Precedent

by your-biohazardous-friend

A collection of short stories/drabbles circling around Prompto and his friendship with Noctis (and to some extend with king Regis as well) prior to the game. All the stories are in more-or-less connected with eachother but could also be read separately (unless obvious numbering is too obvious to avoid).

FLOWERS

The king stared at the teen before him. The blond's cheeks were red as tomato. Hands visibly shaking. Eyes wide in panic, glossy with tears. Clarous snickered, making the boy redden even more.

"happy birthday, your majesty" the teen piped out, Regis smiled and took the bouquet from the high schooler's sweaty palms.

The kid immediately hid behind Noctis.

"thank you… erm…" King glanced at his son who smiled coyly in return.

No help from him, it seemed.

"P-Prompto" blond kid suggested "Argentum… Prompto Argentum, sir… your majesty- Highness"

"ah, yes… Prompto" Another smile and nod "thank you, son"

If Regis though that the young man's blush couldn't be more prominent, he was wrong. The redness of kid's cheeks looked like a raging fever making the kid's freckled blotch on his skin.

The king made a mental note to ask Ignis to buy this poor soul a savior-vivre manual. If he was to tag along the prince for a little bit longer he ought not to make such faux-passes.

Chrysanthemums are funeral flowers in Lucis, especially white ones.
