Summary
Noctis awoke all at once. Something was wrong. He was cold. His shirt was gone. He was hanging from a metal strut, his arms forced uncomfortably above him. He could see his bare feet dangling just above the cold cement floor. Wherever he was, he knew one thing. He had been taken.
When though?
Noctis tried to think back to his last memories. At first there was nothing, then a small churn of nausea filled his gut and he remembered. He had been at the arcade. With Prompto. Eating pizza and drinking enough coke to give Ignis an aneurysm.
They had finished eating and finally gotten to play the newest Dead Again V game that Prompto had been wanting to try for ages. It hadn’t been long until an uncomfortable heat crept across Noct’s face and a strange dizziness overtook him. Nausea hit him full force, and suddenly his character was dead onscreen.
”Dude, I know you’re not that bad at shooters,” Prompto said, chortling. “If you really didn’t want to play the game, you could have just watched.”
__________________________________________________________________________Noctis has a bad time and everyone just gets to watch.

Summary
“In service to the crown,” Ignis confirms.
“Just the crown, hm? No shout out to your best friend Noct?”
Behind him, Ignis chuckles. “It’s all for you, Noct. Always.”

Summary
“Firstly, I’d like to commend you for your attempt at discretion,” Ignis says. “It’s very mature of you.”
Noctis blinks down at the surface of his drink, utterly confused as to what Ignis is talking about.
“However, it’s important to tell you that you’re not doing as good of a job of pretending you don’t have a boyfriend as you seem to think you are.”
Boyfriend.
Ignis thinks he has a boyfriend. Gladio too, it seems.
Noctis does not have a boyfriend.Alternatively: Extremely late to realising his feelings for Prompto are not as platonic as he thought, there's only one thing Noctis can do. Ask Ignis and Gladio for advice on how to confess.

Summary
Prompto carefully tugs open the garment bag, exposing the edge of a dark, slate grey suit and wine coloured shirt.
“Try it on, we don’t have much time for adjustments,” Loqi demands.
“What’s it for?” Prompto wonders. He already has a suit, wore it to meet the Caelum clan that first day, wears it pretty much any time he’s allowed to leave his room. They are a family with standards after all.
“If you manage not to fuck this up, I’m taking you to meet your fiance,” Loqi tells him.
Prompto’s adjusting the sleeve of his jacket when Loqi speaks, and it takes him several seconds to really understand what he’s saying.
“Wait—what?”Alternatively: After trying and failing to inact a prophecy that will return his vampire clan to their former glory, the least Noctis can do is agree to a marriage in order to avoid an escalation of war.

Summary
Nyx’s job is to take Noctis home—back to the Citadel—to seal him away again after a tiny foray into freedom but he wants to give him something. It’s irrational and illogical, Nyx shouldn’t care, he should just be protecting Noctis’ body from harm, that’s what he’s paid to do, but what good is all that effort if Noctis is just crumbling apart on the inside.
“Hey,” Nyx says softly. Noctis’ eyes fly up at once, meeting Nyx’s in the rear view. In the dim lighting the blue of them is all icy—Nyx suppresses a shiver and pretends that’s why. “You wanna drive back?”
Noctis sits up, eyes a little wide. Nyx looks away, has to, in order to avoid saying something they’ll both regret.
“You’d let me?” Noctis asks, voice barely audible.
Nyx shrugs.Alternatively: Noctis has always been more than just a job to him.
