#prince arctus verse

[ardynzunia]

@galahdborn  from here  Nyx let out a small noise of amusement when he saw what Arctus was wearing. "I don't, but I might need it back before I leave, unless you want me to walk around shirtless," he teased, though part of him was worried that Arctus would be tempted to make him do just that.

Sure, he had nothing he was ashamed of and the weather was nice, but he'd get a lot of stares and possibly a lot of questions as well – questions he didn't want to answer. "I could also just stay here, but you get to tell the Captain why I'm not showing up," Drautos might actually listen to the Prince, after all.

Arctus chuckled and took a sip of his coffee. It was certainly tempting to send him off like that. If only so people could see the little marks he’d left on his boyfriend. But then again, he rather liked such views to stay private. On the other hand the sweatshirt he’d stolen from Nyx was so comfortable he didn’t want to remove it. 

“Well I suppose I don’t want to share you,” He said finally. “ And I try not to play favorites. You could borrow something of mine? We’re about the same size. Have some breakfast and we can hitch a ride together toward the Citadel.”

He very carefully kept his face trained to look happy and casual as she spoke, not wanting to concern her. But behind his little mask he was a bit heart broken for the oracle that had been his brother's friend, and even angrier at Niflhiem than he was already. It really was tragic how much her life had centered around doing what people wanted.

"I know this is really overwhelming," He said. "If it helps, this just seemed like a fun place where we'd be left alone for a bit. But you won't have to do this all the time, or even ever again if you don't like it."

He tried to crack a smile, the urge to run his hands through his hair strong.

"I know it's hard, and a bit intimidating, but please try to make the decision based on what you want," He said. "you don't have to do anything based on what will please me. I won't be your handler when we get married. I'll be your equal, and I hope you'll pursue your own interests, and eventually be comfortable with arguing with me and talking to me without fear. All I want is for you to be happy."

Lunafreya’s training had prepared her for every kind of interlocutor - or so she’d thought. Because here, her future husband - the one person of all people she ought not to lose her eloquence around - has her utterly speechless. It is now Luna realises that with no expectations to rise to, she is utterly lost in such a conversation. 

 She regards Arctus for a long moment before at last admitting: ❝I do not know what it is you wish to hear.❞ It is almost embarrassing to be, as the Oracle, at a loss for words. But more than that, it is confusing. Mere flattery, the willingness to acquiesce to him, does nothing. Because he wants to know what she wants, and now Luna must reckon with the fact that she hardly knows herself. 

 ❝Do you…want me to want to play the arcade game? I do not mean to imply anything, but this…place…it is hardly consistent with our image. I must confess, I do not know how to be the kind of girl who frequents pizza joints and plays cabinet games. But if it is your desire, I am willing to learn.❞

(Ardynzunia, any verse) how did you know that?

A small smile curved his lips as he turned to look over toward the prince. He liked Arctus. He had a great amount of respect him. And yet, there were times when even Ignis fell victim to a little bit of whimsy.

"I tried out Noct's theory of sleeping on a book to learn via osmosis," he said dryly.

No, he'd just read the book.

Arctus had seen older pictures of Dad. He was pretty sure he could be a huge dork, given enough peace to allow him a vacation. But he couldn’t read Noctis’ mind, so he was hardly going to know to correct his little brother. Instead just squishing his brother right back.

“I mean, just wearing something besides black would make you look like everyone,” He laughed. “But I bet you’d look great with some silly fishing gear. Hat included.”

@ardynzunia​ liked for a starter.

His big fight with Ignis had been days ago and since then, his advisor had been nowhere to be seen. He was no doubt giving him time to cool down, but Noctis didn’t think it would make any difference. He knew Ignis meant well, but he had no idea what he was going through. He didn’t understand the pressure that he was under...didn’t understand how much he hated anything that reminded him of the fact that one day, his father wouldn’t be with them.

It was something that became all the more clear when he saw how aged the man was. The burden of the ring and sustaining the wall was a heavy one – one that was killing him.

He sat on the couch, his apartment showing clear signs that Ignis hadn’t visited in a few days. It wasn’t the worst it had been, but it was a mess. Take-out containers and empty cans of energy drinks lay scattered around.

The sound of his door unlocking made him pause his video game. There were only a handful of people who had a key, so he could guess who it was.

“What do you want, Ig...” He trailed off as his older brother came into view. “You could have knocked, you know...”

[ardynzunia]

Prince Arctus:

Looking over the invitation for the ball in his brother's honor, Arctus chose to wear something that wouldn't immediately cause a scandal. A subtle and fashionable designer piece. Though the references to royal military formal and the hair ornament skewing just a bit too close to his father's crown would likely still draw the ire of the nobility. He grinned, he always did enjoy annoying the Insomnians.

Ardyn:

He knew the Invitation required Formal dress, he did. But at 2000 years old, he still generally preferred his own taste. So instead he draped an expensive, transparent chiffon top over gold armlets, body jewelry and piercings. Hair teased our to a good double it's usual size with pure gold beads woven throughout, leather pants, and a gold collar and armlets to match his gold eyeliner finished the look. What was the fun on blending in at his age?

[ardynzunia]

If Arctus notices Cor's concern, it isn't obvious. Though if the man had argued, the teen was sure to argue back. Fighting this war meant being able to go home to Altissia one day, he wasn't going to stand aside if he could do something. Living in the walled up Insomnia might have been fine for the locals, but it wasn't for Arctus.

"Some, though a lot of my hand to hand is really more street scrapping," He admitted. "So focusing on that and fire arms seems good. I've got a preference to avoid using manna when I can, since so much is getting funneled into healing."

A strange glimmer flashes through his eyes for a moment. The thought of being a combat medic almost causes a pit in his stomach -- but its different for those able to use magic. "I am unable to train you in arcane. I cannot use magic, but I am sure you do not need help with it."

"I assume you are familiar with close quarters? Fighting hand to hand with no weapon or magic available? If not, I think it would be invaluable. Even medical mages need to work in closer quarters to their teammates, you might need to fight without any weapons at all."

"I would suggest firearms if you are comfortable with hand to hand, but I can teach you the basics of every weapon you need to learn. In the Crownsguard it is required of all combat medics to carry at least one weapon to protect themselves and their patient."

@ardynzunia​ sent: (Ardynzunia, Prince Arctus/modern healer verse) "Happy Birthday Gladio! I got you a present, thought I should show some appreciation for keeping such a good eye one my baby brother." He said, "Or I suppose you could come drinking with me and a couple of the glaives tonight? But I assumed you'd prefer something proper."

“Oh geeze.” He rubs the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. As a general rule, he tried to keep his birthday on the down low. Not one to take the spotlight for such celebrations. And didn’t entirely trust people due to it being the day after April Fools. “You really didn’t hafta get me anything. ‘s Just my job and today’s just a day.”

“I’d take ya’ up on the offer but, I already have plans tonight. Can we make a rain check?”

Arctus nodded to the curt response. There wasn't anymore needed. He was always more Glaive than prince, so the Captain of the Glaive would of course understand his position. They all lost, they all fought to leave this city and have their homes back. Or if the home was gone entirely, fought to get revenge for it. Arctus' was a little of both. Fighting to go back to Altissia and revenge for his mother and her destroyed home at the same time.

He laughs at Titus' question. A short bark that wasn't filled with much humor.

"More like planning on them taking me home," He admitted. "disappear to someplace else with someone who didn't recognize me."

He'd done it before. If he picked someone new to the city, or drunk enough, they usually didn't find out til later.

He glanced over at Arctus in the seat beside him as he stopped at red light when the young man thanked him. "It's fine."

They all had their demons. They all deserved to deal with them on their on time in their own ways. It wasn't his place to force the prince to deal with his father and brother.

He said nothing more until they stopped out front of the prince's apartment, where he glanced over at him. "I assume you meant to take someone home tonight who wasn't me?"

[ardynzunia]

@monarchborn  from here  Out of all things that could happen, Regis had never expected this. Weskham had contacted him, but since he had been worried about potential spies overhearing their conversation, he hadn't actually said much - only that it was important.

Now he was sitting on a chair by a bed that currently held a son he hadn't known existed until some hours ago. The poor boy had been in pain, so he was a bit drugged up at the moment, but apparently not enough to not ask questions.

"I believe so, dear boy," he offered, voice gentle. "I'm sure it's quite the surprise – it is for me as well, but do not worry. There is no time like the present to get to know each other," he would not turn his son away, no matter how he was conceived. He may have made an unwise choice, considering his position, but Arctus should not suffer for it.

"We will figure it out. For now, rest as much as you need. We will take care of you here.

Arctus moved stiffly in the bed, trying to sit up straight and look less pitiful. This whole situation had been embarrassing enough without looking like a little kid.

“I knew, mom said she never told you so we could stay in Altissia,” He said. “It’s good to know it was true though. I always assumed you were just a jerk and mom wanted me to think better of you.”

He sighed, and stopped himself just in time from leaning back onto the hospital bed. Having a back wound sucked. 

“Will I be leaving the hospital soon? Like, at least going somewhere else to visit. It can’t be super safe for you visiting a government location in Altissia,” He said. “I know Niflhiem hasn’t tried anything with political visits yet, but they still kind of suck. And we’ll be planning to go to Insomnia too, right? Or am I gonna stay with Weskham.”

[ardynzunia]

💋

Arctus straddled Nyx's lap and kissed him, hands stroking soft strands of black hair. He smiled as he pulled away, getting nice and comfortable in his new seat.

"I really wonder how you managed to trick Titus into assigning you to me for guard duty," He chuckled. "I would have thought he knew better."

He tilts Nyx's head up and kisses him again.

[ardynzunia]

@galahdborn  from here 

Nyx is too drunk for this. Probably. The question definitely catches him completely off guard and he stares down at his drink, contemplating his life for a few long moments.

"I mean – obviously," he replies, a small frown on his lips. "I hope that wasn't your actual way of asking, though," because he didn't want to answer such a serious question whilst drunk. Maybe Arctus was hoping he'd forget about it in the morning, but Nyx always remembered the shit he did whilst drunk, even if he wished he didn't.

Marriage was a big deal tho, especially in Galahd. He didn't know about Insomnia or Altissia, but he really liked Arctus, so he hoped the other wasn't just getting his hopes up now.

“Leviathan would personally smite me if thiss were a proposal,” Arctus half slurred. “But you’re supposed to talk about it right? Avoid humiliating your partner with something really public they have to say no to.” 

Arctus rubbed his face and laid his head on the bar, his own glass completely empty. Not to mention a bottle or two of wine. He might have overdid it. But he’s not sure he regrets asking. 

“If. or, or When. It’s going to be proper, and visible, and show how much I care about you.” He mumbled. “But maybe ssooner than later. Don’t want the nobles to sell me off to someone.” 

[ardynzunia]

@galahdborn  from here Ever since Nyx realised that Prince Arctus liked to visit the Glaives, he had tried to make the younger male join in on their fun activities whenever they occurred. Nobody should feel alone and Nyx knew that the other's position in Insomnia was tricky, having not been there when the attempt at the other's life had happened, but he had heard about it from the other Glaives present that day.

They were done with training today and was playing around with their magic and Nyx had claimed Arctus for his own team. It was a tight battle though, but eventually they won, and the victorious feeling made him lose his mind somewhere as he turned to give Arctus a celebratory kiss. It was meant to be short and sweet, but it lasted right up until the moment Nyx realised he was kissing royalty and probably shouldn't be doing that.

Pulling away with a smile on his lips, not wishing to make it awkward, he winked at the other: "Seems like I'll need you on my team more often, huh?" Inwardly he was cursing though, idly wondering if the King himself would murder him for what he had just done.

Arctus had first started visiting the Glaives to talk to those who were also Altissian. Missing his language and people who had things in common with him. Then he started taking their advice as he pushed laws and policies to help them and the less popular people of Insomnia. Their desires for hearth and home shared by him.

So when Nyx started inviting him to hang out or mess around it felt more like friendship than pity. Certainly he’d gotten better with all his skills, and he always enjoyed his time with them .

The kiss still managed to be a surprise even with that. Not that he minded, intentionally pressing up against Nyx when the man’s lips pressed against his own. One arm creeping up toward Nyx’s hair and the other tight on his jackets lapel. Arctus found himself pouting when he pulled away.

“Mmm, If that’s the reward I’ll make sure to be available,” He grinned, tongue running along his teeth as he stared at Nyx’s lips.

Which meant he noticed the slight twitch. Hmm, maybe the glaive regretted it?
