Iris' eyes snapped open. Slowly sitting up on her bed while she stretched her arms "Huh…how long was I asleep?" she yawned, looking towards her bedroom window. Clearly seeing that it was night time; confirming that she was out for hours.

"Stupid Noctis" she cursed as her memories from earlier came rushing back to her all at once. She stretched her legs, curving her body so she was sitting at the edge of her bed. Her attention was caught as he heard knocks at her bedroom door.

"Come in" she invited while she placed her hands into her lap. She heard her door open as it was slowly pushed open. In a few seconds after Noctis peak his head around the door to look at the girl. She tilted her head as her eyes reflected the boy in question "Oh…Noctis, what do you want?" She asked uninterested as she folds her arms.

Noctis showed a weak smirk as he walked into her room, rubbing his neck while keeping his other arm behind his back "Iris? You still mad…?" Iris rolled her eyes at his words "Am I still mad? I'm not mad at all…I'm furious at you!" she corrected him directing a glare his way.

Noctis through his right hand up in defence "Okay, so I might have broken your vase, I'm sorry, really" he apologize. Iris grunted as she quickly stood to her feet and shoved Noctis against the wall beside her door.

"I told you, I'm not mad about the vase, it really means nothing to me. The flowers are what I loved…they meant so much to me…" she addressed the pinned Noctis who gulped "Maybe you should have kept them in your room…if they meant so much to you" he pondered.

"I do. I bring them downstairs every morning…so I have them nearby to brighten my day…and thoughts" she quickly countered Noctis' argument "Oh…I guess they do mean that much to you…so…" he trails off as he removes his hidden arm from the cover of his back to reveal that he was holding a bouquet of Irises.

"Uh…Uh..I-I—I'm…" Iris strutted as her cheeks became flustered. Noctis smiled "Welcome" he finished her sentence as he handed her the bouquet. Iris took hold of the flowers and smiled "Why…? I thought you said they were just "Dumb Flowers?"

Noctis places his hands onto his hips and smiles "Yeah I still think Flowers aren't that meaningful, but you on the other hand. I love your smile, so I wanted to do my best to keep it" Iris smiles back at the boy in front of her "Thank-You; this means so much…hey Noctis?"

"Yeah? What's up Iris?" he inclined towards the woman who he gave the flowers too "Have you ever given Lunafraya flowers before?" she asks while she places the bouquet on her table "Umm, No…you're the first girl I have ever bought flowers for. Weird right?" he joked.

Iris couldn't say it but she had all her hope pump right back into her body. She was truly happy with the company of the boy that she cared for so much "I feel even luckier now, wait you bought these, how much were they?"

"Oh…1500 Gill…they look the best and were the biggest, so I thought why the heck not" he answers "1500 Gill? Oh Noctis that's too much…why did you buy the best ones? I would have been happy with any flowers. I feel awful now, that Gill could have been used for Food when you guys leave again" Iris sighed while felt horrible to the news "It's not too much once you know that they flowers didn't come by themselves, I'm not crazy enough to just spend that money on just Flowers, there's one more thing I have for you"

Iris looked to Noctis' open-palm which held a black rectangular box "Noctis what is that…?" taking the box with his other free hand he passed it to Iris. She slowly reached to it and took hold of the box.

While the box rested on her right palm she used her left hand to slide the box open and gasped as she sees what is inside "…Noctis…it's beautiful" she takes out a silver necklace with an Iris emblem on it "Here let me help you" he walks behind her and takes the necklace from her.

Iris turned to the Mirror in her bedroom to see Noctis stood behind her while he clipped the necklace around her neck while the Iris emblem rested on the top of her chest "You really know how to treat a girl, don't you?" Iris laughs raising her hands and grabbing the emblem.

"Guess I do…also helps that I have a lot of Gill after all of those hunts that the Guys and I took part in" he smiles which Iris could see with her own reflection in her mirror. She couldn't help but smile back as she felt the butterflies in her stomach return.

"Beautiful" Noctis comments; causing Iris to blush at the boy's words. Noctis quickly realized what he said "The necklace…the necklace is what I meant" he gulps as he too faintly blushes, but enough for Iris to notice it.

Iris turns around to face Noctis as she playfully punches his sides "I would hope so with the amount of money that you spent on it. Hey I wanted to ask…if you would be willing to train me…in private?" she requests; gaining Noctis' interest "Train?...Private? Why do you want that for?" he asked curious while still rubbing his sides where he was punched by Iris.

Iris smiles as she folds her arms "Do you know how protective my Brother is of me? He won't even let you drive when I travel with you guys. I just want to lean to fight…you know? I know you aren't that advanced to fighting styles, but if you can just teach me the basics I would greatly appreciate it"

Noctis shrugged "Basics? Just swing your sword to you get blood on it… not your own blood anyway, that's kind of all to it" he remarked.

"C'Mon...I mean like the athletic side…evading…quickly getting swings in there and making sure you don't get hurt…and how to fully utilize a weapon, please?" she placed her palms together "Can't your Brother teach you?"

"Noctis, I just explained why he can't know"

"Oh okay, how about Prompto?" Noctis asked.

"You want the Gunslinger to teach me how to use a blade? Come on Noctis"

"How about Ignis then, can't he do it?

"Noctis! Just teach me, please?" Iris batted her eyes "Alright fine, but can we start tomorrow? I'm too tired right now" he explained as he yawned, covering his mouth.

"Sure" she agreed as she quickly she tiptoes and pecked Noctis on his cheek with her lips "Thanks Noctis, I promise I'll try my hardest" Noctis nodded to her as he waved to her "Okay…I'll be going now. And will see you tomorrow" he told her as he walked out of her room and closed her door.

"Goodnight" Iris comments as she jumps onto her bed and grabs one of her feathered pillows holding it between her chest and arms and she looks up to the sealing "…Oh my god…I just kissed him on his cheek…and I loved it!" she thought to herself, kicking her legs into the air.

"Never am I listening to a fortune cookie again" she squeals to herself. Noctis was stood outside Iris' door as he placed her palm on the same spot where the girl had kissed him "Oh my god…she just kissed me on my cheek…and I…I'm so dead if her Brother or Lunafraya finds out" he gulps.
