Prompto leaned over his desk, god the first day back at school was always the worst…
Especially after lunch…
The blonde sighed before darting his eyes to the clock… Again…
When was it ever going to end…?
The blonde was torn from his thoughts as he felt a harsh nudge against his side, nearly knocking him off his seat.
"What was that f-" Prompto began as he watched Noct toss a screwed up piece of paper at him.
"Is something wrong Prompto?"
The blonde jumped at the sound of his name before turning to the source.
The teacher…
Oh no…
He hadn't used his inside voice…
The blonde cringed as he felt eyes on him…
A lot of eyes…
"Uh, ah no miss" Prompto stated sheepishly, his eyes averting to the desk in front of him.
"Good" the teacher stated before returning to the subject she was instructing, of which Prompto had no idea because he hadn't been listening.
The blonde waited until all the attention was diverted from him and back to the teacher before collecting the screwed up piece of paper in his fingers.
Prompto's curiosity grew as he began unravelled the paper.
Hey do you wanna come over after school? We could get pizza and play playstation, just like last time…
Prompto watched as everyone packed up their belongings, stood up and vacated the classroom.
Where the hell was Noct?
How come he still hadn't come back from the bathroom…?
Surely he wasn't still in there…
The blonde glanced across at the bag, papers and books strewn about the prince's desk.
Hmm…
Perhaps he should just call him…
Noct slouched in the back seat of the car, refusing to put his seat belt on as he gazed out the window at the objects moving by.
"Now Noct, how are you feeling?" Ignis's familiar voice crept into his ears as he forced himself to pay attention.
He was so exhausted…
But why…
"I guess" Noct mumbled before closing his eyes.
Ignis glanced up into the rear vision mirror, trying to figure out for himself if the prince was okay.
It was pretty clear he was not…
His skin was paler than normal and he seemed like he just wanted to sleep all the time. But then again this is Noct we're talking about. Was there ever a time where he didn't want to sleep?
"I am not convinced your highness" Ignis mumbled softly, only half expecting a response from the prince.
Why wasn't he answering…?
Prompto decided to give up before beginning the arduous process of stuffing all the prince's belongings into his bag before leaving the classroom.
Maybe he should swing my Noct's apartment and drop this stuff off…
But then Noct's apartment isn't exactly on the way…
Hmm…
What to do…
"I didn't realise you loved class so much, especially considering you never pay attention"
Huh?
That voice…
Prompto darted his head towards the teacher, who was still standing behind her desk.
"W-what makes you think I love class so much?"
"Well your still here aren't you?"
The blonde glanced around the empty room, looking at what in particular he wasn't sure.
"Oh right" he nodded before making a b line for the door.
Right. The decisions been made.
He's going to see Noct.
Noct sighed deliberately as he slowly, and I mean slowly climbed the steps toward the front door.
"Now now Noct you are very lucky, most children your age have to walk all the way from school, at least you got a ride in the car" Ignis reminded the young prince of his privileged background.
Noct rolled his eyes before yanking the front door open.
"Yeah yeah… Hey wait?! What do you mean by child?! I'm not a child!" Noct spat out before realising how harshly he had spoken.
Oops… Where did that come from?
The dark haired boy aimed straight for the couch, letting his body fall onto it before turning to the tv.
Remote…
Where is the remote…?
His eyes darted around the room, trying to locate the allusive object…
His eyes fell on something…
There…
Oh no…
Now he's going to have to get up to get it…
…
…
…
"Ignniiiiss"
Silence…
"Ignniiiiss"
"What is it Noct?" the advisor flew around the corner before soon realising he needn't have bothered.
"Remote" the prince pointed to the object on the floor about 3 feet away.
It took all of Ignis's will power not to roll his eyes before kneeling down to collect the item in his fingers.
"Now Noct, is that all you required me for?"
"Yep" the prince replied simply, his eyes never leaving the remote dangling precariously in the man's fingers.
"I thought it might have been something important but clearly I was wrong" Ignis sighed before raising his hand to pass the remote to the prince.
His grip on the object wasn't quite what he had anticipated as it slipped from his fingers before flying straight towards Noct.
The prince's eyes widened as the remote came flying towards his face.
There simply wasn't time.
Noct winced as he felt the bar of plastic collide with his face.
Ignis's mouth fell open, he swore he did not mean for that to happen.
"Hey! Ignis! What was that for?!" the prince grumbled before collecting the remote of the floor and threatening to throw it at his advisor.
But wait…
If he threw this, then he would have to subsequently get up in order to pick it up…
Hmm…
Scratch that…
Noct lowered the potential weapon before aiming it at the tv and pressing the on button, suddenly bored with Ignis's presence.
Ignis closed his eyes before rubbing his temples.
"Hey Iggy, do you have anything for abdominal cramps?"
Oh no… Not another sign.
Ignis's face turned suddenly pale…
"Why do ask Noct?"
He didn't know why he bothered asking, knowing full well it was for the prince.
"I've got some cramping that keeps coming and going… It's not bad though, it's just annoying" the prince whined before grabbing a bag of potato chips off the floor and opening it.
"Hey I thought you said you were sick".
Prompto began down the street towards the prince's house, his pace increasing slightly as he eyed up the grey clouds growing above him.
Not good…
Hmm…
What to do…
Maybe he should quit going to Noct's before he's too far committed…
But he already was too far committed…
Guess he just answered his own question before feeling small droplets of rain splatter randomly all over his body.
Great.
Prompto's speedy walk turned into a run as he pointlessly tried to avoid getting inundated with water.
The blonde got a few steps before sighing, admitting defeat and returning to a meandering pace.
"Excuse me Noct"
"Yeesss…"
"I believe your about to have a visitor"
Noct turned from his amusing tv show to stare at his advisor.
"What makes you say that?"
"I just witnessed a very drenched Prompto coming down the street"
Noct raised an eyebrow in confusion, as if wondering why Prompto would be visiting him now…
"Huh…" the prince began before returning his attention to the tv.
He was being a terrible friend to Prompto… and he knew it…
He just couldn't shake off this tiredness that kept lingering over him…
Noct's thoughts began to drift, not taking much before they went back down into the gutter.
Prompto visiting…
Prompto soaking wet…
Prompto needing a change of clothes…
Prompto naked
…
…
The sound of the door bell ringing tore the prince from his thoughts as he waited for Ignis to answer the door.
He could just get up himself but…
Hmm…
Well…
"Good evening Prompto"
"Ah, hey there Ignis" the blonde's cheerful voice bounded into the house before he began raising the bag in his hands.
"Noct doesn't happen to be around does he?"
"Why of course" Ignis stood to the side of the door, allowing the blonde to enter.
"Thank you"
Noct heard his best friend long before he saw his best friend. He knew Ignis wasn't going to be happy about the trail of wet foot prints he could hear being trodden into the carpet.
"Heeey buddy, whatcha up to?" Prompto greeted the prince as he sat down on the arm rest of the couch.
Noct watched as droplets ran down the blonde's face before falling against the fabric beneath the boy.
Time to turn his plan into reality…
"Hey do you want a change of clothes?"
"Uh, I guess… Only if it's not too much trouble"
"Of course it's not" Noct smiled, a little more excitedly than what was probably appropriate…
The prince pushed his body up from the couch, which surprisingly isn't as tiring when there's a good reason for doing it…
"Come with me" Noct indicated with his arm as he lead the blonde towards his bedroom.
Ignis rolled his eyes…
He knew full well what Noct was up to as he watched the two boys disappear around the corner.
He shook his head, he still had the rather unpleasant task of having to tell the young prince he was most likely expecting a child…
He was most definitely procrastinating on that one…
Perhaps he could get someone else to tell him…
Gladio perhaps…
No.
This required delicacy… And delicacy was not a trait that man possessed…
Perhaps he should wait until the next time Noct complains of not feeling well and use that as an excuse to take him to the doctor…
Then the doctor could break the news to him…
Yes.
That was his best plan so far.
Besides, it is possible that Noct may not make the connection between the potion and pregnancy…
But then again he will ask how this happened/how is was even possible for a guy to get pregnant…
Not a fool proof plan but it was the best one he had so far...
Ignis shook his head and rolled his eyes as a myriad of giggles greeted his ears from down the hallway.
"So Prompto…" Noct teased, his voice engaging the other playfully as his eyes wondered shamelessly over the blonde's soft, exposed flesh.
Prompto didn't know how to feel about his current predicament… He kinda thought Noct was getting him a change of clothes but he's been naked in front of his best friend for a good ten minutes and he seems no closer to getting less naked now than those ten minutes earlier…
"Uh Noct…"
"Shhh" the prince silenced the blonde before stepping closer to him.
"I kinda thought we could have some fun before I have to take you home" Noct winked at Prompto before drawing the blonde's head closer to his own.
"W-what do you m-mean?" Prompto asked, knowing full well what the prince meant.
"Now now Prompto" Noct smiled playfully before feeling a sudden wave of nausea roll through his stomach.
Oh no.
Not now.
Why now?
Noct plastered his hand to his lips before dashing out of the room towards the bathroom.
Not sexy.
Not sexy at all…
Noct cringed as leant over the bowl, wishing this feeling to go away so he can get back to having fun with his beautiful blonde boy.
"Hey what is it Iggy?" Gladio answered his phone while trying to dodge attacks in his afternoon training session.
"I was wondering if you mightn't be able to help me with something?"
"Go for it"
"Well it's just that…" Ignis began before hearing a barrage of odd noises and a collection of colourful language in the background.
"You sound busy Gladio, don't you worry, I will find another solution" the advisor stated firmly before preparing to press the red call end button.
"Hey hey hey! Wait Iggy, I'm sure I can help, what is it?" the fighter persisted before trying to avoid yet another assault.
"Well you see" Ignis began, still trying to decide if this was good idea… Let's be honest, he could do what he's about to ask Gladio to do himself, but he seriously didn't want to. It's not like him to opt out of anything but in this case…
"Noct needs to see a doctor and I'm awfully busy" Ignis cringed at his own lie, a habit he was not accustomed to, to say the least.
The truth be told he should just do it himself but he didn't want to incur the wrath of the young prince when he found out why he's been feeling so off… Or that Ignis was partially to blame for it… Then again so was Prompto…
"I'm happy to take him. Well, if it's not an emergency that is. I'll come grab him after training"
"Thanks Gladio"
"Don't mention it"
"But I don't want to go to the doctor" Noct made his desires very clear as he sat on the couch with his arms crossed like a spoilt child.
"Ah yes well, it's either you go to the doctor and you can have pizza for dinner tonight or, you don't go to the doctor and I will make you eat lots of vegetables to make you feel better"
"You can't make me"
"Yes I can"
"Fine. I'll just eat potato. Potato is a vegetable" the prince made no attempt to hide the sassiness in his voice as he turned his nose up at his advisor.
"You will be eating broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and beans. LOTS AND LOTS OF BEANS"
Ignis witnessed the flash panic as it darted through Noct's eyes.
Beans.
It worked every time.
The prince's eyes edged carefully back towards Ignis before finally making contact with the man.
"Fine. You win. I will go to the doctor"
"Good. I'm glad to hear it. Gladio will be here shortly to take you"
"Gladio? But I thought you were taking me?"
"Yes well, unfortunately I have other things that need attending to" Ignis made his eyes remain on the prince as he forced the lie from his lips.
Don't look down.
Don't look down.
"Like what?"
Ignis felt his heart pounding in his chest as his mind raced through a million excuses at once, trying to weed out the most convincing one.
"You see, I have an appointment myself" the advisor began, cringing at the lame excuse his brain has selected.
"Really?" the doubt was evident in Noct's voice as his eyes narrowed on Ignis.
"Where?"
Great…
Where was his appointment? Ignis's calm demeanour masked the chaos and impending doom that loomed behind it.
"A-at the doctor also"
"Good. We can go together" a smirk formed on the princes lips.
Dammit.
Noct knew he was lying…
To make it worse, Ignis knew that Noct knew that he was lying too…
"Well you see, it's at a different clinic to yours" Ignis prayed it would work but seriously doubted it.
"Right" Noct nodded his head but the scepticism in his eyes remained.
Ignis was saved by the sound of the front door flying open.
Gladio.
Thank god!
"Right are you ready to go princess?" Gladio chuckled as he watched the flash of rage dance across the volatile eyes before him.
Ignis internally cringed. How did Gladio have the audacity to say such things?
"I'm not a princess!" Noct bit back.
"Hahaha is that so? That's not what it looked like the other day with Prompto" Gladio chuckled before stepping closer to the boy on the couch.
"That wasn't the other day it was the other week" Noct bit back, cringing at his own lame comeback.
"Really? It's still ever so fresh in my mind. You see Noct, the part you were playing in sex is usually played by the girl…" Gladio began, not even trying to keep a straight face.
"I know how sex works!" Noct growled before climbing to his feet.
"Right" Gladio nodded, his eyes showing that he clearly wasn't convinced.
"Let's go"
Noct hated going to the doctor…
The waiting room looked weird, it smelt weird and there were always weird people in it.
He sighed as he let his body fall into a seat that was located as far away from anyone else as possible.
"Why am I here again?" Noct whined as he lightly whacked his head repeatedly against a nearby wall.
"Because you aren't well"
"Right. No it's because Ignis thinks I'm not well" Noct corrected before turning his attention to the fighter next to him.
"Well you did miss classes because of it" Gladio stated as he flipped through a girly magazine.
Noct raised an eyebrow at the sight as his eyes filled with impending delight
"Oh, so who's the girl now?" the prince stated cheekily and perhaps a bit too loudly as a myriad of strange faces stared at him.
"Hey. There's no other magazines to read. Besides, some of these magazines have some rather interesting articles" Gladio defended himself as he flipped another page.
"Right" Noct nodded, not at all convinced.
"Noctis Lucius Caelum"
The princes body flinched at the sound of his full name as his heart began to race.
Great. Now it was his turn.
His eyes moved toward the origin of the voice that called his name.
Noct internally sighed as he expected to see his usual doctor, the old man who also doubled as santa claus because he was so fat. Which the prince didn't think was a good look for a health professional. Or maybe he played santa because he was old. Or maybe because he had a beard. Or maybe because they literally couldn't find anyone else…
His gaze finally met the source of his name.
Noct's heart skipped a beat.
The doctor.
He was different.
This one was beautiful.
Absolutely stunning in fact.
Wow.
Now this doctor aye…
This doctor he wouldn't mind being seen by… completely naked that is…
A naughty smile grew on Noct's lips before having it swiftly wiped off by Gladio's disapproving and surprisingly harsh nudge.
"Hey. Keep it in your pants" Gladio whispered at the prince.
Only, it wasn't a whisper.
Noct could have died from sheer embarrassment as he slid down in his seat, feeling the eyes of everyone in the waiting room on him.
Why?
