Read and enjoy!
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. The day the couple have been planning for was just hours away now. Both nervous and yet excited. Noctis was in his castle with his friends. Marcus and Laris were playing cards while Quinn was reading a book. Noctis was actually just watching Laris and Marcus play. Although, most of the time he would zoom into his own thoughts. For some unknown reason to him, he couldn't get Stella and the fact that she was dating Hope out of his mind.
"It's weird…" he started to speak as he closed his eyes. His friends looked at him with a confused look. What could he possibly be talking about? "Stella and Hope, I mean. My Ex is dating my rival…," Laris grinned as on cue he started to speak.
"Is someone jealous?" he asked as he stood up. Noctis opened his yellow eyes and looked over at the blond hair male. The look Laris was receiving was menacing and cold. He swallowed and sat back in his seat. Marcus and Quinn grinned as they noticed this.
"It's going to be a big day so I'm calling it a night," Noctis said as he stood up from his seat and headed out the door. Laris, Quinn, and Marcus watched him leave.
"I wonder…will he get married tomorrow or will he let jealousy take over him and allow him to make a stupid move on the one he claimed to move on from?," Quinn asked as he closed his book. Laris and Marcus looked at Quinn and sighed. They were all wondering the same thing.
Noctis had just reached his master bedroom. He opened the door and headed straight for his bed. He sat down on his king size bed and took his boots off. He sighed as he lay on his back.
"Tomorrow you will be my Queen…Claire…Lightning…" he thought to himself. "How will she be addressed as? Queen Lightning or Queen Claire…?" his thoughts were soon taken over by sleep.
~Beginning of Dream~
His eyes opened as he looked at the King of Tenebare.
"So do you agree to the terms Prince Caelum?" the king said. Noctis showed no interested in what the king was saying and simply replied with, "Yes your highness..."
"Good then go meet with her and tell her you are done seeing her."
Noctis respired as he left the castle of Tenebare. He entered the car that was waiting for him. Quinn opened the door as Noctis approached. Once his prince was inside the car, he closed the door and headed for the driver's side. He entered the car and looked back at his friend. Before he could ask where to next, Noctis told him the next stop. After about ten minutes of driving, Quinn reached the park he was instructed to go to. Before he could get out the car to open the door for his prince, Noctis had opened the car door and stepped out. He closed the door as he spotted his blond hair lover at the time. His face lit up a little until the voice of her father repeated his earlier statement, "I need you to end your little affair with my daughter. I have already chosen a husband for her. If you don't end it with her tonight I will have to deal with this in a situation we will both like to avoid. The terms are quite simply. End your little games and that will be the end of it or I will attack your kingdom and every one of your men will die. Do you agree to the terms Prince Caelum?"
Noctis sighed as he made his way to Stella. He looked at the ground for a few seconds as he thought of a lie to tell her. He looked up at her as he saw her smile start to fade and concern start to take over. He forced a smile which quickly faded.
"Stella, we need to talk," his voice was too low to hear. Stella tilted her head slightly as she gave him a questionable look.
He took a deep breath and started to speak, "I can't…I can't be with you anymore!" Stella eyes shot open for a few seconds. She forced a smile that said –This isn't funny-. Noctis looked down to the ground. "I'm sorry Stella…I…just don't love you anymore…" he said as he forced himself to look at her. If he wanted her to believe him then somehow he was going to have to show he meant it. Stella eyes started to water up. She wiped her eyes and started to run away from him. Noctis closed his eyes and sighed.
As he reopened his eyes he found himself at a different park. He was now wearing a black tux. He looked at the people that were now standing as the bride's theme was playing. He looked at his soon to be wife as she walked down the space that was in between the chairs. She turned to face him once she had reached him. For some unknown reason, he couldn't exactly see her face. He removed the veil from her face. His eyes shot open as he noticed it wasn't Lightning, it was Stella he was marrying.
~End of Dream~
Noctis sat up on his bed as he found himself panting. He rubbed his eyes and stood up. He opened his bedroom door and blinked as he saw Laris. Laris grinned.
"Hey Prince, I just came to wake you up so that you could get ready for your wed-" Laris started to say as he was pulled in the room by Noctis. The prince closed the door shut and looked over at his confused blond hair friend.
"Where is Quinn?" he asked with his hand still on the doorknob.
"He went to get the bride," Laris replied. "What's up Noctis? Is something wrong?"
Noctis shook his head and then sighed. "Actually yeah…I had a weird dream that I wanted to tell Quinn about."
"You can tell me! I won't tell anyone."
Noctis smiled slightly. Part of what he just said was true. He wouldn't tell anyone except Marcus and Quinn.
"I'm marrying Lightning, right? I'm not marrying Stella am I!" he asked. Laris blinked at the question and simply answered, "Of course you're marrying Lightning. Why would you be marrying Stella when she's dating the short white hair kid?"
"I-I love Light right…I mean…" Noctis started to speak as Laris' voice interrupted him.
"What the hell, Noctis? You can't start having cold feet now!" his voice showed some hint of annoyance. He took a deep breath and calmed down. "Look Noctis…I don't know what really ever happened between you and Stella but I don't think I ever seen you as happy as you are with Lightning. However, I'm not the one getting married, so you have to make your decision within an hour." Laris left Noctis' room and closed the door behind him. Noctis sighed as he went to his bed to sit down.
"Thanks a lot Laris…"Noctis thought to himself. "Stupid dream…"
Noctis looked up as he heard a knock on his bedroom door. "Come in!" he yelled for the person could hear. The door opened slowly and a blond hair princess stepped inside the room. Noctis blinked as he spotted who it was. He opened his mouth to start talking but was cut off before anything came out.
"I just wanted to congratulate you and I hope you'll have a nice life with her beside you," Stella said as she smiled. He sighed lightly and smiled.
"Thanks Stella," he said as he stood up. "I want to tell you the real reason I broke it off…"
Stella giggled which surprised him. "I already know the real reason. I figured it out that night when I got back to the castle. Father was telling Mother about it…its fine Noctis. I'm not holding it against you…I probably would have done the same thing if my country was being threaten." She smiled as she looked around his room and then back him. "Well you should start getting ready. You only have forty-five minutes till the wedding starts."
The prince nodded and the princess left the room. Both content with now being able to move forward. Stella was pleased with him finally being able to tell her the truth and Noctis was pleased that he was finally able to get it out of his chest.
He stood up and looked over at his dresser. He smiled as he spotted the picture that Laris and Fang had taken of him kissing Lightning on their double date. He looked over at his closet where his tuxedo was.
Forty minutes have gone by since he had his visit with Stella. He was now at the park standing in front of a circler fountain. He looked at Laris, who was his best man, and his other two friends that were standing behind him. Quinn and Marcus smiled as they looked over at the guests, who were taking their seat.
Once everyone was seated, the pianist started to play the theme for the bridesmaid. The first bridesmaid to come out was Fang. She wore a red dress that pasted her feet. It was sleeveless and tight up top to show her curves. Right near her thighs, the dress started to loosen. The red started to end as a blue color started to show. Her hair was up into a bun with a few strings of hair hanging loose. As she got closer, Laris placed his arm out for her to take. She smiled as she placed her arm around his. Once they were a few steps away from the prince, Fang and Laris spilt and went to their spots.
Vanille was just a few steps behind Fang as she met up with Marcus. She wore the same dress as Fang and her hair was the same as well. She smiled as she spited from Marcus and went to stand in her spot. Serah was the maid of honor. She took Quinn's arms once she reached him. They both split up and went to their spots.
The pianist started to play the bride's theme. Everyone stood up and turned around to look at the limo. With a few seconds, Lightning appeared out of the limo. She looked at the guest for a second before looking over to where Noctis was standing. She smiled as she made her way to him. He smiled as he saw how gorgeous she looked in her wedding dress.
With every step she took she pasted her guest and became closer to her soon to be husband. He placed his hand out for her. Lightning took his hand into her as Sarah took her bouquet of flowers. They both smiled at each other as Snow started to speak. (He was asked to wed them by Noctis…)
After a long speech from Snow, it was finally time for the Noctis and Lightning to say their vows.
"I, Clair Farron, take you, Noctis Lucis Caelum, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part. And here to, I pledge you my faithfulness." Lightning said as she smiled and placed the ring on his ring finger. Noctis grinned with happiness.
"You're turn, Noctis," Snow said. Noctis nodded as he started to speak, "I, Noctis Lucis Caelum, give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live." He placed the ring on her ring finger.
"You may now kiss your bride," Snow said as he smiled. Noctis placed his arm around her waist as he kissed her. Lightning kissed him back as she wrapped her arms around his neck and everyone cheered. They broke their kiss and hurried to the limo. At the door of the limo, Lightning looked at her sister as she gave her the bouquet of flowers. She smiled as she looked at the crowd of girls pile a few feet away from her.
Fang sighed as she was at the front with her arms crossed over her chest. Vanille smiled as she whispered to her cousin. "Get ready!" Fang rolled her eyes. She didn't want to be jammed in a pile of girls just for a bouquet of flowers. This was all Laris and Vanille fault.
Lightning turned around with her back facing the girls. She threw the bouquet over her head and turned around to see who would catch it. Vanille was jumping for it just as all the other girls did. Fang watched the bouquet head straight for her. She sighed and grabbed it once it was in her reach. Vanille smiled brightly at her.
"Heh, your way to tall!" she said happily. Fang returned Vanille's smile with her own. She headed over to Laris who was also smiling.
Lightning and Noctis got into the limo. The driver closed the door and headed to the driver seat. He entered the limo and started to the car. He pulled out of parking and started to drive away from the park were all their friends were.
Hope and Stella smiled as they held each others hand and started to head back to their house.
-Fin!-
