn’t seem to take her status as a princess seriously. Noctis knew something was off with her when he first laid eyes on her but, for some reason, he could only think of how pretty and different she was as Queen Sylva introduced him to the two girls.

The young prince had watched on as the girl questioned who he was before being hit by her bowing sister. She apologized as she immediately dropped into a bow. Noctis’s eyes shifted from the older girl to Y/N just as she glanced up in his direction. Again, the word ‘pretty’ floated to his mind as he nervously shifted his eyes away from her. As he did, however, he saw the blonde one walking towards him with a gentle, bright smile on her face and the young prince felt his heart stop at the sight of her. Noctis felt himself blush as the girl introduced herself as Lunafreya or Luna as he would call her. He felt comfortable around Luna, but with Y/N, it was different. There was something about her besides her looks and lack of royal politeness that made her different from Luna and her family. But a young Noctis couldn’t place his finger on it.

Beautiful.

That was how Noctis – and Prompto- -described Y/N when he saw her in person for the first time in 12 years at Takka’s diner. She was covered in bruises and her arm was bandaged and the clothes she wore were slightly tattered. Her dark hair that he knew used to reach the middle of her back but kept in a neat bun because of her princess status, was now cut into a medium-length blunt bob with the tips of her hair barely brushing her shoulder. He couldn’t see her eyes to see if they still sparkled a hazel color in the sunlight nor could he tell from her sitting at the booth if she still lacked royal etiquette. However, he knew it was her as he noticed the permanent ‘x’ scar on her neck that Lunafreya had told him about in their letters to one another. Without thinking, he had approached the woman who engulfed him into a hug and cried into his chest after recognizing who he was. Beautiful… that’s all he could describe her as when she sat with him and the other guys as she told her story of how she ended up in Hammerhead; Noctis’s azure eyes burning into the woman as he stared at her.

Beautiful was all he could think of when she descended the stairs in Lestallum with her new clothes – one of the items belonging to him. He had felt his heart speed up as it did whenever he received a new response from Luna. Noctis didn’t understand why as he didn’t hold any romantic feelings towards Y/N. Her sister, Luna, was his love. Noctis was almost entirely sure he loved Luna. Even though he was being forced to marry her, he didn’t mind it as he would finally be with her again after 12 years. He looked forward to holding the blonde woman in his arms and be able to feel her warm touch again.

But, if he loved Luna as much as he thought, then why did he catch himself staring at the youngest member of the Nox Fleuret family when she wasn’t looking? Or why when Ardyn demanded her to ride with him on the way to the Titan, he became defensive of the girl. Why did his heart pound whenever she showed concern for him – often putting herself in danger to protect him? Noctis was confused. Couldn’t one think someone was beautiful without holding romantic feelings for them? Y/N was beautiful… but he loved Luna, right?

“We can’t…” Noctis watched as the 21-year-old woman cleared her throat, “Can’t be friends.”

That’s right. They couldn’t be friends. Those words rang throughout his head. The same words that were said to him when he was eight were now being repeated by the same person 12 years later. The pretty girl that an eight-year-old Noctis desperately tried to befriend so he could get closer to her and stop admiring from afar. The pretty girl that Noctis gave up on when she denied their friendship and decided to refocus his feelings on the one who did show him friendship – Luna. However, it was the beautiful woman that began to reawaken his slumbering feelings for her. Though Noctis claimed to love Luna, he often wondered if he was in love with her. He wondered this even more as of late with Y/N traveling with them. But when Y/N reminded him they weren’t friends, all Noctis could do was chuckle at it. Of course, they weren’t friends. They never were. They never will be, no matter how much Noctis tries to get past the woman’s protective barriers. He was meant to be with and love Luna whom he could only hope loved him back. Y/N was just his…

“That’s fine. We’re in-laws, instead, right?”

~!~

Ravus’s POV

“Here’s the car, commander,” An Imperial soldier announced to Ravus as he approached the group. He nodded his head at the soldier to thank him as he continued to approach the car known as the Regalia. The soldiers stepped aside as Ravus opened the car door and began to search the car. He had to find something, anything, that let him know his sister was alive and with the boys. Though the chancellor confirmed Y/N’s wellbeing and safety with the boys, Ravus was still hesitant in believing him. Sometimes Ravus felt like Ardyn couldn’t be trusted. The surrounding soldiers watched as Ravus pulled open the glove compartment and began to search. He let out a frustrated sigh as he only seemed to come across maps, pain meds, and other useless things. If Y/N was traveling with the men in this car, wouldn’t there be some sort of sign of a female presence?

“Commander, may I ask what it is you’re in search for?” The voice of Ardyn filled Ravus’s ear. Immediately, he turned around from the car to face the burgundy-haired man. “It’s rude to go through others personal belongings, is it not?”

“Where is she? Where’s Y/N?” Ravus snarled at the man as he removed himself from the car and walked briskly towards Ardyn. With a blink of an eye, Ravus balled his fists into Ardyn’s shirt as the older man just let out a chuckle. “What the hell is so funny? You said she was alive!”

Ardyn gently patted Ravus’s fists as he smiled innocently at the blond man. “Ah, this is still about your missing baby sister? I said she was fine, did I not? In fact, I met with her about a week ago. Feisty one, is she not?”

“What did you do to her? Where is she now?” Ravus tightened his grip on Ardyn’s shirt. The man was too calm for his liking. The chancellor was well aware of Ravus’s worried feelings for Y/N. Hell, one of the reasons he ordered for the Regalia to be stolen was not only to prevent the chosen king from reaching Lunafreya, but as well as seeing if there were any signs of Y/N.

“I don’t appreciate the hostility, high commander,” Ardyn grabbed onto Ravus’s hands and shoved them away from his shirt. With that, Ardyn began to walk away. “When you calm down, we can talk-“

“Where the hell is my sister!?” Ravus furiously yelled towards the man.

“Instead of worrying about Y/N, shouldn’t you be worried about your blood sister who is giving her life for the chosen king? My… to lose a mother and soon a sister… must be infuriating. And all for that nonchalant crown prince the Gods decided were worthier of the ring of Lucii than you. Tsk, what a shame. How’s that prosthetic arm of yours, Commander?” Ardyn chuckled as he turned around o face Ravus, tilting his hat to bid him a farewell. “See you around.”

Ravus balled his hand tight fist as he watched the chancellor leave. Letting out a frustrated scream, he balled his prosthetic hand into a fist and slammed it into the passenger’s side door of the Regalia, causing a decent size dent to appear. This caused the car to shake violently and a piece of paper that had been resting atop the sun visor to fall. Blinking, Ravus removed his arm from the car and picked up the paper to see it was a picture. His blue eyes widened as he saw Y/N sitting beside Noctis, her eyes in bewilderment as if she wasn’t notified the picture was going to be taken. Noctis seemed to have a slight smirk on his face as his eyes met contact with camera’s lens. Ravus grasped onto the picture as tears filled his eyes. It was true. Ardyn wasn’t lying. Y/N was with Noctis. She was alive. He had to tell Lunafreya. He had to get back to her. But first, not before seeing with his very eyes that Y/N was in good hands as she traveled with the chosen king.

~!~

Your POV

“Are you sure you’re not gonna come with us to see Ramuh, Y/N?” Prompto asked as he attached his bag on his chocobo, preparing to set out for the journey. You just leaned against the trailer’s door, protecting yourself from the rain, as you nodded at him. “What are you gonna do while we’re gone?”

“I don’t know. Maybe I’ll run some solo missions or something,” You shrugged as you flicked your eyes over to Noctis. He was attending to his chocobo, however, feeling someone looking at him, he glanced in your direction. Quickly, you shifted your eyes back to Prompto as your face turned red slightly. Prompto seemed to have caught what had happened as he arched a brow at you.

“It would be dangerous to go alone…” Ignis frowned at you. You returned the same expression.

“You’re not gonna just up and leave are you, princess?” Gladiolus laughed as he exited the trailer from behind, roughly placing an arm around your shoulder. You just smirked up at him.

“Why would I tell you that?”

Letting out another chuckle, Gladiolus removed his arm from around you as he reached in the pocket of his vest and removed his phone. Grabbing your hand, he placed the device in it. “To make sure you don’t go anywhere, keep a look out in case Cindy calls saying she’s located the car.”

“I could easily just leave this here and take off, ya know?” You looked up at the muscular man. He just smirked before ruffling your hair and pushing past you.

“I have more faith in you than that,” He said as he turned to face Noctis and the others. “Are we ready?

“Yes! I can’t wait for this weather to lighten up!” Prompto excitedly said as he propped himself up on his chocobo. The bird squawked from the sudden added body weight but Prompto just patted its head to calm it down.

“Then we’re off,” Ignis said as he yanked the reigns on the chocobo to signal it to begin moving. You watched as they all began to ride off towards the mountains where Noctis had to receive the blessing of the god, Ramuh. Before the events of last night with Noctis, you had the intentions of going to visit the storm God as Gentiana had mentioned Lunafreya had visited him about a week ago. Ramuh, from what Lunafreya and Gentiana told you, was one of the more friendlier Gods. One wouldn’t believe so since He controlled the vicious storms that hit Eos every now and then, but he was kind. You wanted the God to tell you for Himself that Lunafreya was doing fine and looked well. You knew she was worried about you, but you hoped that didn’t influence her health. Also, you wanted to ask Him about the vision the Titan made you have the other day. When and where did the Empire capture you? Where were the others? You held so many unanswered questions.

However, you couldn’t go today. You needed to be away from the boys – from Noctis. You couldn’t explain what came over you last night as you sat out in the rain talking to him. It was a feeling that you haven’t felt since you were nine – when you first met the crown prince. He made you feel as if the air was being sucked from your lungs and your heart had forgotten how to function properly. You had become lightheaded as all your surroundings seemed to only focus on Noctis. He simply was trying to get you to open up to him but the only thought in your head was to run – run like you did so long ago when he wanted to be friends with you. You couldn’t be his friend, however. His sister-in-law was all you’d ever be to him. Even if the tiniest part in you may have wanted-

Ring! Ring! Ring!

You snapped from your thoughts and focused on your vibrating hand as Gladiolus’s phone was ringing. Great, were they calling to check up on you already? They’d only been gone for about five minutes. Rolling your eyes and not checking the ID on the screen, you answered.

“What? I’m still here,” You frowned.

“Uh… nice to hear you’re doing well, darlin’! How’s the wound?” The cheery, country-laced accent of Cindy filled your ears. Immediately, you perked up as she could only be calling to deliver news about the Regalia. This was the first time Cindy contacted you guys first in weeks regarding the car, so something must’ve finally came up.

“Sorry! I’m fine! What’s up?”

“My crew spotted the ole’ girl yesterday. Said she was being held captive nearby by-“

“Imperials…” You gritted your teeth as they were the only ones who could’ve possibly taken her. It had to be Ardyn’s doing as you originally assumed. The chancellor wasn’t slick.

“You got it! So, uh, you and your princely crew better get to her before they do something to her that even I can’t fix, ya hear?”

“I’ll let them know when they come back…” You sighed as you turned your body to face the mountain they were currently climbing up to meet Ramuh.

“Oh, alrighty then. See ya’ll soon, I guess!”

“Yeah…” You said as you removed the phone from your ear. She said the car was nearby. Wouldn’t it be a surprise if you went to fetch the car and have it waiting for the boys by the time you got back? That, and it’d give you the opportunity to give the Empire a piece of your mind for all the shit they’ve put you through these last couple of weeks. The fight with the imperial soldiers from when you first met up with Noctis and the others wasn’t enough for you. You wanted to watch them suffer. Besides, if you get the car and bring it back in time, the faster you guys would be on your way to Lunafreya.

Agreeing to yourself that this was a good plan, you walked over to the chocobo pen where the yellow bird you had been riding since your arrival rested. The owner of the post was there, tending to them and making sure they were okay.

“Excuse me…” You asked as you approached the aging man. He turned around and gave you a grin as he recognized you.

“Hey there! Lookin’ to take the ole girl for a ride? Where you’re friends?” He asked as he looked behind you.

“They’re on a mission. Can I borrow her? I need to go somewhere.”

“Where ya goin’? Shouldn’t you wait for your friends?”

“No, look, can I use her or not?” You frowned at the man, your patience wearing thin. Why was he asking so many questions? You understood that these birds or whatever were like his children, but you wouldn’t put the animal in danger.

“Well…” He glanced to your chocobo who seemingly was squawking at you as if she wanted to help you. Well, that’s how you interpreted it, anyway. “Just tell me where ya goin’ so I can tell your friends when they come back.”

“Just tell them I’m going to get us a better mode of transportation,” You said as you pushed past the man and opened the gate for your chocobo to come out. Immediately, she came running out and stood by your side. You threw the bird a soft smile before gently petting her. “If they need me, tell them to call me.”

“Well, uh… okay?” The owner blinked at you. “Be careful, young lady.”

You smirked as you hoisted yourself onto the bird. The only ones who needed to be careful were the imperials who weren’t expecting your visit.

~!~

“Stay here, okay?” You whispered to the chocobo. She let out a whimper as you glanced at the imperial base from the intermodal container you hid behind. Evening had started to come as the sun began to set for the night, however, this wouldn’t stop you from retrieving the Regalia. You had originally plan to go onto the base and kill anyone – and thing - you saw on sight but after realizing that there were possible hundreds of soldiers inside, you thought it would be better for you to sneak in, find the car, and maybe take out a few soldiers or so. You couldn’t return the car if you were dead, right?

The chocobo nudged her head against your arm as she looked at you with worried eyes. You let out a chuckle as you stepped away from the bird and quietly summoned your daggers, startling the bird. “Listen. I’m gonna be fine. Go back to the post, okay?”

The bird hesitantly backed away as you heard the gate that would lead inside of the base opening. It was time. Shooing the bird away, you stealthily moved in between the large containers to avoid being caught as you neared the gate. Just as they were about to shut it, you quickly ran inside, taking cover behind one of the many large, black containers they had. Glancing around the area, you looked to see what the next safest move was. Noticing another large container on the other side of the base that was near a closed gate, you decided you that should be your next move.

Just as you were about to move, however, two soldiers came walking in your direction. You squinted your eyes to see whether if they were human or magitek. It didn’t matter either way, you could easily take the out.

“Here goes nothing,” You said to yourself as you climbed onto the container. The soldiers immediately took notice of you and aimed their guns in your direction. Their eyes glowed red which alerted you they were magitek. As they shot towards you, you hopped from the container and threw your dagger straight towards the eyes of the soldier on the left, making direct contact. It let out an agonizing scream as it fell to the ground and began to die. Ignoring it, you charged towards the other soldier, sliding on the ground and going between its legs as it repeatedly shot bullets at you. You propped yourself up and swung your leg around to knock the thing to the ground. Jumping up, you kicked the gun away from the soldier and stood over him. Without hesitation, you took its head into your hands and twisted it all the way around until it faced you. You briefly searched its emotionless glowing red eyes before plunging your other dagger into its right eye before it could knock you off. You hopped away from the magitek as it began to disintegrate, a black cloud surrounding its body. Smirking, you held out both of your hands, your daggers easily returning to them.

Focusing back on your mission, you ran towards where the closed gate was. You pressed your body against the frame of the gate as you peeped through the red lasers to see what was on the other side. Your eyes widened as they landed on the Regalia. However, it was being heavily guarded by imperials and their large machinery. The imperials you could handle but it was the large machines with automatic guns attached to them as arms that frightened you. You saw the damage those machines could do in previous battles with the boys. At least then you had their help. For the first time, you were regretting going alone to retrieve the car. But you were here now. As long as you waited for the coast to clear, you could get to the car without being seen. Going with this mindset, you quietly unlocked the gate and snuck in to hide behind one of the containers again. You peeped around the corner to see soldiers, obviously human, laughing around near the car as the magitek ones guarded the area. You couldn’t help but wonder if they snooped through the car or stole something out of it. The thought of them going through the guys’ personal belongings angered you. However, you couldn’t act yet. You had to wait for-

Ring! Ring! Ring!

“Hey! What was that?!” You heard one of the soldiers ask as they lifted their guns, ready to shoot at whoever the intruder was. Your eyes widened as you desperately searched your pockets for Gladiolus’s ringing phone. How the hell did you forget to turn it off?

“Who goes there?!” A soldier who was nearing your hiding spot shouted. Finally getting the phone to shut up, you quietly began walking to the opposite side of the container from where the soldier was approaching.

“If you do not surrender, we will be forced to shoot!” Another one called out. What you didn’t notice, however, was one of the magiteks guarding the area, climbing onto the very container you hid behind. Its red eyes immediately noticed you and yelled out an ear-wrenching scream to alert the others it found.

“Fuck,” You said as the magitek jumped from the top and landed in front of you. Immediately it began to swing its axe at you which you avoided with ease. However, gun shots rang around you as more soldiers began to locate you. Your heart racing, you ran towards the magitek and quickly took it down. Running, you removed yourself from your hiding place only to see that you were surrounded by at least 40 imperial soldiers and their machines. Your heart raced in fear as you eyed them. You knew you only had one option and that was to fight. At least you would die fighting instead of giving up.

“Lunafreya…” You whispered your sister’s name as you brought your right ring finger to your lips and pressed a kiss to the ring that you held dear to your heart. “Watch over me.”

With that, you let out a scream and took charge towards the soldiers.

~!~

Noctis’s POV

“She said something about getting a better mode of transportation? But ole’ girl came back hours ago without her,” The chocobo owner explained to the boys when they returned from their meeting with Ramuh.

“A better mode of transportation?” Prompto gave the others a confused look before widening his eyes. “You don’t think…”

“Cindy found the Regalia…” Ignis said as everyone began to process what that meant.

“Let me try calling her. She wouldn’t have gone to get the car by herself, right?” Prompto let out a nervous laugh as he began to dial Gladiolus’s number. The guys’ held their breaths as they awaited an answer but to no avail. They knew she didn’t answer when the color drained from Prompto’s face and fear began to take over his eyes.

“Fuck! We have to go, now!” Noctis yelled to them as he ran to get his chocobo. Without thinking, he immediately climbed onto the bird and tried to take off.

“Hold up, your majesty! Calm down. We don’t even know where she nor the Regalia are! Let’s try calling Cindy first to get an idea,” Gladiolus said as he blocked the path of the prince whose nostrils flared in anger. His eyes, however, were filled with worry.

“I’m calling her now,” Ignis said as he held his phone up to his ear. Noctis’s heart pounded in his chest as thoughts ran through his mind of what could happen to her. Imperial bases were filled with soldiers and machines way stronger than anyone could handle on their own. What made her think she could take on that many at one time? Was her anger towards Niflheim that deep seeded that she’d rather die before meeting up with Lunafreya again? Speaking of Lunafreya, how would Noctis explain to her that her sister died by the same people that took her mother’s life? He had to get to her before it’s too late.

“Thanks Cindy,” Ignis said as he hung up the phone. “She’s at an imperial base not too far from here. I suggest we hurry. We can track her using Gladio’s phone.”

“I’m already on it,” Noctis said as he geared his chocobo from around Gladiolus and took off down the dirt path.

~!~

Your POV

Your eyes grew cross-eyed as your daggers went flying in every direction, finding their way back to you as you tried to avoid the numerous amounts of gunshots, axe swings, and fire bombs being targeted at you. You’d taken down several soldiers already but not enough as you were too busy trying to defend yourself instead of focusing on direct targets. Just as you rolled out of the way of another bomb being thrown at you, a bullet hit you in the same arm where the bullet wound from the train was healing. You screamed in agony as you grasped your arm and rolled onto your back. Your daggers disappeared as your mind went from focusing on them and to the pain in your arm. Imperials began to surround you, ready to shoot, as they saw you writhe in pain. You gritted your teeth at them as you tried to refocus on your daggers coming back. However, instead of the blue light of the daggers appearing, another one did instead. Your eyes widened as a sword magically wiped out three soldiers before Noctis appeared to reclaim it. Gun shots and swords clashing with one another soon followed as the imperials turned their attention away from you and to, who you assume, Prompto, Gladiolus, and Ignis. Noctis swiftly took out the surrounding soldiers and warped to your side. You flinched as he easily lifted you from the ground and warped you over to the Regalia.

“Stay here,” He said in a tone you quite couldn’t understand. His voice was always deep but just then it sounded deeper and more… irritated? Ignoring it for now, you nodded your head at him as he removed a bottle filled with green liquid and shoved it at you. “Use this. Just break the bottle.”

With that, he warped away from you and into the battle to assist the others. You eyed the green drink wearily as you swished around the liquid inside. Confused as to why he wanted you to break the bottle but deciding not to question it, you squeezed the bottle into your hands, its glass shattering from the pressure. However, instead of having a bloodied hand filled with glass, the liquid absorbed into your skin as you glowed green for a second. The pain in your arm died down immediately and a plop of metal could be heard hitting the floor. You glanced down to notice a bloodied bullet lying beside you. Eyes widening, you removed your arm from the sleeve of your jacket and noticed the wound had been completely healed. It was as if you were never shot to begin with. Feeling yourself regain strength, you summoned your daggers as you hopped out of the vehicle and put yourself back into action. The boys had already wiped out half of the soldiers and their machines, leaving only a few to be taken care of. Though you wouldn’t admit it aloud, you were grateful they had come when they did. How they found you would have to be something you’d ask later.

“Y/N! Are you okay?” Prompto shouted over to you as he dodged a bullet being shot at him. He retaliated by shooting back at the imperial with a direct hit in between his eyes.

“I’m fine,” You responded as you continued to fight alongside the boys. Imperials came running in left and right as more took notice of intruders. You and the guys were losing energy with all the fighting but giving up wasn’t an option. You guys were determined to retrieve the Regalia.

“There’s too many of them,” Gladiolus let out a deep breath as you all ran to huddle next to each other in front of the Regalia. You struggled to keep your eyes open as you stood in a defending stance alongside them as more soldiers approached the group. You weren’t kidding when you had said there were hundreds of them within the base.

“Hold your fire,” a voice you recognized all too well suddenly shouted. The guys’ eyes widened as they watched the imperials immediately drop their weapons and began to make a path for whoever commanded them to walk through. Meanwhile, a fire raged in your eyes as the blond man began to walk towards the group.

“Uh… guys…” Prompto said nervously as the sight of the man menacingly approached the group.

“Long has it been, Noctis…” Ravus said as he got closer to the group. Not knowing his intentions with Noctis – and obviously not trusting him after he condoned even you and Lunafreya’s deaths – you put yourself in front of the prince to shield him. Gladiolus seemed to have the same idea as he outstretched his arm in front of you both. Ravus seemed taken aback as Gladiolus shielded you from him but quickly shook it off.

“Ravus…” Noctis said in a shocked voice. He hasn’t seen your and Lunafreya’s brother since the attack in Tenebrae. You knew Ravus resented Noctis, but you weren’t aware if Noctis knew.

“I see you’ve received the storm’s blessing… as well as my sister’s…” Ravus flicked his eyes from Noctis to you. Slowly he approached you, but Gladiolus blocked him which caused Ravus to draw his sword and lift it to his neck. Gladiolus gasped as the others immediately tried to run to his defense. “Watch it. All of you.”

“Sister?” You let out a sarcastic laugh. “Sister? Are you fucking kidding me, right now?”

Ravus, without removing his sword from Gladiolus’s neck, arched a brow at you. Did he seriously not understand why you were upset? “Y/N…”

“No. Don’t Y/N me. You tried to have me killed, asshole. You agreed to letting me stay in Insomnia while knowing,” You removed yourself from behind Gladiolus and summoned your daggers and slowly began to approach your brother. Ravus’s eyes widened as you approached him, lowering his sword slightly from Gladiolus’s neck in case he had to defend himself from you. He trained you – he knew of the strength you possessed. “Knowing the Empire’s plan to bomb to the place! Knowing the hotel that I was staying at was in the bombing zone! You condoned that! But not only that, you condoned the deaths of King Regis, Noctis, and what’s the most infuriating to me, Lunafreya!”

“That’s not tr-“ Ravus shut up as you lifted your arms, beginning to direct your aim at him. He removed his sword from Gladiolus’s neck as he tried to distance himself from you. A flame engulfed your insides as the thoughts of him being okay with the deaths of so many people, the destroying of a city, but more importantly, the death of his blood sister. It was okay that he had betrayed you. You saw it as karma when you betrayed your own country, however, Lunafreya? She was a completely different story. She was the only one who you felt truly loved you besides Queen Sylva. And you would do anything to protect her from harm – even if that meant the death of her brother.

“Fuck off and rot in Hell,” You said as you readied to throw the dagger, however, you felt a pair of arms grab hold onto yours and forcefully pushed them down. You were shaking in anger as you tried to fight off whoever had grabbed you.

“Y/N,” Noctis’s voice said from behind you. At hearing him say your name, you felt yourself relax a little but the urge to harm Ravus was still present.

“Sist – Y/N, this is not the time to explain what happened or what is happening. Please, come back with me to Tenebrae where we can talk things out with Lunafreya.”

“Stay the fuck away from my sister,” You yelled as you briefly broke through Noctis’s grip, but the prince immediately grabbed back onto you, this time his arms wrapping around yours as he used his body to restrict you from moving. He was noticeably stronger than you so breaking free wouldn’t be an option. Ravus watched as Noctis held onto you and as you seemed to relax slightly in his grip. He didn’t know why but it pissed him off that you seemingly trusted the prince more so than him, your own brother. Despite the misunderstandings that were between you two presently, he never thought that Noctis would have such a power over you. You were never the type to calm down when provoked unless it was Lunafreya. Hell, Ravus knew at one point of time, you couldn’t tolerate the prince. Why did he suddenly have the same effect on you that only Lunafreya had? Someone… that was of no kin to you. Ravus frowned at the sight. Noctis had already stolen one of his sisters away from him to the point where she was killing herself to see he fulfilled his duties. Now, the Chosen King seemed to be affecting his other sister. Ravus knew all too well that anyone who got involved with the unworthy king would end up deceased.

“Heir to crown befitting no other,” Ravus said through gritted teeth as he stared Noctis directly in the eyes. “Witness his splendor and glory. All hail the Chosen King.”

Enraged with Ravus’s sarcastic words, you began to speak out only to stop as Noctis let go of you and walked towards him. “Awful high and mighty for an imperial rat, serving the enemy to hunt down Luna!”

Within a blink of the eye, Ravus gripped Noctis around his neck, choking him as he spat into his face, “I do not serve. I command.”

Ignis grabbed onto you as he saw you preparing to attack your brother again. You cursed at him as he held you back as Ravus pushed Noctis backwards - Gladiolus and Prompto immediately running to shield him from harm.

“The king’s sworn shield…” Ravus’s words seethed in venom.

“You better believe it…” Gladiolus frowned at the man.

“A weak shield protects naught,” Ravus said as he instantly raised his sword, ready to slash at Gladiolus. Your eyes immediately widened as Gladiolus just barely shielded himself with his sword. Ravus pushed down on the sword to break Gladiolus’s defense as he watched the muscular man struggle. Anger boiling inside of you, you elbowed Ignis who yelped in pain as you summoned your daggers and charged towards Ravus. Hearing your impending feet, Ravus quickly broke through Gladiolus’s defense and sent him flying back into the Regalia. Quickly, he began to block your attack. However, to his surprise, you gripped onto his sword with your bare hand and used it to flip into the air on the other side to attack. Ravus quickly used his prosthetic arm to block the daggers that were aiming for his midsection. You struggled as you tried to fight against him but to no avail. You glared up into his blue eyes that held anger and worry in them. Prompto and Ignis were tending to Gladiolus who was trying to stand back up.

“Hey!” Noctis shouted over to Ravus, who turned his attention away from you and towards him. You did, as well, just to see him summon the weapons of his ancestors he’s collected so far. You were amazed as each weapon floated around Noctis as he got into battle stance. “You wanna go? Let’s do this.”

“Should the chosen fall, that too is fate…” Ravus said as he shoved you to the ground. You cringed in pain briefly before hopping to your feet, ready to help Noctis fight him off. However, just as you were about to take charge, the sound of a voice you slightly hated more than Ravus’s filled everyone’s ears.

“I say that’s quite enough…” Ardyn said as he approached the group. You deepened the frown that was already on your face as he approached everyone. Why was he here? Ardyn walked past you and smirked as he glanced away and towards Noctis. “A hand, your highness?”

“Not from you,” Noctis grumbled as he put away his weapons.

“Oh, but I’m here to help-“

“Bull fucking shit,” You shouted towards the man. Ardyn only let out a slight laugh as he eyed you. In the corner of your eye, you saw Ravus preparing to come to your defense. This caused you to scoff quietly.

“It’s true. I’m here to take the army away. The next time we meet, it’ll be across the seas. Just so happens, we have business of our own with the sea goddess, don’t we?” Ardyn looked to Ravus who kept silent. “Fare thee well, your majesty, and safe travels.”

“Oh, and Y/N,” Ardyn said as he and Ravus began to walk away. “Don’t forget my offer. The imperials could really use an old ally.”

“Leave her out of this, Ardyn,” Ravus frowned towards the older man. Ardyn just smirked as they retreated.

As they left, you let out a heavy sigh as you looked down at your throbbing, bleeding hand. Grabbing onto the sword may have not been the best idea now that you thought about it.

“C’mon, let’s go get that cleaned up and find somewhere to stay for the night…” Gladiolus said as he wrapped an arm around your shoulder and directed you towards the car. You just nodded as you let him guide you.

~!~

Ignis decided that staying the night in Lestallum before heading to Hammerhead in the morning to repair the Regalia would be the best thing. Your hand was currently bandaged up from your wound even though you were giving another one of those green liquid bottles – which Prompto explained to you was some sort of healing potion – that healed the wound almost instantly. No one mentioned what Ardyn had said about you being an old ally to the imperial army on the car ride there. You figured everyone was too exhausted to mention it or, in the best-case scenario, forgotten it completely. The car ride was quiet, however, Noctis was out of character throughout the drive. Usually, he would be restless in the car by sitting on the back hood of the car or fidgeting in his seat as he tried to make himself as comfortable as possible in the tight space. However, he seemed to just stay closed off on his side of the backseat. You tried nudging his arm to get him to at least confirm to you he was okay, but he just ignored it. It hurt your feelings a little to be ignored by him. Was he mad at you about something or was all this shit that was going on just irritating him?

Even when you guys arrived at the Leville, Noctis went his own way by walking out as soon as everyone was checked in. You had watched him exit the hotel in worry as, one, it was raining heavily outside, and two, you weren’t sure what was going through his head. You knew all too well that when your head wasn’t in the right place, you did crazy things that could harm you or others. Gladiolus told you not to worry about him and get some rest after the long day everyone had. You were grateful the hotel had rooms available so you could have a room to yourself. The last time you shared with Iris, and though you enjoyed the girl’s company, you really wanted to be alone with your thoughts right now.

Thoughts of what was said between you and Ravus swarmed inside your head as you lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The only light that was provided in the room was the bright moon that shined through the cracked blinds. Ravus had seemed upset that you wouldn’t listen to him but, who wouldn’t be when he tried to kill not only you, but Lunafreya as well? You had every right to see the end to him. Then how he attacked Gladiolus and Noctis? The ones who were seeing that you’d be reunited with your sister? Ravus was dead to you now. He really betrayed you as a brother. It made you wonder again if you were truly a Nox Fleuret if the former prince of Tenebrae didn’t see you as one. It already hurt enough the Gods still considered you a Y/L/N. Though adopted and known to the country as a princess and part of the family, with Queen Sylva dead, did your meaning in the family die alongside her? Lunafreya was the only one who seemed to still acknowledge you but was she enough? Even herself sometimes slipped up and referred to Ravus as just her brother or even Queen Sylva as just their mom. Did you really fit in the Nox Fleurets? And if you didn’t, who did you belong to? You abandoned your last name of Y/L/N when your father disowned you. Who were you?

You stumbled out of your thoughts as you jolted upright in bed as a noise was heard from outside the halls. Sneakily, you climbed out of bed and tiptoed to the door. Creaking it open slightly, you peeped your head out into the hallway to see what the noise was. Your eyes landed on Noctis, soaking wet, trying to get his key to work to the room the boys shared next door. You heard him whisper out a frustrated ‘damn it’ as the door rejected his key once again. You watched as he shivered from being wet and continuing to fight with the door. The boys must’ve been heavy sleepers if they didn’t hear all the noise he was making. Deciding to intervene before he awakened the other guests, you slid out of the door and went up to him.

“Noctis…” You whispered to the prince. He stopped fidgeting with the door and glanced down at you. However, to your surprise, he disregarded you and went back to fiddling with the door. “Noctis, it’s not working.”

He let out a frustrated sigh as he wiped the water that was dripping from his hair out of his face. You, becoming irritated for him ignoring you and not knowing why, roughly grabbed his hand and began to drag him to your own room. He called out your name to stop as you pulled him along, but you didn’t stop until you were inside of your room with the door closed behind you. You stood in front of the door to prevent him from leaving.

“Y/N, can you move?” He asked in an exasperated voice.

“Not until you tell me what your problem is,” You frowned.

“My problem is I’m dripping wet and freezing and I want to go to my hotel room…” He returned the frown.

“That’s not the problem, Noctis. Something else is clearly wrong because you’ve been shutting everyone out since we left Ravus!”

Noctis let out a heavy sigh as he walked towards the door to get through, but you outstretched your arms to prevent him. He glanced down at you with an irritable look as he slid his hand down his face. You knew that he knew he wasn’t leaving until you got an explanation.

“What makes you think I’d tell you if you can’t even tell me what’s been going on with you?” He gritted his teeth at you.

“Noct-“

“You’re right, Y/N. We can’t be friends. Friends don’t hide things from one another. And just as I’m hiding things from you, you’re hiding things from me as well.”

Your eyes widened as you took in his words. Was he still thinking about what you had said the other night? How could you explain that to him? You already saw Noctis and the others as you friends – even Ignis who you had a strained relationship with. How could you explain to Noctis, however, that you briefly saw him as more than a friend in that brief moment? The answer was you couldn’t. He was in love with Lunafreya as she were him. You couldn’t betray your sister like that. Especially after Ravus already turned against her. Besides, you weren’t even sure of what you felt that night. Maybe those weren’t feelings for Noctis but just your heart being warmed at the idea that he cared about you. Blinking back into reality, you looked up at Noctis and took in his appearance again. He was still shivering, however, his hair stopped dripping but was clearly wet. Sighing, you grabbed his hand and pointed to floor near the edge of the bed.

“Sit there.”

~!~

Noctis’s POV

Sit there? Noctis blinked confusedly at the raven-haired woman as she pointed towards the edge of the bed. He just – sort of - explained to her why he was upset with her and she’s just brushing it off like that? He watched as Y/N rolled her eyes and exited the room towards the bathroom. Noctis stood in place as he wasn’t sure what the woman was doing. She came back with two towels in her arms and nodded her head towards the edge again to signal for him to sit there. Slowly going along with it, Noctis walked over to the edge of the bed and took a seat on the floor. In a swift motion, Y/N sat on the edge of the bed with her legs on both sides of Noctis. Noctis was confused as to what was going on until he felt the gentle touch of her hands and the towel she had brought out drying his hair. He let out a shiver as her fingers accidentally brushed against the back of his neck. Why was she doing this? Was she not going to address what he just said?

“Unfortunately… Prince Noctis, I cannot tell you what’s going on with me… if I could and still have your trust, I would… the Gods know I would…” She said quietly as she continued to dry him off. Noctis’s eyes lowered slightly as he heard the desperateness in her voice. He could hear how she wanted to tell him but something was preventing her from doing so. What could it be that would lead him to not trusting her anymore? As many times she’s risked her life in the past couple of weeks traveling with him, he had no choice but to trust.

“You could never lose my trust…” Noctis said quietly. This caused her to stop briefly before continuing.

“I don’t want you to hate me,” She let out a bitter laugh. “However, I’ll tell you one day… just… not tonight, okay?”

Noctis just nodded his head as they came to the silent agreement. Silence fell over the room as she took her time carefully drying different sections of his hair. He knew this was a habit she picked up when she was a kid. Lunafreya explained in a letter to him how Queen Sylva would take the time to towel dry her and Y/N’s hair as children whenever they got wet from the rain. After her death, Luna said Y/N picked up the habit and would dry Luna’s hair whenever it got wet. Luna said it was Y/N’s way of showing that she truly cared for her. Noctis wondered was this Y/N’s way of showing him she cared for him?

“My dad… I’ve been thinking about what Ravus said about how he commanded imperials to attack Insomnia… and hurt Luna… and kill my dad…” Noctis spoke, breaking the silence between the two. Y/N’s hands stopped moving as Noctis felt her shift behind him. He thought he made her uncomfortable by bringing up his dad or how Ravus wanted to harm Luna.

“You haven’t had the chance to mourn your father’s death… have you?” Y/N spoke softly. Her words hit Noctis hard as his eyes widened. She was right. He hasn’t had the proper time to mourn the passing of his only parent. He’s felt anger for Regis knowing this was going to happen and sending him off. He’s been angry at the Kingsglaive and others involved for not warning this could possibly happen. He’s been furious at the events that have been going on and how they’re nonstop – how he was thrown into this journey he didn’t ask for. He didn’t have time to sit and think about his father’s passing. Or how Regis made sure that Noctis lived a normal childhood as close as possible. How he would make sure to eat dinner with his son every evening, whether he had kingly duties to attend to or not. He didn’t have time to think about the times Regis would rush to Noctis’s room after the daemon attack where he suffered from night terrors and would stay with him throughout the entire night. Or when Noctis came home from school one day with a C+ grade and thought he failed his father, but Regis reassured Noctis was anything but a failure and would rise to be a powerful king one day. He didn’t think about how Regis made sure Noctis was protected at all times whether it cost him his life or not. And in the end… it did cost him his life.

These thoughts flooded Noctis’s mind as tears began to stream down his face. He missed his dad – the man who’s raised him to be who he is today and what he would become in the future. The thoughts of not hearing his voice again or him playfully agreeing with Noctis that vegetables are gross or seeing his dull face that was bored from all his meetings brighten up when Noctis entered the room. Noctis wouldn’t see that again. What hurt the most, however, was that Noctis didn’t even properly say goodbye to him. He was such in a hurry to get this road trip thing started, he brushed off his father’s words and ran towards the Regalia.

Noctis jumped as he felt Y/N wrap her arms around his neck and bring him back to the present day. She rested her head on top of his as tears streamed down his face and onto her bare arms. She didn’t say anything as she held onto him and neither did Noctis. He felt like the pain he was feeling from thinking about his dad was slowly being soothed away by Y/N’s hug.

“My mom… Queen Sylva… though not my mother by birth, I know a part of her lives through me…” Y/N said softly. “Your dad lives through you, as well. He’s always with you no matter where you go. Please don’t forget that, Noctis.”

Beautiful.

The word he used to describe Y/N was returning to his head as she held onto him, her words seeping into his mind. Slowly, Noctis lifted his arms to place his hands on top of her arms, letting her know he acknowledged her actions and words. In response, she tightened her grip around him briefly before letting go and climbing around him to get off the bed. She faced the door before turning to Noctis who was still sitting on the floor. As she did, Noctis took in her damped face and weary smile that let him know she was crying alongside him.

“Your hair is as dry as I can possibly make it. Go see if your key works now and change into something warm, okay?” She smiled at him. Noctis continued to stare at her in awe. The light from the ceiling shined down into her tear-glistened brown eyes, giving them that hazel hue that Noctis took notice of once before as a child. Her was pulled back to reveal the flesh-colored ‘x’ scar that Noctis still saw as beautiful. He felt his heart speed up as he continued to stare at the woman.

“I’d like to get some sleep tonight. So, if you could,” She motioned her hands towards the door as a look of irritability started become present on her face. However, all Noctis could do was smile gently at her. He finally understood why he thought Y/N was beautiful. Not only were her physical features attractive – but her personality, though stubborn most of the time, was just as beautiful. Other couldn’t see the real Y/N, but Noctis felt he was one of the few who could – just like Luna.

And that was why Noctis Lucis Caelum was in love with Y/N Nox Fleuret.
