OKAY FIRST OFF. ITS 2015 AND I ACTUALLY LEARNED HOW TO WRITE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT SENTENCES. I ALSO DISCOVERED THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS STUPID STORY IN MY EMAIL'S DEEP RECESSES AND SO HERE YOU GO. THIS SHOULD QUELL THE QUESTIONS LINGERING IN YOUR MINDS FROM SO LONG AGO. ITS FUCKING DONE.
"Well now I do!"
"Well...I don't even know if it's what I think it is."
"What do you think is happening exactly?" Zack inquired.
"Well, I think, maybe, y'know they...are...umm..."
"Spit it out!
"You know!"
"No, we don't know. If we knew we wouldn't be asking!" Zack argued throwing his hands up in frustration.
••••••••••••••••••
"I'm sorry, it was in the heat of the moment." Light stood awkwardly as Cloud sat on the edge of the bed just as awkward.
"What about Noctis?"
Lightning was silent, she didn't want to be in the room, let alone answer questions about Noctis.
"Light, I can't just sit here and wait another four years for an answer. Noctis and I are leaving back to Tenebrea...Just tell me..Me or him?"
"I-I don't know...I don't know anything anymore...I have to go." she turned her back to him.
"Quit running from your problems Light! "
"It's the only thing I'm good at.." She said quietly, he barely heard her as she left the room.
'You're just gonna run away again? Is that it!? A coward's way out..' Her conscious was right. She wanted to storm down the stairs past the bar patrons and leave again, but this time, would it really help? Did it even help last time? 'I have to face this.' she turned around.
"I have to do this." she told herself. She opened the door and came back to a pacing Cloud. He turned and stopped.
"What?" His voice was monotone yet firm.
"I have to do this." She walked towards him and planted her lips on his. She pulled away and backed up.
He was slightly confused and not sure what she meant by having to do this.
"Sorry, I had to know if I felt anything anymore." her voice low and shaky.
"Did you?"
"No, did you?"
He shook his head no. "Maybe we should try again?" Their lips met a second time, he pulled away. "Anything?"
"No."
"Well, this is extremely awkward."
"Tell me about it..."
The room was filled with an awkward silence. It stayed that way for awhile until Cloud broke it.
"Light, you should go to him. If he makes you happy, that's all that matters. I wish I could be that guy, but I'm not. So go."
"Cloud...thanks." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and flashed him a smile. She left, closing the door behind her.
•••••••••
"If you're not gonna tell us then I will respect that. But it's getting late, I do have to check in my hotel. If you see Claire, tell I an at my hotel." Noctis left and Zack was left with Tifa. Even though their arguments were very convincing, she didn't break as much as she wanted.
"Tifa, tell me what you thought was happening?!" Zack exhaustedly asked, it was another useless attempt. This time his efforts were finally rewarded.
"I think...that Cloud and Light are getting back together!"
There was a pause. They heard footsteps on the staircase and saw Light hurriedly rush towards them.
"Have you seen Noctis?"
"He just left, but wait, so how are you and Cloud?"
"What? We are fine."
"So you are back together?!"
"No, but I can tell you this, we both are fine. But I really need riding Noctis."
"Not awkward guys, not awkward if we don't let it be awkward..."
Tifa rolled her eyes. "He left to his hotel."
"Way to be vague, Teef."
-Light's POV-
Part of me knows that Cloud and I were supposed to go our separate ways. I know that he'll find someone. But for now, the thing I'm worried about is where is Noctis?
Tifa didn't really be specific about which hotel? So I'm basically driving around town looking for the damn hotel.
"If I was a Prince, were would I stay?"
"Well, I would stay at the Grand Crystallis Hotel!" Zack answered my rhetorical question fromthe backseat.
"Why did we agree to let you come too?" Tifa asked from the passenger's seat.
"No, he has a point.."
I drove toward the city's grandest, most elegant hotel. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
"I know I have a point!"
We parked and made our way towards the hotel. Haven't I done this before? We made it to the front desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
"Do you know which room Noctis Caelum is staying in?"
"Oh. Let's see, he would be on the eighth floor, you just take the elevator and push eight and you're on the eighth floor, because he is darting on the eighth floor. Funny thing about the eighth floor-"
"We get it! Eighth floor!" Tifa said annoyed by the eager clerks enthusiasm over the eighth floor.
•••••••
"I hate elevator music." Zack said.
"Oh look, finally the eighth floor!"
I strode out, Zack and Tifa trailing me. "Guys, I think you two should stay out here."
"Fine. As long as you come back, I don't wait to stay here to long. The eighth floor is scary."
I approached the room Noctis was staying in. I knocked, and I waited. Their wasn't a response. I knocked a little louder this time. Nothing. I went back to Tifa and Zack. "Mission was a a failure, time to pack it up boys."
What was I expecting a happy ending that Noctis would slam the door open and we would ride happily on majestic stallions towards the infinite fields of happiness.
Life doesn't work that way. I am sure nothing works that way unless you're life is a Disney movie.
•••••••
I made it back to my dormitory, I dropped off Tifa and Zack at the bar. It was quiet in the halls, weird ususay somebody is having a party or something.
I came inside and was expecting a warm welcome from Ammy but she was nowhere in sight.
"Ammy? Where are you?" I said in a a sing song voice.
Still nothing. I made my way towards the living room and was surprised to see him there.
Noctis with his dark suit on sitting on the couch with Ammy sleeping, her head on his lap, waiting for me. He shifted out from under her. He got to his feet and made his way towards me.
"Noct? Why are you in my dorm?"
"Finishing what I started."
"Wha-" But k was cut off my his lips connecting with mine. I found myself kissing back.
"Bark!"
I pulled away, Ammy was fully awake now and happily wagging her tail. I noticed something around her neck. I left came towards her and untied the piece of ribbon loosely toed around her neck.
"What the hell?" I asked as something dropped into my hand. I lifted it up to see what the foreign object was. A ring. This cannot be happening.
"Noct, what is this?"
I turned to him and he smiled. "Well, it's a ring, and you wear rings on your fingers, that one in particular goes on your ring finger on your left hand."
"You're not telling me this is a proposal?" I was caught off guard, my voice was low barely audible.
"Is it a no?"
"Yes."
"Wait 'yes' that its a no?"
"No."
"I'm so confused.."
"Yes, I will marry you."
"Wait, yes?"
"Are you surprised that I said yes?"
"Well, I mean I thought you were going to attack me for breaking into your dorm and then reject me.."
"Wait you broke in? Way to kill the moment."
"I had to, you're roommate is over at that Hope kid's place."
"You could've waited like everybody else in the world."
"Just shut up and let it happen, cause your killing the moment."
"Right...how'd you even do-" I was cut off by his lips crashing again into mine. I think I'll be quiet now.
••••••••••••
-Normal POV-
"Well, what do we do know?"
"I don't know, you wanna go drink or something?" Zack suggested. It was quiet after everyone left. Cloud left to take a walk.
"Sure...or we can do something else..."
"Like what?"
Light, Noctis and Ammy were driving back to the bar. Light eagerly wanted to tell Tifa abou her engagement.
As they walked in, they heard some rather strange noises from upstairs.
"Harder, Zack!" then someone grunted.
"Do you think we should we come back?" Noctis scratched his head.
"No! They can stop for two seconds! I am not gonna wait for that to be over with!"
"Zack, that's way too big!"
"Don't worry, Teef, it'll fit!"
"I am so serious. I think we should just come back later!"
But Light ran upstairs, Noctis reluctantly followed. Light knocked fiercely on the door. "Make yourselves decent! I'm coming in!"
She kicked the door open, the sight was even more shocking than expected.
"What the hell is going on in here?"
"Bunk beds?"
"Why? Nevermind I don't wanna know!"
"What did you think we were doing?"
"It Did not sound like that from downstairs."
"You are a sick minded girl, Light!"
