So nothing on how Noct thought things would go happened. Well besides Luna being very happy about seeing, holding, and smelling Astrum. She got Ignis to take many photos and promise to send them to her.
Other than that nothing went how he wanted. He didn't see his dad or the council which he's been going to a meeting almost every week for the last three to four months to discuss the person connected to the Crystal which now thinking about it, it's Astrum isn't it? Has to be. And not seeing his father means the man is either still waiting for the results (which highly doubt, the Citadel doctors work fast for the king) or he's busy thinking about the results. Also doesn't help that Luna told them about her marriage to someone named Sol. Noct wouldn't think past his father already trying to set him up but also can't see his father doing that. He is waiting for his father to show up and start shouting about how irresponsible he was. To which he can say it's too late for that, the baby is here and Prompto and said baby are living with him. For all he knows his father might be doing his own background check on Prom, to make sure.
He's glad Prompto is understanding that way. She doesn't seem to mind. Got to be safe, she had said when Ignis let it out he did that to her.
Speaking of the blonde, he thought, he wanted to have a talk with her but she's so busy. After her interview on Monday, she came back late. Her boss wanted her to start immediately, so she was trained. The next day she spent the morning doing classes, some homework and taking care of Astrum. Ignis helped when he felt he should. They didn't stay long as Noct ate his breakfast, got dressed, got taken to the Citadel to do prince work then get driven to school which in between Ignis had gone to his apartment and picked up Astrum from Prom. When he got picked up from school he sat with Astrum in the back as they got taken to the Citadel. But like the previous day, he, Ignis and Astrum get to his apartment before Prom. Ignis once again staying to take care of the baby. He doesn't know how long the man stayed because he went to bed first. Technically Astrum went to bed first but of the two adults Noct went to bed first.
When he woke up again, the same happened. Prom working and taking care of Astrum. Noct leaves with Ignis to the Citadel. It's slightly different as Gladio goes to pick Astrum from Prom so she can go to work because the Citadel is being overrun by the media who are trying to get a glimpse of Luna. Even at his school there were people keeping an eye out on him. Gladio had to come and get him, without Astrum, they couldn't risk Astrum being seen by anyone. So far he's unknown and Ignis wants to keep it that way, at least until the king decides to announce it publicly. Until then it's to remain a secret.
The whole week is like that and every time he saw Luna he asked for advice and she kept telling him she's not the oracle of love and relationships. She did finally give up and tell him that if he truly loves and wants Prom he should work for it and try. Then she adds communication is key.
That's great advice but doesn't really help.
But it looks like if he wants this to work out he should do something but how can he when they don't see each other that often, and when he does see her she is busy.
Noct closes the door to the car. He looks to the side to see Astrum in his car seat happily but sleepily sucking on his pacifier. Ignis sits in the driver's seat. He doesn't start the car yet, instead he looks down at his phone. Noctis looks back at Astrum who lay in his car seat, head turned to look out the car window. Then Ignis puts his phone on the phone carrier he has on the dashboard. In silence Ignis drove, but Noct caught on quickly that his advisor isn't driving back to his apartment.
Ignis drove for a while before parking, he stayed in the car, grabbing his phone. Noct look at Astrum who seemed as confused as he is. Where are they? They are in the shopping district, more specifically the food area. In front of a small cafe half bar. It seem to be popular with how many people are going in. Noct started to feel impatient, he scoot forward, moving to look out the front window. He opens his mouth to ask what or who are they waiting for but doesn't get a noise out when his eyes land on Prompto coming out of the bar, waving goodbye to everyone as she gets her jacket on covering her white dress shirt. He looks down, checking her out. Her white shirt didn't look like it fit, the buttons weren't button all the way so her breasts showed. Pairing with her white shirt is a black skirt that seemed to short, in his opinion but she wore thin black stockings underneath. Her pale skin showing off her legs through the stockings. On her feet she wore her converse, he knew those are one of her only pair of shoes she owns. The outfit she wore must be her new uniform, it's very different from her bright pink waitress outfit, but both left nothing to the imagination. He can see every curve of hers. Now hidden by her jacket.
Prompto gets into the back, on the opposite side of him. Astrum in the middle. She closes the door, sitting there quietly then she deflates. Letting out a loud sigh. Then she falls over to lay against the car seat.
"Are you okay?" Noct asks as Ignis puts his phone away and starts the car.
"Just glad it's the weekend tomorrow. I just want to go home and take a bath."
"That bad of a week?" The prince wonders. Maybe there is something he can help with.
"It's just shark week." she says sitting properly as Ignis moves to back the car out.
"Shark... week?" Noct asks looking over to Ignis who seem to be as clueless as he. Prompto just scoffs and rolls eyes.
"Really? Never heard the term?" She asks looking at both Ignis and Noct. "I'm on my period." she blurts out, just wanting her bath and sweats now that she didn't care that she blurted it out to Ignis too. Not really feeling embarrassed. Her breast are feeling sore and her vagina hurts, she wanted to be home hours ago.
"Oh." Is all Noct says, sinking into his seat, not really sure how he can help with that.
Ignis clears his throat, "would you like me to stop somewhere for you?" Ignis asks eloquent as ever, even in this embarrassing situation. Prompt perks at that.
"Stop at a corner store. I want something sweet." she says, then adds "please." when she realizes how demanding she sounded. Ignis smiles.
"Of course." Prompto smiles as she sits back. She looks over at Astrum, who happily suck on his pacifier as he stare at her then look over to Noctis.
Noctis decided not to bother her. Let her do what she wanted. When they got home Ignis let Prompto take her bath while he cook dinner. He took care of Astrum while the advisor cooked. Prompto came out steaming from the hot water. She looked better with her oversized anime shirt and black sweats. As Ignis finished the meal Prom went to the bag of things she bought from the corner store and took out a reusable heating pack. She warmed it up in the microwave then went to join Noct and Astrum on the couch. She lay on her back as she rest the warm pack on her lower stomach.
Then Noct suggested they watch some tv.
So they ended up staying on the couch eating dinner as they watch random movies. Prompto mood seemed to lift, especially after eating her two cakes. One tres leche and the other a small chocolate cake.
