Endlessly [Noctis Lucis Caelum]

This is the second Noctis fanfic I had written and it was honestly my favorite one to write. It's seriously not the best, but I enjoyed it. Originally posted on Quotev. The song it was inspired by was "Endlessly" by The Cab. (The lyrics in italics)

I hope you guys enjoy it as well. Feedback is always welcomed!❤ -6.7 pages 2414 words-

There's a shop down the street where they sell plastic rings for a quarter a piece,

I swear it.

Yeah, I know that it's cheap; Not like gold in your dreams, but I hope that you'll still wear it.

He sat in the booth with his friends. They were all babbling on about something, but the young adult male just fidgeted with a small plastic ring incased in a plastic container a little bigger than the ring that he had gotten from a gumball machine.

He couldn't help but let his mind trail off towards her. She was beautiful. Her hair was long and a trailed down her back. The natural waves of it perfectly in sync with one another. Her skin was flawless and the time he was even lucky enough to brush his fingers against an exposed patch, it felt softer than petals on a fully bloomed rose. Her eyes were hypnotic and her voice was smoother than a fine wine that slid down your throat with ease, leaving you with wanting more until you became completely intoxicated.

She didn't know that he was the prince, but even if she did, she didn't seem like she cared, but Noctis wanted to keep up the masquerade. He shook the piece of 'jewelry' in its plastic tomb.

"Uh, Noct?" Prompto questioned the zoned out ravenette, giving him a curious look.

"Whatcha got there?" Gladiolus said teasingly as he snatched the toy ring from the prince.

"Hey! Give it back!" Noctis yelled as he reached over the table and snatched it back. This time tucking it safely away in his pocket.

"What does the royal highness need with a toy ring?" Ignis said giving the now embarrassed prince a questionable stare.

"No reason.." He muttered back, trying to act like the past minute never happened. He turned his head to gaze out the window trying to hide the fire to his cheeks, but failing miserably.

Even though he could confide in his pals for anything, he didn't want them to know about why he had it, let alone her. He watched as cars passed by, the thought of her still invading his thoughts 

"Yo Noooct! Let's go, I'm tired." Prompto yelled to the unresponsive male. Noctis looked to his friend and exited the booth making their way towards the Regalia after paying.

It was late and Noctis had snuck out. Probably wasn't his best idea to travel alone at night with daemons looming about, but it was the only time he'd get alone.

He uncaged the small plastic ring and let out a long exhale before clentching his fist around it. What was he thinking? Why was he even trying to attempt this? He felt shy and awkward. Anxiety causing his palms to become sweaty and self doubt to settle in. 

Yeah, the ink may stain my skin and my jeans may all be ripped.

I'm not perfect, But I swear I'm perfect for you.

And there's no guarantee that this will be easy. It's not a miracle you need, believe me.

Now I'm no angel; I'm just me, but I will love you endlessly.

Wings aern't what you need, you need me.

He felt like hopping back into the car and heading back to the small hotel they were staying at. It took alot just to get to where he was and now that he was here, it was harder trying to muster up the courage to see her, let alone give her some toy ring.

What was he thinking? This was embarrassing and she would probably laugh in his face for even trying to give her such a petty thing. He might as well have had came clean and bought her something that she deserved. Something that, even though would pale in comparison to her beauty, would complement her and show that he wanted her for himself.

He took a deep breath and forced himself up the stairs to the hotel room she said she was staying at.

When the two first met, she seemed to not recognize who Noctis was. He had bumped into her, making her drop whatever she had in her small arms all over the black top. She had snapped at him rather quickly, causing him to be taken back by her venomous words, but she had apologized mere seconds later.

Noctis just helped her with her things and this was the start of their friendship. She didn't know he was royalty and to be honest she didn't care about what went on in the kingdom or who was in charge. She had better things to do than keep up with someone else's life.

After all, she had her own life to live.

The female laid in the bed staring out the sliding glass doors. She didn't bother shutting the blinds. Nobody in Eos was bad and she was sure that no one would bother being a peeping tom.

Noctis ran through her mind. Images of running her fingers through his soft blue-black hair. Getting lost in his dark eyes. Brushing her plump lips against his. She wanted the male. She wanted to be next to him. For him to help warm her bed. To roll over in the morning and press her body against his. She wanted to feel his fingers graze her cheek before he would steal a kiss.

The fact of the matter was that she is lonely and she wanted to feel complete.

She wanted him.

Him and every problem, flaw, and smile that came along.

She wanted his love.

The young woman ran her fingers over her face and through her semi-wet hair as she huffed out a long, hot breath of air. She climbed out of the comfort of her sheets before stepping out onto the balcony and letting the night air engulf her somewhat bare body.

There's a house on the hill with a view of the town and I know how you adore it.

So I'll work everyday through the sun and thr rain until I can afford it.

Yeah, your friends may think I'm crazy cause they can only see I'm not perfect,

But I swear that I'm perfect for you.

Noctis knocked lightly on the door, shoving the hand that held the small ring in his pocket. Each passing second felt like an eternity waiting for her to answer the door, but before she could make her way back into the room towards the door Noctis ran down the steps into the safety of his car and sped off.

The prince silently cursed to himself, hitting a hand on the steering wheel. He felt idiotic. When he arrived at the hotel he was staying at with his friends he didn't bother going inside. Instead he sat on the steps leading to the front door.

"What is wrong with you...she's just a girl.." He whispered to himself, not noticing that Prompto had made his way outside.

"Who is?" The blond had said to the embarrassed male, startling him.

"No one." Noctis managed to choke out. Prompto was his bestfriend and he had met him in school. He told Prompto more than Ignis and Gladiolus, but for some reason he didn't want to confide into the same age male.

Prompto didn't want to accept that as an answer and Noctis knew that.

"C'mon dude." Prompto whined, being sure to make eye contact with the quiet soon to be king.

Noctis pulled out the fake painted gold ring with a small white pretend diamond placed perfectly in the center. The ring looked real and like it could be used as a wedding band, but Noctis had only paid 25 cents for it.

He gave the ring a slight toss towards Prompto and watched as he caught it and help it up to the moon before handing it back.

"What do you plan on doing with that?" He questioned and watched as Noctis shrugged his shoulders.

Noctis wasn't lying even though he had an idea on what he wanted to do with it. He also knew that if he didn't act quick he would most likely never get to see the female again.

"I want to give it to this girl.." Noctis finally let out. He felt a sense of relief flow through him.

"You couldn't have gotten her one that's , I don't know, real?" Prompto put emphasis on the word real. Noctis shook his head before answering.

"She doesn't know that I'm the 'soon to be king', at least I don't think she does." He stated stealing a quick glance at Prompto who looked as if he was deep in thought.

"Oh.." Prompto managed to get out, "You know, we'll be leaving here soon to Altissa, right? And what about lady Luna?" He looked seriously at the prince.

"I don't know.," Noctis groaned out, "That's why I feel so conflicted and I've been quiet lately. I don't know what I'm doing." He ran his hand down his face. He played with the fake ring with his free hand and looked towards Prompto.

"Go." Prompto said with a smile.

"Huh?" The prince looked to him confused.

"Go to her Noct. She obviously means something to you. I'll cover for you and the missing car. Just try to hurry back." Prompto told him, still smiling but placing a hand on his shoulder. Noctis nodded okay to the childish blond.

Noctis hopped in the Regalia, speeding of towards her once again, this time confidence over flowing out of him.

There's no guarantee that this will be easy.

It's not a miracle you need, believe me.

Now I'm no angel. I'm just me, but I will love you endlessly.

Wings aern't what you need, you need me.

You need me.

Noctis stood outside the hotel, this time facing towards the sliding glass doors. He threw small pebbles at the glass trying to get her attention. When she woke up, she jumped at the sudden sound of rock hitting the glass. She slipped on a small robe and made her way out of the room and onto the balcony.

When ger vision focused, she saw her raven haired friend that she was dreaming about. He stood down on the ground, looking up towards her.

"Hang on, I'll be down!" She yelled and watched as he nodded.

She couldn't believe that he was here, especially with how late it actually was. She slipped on pants and a t-shirt that was thrown to the ground and made her way outside. The early morning night air hit her causing her to shiver, but she didn't mind the cold breeze. She met up with the prince.

"Get in." He said in a rushed tone as he opened the passenger side door for the lady. Once she had obliged, he shut the door and hopped in taking off.

"Where are we going?" She questioned. It wasn't that she didn't trust her new found friend, she was just curious.

"You'll see." He said, confidence oozing out of the smile he flashed at her quickly.

The sun was rising and he was set on heading to towards the ocean. The woman didn't have much, let alone a car and he vaugly remembered that she said she would like to vist the ocean.

Once they arrived he had her close her eyes as he led her towards the water. They had left their shoes in the car and let the cool sand squeeze between their toes until they hit the edge of where the salty water connected. She knew instantly where they were and became a little too excited when Noctis had removed his hands.

"There..." He whispered in satisfaction as he took in the view as well.

"Noct.." The girl gasped, placing a hand over her open mouth then turned to the prince in hiding. "You didn't have to bring me here.." She whispered before throwing her arms around his neck hugging him.

They sat at the beach for about an hour. It was still early, but he knew how bad he would be scolded if Ignis found out.

"Oh..I wanted to give you something.." Noctis stated nervously before digging around in his pocket.

The ink may stain my skin and my jeans may all be ripped. 

I'm not perfect, but I swear I'm perfect for you.

There's no guarantee that this will be easy. It's not a miracle you need, believe me.

Now I'm no angel; I'm just me, but I will love you endlessly.

Wings aern't what you need, you need me.

You need me.

The girl smiled and waited patiently until Noctis pulled out the ring and handed it too her. Careful to hide his face for the fire that was building on his cheeks.

"Now I know its not much.. and It's not real.. But I.." He started out mumbling.

The girl didn't care. She loved it and she would cherish it for eternity. She slipped it on her finger and pulled Noctis's face toward hers. She had a big smile on her face and it got even wider seeing him blush. 

"I love it Prince Noctis." She stated before softly pressing her lips on his.

Noctis didn't hesitate to kiss back or pull her closer, causing her to fall ontop of him while he place his hand at the base of her skull. He entangled his fingers in her hair and broke the kiss, not breaking eye contact with her though.

"I thought.." He started, but she had cut him off.

"I knew the whole time Noct." She said smiling before leaning down for another kiss.

When they got back to the hotel she was staying at she started to climb out of the car. The prince grabbed her wrist quickly making her stop.

"Hey.. I'll be back for you. I promise." After that he let go. She gave him a sad smile and waved goodbye.

Little did the young adults know that he wouldn't be coming back.

There's a shop down the street that sells plastic rings for a quarter a piece

But I hope you'll still wear it..
