The Citadel was riddled with giggles as the prince and princess of Lucis ran down the corridors.
Chocolate decorated Noctis's lips and Stella's cheeks as they clung onto jars of chocolate spread whilst leaving messy footprints on the floors.
They were going to get into trouble again.
Ignis was going to lecture them about cavities, diabetes and whatever other health complications they might get if they continued stealing chocolate.
Noctis led Stella into their bedroom and they slammed the door. His sister fell to the floor, the glass jars clattering onto the floor as she giggled hysterically.
Noctis grinned as he sat next to her, digging a finger into the jar in his hand.
He licked his finger clean as Stella grabbed another jar, using her left pinky finger to scoop more chocolate out and plop it into her mouth.
They grinned mischievously and looked up as the door opened.
King Regis could only hold a stern face for a few moments.
There were his children, chocolate on their face, fingers and clothes, grinning at him like the naughty angels they were.
"What will we do with you two?" he sighed as Ignis appeared behind him, looking both mortified and exasperated.
The twins looked at each other before giggling harder.
Stella wanted to smile and cringe when she found an old photo.
It was when she and Noctis were around about six, sitting cross-legged in their bedroom, surrounded by pots of chocolate spread. Their fingers were covered in chocolate, there was chocolate smeared on their faces and smudges of chocolate dotted on their clothes.
Regis had taken the opportunity to take a photo in that moment. She could recall having a bath afterwards and the staff were told to not to buy anything with chocolate for a long time.
Stella smiled, shaking her head and tucking the photo into her bag. She adjusted the strap and wandered out of the room.
She looked around the citadel with a wistful smile and continued down the corridor.
Unbeknownst to her, a pair of amber eyes watched her every move closely.
