-Somewhere out-there in the main city of Lucis; 2:00 pm-
"Why don't you just tell her already, Noct?~ You've been best-friends since like forever, but you still don't have enough courage to tell her~", the blonde-man nudged his friend on the arm while they were walking along the side-walk going to the brunette's apartment.
"That's easy for you to say, Prompto. I'm not like you who just recently confessed to Vanille that you liked her, when she clearly likes you just as much. But this is harder...", Noctis sighed. "It's not that I'm only trying to tell her that I like her... But I'm asking her to marry me..."
"Believe in yourself Noct! You can do it!", Prompto encouraged his bestfriend.
"But how?", he asked.
"Hmmm...", Prompto placed his 2 fingers under his chin as if he was thinking. "AHA! I've got the perfect idea!", his eyes shined brightly as he dragged Noctis to his home and called 2 of their friends.
-Noctis's Apartment; 2:30 pm-
~Waiting Room~
DING! DING! DING!
Prompto rused to the door to open and see his and Noctis' 2 friends; Ignis and Gladious.
"Glad you guys could make it early!", he placed both arms on each one of their necks.
"What did you want us for? You seem very excited when you called.", Ignis said pushing his glasses up.
"Well... I want you guys to help me help Noct regarding his shyness."
"Shyness 'bout what?", Gladious asked.
"Let's just say that he needs to overcome this so badly, that we need this to be done by tomorrow.", Prompto grinned.
Ignis and Gladious looked at their blode friend with questioning looks.
"Wait... What is that thing that Noct needs to do tomorrow?", Gladious asked.
"Whatever he needs to do, we'll help him. It seems like it's really important.", Ignis said.
Prompto's grin turned bigger as he pulled the 2 into a tight bro hug. "Hehehehe... It is important. And of course, you guys will know soon."
"Need...air...please...", Ignis and Gladious chocked the words out as they were laching air due to the tight hug. Then, Prompto let's go.
"Whoos! Sowwy. Anyways, let's go to Noct and discuss the plan with him.", Prompto grabbed their wrist to drag them to where Noct is.
~Living Room~
"Yo Noct! I got Ignis and Gladious to help!"
"What is that important thing that you need to do Noct?", Gladious asked.
Noctis scratched the back of his head. "Hehehe... Well... It's just that..."
As Noctis explained, Ignis couldn't help but smirk and Gladious just couldn't stop grinning like Prompto.
"So that's why you were playing the piano... Its been awhile since you did though...", Gladious said.
"But we'll help you anways.", Ignis smiled.
"Yosh! Let's get to work!", Prompto yelled.
After that may have been like 5 hours, they finished most of the preparations. All that was needed was to text the 'special guest'.
~Special guest's bedroom, 8:00pm~
Ring! Ring! Ri-
As she got her phone, a notification appeared.
'1 new message'
She opened the message.
'From: Noctis
'Umm... Hey there. I was wondering if you could go to my house tomorrow, I need to ask you something.'
She immeadiately replied.
'Sure. What time?'
After awhile another message was received.
'About 8:00pm. Please come alone, okay? See you tomorrow.'
She smiled at the message she received, closed her phone and went to bed to prepare early to go to her friend's house tomorrow.
The Next day
BIP! BIP! BIP!
She clicked her moogle alarm clock to silence it and got off her bed to prepare for what she needs to do for the day and get ready to go to her friend's house that evening.
After she finished what she needed to finish, she looks at the watch and saw it was 6:30 pm. 'I still have time for a shower...', she thought.
After taking a shower she headed off to her closet to pick her clothes. She wore a simple long-sleeved white polo with small pink lines and 2 brown bottons on each end, brown pants, black sandals and a Fossil watch. She wore no make-up nor did she fix her hair into a ponytail or a bun.
She went the living room only to be greeted by someone who's looks are similar to her, but in a more 'gentle' way and had a darker shade of the same eye color, specifically her younger sibling.
"Hey sis, where are you going?", the younger sibling asked.
"Noctis said he needed to tell me something and I should meet up with him at his house.", she replied.
"Oh is that so... Well, be careful going there, okay sis?"
"Of course. Thanks for concerning.", she kissed her younger sibling on the forehead. "Gotta go, bye."
"Bye sis!"
She went to her friend's home just to find the lights closed. She went closer to the door and knocked.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
'No answer...', she thought.
"Hey Noct, you in there?", she asked as she continually knocked.
'Still no answer... I'll just go inside and find him.'
After deciding what she would do, she opened the door then opened the lights. What she saw made her question more.
"What is he up to?", she mumbled to herself.
She saw small candles at the floor, leading to a room. She immeadiately followed it to see if she could find who she was looking for. Then she saw a note at the table beside the stair case, saying; 'To: Light'. As she found her name on the letter, she decided to get it and read it. She raised an eyebrow as she read the contents. 'Hey, if you were wondering about the set-up, well... It's part of what I wanted to ask you. But, I think, now your curious where am I, right? Go up the stairs and simply follow the candles.' She did what was told of her to do and walked up stairs.
She was in utter shock as she reached the top of the stairs. The room was emitted by warm orangish-yellow lights caused by the candles and shandeliers. Red, pink and blue rose petals were scattered on the floor leading her to another room.
'What's he planning to do?', she asked in her mind.
She found no note anywhere and decided to simply follow the rose petals. As she followed the rose petals, she headed to the balcony, then as she openes the door, the piano starts playing along with someone starting to sing...
Hmm...
105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do...
Unknowable to her, her face was turning pink.
'Is he singing that for... Me...?.', she mentally asked herself.
And you know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough...
Suddenly, Noctis showed himself wearing a tuxedo, while holding a bouquet of roses and a small box on his other hand. He slowly approached her and continued singing..
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me~
Her eyes were starting to water and still wide in shock. She just couldn't feel so happy that the one she secretly liked- no- loved for a long time, is proposing to her in such a away that is just so romantic ~ Her thought were cut short when he continued...
How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life
You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
Tears started to fall as he said the next lines..
And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you, girl I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I say
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Would you marry me baby?
105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do.
As he ended the song, he gave the bouquet to her and went down on one knee in front of her, and spoke;
"This might be the most common way of proposing but..." He opened the box to show a ring. "Lightning Farron, will you marry me?"
Her tears turn much more manier as he said those words and she replied almost chocking her words;
"Y-y-yes.."
Noctis smiled at his bestfriend-that-accepted-his-propoasal, he took the ring and her right hand, placing it in her finger. He slowly got up and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her; then spoke;
"I'm glad you accepted my proposal. I was worried that you would decline..."
"O-of course not! I actually liked you for quite awhile now..."
Noctis smiled and caressed his now-lover's rosy cheek and wiped of the remains of her tears. Then, he slowly learned in so that their foreheads were touching. Light did the finishing part by bring her lips closer, colliding with Noctis'. They kissed in gentle yet passionate kiss way, and slowly broke of after. Then Light spoke:
"I love you, my Night."
"I love you too, my Light."
Once again, the two lovers shared a kiss under the moonlight and candle light, while fireworks were starting to blast.
I hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned for future chapters. :D
Clarification: Noctis in Latin means 'Night', while Lightning's nickname is 'Light'. :3
