Shiseido, MAC, and Maybelline

by Grac3

When Noctis is five, two things happen: first, he is chosen by the Crystal; second, he realises that he is not always a 'he'. Over the years, he musters up the courage to tell those for whom he cares, but each of them have their own gender and sexuality and really he shouldn't have been worried at all. Title is from I Do by Placebo.

4. Chapter 3 - Ravus

A.N.: Written for the kink meme:

Gen or Noct/Any, NO ONE IS STRAIGHT
Noct realizes he's not straight, and has a hard time coming out. He finally decides to tell a friend... Who turns out to also be LGBTQIA.
So is everyone else he tells.
Give me Noct coming out to everyone (his dad? Bros? Ravus? Luna?) and they are ALL not straight (or cis.) All of them. And Noct was just too clueless to realize it.

Chapter 3 – Ravus

When Noctis was eighteen, he told Ravus.

Umbra stayed with Noctis for another fortnight after he had spoken with Lunafreya. When Noctis sent him back, the next page of the notebook was adorned with a message and a photo that Prompto had taken of him and Noctis.

Noctis also sent Umbra back with a letter addressed to Ravus.

Dear Ravus,

It sucks that we don't get to talk more often. I know your position in the army keeps you really busy, and I have my own duties as well, and making the time to talk seems to get harder all the time.

I hope you're well. I hear the Empire are getting ready to take Galahd soon. I can't pretend to be happy about it, but I hope you are safe.

I'm not sure how much Luna tells you from our conversations, but I've made a friend. His name is Prompto. I think you two might get on quite well. He loves Pryna and Umbra almost as much as you do.

So… there's a reason I'm writing to you now. Again, I don't know if Luna's already told you this, but last time we spoke I told her that I'm genderfluid, and I wanted you to know as well. I know we don't keep in touch as much as Luna and I do, but I still consider you a friend. I hope you think the same of me, even now you know about… me.

Anyway, stay safe.

Noctis

He got a reply a week later.

Dear Noctis,

I thank you that you feel comfortable enough with me to share this information with me. Rest assured that it does not colour my opinion of you, and I do still consider you a friend.

As always, I pray for your safety. Even behind the Wall, there is still danger.

Lunafreya told me that she told you about her sexuality. I feel it only in the interest in fairness that I tell you about mine. I am asexual. I hope that I may still find love in this life, but the army does indeed take up so much of my time.

I was not involved in the decision to take Galahd. I hope that I can play my part with as little violence as possible.

Stay safe, Noctis.

Ravus Nox Fleuret.
