Hey! Sorry I had some pre-midterm tests to deal with! :/ anyway, for the supportive characters and stuff for gladnis, could I see stuff with glaives, the other chocobros, and... up to you! (A little bit of little sister Iris would be heavenly though...)

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AGAIN, SWEET MUFFIN, I AM HERE TO DELIVER yo pizza

I don’t know if these two asks are the same person (are you? :o) BUT LOOK AT THAT. SAME WANTS, SAME NEEDS, SO I SHALL PLEASE THE THIRST. And I hope it’s ok to put these two asks together? They’re asking for nearly the same, so I thought it was ok, but if either of you have any troubles with it, you tell me, okie? :3

BUT HERE I AM, ANSWERING THIS DELIGHT OF AN ASK ALKSDJFG YES. GLADNIS DEARS, I MISSED THE OTP.

Anyways, these are gonna be shorter for each character as they’re plenty, but they’ll form one big post so I hope you like it! :3

How other characters (besides papa Regis) support Gladnis:

Noctis

My boy is…slow.

He’s really smart, he’s just…very dense.

He’s known both Iggy and Gladio since he has memory, he’s just…very, very…v e r y dense in these matters. Very. Like. Very.

Ignis literally TOLD him about his crush on Gladio MULTIPLE TIMES.

Did Noctis catch it? OF COURSE NOT. He thought Ignis just over worried about his personal relationships, and never noticed he spoke about Gladio in ways he never spoke about others. And same the other way around, Gladio also spoke about Iggy with Noct AND THE IDIOT STILL. DIDN’T TIE ANYTHING TOGETHER.

Sixteen year old Gladio, blushing crimson red, messing with his uniform: “Do you…do you think…Ignis will think i look stupid? Or…maybe…or maybe if I do something to my hair…”

Noct just be like lmao why are you so stressed over a uniform you dummy thing what does ignis care anyway lol

He knew via Ignis. And of course he didn’t get it.

“Today was really nice. Gladio and I went to the park and just spent a nice while talking…I hope…maybe we can have a second date soon…”

Noctis is like yeah that’s nice

“And it’s official now! I don’t know why, but it just makes me more nervous, but in a good way. Is it normal? I’ve never…I’m just so happy, from among all people, Gladio chose me? AMONG ALL PEOPLE NOCT.”

yeah that’s nice specs :)

Noctis thinks Ignis is just talking about friendship, and when he uses romantic terms like date or boyfriend he THINKS IGNIS IS JOKING BECAUSE WHY WOULD HE BE TALKING SERIOUSLY

noctis pl…please

He finished processing it for real HAVING TO SEE THEM KISS.

Noct was talking with Gladio, chatting chattering, then said bye. Gladio was going through a hallway, Ignis appeared, they said hello, then hugged, and proceeded to kiss.

Noctis.exe Processing data.

Ignis and Gladio spent the while hugged snuggled and talking, and smooched again.

Noctis.exe Processing, please be patient.

Ignis and Gladio held hands and started going away together.

GASP

“OHMYGOD WERE YOU FOR REAL!?!?!?!??!”

Noctis.exe has short-circuited

Noctis supports them, just acts like he doesn’t give a damn.

Noctis is The Teenage Brother; will go Ew at everything romantic they do in front of him.

Gladnis snuggle.

“Eeeeewwwwwwwwww”

Gladnis smooch.

“UGH- UUH- EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW”

Iggy pokes Gladio’s nose and Gladio proceeds to pepper his face in smoochies.

*noctis gagging noises*

Gladio may shove Noctis in between them on purpose to annoy him. There were have them, Gladnis smooching with a much smaller Noctis trapped in between their chests, flailing, screeching, completely ignored and about to explode.

Noctis is the Worst wingman.

“Hey Noct, do you think Iggy will like me in this outfit?”

“eh”

he’s busy with the face buried in a cushion while he rots in boredom, DON’T INTERRUPT HIM.

“Hey Noct. Do you think Gladio already has one of these? I want to get him one but not sure if he has one already.”

“yeah”

Yeah what? Noctis you’re not helping

Noctis does as Regis and will sometimes use his power to get these two to be together, but, unlike Regis, he won’t say shit about it and will even deny it.

The prince requires of his chamberlains in this room which is conveniently empty and there just casually happens to be a secret door for the roof on this particularly starry night.

“I. FORGOT. OK? I FELL ASLEEP EARLY, I WAS TIRED, COR NEARLY SET ME ABLAZE IN TRAINING, I FELL DEAD ASLEEP, I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT DOOR, LEAVE ME ALONE.”

Noctis is a gossipy little shit, but in a good way.

“Omg Iggy guess what today Gladio spoke about his cap ripping, see, I already told you what you can get him for Crystal Day, hm? HM? YOU’RE WELCOME.”

Also uses it to his favor.

“Ten gil and I tell you what Ignis wants to do for his birthday. He told me. Hm hm. For real. TEN GIL I SAID.”

Prince Noctis PROTECTS HIS BELOVED BROTHERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH TEETH AND NAILS, OK?

There’s this magazine that put up some tabloid stupid article that distorted something Ignis said and made Gladio look bad.

Noctis is alone in his office, feet on the desk, swinging a little on the chair, phone to the ear, and FREAKING AN G R Y.

“Yes, that’s what I said; put the article down and make another one clearing it. No, I’m not your boss, but I still request it. I will request it only once more. No? Then how much do you want for the brand? I will buy it and do it myself. Yes, I will buy it. My name and occupation? Prince Noctis CXIV, why? Oh? Aah, so NOW you want to put it down? How nice of you, guess you only needed time to re-consider it, right? It’s ok, it happens to the best of us, how kind of you.”

Ignis is trying to help Noct walk out of some place without being asphyxiated by the media, so he gets the spotlight.

“Mister Scientia! There’s rumors you and the Shield of the prince are DATING?”

Ignis freezes a little.

Noctis proceeds to let out tHE BIGGEST BURP OF HIS LIFE.

Next day tabloids “Prince Noctis BURPS LIVE! OOPS!”

The media are RUNNING STRAIGHT TOWARDS GLADIO.

Noctis is JUMPING BEFORE HIM TAKING HIS JACKET OFF AND DOING AN IDOL POSE.

“HAVE I TOLD YOU GUYS I’LL BE HAVING A BIIIIIIIIIIIG BIRTHDAY PARTY NEXT WEEK!?!?!”

Socially Awkward Ultra Timid prince Noctis actually stood there POSING for the cameras for ten minutes to get them distracted from the relationship announcement.

“Prince Noctis will host Huge Extra Most Expensive Billionare Birthday Party OF HISTORY!! WOW!!”

((big birthday party was pizza time with the chocobros lmao))

If Gladnis ever have a misunderstanding or problem, Noct is the first they go with. Noct is there to comfort them individually, and, smart boy as he is, he also figures out the mistake and plays a big role at fixing it.

“What? Oh no, that’s not what he said. Or not as you think. He meant…”

“Oh? Oh no, that’s not what he was doing!! Ahahah you dork, no! Actually…”

Noctis keeps asking “When are you dorks getting married?” to embarrass them and make them go shy.

Joke is on him when they DO GET MARRIED.

Noctis keeps complaining that how dare they be boyfriends, how DARE they be boyfriends, MAKING HIM, THE ACTUAL PRINCE, THE THIRD WHEEL?????

But whenever Gladnis have the slightest misunderstanding, Noctis is first to go SMACK SENSE BACK INTO THEM HOW DARE THEY GET UPSET WITH EACH OTHER

Noctis has also used his title to make reservations in restaurants that clear THE WHOLE RESTAURANT just for Gladnis lmao

Noct has always hated that when he makes a reservation, they clear THE WHOLE RESTAURANT like NO, why would he want to dine in an empty place!? Not like he goes out often, but he’s learned that his title has that accidental effect, so guess who’s using it for Gladnis anniversary dinners.

When they want to get fancy, or when Noct wants them to go fancy, at least. Normally they just go for noodles the DORKS

Noctis covered half their wedding without even being asked because HE LOVES THEM AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((the other half was Regis and he was so upset he wasn’t allowed to cover it all, this dummy papa))

Noctis best supportive baby bro, please hug him.

Prompto

You knew about fanboy #1, but where is fanboy #2?

In the bushes, stalking them, snapping surprise photos to show them later.

“Prompto, that’s creepy.”

“BUT IF I TELL YOU I’LL TAKE PHOTOS, IT WON’T BE NATURAL ANYMORE, AND YOU TWO SHINE BRIGHTER WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW YOU’RE HAVING A PHOTO TAKEN. I’M HARMLESS, WHY IS IT CREEPY.”

Prompto that’s not the point, just…don’t.

How Prommy knew about Gladnis, hm?

It wasn’t that exciting, pretty modern way to know.

Noctis told him via text lmao

“DUDE I HAVE GROSS NEWS, YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT.”

Nocto! >:|

Prommy’s reaction was sort of cute, though. He’s a bit sharper than Noct to notice these things, but he still didn’t expect it. He thought about the two as a couple because he liked the sassy interaction, but he wasn’t sharp enough to see it wasn’t sass, it was ACTUAL FLIRTING. He was so used to the two being good friends it just. Didn’t occur to him that it was a real thing and not just him seeing things.

Noctis tells him via text.

Prommy is gasping OUT LOUD.

He gasped so loudly and sharp he chocked onto his own saliva and fell off the bed.

He ended up repeatedly swinging the feet in the air and against the mattress and squeaking. Squeaking.

“I KNEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IT”

says the boy that didn’t know it

Prompto’s trying to talk about it all day with Noctis.

Noctis talks about it for three minutes then goes “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhhh can we please nOT”

Noct is just Like That with everything that isn’t videogames or fishing, have mercy on him.

“Dude, and who told who? Dude, have they kissed already? Does lord Clarus know, omg. Dude, DUDE, DOES LORD CLARUS KNOW OHMYGOD”

“PROMPTO I DON’T KNOW”

Prompto’s THIRSTY for gossip and news on his new favorite ship.

Prompto’s stalking them on social medias waiting for the first of them to drop the first hint of romantic something. Why? Just to squeak about it. There’s literally no other use for it.

Prompto’s now Asking and not stopping.

Training with Gladio? “WHO TOLD WHO. HOW DID IT HAPPEN. SINCE WHEN DID YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM. WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATE, CAN I KNOW THAT? HAVE YOU TWO ALREADY KISSED. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE. GLADIO, TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH”

Hanging with Ignis? “WHO TOLD WHO. HOW DID IT HAPPEN. SINCE WHEN DID YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM. WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATE, CAN I KNOW THAT? HAVE YOU TWO ALREADY KISSED. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE. IGNIS, TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH”

Arcade with Noct? “NOCT, WHO-”

“PROMPTO I DON’T KNOW”

Prompto’s always asking about their relationship to either of them when he gets the chance. He could talk about it ALL DAY and go on and on.

“Why are you so interested in our relationship, Prompto?”

“I DON’T KNOW, IT’S JUST SO WEIRD, I’M SO CURIOUS. It’s like…its. It’s you *takes a fry* and it’s him *takes another fry* and it’s…*puts fries together* and it’s you.”

…prompto, don’t.

Prompto is the Anti-Noctis.

Gladnis snuggle. Noctis goes Eeeww

*Prommy puts a hand to his chest and aaw’s*

Gladnis smooch. Noctis goes EEEEEEEEWWWWWW

*Prommy clutches chest chest and whimpers*

Ignis proceeds to poke Gladio’s nose who then proceeds to pepper his face in smoochies. Noctis is gagging.

Prommy’s hiding his face in his hands and SQUEAKING into a pillow.

“NOCTO HOW ARE THEY SO CUTE I DON’T UNDERSTAND.”

Prompto’s always doing shitty photoshop pictures of Gladnis that are ridiculous on purpose just to make them laugh.

Prom is there to yell NO when Noctis makes a mean comment.

“UGH YOU TWO ARE SO DISG-”

“NOOOOOOOOO! YOU TWO ARE SO CUTE, KEEP DOING YOUR STUFF”

“Stinky dorks-”

“NO!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVEBIRDS!!!!!!! CUTE!!!!!!!”

“EW go get a roo-!”

“WE’RE LEAVING, YOU MAKE YOURSELVES COMFORTABLE, OK, IGNORE THIS ASSHAT”

Prompto. He. He made Gladnis puppets.

Ignis is too busy, like absolutely fucking loaded of royal stuff and so he’s away and unable to reach? Aaw, don’t be sad big guy. *puppet Ignis proceeds to smooch him*

*Puppet Ignis proceeds to give Gladio a million cheesy compliments and pick up lines in an unnecessarily high pitched voice*

*Puppet Ignis is nuzzling at him and insisting on kissing*

“PROMPTO STOP”

It’s not Prompto, it’s Pocket Ignis, you rude ungrateful ass.

Gladio’s not annoyed, he’s actually pretty amused XD

Gets tired of Prompto not leaving him alone, though? Gladio’s going to be “Ok you conviced me, come here Iggy” and tries to make out with the puppet, hence making a hysterical Prompto screech and try to run away.

Same goes for Ignis. Gladio’s away on some Crownsguard or Shield training at the outskirts? Away and gone and missing?

PUPPET GLADIO IS IN THE HOUSE, BABY, DON’T WORRY, HE’LL SMOOCHIE YOU IN THE MEANWHILE.

There we have an Ignis quickly striding across the flat escaping while Prompto tries to catch up with him with his cheesy pick-up lines and pet names with the Puppet Gladio.

When Gladio asked Prompto if he wanted to be his bestman for the wedding, Prompto nearly freaking had an aneurysm the poor eager hyped thing.

Best supportive buddy ok, pls hug.

Nyx

He knew via Gladio.

Because guess who’s Gladio’s WINGMAN AYEEEEEEE

Cor, actually

BUT NOT THIS TIME. This time Nyx bby. Cor was Advice Man. Nyx was Accomplice Mate.

Gladio would tell Nyx his progress with his crush. Nyx would always listen because it was so stupidly adorable.

It started because both would take longer in the training halls than the rest so they’d often meet at the shower/dressing room, and conversation started little by little. Conversation on Ignis first came up when a sixteen year old Gladio was being a bit clumsy, dropping his stuff and putting his shirt backwards and stuff, so of course an amused Nyx had to ask.

“I’m…we’re…some friends and I are going out tonight but…there’s…there’s this guy I like and I’m a bit nervous and…”

Nyx Romantic Aid Buddy senses tingled.

25 year old Nyx thinks IT’S SO CUTE OMG THE TEENAGE SHIELD HAS A CRUSH THAT’S SO AMUSING LMAO so he tried to help

Helped Gladio gather his stuff, dress nice, and calm down by talking smooth and cool with him, and inspired him to go ask that boy out or, if not, at least impress him.

From that day on, Nyx would ask just casually how things were going with the crush, and Gladio would inform.

And it went on for YEARS lmao both as a crush and when they were already boyfriends and so on

Gladio first kept informing him of what he THOUGHT Ignis thought of him but no advances

“You know, Gladio, it’s been quite a while since you first told me of your crush and you still haven’t asked him out?”

“IT’S NOT THAT EASY TO ASK A GOD OUT IN A DATE, I’M SORRY I’M SUCH A MORTAL.”

Nyx kept encouraging him day after day after day, and it was perhaps partly the reason Gladio dared say anything. either because he was inspired or just annoyed lol

When they started talking about it, at first Nyx had no idea who the crush was and Gladio forgot to tell him alkajsd

One day when Nyx first started insisting Gladio ask him out, Gladio insisted he couldn’t do it and after a long while he just went “it’s just…it’s…it’s…Iggy? you know…the prince’s adviser?”

Nyx went .u. ohno that’s adorable best friend crush

Guess who now is not being very subtle on it (thankfully Iggy won’t notice lmao)

Every time Nyx sees Ignis now, HE FLINCHES AND GOES ALL EXCITED LIKE GASP “HELLO IGNIS :D”

Ignis is ??? h…hello mr glaive that never before spoke to me until now out of nowhere and so excitedly and daily??

Nyx can’t HELP IT HE’S SO EXCITED IT’S GLADIO’S CRUSH OMG THEY’VE SPOKEN ABOUT HIM SO MUCH HE CAN’T HELP BUT GET ALL EXCITED

Also, whenever he gets the chance, he freaking. MISLEADS IGNIS ON PURPOSE TO MAKE HIM GO WITH GLADIO.

“Mr. Ulric, would you happen to know where lord Drautos is?”

“n- YES. YES OMG YES YOU ASKED THE RIGHT GUY, HE’S AT THE EAST WING, THIRD FLOOR, MAIN HALL.”

Guess which Amicitia is holding guard in that room.

Nyx is accidentally bumping into either of them when they’re together trying to make them fall into each other into a romantic awkward hug that will turn into an adorable ask out for a date.

Nyx this isn’t a romantic tv show it doesn’t work like that you just made Gladio drop his candy

Nyx is giving Gladio A THOUSAND NOT SUBTLE SIGNS when he sees him with Ignis

Gladio is trying to have a casual, normal conversation with Ignis.

From above Ignis’ head he can see, at the other end of the hallway, a HYSTERICAL NYX JUMPING, BOUNCING IN HIS SPOT, FLAILING THE ARMS, MAKING FACES, MOUTHING SOMETHING, AND MAKING SIGNS OF “HUG HIM”, “KISS HIM”, “TELL HIM”, “YOU CAN DO IT”

Gladio is unable to focus in what Ignis is telling him because Nyx is flexing like a gorilla while making strange faces.

Nyx throws Gladio into meeting with Ignis without preparing him.

Nyx and Gladio are standing at a hallway just talking and chatting casually and GASP IGNISISCOMINGGOGOGOGOGOGOOG *SHOVES HIM INTO THE OTHER HALLWAY MAKING HIM NEARLY FALL AGAINST IGNIS*

Nyx thinks Gladio is ignoring him when he’s making signs to him so he’s now literally MAKING SIGNS TO HIM, like. A cardboard piece with a message on it NYX WAS TRYING TO GIVE GLADIO DIALOGUES LMAO HOW IS HE SUCH A DORK

Nyx is switching the conversation to Ignis if Ignis is passing by.

Gladio and Nyx are talking about some food stall they both seem to know and AH YES IT’S SO NICE YOU THINK THAT OF IGNIS, GLADIO

Gladio’s constantly made a blushing, nervous mess in these situations when Ignis turn to look and Nyx just KEEPS GOING.

When Gladio told Nyx he had finally asked Ignis out and he said yes, Nyx stood on the bench and literally roared out “Yes” to the roof with the arms open and down like a dinosaur screeching.

Every time Gladio is talking with Ignis now, or hugging him or anything, when he looks up from behind Ignis, there’s Nyx alone or with his other two friends making thumbs up and nodding and JESUS LORD CAN YOU NOT STARE GUYS, STOP.

Best Romance Aid Buddy, please hug.

Libertus

Libertus knew via Nyx.

Libertus wasn’t the slightly shaken. He had this blank face on as he kept drinking from his smoothie. Calmly put it down.

“Weren’t those two brothers?”

Libertus is still a bit lost in the royal families’ relationships.

Nyx is sharing slight harmless gossip on the situation with Libertus. Libertus doesn’t really care much but he’s happy to hear Nyx. Not like he has lots of options anyway lmao

“He ALMOST asked him out this time but he shied away again, dammit.”

“Bummer.”

“I know.”

“LIB, HE SAYS IGNIS DROPPED A HINT TODAY, THAT’S A SIGN.”

“nice”

“I KNOW.”

Libertus is busier in his own stuff and world to care about people he rarely interacts with, but Nyx’s excitement slowly catches his attention with time.

Even Libertus can’t be saved from some cute romantic story.

Eventually, it’s Libertus who approaches Nyx for the gossip.

“Yo. How is Shield boy doing?”

“THEYWENTOUTALONEINANONOFFICIALDATE BUTTHATCOUNTSASADATERIGHT OMG MY BOY IS PROGRESSING”

“Nice.”

The curiosity, of course, leads him to start spying a bit as well.

There we have Ignis standing in a hallway reviewing some papers when he feels a stare, so he turns and there, in the distance, is some Glaive that’s never spoken to him, smiling at him, and waving.

what the hell

Now every time Nyx gets all hyped because he’s seeing Gladnis interact, Libertus gets dragged along so he just stands there and stares too.

Nyx is the “IMPRESS HIM, HUG HIM, YOU’VE GOT HIM NOW KISS HIM” guy. Libertus is the kind to make *index fingers goes into the O formed by other hand’s thumb and index* signs at Gladio.

Libertus is going with Amicitia junior to get a laugh from how she talks about Gladnis.

“And the other day Ignis went to our house and he helped papa prepare dinner, and it was very delicious and I had a wonderful time, Ignis is great and I always tell papa to adopt him and sell Gladdy at the market.”

Libertus finds little Iris’ sister talk funny.

Libertus is shoving condoms into early-relationship-stages-Gladio’s pockets so they fall off while he’s talking with Ignis just to make them both embarrassed.

“Gladio?”

“I DIDN’T. PUT IT THERE, NO, IT’S NOT- NO, I REALLY MEANT JUST DINNER, THIS WASN’T- NO.”

When they do start having sexual interaction, though, Gladio just gets free condoms now and joke is on Libertus.

Libertus just wants to have fun.

Crowe

Crowe’s confused, but hell does she support that.

“I THOUGHT LITTLE GLASSES KID WAS ACE?”

Why was Nyx the only one that wasn’t surprised, where are you two dorks getting all your info from omg

Crowe noticed before Nyx told her.

Crowe’s sharp on this one. She did think Iggy was ace, but she wasn’t 100% sure because she could see the signs.

Crowe’s like (ಠ‿ಠ) every time she sees them interact after the first time he caught a first glimpse of a sign.

Sort of like how Libertus started waving hello at Ignis from afar, except she’s much sneakier and hasn’t been caught and does the creepy (ಠ‿ಠ)

Crowe’s trying to set them up every time. Indirectly.

She’s asking Luche to smack Pelna without him knowing Drautos will be watching so Drautos is chiding Luche and Pelna for their kidly fight, getting Drautos busy and distracted a bit, Cor will be curious and will approach and ask what’s going on, Gladio will look for Cor because he’s late for his training, so he’s going to ask someone if they know where Cor is, and Crowe is SO MAKING ANOTHER OF THESE LARGE PLANS TO HAVE IGNIS BE THAT ONE PERSON AT QUESTION REACH.

Crowe this is unnecessarily intrincate stop

Crowe’s giving flirting advice to Gladio, too

Glaive Trio = Gladio’s Wingmen Squad

Nyx is the supportive cheering guy. Libertus is the sexual jokes dork. Crowe is the STYLE ADVISER.

“Sweetie, you don’t want to tell him that. Unbutton the collar, your hair a bit more like…this, chin up, and you give him a look like you don’t care about anything. You grab his shoulder. And now a smolder as we practiced. Voice deep. Tone smooth, but sound a little raspy. And you say. Hey.”

Crowe’s giving Gladio a Judging Look every time he says he wasn’t able to ask Ignis out. It’s enough to make Gladio feel embarrassed and little (in a good way that makes him go YEAH IT’S NOT THE BIG THING I CAN DO IT.)

“You’re such a nerd with your condom jokes, Libertus.”

Crowe is making condom jokes, too, the double faced nerd.

Crowe is telling Gladio she could lend him her bike to impress Ignis.

“Just a problem, Crowe.”

“Hm?”

“…I don’t know how to ride this. And he does, so I don’t think he’s gonna be impressed.”

Dork.

Crowe is trying to make Gladio grab that Sexy Attitude, BUT HE’S JUST. TOO MUCH OF A NERD, HOW DOES HE HAVE ANY REPAIR.

Crowe SLAPS HIM WHEN HE SAYS HE’S NOT WORTHY OF IGGY.

“OF COURSE YOU’LL NEVER BE WITH THAT MINDSET, WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU YOU ARE? EXACTLY. WORTHY. NOW GO GET YOUR DATE WITH THAT BOY.”

((it’s nice slap, no worry))

Crowe is the dangerous (harmless) threatening friend that will insist as in REALLY insist for asking the crush out.

Nyx tells her and Libertus for the tenth time that Gladio chickened out last minute again.

Crowe is going over to Gladio.

“It’s not that hard, boy. I swear to the Six, if you don’t do it, I’ll do it for you.”

“I…I can’t…”

“…”

“Ok, I’m going.”

Crowe actually. WENT WITH IGNIS.

Gladio’s standing in the hallway internally screeching so hard his face is red and he’s about to have a heart attack while flailing all over the place, and Crowe’s getting to Iggy.

Gladio thinks she’s just kidding and will just walk past him.

Crowe’s tapping Ignis on the shoulder and now they’re talking.

Gladio’s on the floor spazzing.

He can’t live anymore bye.

Crowe’s just making casual talk with Ignis lmao just did it to make Gladio have that breakdown because AH YOU DIDN’T LIKE HOW IT FELT, DID YOU? DID YOU???? WELL NEXT TIME I’LL DO IT FOR REAL SO YOU ASK HIM OUT NOW, BOY.

Crowe’s stealing Iris when Gladnis want lonely time but don’t want Iris to like. Suspect anything kajsdka.

Crowe’s clearing the area for Gladnis when they’re all smoochie snuggly and some idiot like Luche is about to walk by.

Hey Luche. *throws a towel to his face*

Crowe is warping to Gladnis when they’re about to smooch just to startle them lmao

Crowe’s having more fun than Libertus

Sometimes, after or while making out with Ignis, Gladio looks up and Crowe’s on the other end of the hallway like (ಠ‿ಠ) *eyebrow wiggle*

Crowe no

Crowe’s always. ALWAYS. The one finding them the secret spots in the Citadel when they want a quicky.

Gets them the tools, too *eyebrow wiggle*

Good girl Crowe approves.

Cor

*HYPERVENTILATES*

DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED HERE, YOU KNOW I FUCKING LOVE COR WITH A PASSION

He knew about it through Regis because…fanboy #1 had to tell all his friends of course.

Cor is mid sandwich when Regis KICKS HIS DOOR OPEN

“CORHAPPYNEWSIGNISANADGLADIOAREOFFICIALLYDATINGNOW”

Cor still has his mouth half-opened for the bite he was about to take. Regis is welcoming himself in his office and grabbing a chair and sitting all while rambling near screeching

“YOUSHOULDHAVESEENIGNIS’FACEOMG BOYWASBEAMINGWITHJOYITWASSOCUTE HEWASLIKEANDIWASLIKEITOTALLYHAVETOASKHIMSOIDIDANDGUESSWHATHAPPENEDITWASSOCUTE”

Regis was so excited he left without having had one word from Cor.

Cor sat there in silence with the sandwich in his hands while his brain processed what just happened.

When he understood he just smiled, lifted the eyebrows, thought “who would have thought”, and continued eating his sandwich.

Have mercy on him, he’s dry and cold and a stone.

Cor was always Gladio’s Advice Man. Nyx encourages, Cor guides.

Cor is petting Gladio on the head every time he’s pining or moping about being unable to ask Iggy out.

Cor is Practice Dummy for Gladio’s attempts at how to confess.

It didn’t work lol

Gladio told Cor about his crush. IGNIS TOLD COR about HIS crush. COR KNEW ABOUT IT BEING A MUTUAL THING. BUT DID HE SAY SOMETHING. DID HE FUCKING. SAY SOMETHING.

NO. COR LEONIS DIDN’T SAY A FUCKING THING.

“Wait you knew all along? Why didn’t you tell any of us!? It would have made it much easier, we’d have known it was mutual and we’d have confessed earlier.”

“…it wasn’t my secret to tell.”

COR >:|

Cor is the most supportive uncle you’ll ever find. From afar. Very quietly.

Cor is there to support Clarus too when Clarus becomes a Lost Papa on the matter. Doesn’t understand much as Cor doesn’t have a similiar experience, but a buddy can always listen.

Cor is there to support Ignis when he becomes a little insecure as to if it’s alright to be dating someone from the second most important family of all Lucis and maybe Eos.

Cor is there to support Gladio when he becomes a little insecure as to whether or not he’s being a good partner as he thinks Ignis deserves because it never feels like he’s doing enough.

Always having his mug of coffee with him, of course.

Ignis’ parents are forcing him into extra training time?

Oh my what a shame I have no extra space for that….bUT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME INTO MY SIX PM TRAINING WITH ANOTHER MATE BUT I DON’T THINK YOU’LL HAVE TROUBLES WITH SHARING RIGHT?

Ignis himself is overdosing on work and refuses to listen even to Gladio.

Cor is KNOCKING HIM OUT. ACCIDENTALLY. DURING TRAINING. A C C I D E N T A L L Y.

Ignis is nervous about dinner with the Amicitia.

Cor secretly made sure to put Clarus in a really good mood before work shift was over.

“I’m sad. I have watch on the main hall at five, so it won’t be over in a good couple hours, and Iggy finally had some free time today…”

Cor is fucKING SNATCHING THAT WATCH. NO ONE IS PAYING HIM FOR THESE EXTRA HOURS BUT DOES HE FUCKING CARE.

Boys went out late at night and were home pretty late. Clarus was angry.

“They were at my place. Sorry I didn’t tell you.”

Cor :0

it fine they young let them live

who would have thought that under that stoic face there was such a nice devil, Cor

Cor is always number one person they go to when they want to share some Gladnis thing in conversation. It’s just so easy to talk with him, he has no expressions and doesn’t answer, it’s like talking to a lamppost.

He does give advice or comfort if needed, though.

Cor always comes up with holidays plans or discounts for the two.

“Do you look up holidays for two on your spare time just to tell us?”

“…they pop up randomly in my computer.”

Cor you don’t use your computer.

Cor is a bit too honest. Doesn’t mean any harm, he’s jsut being honest.

“You don’t want to kiss Gladio today. He’s stinky.”

COR

Cor dealing with Gladnis in the everyday

“Ok, we’re in for our sparring session today, we-”

“Cor can I go smooch Iggy? He’s over there at the window :3″

“…”

“No. Defeat me and you can”

“D:”

“Ok, today’s session-”

“*Ignis’ sad puppy eyes*”

“-is cancelled, I heard Gladiolus is at the fifth floor, go look for him and say hello for me.”

he’s not giving preferences lmao he just has to train Gladio but couldn’t resist Ignis’ unintentional sad puppy eyes. WHO IN THIS WORLD CAN.

Cor is answering for them to the media.

“Mister Gladiolus, is it true you and Ignis Scientia are dating?”

“No, we’re not.”

“No, I was asking-”

“I’m not.”

“…I was-”

“No.”

Cor sees the struggle they go through with the media and Noct jumping in to save them and thinks it’s very noble so let’s give the boy a break, and be the shield ourselves.

Cor is now bodyguard for the Gladnis in public.

“Mister Amicitia!”

“Yes?”

“No, I mean Mister Amici”

“Y e s ?”

Media tries to go to Ignis

“…m…mister…Scienti-”

Cor’s popping out of nowhere with his dead face like

“Y E S?”

Cor’s using the Gladnis to encourage them to train harder.

“If you want to save him you have to defeat me.”

“COR, NO, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, THAT’S NOT HOW- NO”

“And I’m not having mercy on you, hm”

“BUT WHY WOULD YOU PUT GLADIOLUS IN A CAGE, HE’S NOT EVEN CONSCIOUS”

Ignis is tied to the ceiling somehow

“COR NO”

“Get through me and he’ll be safe”

“COR THIS IS NOT PEDAGOGIC.”

They won only once. Because Ignis broke out of the cage. and maybe they had Nyx help. And maybe Cor was blindfolded.

He’s the Legend, you can’t just win against Cor like it’s nothing.

Uncle Cor picked Gladio’s wedding suit.

Uncle Cor will be the most hysterical loving grand uncle but we’re not there yet akldsjf

Uncle Cor good boi he approves and likes yes yes

Iris

NOW HERE IS THE TEA.

S I S T E R I N L A W I R I S

Iris the Adorable and Equally Frightening. Iris the Badass. Iris the kiddo. AS HER ROLE IN GLADNIS.

Iris was like nine or ten when Gladnis became official.

You know fanboy #1 and fanboy #2. BUT THIS IS FANGIRL #1 BABY GIRL IRIS IS ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL FOR GLADNIS.

Iris likes Ignis and has always done. She once asked Santa Crys that Clarus adopted Ignis because he’s just such a good Big Bro.

Iris did genuinely asked Clarus once to adopt Ignis and sell Gladio at the market.

She loves Gladdy wholeheartedly, it’s just Sibling Stuff.

Ignis has always been good to Iris since even before he and Gladio were a thing, and it’s always been genuine, not just that “get the little sibling love to have easier access” thing.

Ignis and Iris even spend time alone without Gladio.

Ignis has gone to pick Iris up from school.

Ignis has given Iris his jackets if it’s cold or raining.

Ignis has cooked for Iris a million times.

Ignis has been her confidant for YEARS for things she feels too shy to share with anyone else, even Gladio.

Why do I feel I’ve already written Ignis-Iris headcanons and these exact same?

Ignis constantly lets Iris use him as model for make-up or nails or hair.

Iris constantly sews plushies for him. Ignis has a whole shelf full of little and big plushies he’s been gifted.

Iris will go to Ignis if she sees him and try to drag him home since she was like seven.

Ignis nearby? Yes, papa, we’re taking him home. What do you mean no? I will feed him and make a bed for him in the living room.

Iris, he’s not a pet aksjdf

Iris and Ignis have their own little bubble and Gladio’s not allowed in, I’m sorry

There they are the two dorks. They’re talking. They’re talking about SOMETHING. What is it? What is it? YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. WHY THEY ARE GIGGLING, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.

Iris spoke so much and for so long about Clarus adopting Ignis that Gladio was a bit scared of how she would manage the news of them in a relationship because that would cut the option of adopting him.

Iris took it surprisingly well.

A bit too well.

Iris screeched.

Iris jumped out her window.

Her room is on the second floor.

It’s fine, she’s trained since little because the little shit could never sit still and Cor had to do something to at LEAST teach her to land since age 5 because the gods know this child needs to know how to land.

Iris ran around the house for an hour before she got tired and collapsed in the grass, and even there she kept flailing and screeching.

Clarus arrived home to Gladio calmly watching TV eating ice-cream while a nine year old Iris was sprawled on a side of the house like her sould abandoned her.

Iris is a Prompto equivalent of The Asker.

“HOW WAS IT. WHO TOLD WHO. WHERE DID YOU GO. HOW MANY DATES HAVE YOU HAD. HAVE YOU ALREADY KISS. WHY HADN’T YOU TOLD ME BEFORE. WILL YOU MARRY HIM. GLADDY TELL ME MORE.”

Someone is knocking on Gladio’s door at two a.m.

“Gladio have you told him you love him.”

Gladio closed the door in her face.

Iris never stopped trying to drag Ignis home even when she was already 15.

There she is, calmly going, grabbing Ignis’ wrist, and saying nothing while heading to Clarus’ car.

Family dinner at the Amicitia, nothing is going on, nothing relevant has happened for months, everyone is quiet and

*LOUD FIST SMASH ON THE TABLE*

“YOU HAVE TO MARRY HIM OR I’LL BE SO FREAKING ANGRY, GODS DAMMIT”

The happiest motherfucking day in Iris’ life was when Ignis called at her door, sat down on her floor, and said “Would you be so kind as to teach me to make a moogle plush toy myself? I’d love to make one for Gladio.”

Iris taught both Gladio and Ignis to sew moogle plushes AND SHE WAS SO HYSTERICALLY FREAKING C LO S E TO TELL EACHE OTHER “HE’S MAKING ONE FOR YOU TOO OMG THE COINCIDENCE, WHAT WERE THE ODDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Iris is fan #1 of Prompto’s Gladnis photos and is always asking him to show her.

Iris gets some of those photos framed. She’s not even gifting them to them, she’s just putting them at the livign room because LOOK AT THIS HAPPY FAMILY, THAT’S MY BROTHER IN LAW AND MY BROTHER AREN’T THEY THE MOST BADASS ADORABLE COUPLE IN THE WORLD AREN’THEYGODDAMMIT!!?!??!

Gladio is annoying Iris on purpose.

“Gladdy, I’m gonna have Iggy kick your ass.”

Ignis is very much ready to kick Gladio’s ass if Iris asks him for it.

Iris likes to cause little harmless misunderstandings between the two just for the sake of it.

“?? Ignis? I thought I’d bring the tools.”

“?? No, I was told I’d bring the tools? What are we cooking if no one brought the food?”

Iris is containing the laugh from the living room.

“Hey, I thought I’d forgotten my scarf here?”

“No, you took it home with-”

“…”

“Iris.”

“IT WASN’T ME, WHY DO YOU THINK EVERY TIME IGNIS COMES HOME LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AND DOESN’T FIND IT IT’S ME WHO TOLD HIM THAT JUST TO HAVE HIM COME OVER? PFFT.”

Iris sometimes gets gifts to give to Gladio so HE can give them to Ignis

“Iris, I already give him a bunch”

“IT’S NOT ENOUGH GLADDY”

Iris alongside with Prom is always trying to get them nice, romantic dates. Cheesy sometimes. Overly cheesy sometimes.

There you see the whole scenery Prommy and Iris put up together in a garden, a tiny table and cushions for a comfy date, in a little silk-drapes tent decored with lights, candles, and a couple flowers.

“Iris we just wanted to watch dumb cartoons”

“SHUT UP THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROMANTIC”

Not like Iggy and Gladio are complaining but omg the EFFORT

You know what sorta sister in law Iris is?

Gladio and Ignis are having a private conversation at the garden.

“Would you like to stay for dinner?”

Iris from somewhere in the universe

“WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY FOREVER”

Honestly how badass is Iris here, you pick on her, she brings forth her TWO BIG GUARDIAN BROTHERS

Iris be. Cutest most troublesome most supportive sister in law since she’s a kid, ok? SHE’S MORE INTO GLADNIS THAN GLADNIS THEMSELVES.

AND THERE YA GO AKLSDJFGKLHJAD

Also I gotta give a big shoutout to @thatonedaydream // @luvleekaotix-imagines and @ladyscientia for always putting up with me and having them look at my shit sooooo yeah. there’s some iggy fluff in there for youuuu!

It all started after King Regis saved you from the invading empire of Niflheim. You were a small child that didn’t have a family anymore. General Glauca had come and wreaked havoc upon your city, and it was ultimately decimated. You had nowhere else to go. King Regis had found you crying out in the middle of a burning street, trying to call out for your parents. But no one called out for you in return.

Your tiny body had fallen to the ground, giving up all hope for your survival. You were an orphan. But no one was coming to get you. Body numb, you didn’t even realize when a pair of strong hands picked you up from the ground and into their comforting arms. The only thing you could remember was crying into the man’s shoulders for what seemed like hours with no end.

When you got to the kingdom of Lucis, Regis immediately introduced you to his son, Noctis. He was about the same age as you, maybe a year or so older. You didn’t say anything for a week or so. You didn’t care to. Noctis kept trying, however. He wanted to make you feel at home. He wanted to make sure that you still had a family. Even if it wasn’t blood, the people of Lucis were your new family. The pair of you grew close. You did everything together. You were inseparable.

It was inevitable that you would end up falling for your best friend. A part of you knew it was wrong, but you were human. You couldn’t help it. You had feelings, just like everyone else did. You knew that things were going to end from the start. He was a prince… and well… you… were you.

As you became more comfortable with the thought of having a new place to call home and a new family, you and Noctis came up with grand plans and ideas for your future. You wished it hadn’t gone the way it did, but things just happened to go that way. He had duties as prince, and though you were working closely with the King and Cor, you knew things weren’t going to last.

Even though the pair of you had mutual feelings for each other, it was destined to never work. Especially with the Oracle around. But no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t hate Lunafreya. She was perfect. Luna had a heart of gold. She was the most pure person you could think of. And her duty, was to support the king. To support the Chosen.

After the betrothal was announced, it felt like your heart was ripped out from your chest, thrown on the ground, ripped apart, and someone was stomping on all the broken pieces then thrown into a fire to burn into nothing. You were laying in your bed, crying so hard you didn’t even notice when Noctis came into the room, pulling your broken body into his arms.

You sobbed into his chest and looked up at him, your eyes filled with pain.

“Why did it have to be like this…?” you whisper in between sobs.

He looked down and sighed.

“I don’t know. I wish it wasn’t…”

You sat up a bit, trying hard to not look him in the eyes.

“You know what this means right?” you ask quietly.

“Yeah… I do.” he croaked.

You wipe your eyes and look him in the eyes, immediately regretting that choice. You loved his eyes. You loved the way it complemented his hair… the way they lit up whenever he saw you. You shake your head from the thoughts and take in a deep breath.

“Whatever this is…” you say motioning between the two of you. “Can’t continue. You.... you’re going to marry Lunafreya. And you’re going to be so damn happy with her…” your voice cracks. “And you…. You will love her with all your heart. And you will forget about me and what we had. Our feelings for each other…” you stopped and shut your eyes tightly.

Noctis looks away, tears threatening to fall at any second. He takes your hands in his own and hold them tightly.

“I’m not going to forget about this. About us. I could never.” he begins.

“You have to, Noct.” you reply harshly. “She’s your fiancee now and there’s nothing I can do about that. And no matter how hard I try, I can’t fucking hate her because she’s perfect. And she is perfect for you. She’s the Oracle. You guys are… destined to be together.” you stutter.

Noctis shakes his head violently at the word.

“No! Fuck destiny. Fuck all of this. Luna’s great. Don’t get me wrong but… I don’t want to marry Luna. Alright, you know how I feel about you… I didn’t want it to come to this…”

“Well it did” you cry out. “It isn’t and it wasn’t ever going to work. We both knew that from the beginning. That’s why… that’s why we never actually dated, or kissed. It was to save us both some heartache. God, how could I be so stupid…?” you pull your hands away from him and pull your knees up to your chest.

“Hey…. you are not stupid. We’re human beings. We can’t help our feelings. We can’t control them. We had a connection. We grew close. Neither of us can be blamed for that.”

You knew he was trying to reassure you. But it wasn’t working. You knew you had to distance yourself from him. You felt like it was the best thing to do. The two of you hoped that Regis would change his mind. Knowing Niflheim, the treaty wasn’t going to work and the wedding wouldn’t ever bring peace. But you also feared that nothing was going to change Regis’ mind.

“You gotta to let me go, Noct.” you whisper.

“You know I can’t do that.”

You shake your head and look at him.

“You have to. Please. I don’t want to be in even more pain by you fighting for this. No matter how we look at it, we aren’t going to get our way. The world is a cruel place.” you taper off and begin to play with your hands.

“I don’t want to… It’s not going to be easy… It’s not going to be easy for me to break your heart.” he confessed.

“Well you need to. Just as I’m going to have to break your heart by telling you to move on. To forget. And to love.” you get up from the bed and open the door, signalling Noctis to leave. He gets up from the bed and walks over, looking down at you. He shakes his head a little and pulls you into a strong embrace, knowing very well that this could be the last for a long time.

You rest your head in his chest, then look up at him.

“I wish you the best, Noctis. I really do. No matter where you are, or who you’re with… I am going to support you, and I will always give you my love..” you give him a half-hearted smile and gently place a kiss on his lips.

Noctis holds you close to his strong frame and gives you a broken look.

“I will always love you, (Y/N). I always will. Don’t forget that. Ever.” he says before walking out.

You lean against the entrance of the door, putting your head against it. You walk back into your room after Noctis is out of sight. You close the door and walk to the edge of your bed, sitting down on the ground and bring your knees up to your chest, finally releasing all of your sobs into the night.

You hear a small knock on your door but you didn’t answer. You continued to sob into your knees. The door cracks open and Ignis comes into the room, closing the door behind him. He walks over to you, sitting next to you.

He wraps an arm around you as you lean into his body, holding onto him for dear life. Ignis was like your big brother. He took care of you. He always made sure you were okay, that you felt like home. You were close with him. He knew how you felt about Noctis, and he knew that he felt the same way. He helped the two of you express your feelings towards each other. Ignis was the one to always ensure you were safe, that you were completely sure that you wanted to work with Cor to protect the King. He helped you recover when you first got to Lucis. Before you even met Noctis.

“Shh…” he cooed gently. He stroked your hair and kept humming softly to help calm you down. “Things… will be alright.” he reassures. “I promise you. He isn’t going to forget about you. No matter how many times you tell him to do so.”

You look up at him and wipe your eyes again.

“Why can’t it be different…?” you whisper. “Why did it have to be like this…? Why did it have to happen to me?” you began to cry out again.

Ignis sighed and shook his head.

“I wish I had a better reason than the world is a cruel place. Sometimes… things aren’t going to work out the way you want. But you can’t let that stop you from living your life. I know, it hurts now. And it will continue to hurt for a while, but you must realize that Noctis is going to be going through the same emotions that you are feeling. You cannot think that he isn’t feeling the way you are simply because he is going to be married. However, the both of your lives will continue to go on. With or without each other. In spirit, you will be there for him, and he will be there for you. And no matter what happens, he will love you unconditionally. And he will hope the best for you. And you will do the same. That is how love works, (Y/N). Please understand that if he had a choice, he would choose to stay with you.” he tilts your chin up to look at him. “You will find someone. You will find someone to love you just as much as Noctis loves you. And you will love them as much as you love Noctis. Believe me. If we could have it any other way, you two would be together. But sometimes, people miss each other. And that is the case we have here. Don’t let it get you down. It will hurt. And it will sting. And it will stay with you as your first heartbreak. But you can make it through anything. I know you can. Don’t ever let him see you break or fall apart. It will only make things harder on the both of you.”

You sniffle and nod a little, smiling at the man sitting next to you. The brother-figure in your life. You weren’t sure what you would do without him.

“Thank you, Iggy. I mean it. You don’t know how much that means to me. I don’t know what I would do without you.” you cry a bit and hug him tightly, taking in his words to heart. You weren’t going to let him see you fall apart. For your sake and his. You couldn’t. You would let yourself have an elastic heart. And even though this marriage would pull and tug on your heart, you wouldn’t snap. You wouldn’t allow it.

Ignis continued to hold you until you fell asleep. He picked up your small figure and tucked you into bed, kissing the top of your head.

“Things will be alright, (Y/N). We are all here for you, even Noct.” he whispers in your ear before leaving. He sighs and looks at Gladio.

“She going to be okay?” he asks softly.

Ignis looks down at the ground before looking back at Gladio.

“I hope so. She’s got to be focused. The treaty will be soon. And we will not be there to help. If (Y/N) is killed… I don’t know what Noctis would do. Or any of us for that matter. (Y/N) is family.”

Gladio nods slightly. Prompto walks out of his room when he hears two familiar voices chatting away in the dead of night. He yawns and rubs his eyes, looking at the pair.

“What’s going on?” he asks, sleep still tainting his voice.

Gladio sighs and looks over at Ignis.

“(Y/N) and Noctis… they’re having a rough time right now.” Gladio says sadly.

Prompto frowns and nods a bit.

“Are they gonna be okay…?” he looks over at Ignis. He looked tired from staying up with you until you were asleep.

“I sure hope so… We need our prince focused, and we need (Y/N) focused for the task that is ahead of her. I can’t help but feel like this is partially my fault…” Ignis begins.

Prompto interrupts before he could go on.

“You can’t think like that Ignis. How the hell were we supposed to know that Regis was going to marry off his son to Luna? I mean… I don’t think any of us knew what was going to happen in the long run. Don’t beat yourself up.” he reassures.

Ignis simply nods his head.

“Well, I suggest we get some rest. We have a long journey ahead of us.”

Gladio and Prompto both nod, heading back to their rooms.

The next morning, Prompto, Gladio, and Ignis, are outside waiting with you for Noctis to come out before you say your goodbyes. You smile at the men, trying to convince the them and yourself that you would be okay. Gladiolus gives you a gentle smile, pulling you in for a tight hug.

You sniffle a bit and return the embrace, knowing you’re going to miss how much you two used to horse around. Gladiolus had a special place in your heart. He was the king’s shield. You worked closely with his father and the two of you had a special bond. Mainly due to the fact that you always made him promise to keep Noctis alive. Even so, you couldn’t help but feel like you were never going to see them again. And maybe you wouldn’t. Who knows what could happen?

“Be safe, Gladio. I’m counting on seeing you guys again.” you say weakly. “Don’t let Noctis fall out of the Regalia, okay? He’s got a fiancee to see and a wedding to do…” you smile but the words didn’t come out as happy as they could’ve.

Gladiolus looks at you with a sombre look in his eyes.

“Are you going to be okay? I think I’m more worried about you than the prince right now.” he replies quietly.

You simply nod your head.

“I’ll be okay. I promise. Don’t do anything stupid.” you laugh a bit.

He gives you a smile and nods before letting you go say goodbye to the others.

You walk over to the blonde, with hair that resembles a chocobo butt. You smile at him and hold out your arms. He gives you a sad smile and runs into your arms. You chuckle a bit, knowing how much you would miss his humour and all of the photographs he took of all of you back in the Crown City. You would miss the stupid comments and the silly puns he would always crack.

“I’m gonna miss you, Prompto. Don’t do something stupid that would get you killed, alright? And take lots of photographs. I want to see them all. I want to see all of your adventures while you’re on the road. And for godsake, go get yourself a girl. You deserve someone who will love you unconditionally. Someone who will love you even if you are from Niflheim.” you whisper. You give him a loving smile and kiss his cheek. “You really should tell them. You’re family. They aren’t going to shun you, alright?”

He nods and wipes his eyes.

“Thanks, (Y/N). You’re the best. And.... I’m really sorry about everything. I wish it were different. I really do.”

“Me too, Prompto. But it isn’t. I’ll live.” you give him another tight hug before making your way to Ignis.

“Hey Iggy.” you say, tears now longing to spill out. Goodbyes were hard for you. Especially since you never got to say goodbye to your actual family. Now that you have a chance of saying goodbye, it felt like you were losing another family. You couldn’t help but feel emotional. They took you in like it was nothing. They loved you unconditionally. You fell in love. You made new bonds. And it felt like it was all crashing down around you.

“I’m gonna miss you so much.” you sob. The emotions rushed out of you like a flowing river into the ocean. “Please be careful. Don’t lose your glasses. Whatever you do, make sure Noctis goes through with the wedding. And keep watch over Gladiolus and Prompto too. And make sure you always have enough ingredients to cook meals. Don’t starve--” you tried to keep going but Ignis cut you off.

“We’ll manage, (Y/N). You do not need to worry too much about us. I need you to be concentrated. The treaty is coming up soon. You must be prepared and focused on the task at hand.”

You take in a deep breath and nod, before crying again.

“I feel like I’m losing another family… Please… don’t die on me. I don’t think I could live through that again. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to them… and now that I’m saying my farewells to you it’s like…” you couldn’t finish your sentence.

Ignis grabbed you by the arm and pulled you into his body, hugging you as tight as he could. Prompto and Gladiolus saw this and gave each other a nod, walking over and giving you another hug. This time in a group setting.

“You aren’t losing anyone, (Y/N). We may not be here physically, but we will be with you in spirit. Always.” Ignis pledged.

“Yeah and you can always call us! And we can write each other!” Prompto adds.

“Who knows? Maybe even after the treaty happens you can come meet us somewhere.” Gladiolus chimes in.

You laugh a bit and nod, wiping your eyes off.

“You guys… are the best.” you respond. “I love you guys. Don’t ever forget that.”

They give you their best smile back and pull away when they see Noctis coming down the steps.

You look up at him and give him a broken smile. He walks down to you and the others disperse. He embraces you with all his love, and it felt like he wasn’t ever going to let go. It had hit the both of you that this was it. It was finally coming to an end.

“Don’t die.” you whisper into his chest. “Don’t you dare fucking die. And don’t do something dumb. Stay safe. Eat your vegetables. Get some sleep. Keep going no matter what happens.” you pull away a little, your arms still around his waist. “Love Luna with all your heart. Do whatever you can to live a happy life, because that is what you deserve.”

He reciprocates your broken smile. He was leaving his true love. He didn’t want to love another person, but it was his duty as prince. It pained him more than you could know.

“If there’s anything I need to tell you… It’s that I learned it’s not easy breaking your heart. And… that I’m always going to love you no matter what you say. No matter who I am with. Nothing will be the same. No one will ever come close to you. No one has what we had.” he begins.

You sniffle and smile up at him, the words stinging your heart.

“Don’t die on me. Keep yourself safe. Keep my father safe. I want to see you again. So… please. Promise me that you won’t die.” he holds up his pinky to you.

You laugh a little and shook it with yours.

“I promise.”

You give one last hug to the rest of the boys and wave as they set off in the Regalia after Noctis spoke with his father.

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

“(Y/N), a word?” Regis calls.

You nod your head and follow him outside the Citadel.

“No matter what happens during the treaty, promise me that you will not come to save me.”

You pause and look at the ground and shake your head slowly.

“I can’t promise that, sir. Noctis is going to need his father. And if you die, he deserves to say goodbye. Therefore, I cannot promise that. I could never forgive myself. This is what I’ve trained for. I’m ready to die for you, for this kingdom.”

Regis sighs, knowing he wouldn’t be able to change your mind. You were always stubborn. It couldn’t be helped. As the Imperial soldiers started making their way into the Citadel, you kept watch over everyone you could. General Glauca, Ravus, Ardyn, and Iedolas entered last, and your eyes instantly narrowed.

King Regis and Iedolas began to speak, but Regis knew the treaty was never going to happen. But you and the rest of the Lucian guardsmen and Glaive were at a disadvantage. Aldercapt drew a gun on Regis, and before you knew it, all hell broke loose.

Swords were materializing within seconds, the power of the crystal beginning to show. It only fueled Iedolas’ dream of taking the Ring of Lucii. General Glauca then began to attack the royal guard, using all of his strength to get what Aldercapt wanted. Blood began to paint the floors of the once clean Citadel. You watched as Clarus Amicitia was thrown to the wall. Glauca threw his sword and it went right through him. You cried out as flashes of your family being murdered filled your head. You wouldn’t allow him to kill anymore people. You begin to evacuate the King, and push him through the doors to safety.

You give him a nod before shutting the doors. In your heart, you knew you wouldn’t be able to take Glauca down. But you could hold him off enough to have Cor get Regis out of the city. Cor tried to talk you out of the plan, but you insisted. You weren’t going to let Noctis get married without his father being there. You weren’t going to let Regis die without letting his son say goodbye first. This was your duty. This is what you wanted to do. This is how you would repay your debt to everyone in Lucis for taking you in. This is how you would show your gratitude for everything they have given you.

You narrowed your eyes at the man in front of you. This was the man who slaughtered your parents. The one who took away your home. There was no way in hell you were going to back down, even if you were afraid. A part of you wanted the pain to end. A part of you wanted everything to be over. The suffering of never getting the chance to say goodbye to your parents… the pain of trying to be happy even though the love of your life is marrying someone else. The pain of knowing that things weren’t going to be the same no matter how anyone looked at the given situation. But their lives would go on without you. It had to.

You promised Noctis you wouldn’t die on him, and you were going to do your damn best not to. But you couldn’t let your fear cripple you. Not now. You were going to make it out alive, even if it was by the skin of your teeth. You were determined to make it out. To see them again. But you couldn’t deny the possibility that death was imminent.

Your sword materialized and you gripped it tightly, shaking slightly at the outcome that was going to happen. Glauca tilts his head slightly at you. He shakes his head slightly and leaps toward you, his sword clashing with your own. There was no denying that he was immensely stronger than you, but it wasn’t going to stop you from buying the King enough time to leave. You managed to push the big man back while maintaining your composure.

“You’ve taken EVERYTHING from me, and I won’t let you take away any more. So you will have to get through me if you want to move on.” you growl. You take in a deep breath before readying yourself for another attack.

This time Glauca came at you with more force than before, making you slide back. You grunt at the impact and try to hold him off. You duck under his sword, allowing you to not be cornered by the strong man. You begin to use magic on him, hoping that it would weaken him to some degree, but it didn’t seem like it was doing anything. You cursed under your breath before moving back once more.

You lunged at Glauca and went for his legs, wanting to incapacitate him by having no leg support. You managed to knick through his armour, but only slightly. You moved back once more and took another defensive position, bracing for the hit. Glauca jumped high into the air, landing with such might that it caused you to fall to the ground. You frowned and tried to roll out of the way, but Glauca managed to pick you up by the neck.

You materialized your sword once more from the ground, managing to stab Glauca in the chest. It caused him to stumble a bit, but not before he impaled you with his own greatsword. He drops you to the ground and pulls your sword out of his damaged armor, dropping it to the ground alongside you. You looked up at the ceiling, your hands covering the gaping wound that made a home in your abdomen. You shut your eyes, tears streaming down your face.

It was finally over. All those years of having an empty hole in your chest. You were going to be whole again. You were going to see your family again. You smile to yourself and open your eyes again, a bright light beginning to form. You were ready.

You take a photo out of the pocket of your uniform. It was a photograph of the five of you together, laughing together in the gardens. You hold it close to your chest. You hoped it was enough time. Though you may not have done much in the long run, you felt like you did your duty to the fullest. You have repaid your debt by giving your life. That’s all you could’ve asked for.

“I’m with all of you, always.” you say with your last breath. The light engulfed your body, and when you woke once more, you were in a dream-like state. You saw your parents, watching over you.

“Hey baby. We’ve missed you.” your mother began.

“We’re so sorry for everything that has happened…. We’ve missed so much.” you dad croaked.

You tear up and shot up, taking them both in your arms.

“I’ve missed you guys so much.” you cry out. “It’s over. I’m… free, right?” you question.

“Of course, sweetie. You are free. Free from pain, free from all the nightmares and torture.”

You smile at them, looking down below you. You would be watching them from above, as a guardian angel.

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

“Noctis…?” you ask. “Are you there…?”

Noctis looks around, realizing that he’s dreaming. He looks over at the voice calling for him.

“(Y/N)? What… what’re you doing?” he questions.

“Well… I couldn’t keep my promise.” you confessed. “I’m sorry. I tried the best I could… I guess it just wasn’t good enough. I just wanted to tell you that even though I’m gone physically… I’m going to watch over you and the others. I told you that no matter what I’d be there in spirit… so here I am.”

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

Noctis immediately wakes from his slumber. He wanted it to only be a dream, but he couldn’t feel your presence anymore. He frowns and wakes the other three up.

“What time is it, Noct…?” Ignis begins. “Is everything alright?”

He shakes his head.

“I… I don’t know what time it is. I don’t care….”

“What is it, man?” Prompto urges.

“(Y/N)’s gone.” he simply states. Noctis looks down at the ground, tears staining the floor.

“Noct… I’m so… sorry.” Gladio apologized.

“We all are, dude.” Prompto puts a hand on his shoulder.

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

The time had come. When the Chosen would give himself for the world, for the people. Everything had been taken away from him. His friends, his betrothed, his true love… even his father was taken away even though (Y/N) had sacrificed themselves for the King… it was all for nothing…

Noctis was finally going to see everyone again. He could finally embrace you in his arms once more. He could be with his family. He could be with his friends. Everything was going to be okay.

He closes his eyes and lets the light engulf him. When he opens his eyes, you were standing there alongside everyone else who were waiting for him.

“Welcome home.”
