She would often spar with him.
Just a friendly match that had probably started some time during the war. Despite the fact that they fought quite a bit they never move in for the fatal blow. Instead it seemed more like they were actors on a stage.
Pretending to hate each other when in reality they possess some sort of feelings for each other. Regardless if it was friendship or love.
However she would admit that she had fallen in love with him sometime in between their first meeting and before the war ended.
Maybe it was because she knew that he was the only one who can truly understand her because of the fact that they were both curse by Etro, while she is probably the only one who can understand him. Despite the fact that his friends were like brothers to him.
She silently knew that in the times they fought against each other during the war Noctis had the advantage. He was physically stronger than her and his blade was a lot larger than hers, but while he is stronger she made up in speed. Not to mention the fact she has a lighter sword which allows faster swings.
She dodge the sword he swung at her. Not necessary with the intent to kill her but it was enough for her to be able to dodge the attack before moving to counter it. Noctis moved slightly backwards before clashing his sword with her own.
She instantly broke the contact with the blade before he would be able to overpower with his strength. She move her rapier in a diagonal slash which he was easily able to block with his sword, before making a move to overpower her.
She fell backwards dropping her rapier on the stone floor. Noctis instantly placed a hand out in front of her to help her up that she gratefully took allowing the prince to pull her to her feet.
"Figures you two would be sparring so early in a morning," Titus yawn running a hand through his messy golden locks. "Or maybe the two of you just want to spend some alone time together."
A soft blush cross both their faces at the implication that the shotgun user made.
Sure they enjoyed each other's company. She would admit that she has been strongly attracted to Noctis ever since they first met at that party in front of the painting of Etro. Still she never wanted to do anything to compromise her relationship with him, especially after they started to become friends.
"It's good to train yourself against a worthy an opponent," Noctis replies moving to walk past his friend. "Even during times of peace." Titus smirked lightly at that remark,
"Sounds like an excuse to me, you just want to spend more time with a certain princess from Tenebrae."
"Hmm maybe your right," Noctis says lightly to himself. Somehow knew that he would always participate in this dance of blades with Stella.
