Chapter 1 Only You
This is a fanfic compiled of mainly small drabbles that I will write here and there when I need a break from my current fic Bound to Happen. Also, I guess a way i can experiment with different writing styles and scenes. Currently there will be 30 chapters to this since i have 30 songs in a playlist but that is subject to change if i either change my mind about a song or if i add more songs, which is definitely a possibilty. What this also is is a challenge i guess to you know keep this going and not abandon halfway through. Also, if this does well, i might take other pairings from the game and create a playlist for them as well as write scenes for it as well.
So here is the link to the playlist if you would like to follow it and listen but be warned SONGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE! Meaning i may add new ones or delete ones i thought would be good but actually aren't. user/alayaweeks/playlist/0ZEmMGeZKVheDUjnsCIvec Also, feel free to recommend songs if you want to!
Only You – Selena Gomez
"This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door"
"Prompto!" Noctis shouted as he ran to the half dead blonde that was strapped to some kind of torture device.
Ignis, led by Gladio, quickly followed suit into the room. By Gladio's low comments made so that only Ignis would hear, he was for once glad that he could not see.
Prompto looked up with lidded eyes at his friends. "Y- you came for me?"
Noctis began unlatching the buckles to the leather straps that were holding the battered-up blonde. "Of course we did!"
Noctis caught his friend in his arms so he didn't completely land on the floor when the straps let him go. Prompto's breathing was shallow. Noctis brushed some blonde locks from his friend's face which was bruised and swollen. There was a spot close to his temple that had been bleeding but the blood was now dried and crusty, some even got in his hair. Noctis trailed his thumb over the blonde's swollen lip, being careful not to hurt him. It was taking everything in Noctis to hold back his tears. He couldn't bear to see Prompto like this, to know who did this to him.
Prompto felt a tear drop on his face that stung his wounds but ignored the pain to reach his arm up to place his hand on Noctis' cheek. "Hey buddy, it's okay. I'm fine." He croaked but managed a smile through the pain.
Noctis shook his head violently "No. It's not okay. You're not okay. I-" he clenched his fist "But I'm gonna make this okay."
"Sure you will, you always do." Prompto smiled again.
"Ahem." Ignis spoke as he pushed his glasses back up to his nose. "You and Prompto should find a place to rest and get cleaned up. I will go with Gladio to search for food and curatives."
"You sure Iggy? You can go with Noct and Prompto and it might be best-" Gladiolus began to explain.
"I'm not useless." Ignis cut the larger man off with an icy cold tone.
"I didn't mean it like that."
Ignis nodded and sighed "I know, I'm sorry I snapped. Let's go."
Noctis nodded and gently stood up to help Prompto who winced as his arm was slung around Noctis' neck. Noctis continued to lead his friend back down the hall they came from when they found him.
Prompto was still sitting on the bed quietly. He hadn't said a word since they arrived in the safe room, which was weird to Noctis and worried him even more. Normally, Prompto would've already talked Noctis' ear off but the only noise that was made was the water from the sink Noctis was using and the clinks of metal as Prompto fiddled with his bracelets.
Noctis came back in the room from the small bathroom with a rag that had been wet with warm water. He walked over to Prompto and he swallowed more tears as he saw the blonde's busted lip and right eye that he could barely open that it had been so swollen. He began wiping the blood away as gently as he possibly could from the cut on the side of Prompto's head.
Prompto winced at the sting of the touch. "Did…" he avoided eye contact with Noctis "were you…" he bit his swollen lip "Were you worried about me?"
Noctis stopped cleaning the blood and stared at the blonde dumbfounded who just looked down to avoid the glare.
"What" he lifted Prompto's chin so that they were now eye to eye again. "kind of fucking question is that?"
Prompto remained quiet the tears welling up in his eyes now.
Noctis moved to sit next to Prompto and let the blonde lay his head on his shoulder. Prompto just sobbed gently, the tears beginning to leave a wet mark on Noctis' jacket. Noctis just held Prompto until he was done crying and was ready to talk.
When the sobs turned to sniffles he finally spoke again. "I thought you hated me Noct."
Noctis sighed as he remembered exactly what his friend as talking about "I'm sorry." He began shaking as he remembered the sight of watching his best friend fall off the train because… of Noctis himself. "I… I hate that I put you through that but to answer that ridiculous question, I was worried sick. All I cared about was finding you. I could never forgive myself if you…" he couldn't bring himself to say those words.
"I almost did." Prompto let out a fake chuckle. "Guess you could say I did at one point when I lost my will to live. But then I thought of you. And I thought to myself, all I need for another day was… only you."
Noctis' eyes widened and he grabbed Prompto's hand gently. "What… happened?" Noctis could feel Prompto shutter in his hold at the thought of having to remember everything and he squeezed the blonde's hand tighter. "You don't have to tell-"
"I need to." Prompto cut Noctis' sentence off and sat up, taking his hand from Noctis' so he could take his bracelet off. "You might hate me after this but-"
Noctis placed his hand on Prompto's shoulder. "I'll never hate you. You should know that."
"You say that but I lied to you… for so long."
Noctis shook his head to dismiss Prompto's fear "Just tell me."
Prompto finished undoing his bracelet that was covering his barcode. "You see. I'm not normal. I wasn't born in Lucis, I was born in a science lab in Niflheim. I never had biological parents that cared about me. I was created… I was created to be… your… enemy." His voice trailed off at the end and he was going to look away again but Noctis cupped his face so they were looking at each other yet again.
"I don't care."
Prompto's eyes widened "What?"
"I don't care." Noctis repeated "About any of it. You're Prompto Argentum of Lucis, protector of the King."
Prompto smiled "Ever at your side, your highness."
Noctis smiled back "Good. Cause, I'm thinking I'm gonna need you at my side" he paused as he blushed a little but there was no going back now. He regretted not being honest once and he wasn't going to make that mistake again. "ruling the land as a king."
Prompto cocked his head to his side "Wait, huh?"
Prompto was not allowed any more time to continue thinking about what Noctis had meant. Noctis had crashed their lips together in a kiss, gentle enough so it wouldn't hurt the blonde. It was slow and passionate and Prompto let himself melt into it. He cupped his hands around Noctis' neck who now had his arms now wrapped around Prompto's waist to pull him closer into a deeper kiss.
Gladio halted Ignis from entering into the room and whispered to the blind man what was happening. With that Ignis smiled and gestured for him and Gladio to let the two be for the time being and him and Gladio continue "looking" for more supplies.
When the kiss broke, Prompto was still seeing stars and was slightly out of breath from the rush. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever expect Noctis, his best friend and soon to be king, to feel the same way he had for years.
"Wow!" was all Prompto could manage as a reply.
Noctis stroked the blonde's cheek "Now, do you believe me? That I could never hate you. That I always worry about your adorable ass."
Prompto nodded into Noctis' hand and smiled the biggest smile he had since they found each other again.
"By the six, I missed that smile!" Noctis said as he stared adoringly at Prompto.
"Noct?" Prompto spoke as he looked up into Noctis' crystal blue eyes.
"Hm?"
"Can you, kiss me again?" he blushed before he went to turn his head away but his lips were captured in another deep and passionate kiss.
