Maiden's Kiss
Based on the status ailment cure item.
Lightning stared at the green amphibian between her two palms.
"Ah, what do we do?!" Prompto panicked as he rummaged through their pack for the third time. "We're out of maiden kisses and remedies!"
Ignis sighed wearily, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "It looks like we'll have to wait for the effect to wear off."
"Might not be anytime soon," Gladiolus frowned, scanning their surroundings. They were deep within Fociaugh Hollow. Returning to the entrance just for a remedy would have wasted their efforts.
It was rather unfortunate. After scuffling with a Naga, the group realized that their prince had turned into a toad.
"I always wondered why the cure was called a maiden's kiss," Lightning remarked and brought Noctis closer so they were face to face. "Shall we test that theory?"
Ignis raised an eyebrow, amused with the idea. "I don't see why not, considering we have no other options."
"And you are a girl," Prompto chirped as if just discovering that she was, indeed, female. The comment earned him a smack from Gladiolus.
The toad froze as he felt four pair of eyes on him. Before he could leap away, the pink-haired Glaive softly pressed her lips against the toad's.
Slimy. Cold. A bit salty. Not entirely unpleasant. From her closed eyes, she sensed a flash from Prompto's camera.
She dropped her hands as she could feel the toad morph into something larger. The sensation pressing on her lips turned soft and warm. The spell was broken as Noctis pulled away.
The Lucian prince stood before her, cheeks as red as a Lucian tomato. As he stepped back, he hid the lower half of his face against his forearm.
"Dammit, Light…" he mumbled in a flustered state. He never thought his first kiss with Lightning would be like this.
"Well whaddaya know," Gladiolus smirked, as he patted the prince's back.
"Interesting," Ignis stated as he jotted down a note in his pad.
Lightning touched her lips with her fingertips. "It actually worked…" she murmured, a bit dazed.
"Whoo-hoo!" Prompto sang as he raised a fist in the air. "Sweet! When I turn toad, can I get a kiss from Light too?"
"Can it," Noctis growled, shoving his Shield off of him. "Let's just go." The group moved forward, deeper into the dungeon as the last of the Trial of Ramuh awaits.
