Chapter 9:
Noctis had been looking out the window at their hotel room ever since they got back, he wasn't talking nor looking at the brunette even if she tried to have a conversation with him. When she looked at his face, his eyes were different, they were cold looking, his blue orbs only added to that effect, and she could have sworn she saw it change to into red briefly making her shake her head to clear the things she was seeing. His change of mood was getting to her and she doesn't know why he was acting like that.
"Noct...? Ummm..." The look he gave her sent shivers down her spine, he wasn't glaring at her but it scared her. It was like he became an entirely different person in one flick of her fingers. "N-Nothing..."
"I'm going to bed." He said coldly, sounding really exhausted. Tifa kept thinking of what she had done wrong for him to act like that. She had just found out where she came from and she's very confused and her head was getting worse, but he looked like he doesn't want anything to do with her anymore.
The drive towards Costa del sol was uneventful, neither of them talked, Noctis wouldn't even look at her. His face still held that cold look and it was starting to scare her. She figured she could talk to his friends and ask them about him, she realized she still didn't know anything about him at all or what he was really like. She hurriedly went out of the car as asoon as they have parked outside the Villa, she needed to talk to Prompto or Ignis or Gladiolus as soon as possible. She went inside the house to look for them and she praised her luck when she found them on the couch, playing what looked like a board game, the sight made her snort, making the three of them look at her direction.
"Ruby!" Prompto greeted her with a huge grin on his face. He stood up to give her a bone crushing hug. Gladiolus smirked while Ignis adjusted his glasses, both of their eyebrows furrowed when they noticed the raven haired man behind her. Prompto gasped then he gave Noctis his bone crushing hug instead, making him wince.
"Let go." Noctis said in his raspy voice. Prompto immediately backed away with his hands held up in surrender.
"Okay. Okay. What's with you Mr. Grouchypants?" Noctis stared at him with a blank look, his cold eyes boring to his soul before he turned around to walk away. "Hey, where you goin'?" Tifa sighed then sat down on the couch beside Ignis.
"He was suddenly all cold to me like that..." She said with her head down. The three male in the room looked at each other.
"Don't mind him, he's always like that." Gladiolus said in his deep voice. Tifa looked at him with a confused look.
"What do you mean he's always like that? He's never acted that way with me before."
"Well, with you, you are correct but with everyone else, yes, he acts that way. You kind of softened his hard interior and exterior milady, but I'm guessing something happened for him to suddenly revert to his old self?" Ignis said as he studied Tifa. Tifa shook her head at what she found out.
"So... He's just acting all sweet and nice in front of me? What's his motive?"
"No, no, no, no, what he does for you is genuine, I guess he liked you from the first time he saw you. We were actually scratching our heads at his sudden change but we decided not to confront him about it." Prompto said with a sheepish smile.
"His sweet self towards you was actually making me throw up in my mouth." Gladiolus said in his deep voice then he guffawed. TIfa smiled at his statement.
"I see... Let me tell you what happened then." Tifa started talking about the little encounter at Edge, the three of them were in complete shock but they were confused why would Noctis be angry at Tifa when she was the one who needed emotional support, of all times.
"He's such a prick. He's kind of a spoiled brat that's why." Prompto said with his arms crossed.
"Atleast you finally found people who knows you." Gladiolus said. Ignis agreed by nodding his head.
"That's true, but... Noct... I don't know, maybe..." She groaned in frustration. She was beginning to get angry at the way he was acting. She suddenly felt like going over to him to confront him. She stood up and the three men in the room noticed how she suddenly stormed away, they looked at each other before they followed her towards Noctis' bedroom. When Tifa reached his door. She inhaled then exhaled a loud breath before she knocked. No answer. She knocked again. There was no answer. She knocked louder, still no answer.
"Noct!" She yelled while she pounded the door, the others can clearly see how it was shaking by the contact. "Noct!" Still nothing.
Oh that's it!
She didn't know why she did it, but she suddenly punched the door, causing it to snap open with a bang, big and small pieces of wood flying everywhere, causing shock to the four people who witnessed the unexpected event. She started striding towards Noctis, who was sitting on the bed, her face full of fury. She atleast needed an explanation why he was acting so cold towards her. Something suddenly echoed in Noctis's head, something Barret had told him in Seventh heaven.
She's the planet's greatest martial artist.
"Fuck." He said in monotone. Suddenly, a sword appeared on his hand out of no where and he jumped back away from Tifa, the martial artist's eyes widened but decided to dismiss it. Seeing he has a weapon in hand, she lifted her right foot high then swung it back down at the edge of the bed causing it to tilt sideways, then she effortless kicked it towards Noctis, who sliced it in half with his sword. The distraction allowed Tifa to charge at him, she slid on the floor to kick his foot but he manage to avoid her attack and he jumped away from her then he started running out the door.
"Noct!" Tifa yelled as she went after him, running pass the three still shocked men at what had just occured.
"The lover's quarrel of the century folks." Prompto said dumbly and slowly, his mouth still agape.
"Noctis!" Tifa yelled as they ran outside the house, Tifa got hold of a metal rake and she started to twirl it around her before she charged at Noctis, who looked back when he sensed her coming and he repelled her attack with his sword. They stared at each coldly before they backed away from each other with Tifa back flipping and him sliding on the sand.
"Why are you acting like a brat suddenly?!" She asked while she clutched the rake on her right hand. Noctis stood up then dusted himself, his sword disapearing into thin air.
"I'm not acting like a brat." He said coolly while he stared at her with his cold eyes.
"Then what is this?" Tifa gestured to all of him angrily then she threw away the rake. Noctis mouth formed a thin line.
"I'm not going to be attached to you anymore when someday you'll just go away and leave." He said without looking at her. Tifa's blood boiled.
How can he assume things on his own like that?!
She charged at him again, he managed to grab her fist before it landed on his face, Tifa stared at him with eyes hard and furious, Noctis however still held his blank, cold look. He could only think of one thing while he stared at the beautiful and powerful woman in front of him.
Damn.
The next thing they knew, they were in one of the guest rooms, with Tifa being pinned on the wall and their clothes being discarded one by one, attacking each other's mouths like animals in heat.
Things that had just occurred will be talked about later.
