He has always hated lightning.
Ever since he was a small child. Even now as he sees the flash of lightning cross the sky he couldn't help but to feel a strong hatred for the flash of lighting.
While he knows that the lightning wasn't necessary responsible for his parent's deaths considering they were murdered by someone who hates the royal family.
He remembers that is when he starts to see the light of Etro as well, but what he remembers the most was their that was lightning highlighting the room every few minutes, followed by a loud sound of thunder.
Even now he can still remember his parent's faces scrunched up in pain. Blood flowing out of their bodies from where the assassin stabbed them.
He frowns noticing a bolt of lightning cross the sky follow by a loud sound of thunder shortly afterwards.
Even now fifteen years later he still can't skake those memories away. Although he knows it not necessary the lightning's fault that his parents died.
"Why do you hate lightning?" a soft feminine voice question causing him to instantly narrow his eyes at the female. Noticing she was dress simply in her knee length black dress. The white cargadin that she usually wears over top was absent. He believes this is the first time he has seen her without it.
"My parents were murdered during a lightning storm," he answers finally. Knowing that Stella knows very little about his past.
"So were mine," she says softly causing his garnet eyes to widen at that confession. At his slightly confuse look decide to continue. "When I was five my parents took me to some peace conference and when were driving back to Tenebrae. Another car hit us. My parents died on impact and I was lucky enough to survive. That is how I started to see the light of Etro."
"I'm sorry," he replies and he can feel his lips quirk into a small smile feeling a connection towards the blonde female. "I recive my powers the same day my parents were killed."
Another bolt of lightning spread across the sky lighting up the room for a second or two before going somewhat dark again. Except for the lone candle on the nightstand.
She move to lay next to him on the large king size bed. Softly questioning "Can I ask you something about your parent's death?"
"What is it?" he questions.
She hesitates for a moment before answering "Why don't you hate the man who murdered your parents?"
Noctis frown lightly realizing the silent implication of her words. He hated lightning who had little to no part in his parent's death over. "I guess because until now it never really occurred to me to think of that man."
"So does that mean you don't necessary hate lightning anymore?" she questions moving her head to look in his garnet eyes.
"It change my perspective on things somewhat?" he answers truthfully.
"Then maybe I should give you reason to like lightning storms," she muses lightly pressing a soft kiss against his lips.
It didn't take long before skin met against skin. Moans cover by the thunder that follows the lightning. Maybe Stella is right. Maybe he will start to see lightning in a different sort of way.
