"Yeah! Finally!" Prompto shouts at the sea, standing at the bow of the ferry. She got strange looks at her but she didn't care, they are finally on the ferry. She moves forward to look down at the ocean. This is her first time on a boat. She is so excited she couldn't stop bouncing.
Behind her Noct stares smiling at her childish antics. He's glad nothing has happened. Those MTs attacking came out from nowhere. It has been rather calm and feels like a true vacation now.
Prompto slumps in a chair letting out a breath, she excited herself to much. Noct sat next to her his phone out.
"Having fun?" Gladio asks smiling at the blonde. Feeling like it's been forever since he's seen her act like a child. Funny since she has a child herself. They knew she had to grow up fast so sometimes she lets out her childish side. And they will never tell her to stop. Let her have fun.
"Yeah. It's nice. The breeze, the smell, the feel. It's great." she smiles at Gladio.
"Then we shall let you two have fun." Ignis says pulling onto the behemoth's biceps that are bigger than Astrums head. They are leaving again. Prompto looks to see Noct looking at her equally as confused. Now it's very obvious they are running away. Why? Prom sits up in her seat. Her eyes narrow at their backs.
"Stop right there." she calls to them. Voice very commanding. The princes eyes widening ever so slightly, whatever he was doing on his phone forgotten. The two lovers freezing in their tracks. Slowly they turn to see the blonde crossing her arms and frowning at them. Her eyes look to the empty spot in front of both her and Noctis then back up at them, silently telling them to stand there. She does that multiple times before following her command. Once there the two stand like scolded children. Don't know what they did wrong yet. "Now tell me, what's up with you both?" she asks wanting an answer. "It's like you don't want to hang around us. I understand wanting privacy. But now it seems like you don't want to be near us at all? Why?" she frowns. Ignis and Gladio look at each other. Do they tell them the truth? Confess their plan? Or do they lie? That seems like a very bad decision. Ignis rubs his stomach. The bruise is still there though not as big and he gets phantom pain sometimes. Prompto can kick hard.
Gladio shrugs his shoulders at Ignis. The advisor lets out a breath. He's just going to go for it. "We thought it would help, you two, to give you both some privacy together." Ignis explains which didn't help as both prince and blonde look like the explanation went straight over their head.
"We are trying to help Noctis move forward with his feelings towards you. Playing Cupid I guess." Gladio explained in layman's terms. Both the raven haired man and blonde blush like a tomato. Finally with this they both can talk about their feelings, it can finally be let out in the open.
Prompto turns to Noct who does a double take to the blonde who is slowly get mad. "What?" she growls out, eyes turning magenta. Noct backs up, swallowing the lump in his throat. "Fuck you Noct! This was supposed to be a vacation with friends! You made it pretty fucking clear last time that it wasn't going to happen! You broke my heart once when you rejected me I don't want a reminder!" she shouts at him, standing up, surprising both the shield and advisor.
"Prompto I didn't kno-" the prince starts, the blonde interrupting him to turn her glare, her anger, towards the other two.
"You both should be ashamed! This is my first trip out of Insomnia and you all had an ultimatum! I wanted to have fun! This whole trip has been a shit show!" Prom shouts at them as she steps forward. "Hope you all had fun." she growls at them then walks away. Noct tries to reach to her, hand grabbing her wrist but he pulls his hand back when she shocks him with a very strong current of electricity. He knows she didn't do it on purpose but still: ow!
It's quiet as they watch her leave, stomping away from them. Ignis turns to the prince first. "Noct... what is she talking about?" he asks.
Noct doesn't hear the adviser instead he brings a hand up to his face, racking it through his hair as he lets out a groan. "Thanks you guys, for that." Noct frowns at them. Gladio frowns back.
"Noct... what was she talking about?" Ignis asks again but more firmly this time. Noct looks at them questioningly.
"Wait, I thought she told you everything? You both said she told you everything." he asks back. Gladio rolls his eyes.
"Like she would come clean about everything." he points out. Yeah he's right.
Noct lets out a sigh. He leans forward on his knees, both hands covering his face. "It was after we had sex, which happened in the moment. She confessed her feelings, I confessed mine but told her it couldn't happen. Not with my engagement to Luna. She said she understood. We spent the next minute in silence before Ignis texted he's on the way." Noct explains looking down at his shoes. He looks up through his fingers to see Ignis sit in the seat looking defeated.
"Noct..." Ignis calls his name, sounding so disappointed in him.
"Oh man... blondie is not going to let this go easily. How on Eos are you going to try to get with her, you rejected her after sex, rejected her after sex to be with another woman. No wonder she didn't want to see Luna." Gladio slaps his forehead.
"I know that's why I wanted help but not this sort of help." Noct looks at them. He was working on it. Trying to get on her good graces. Start over again before confessing his feelings for her. He knew it wouldn't be easy but he was prepared to work hard for it, for her. He wasn't going to let her go a second time.
"Now we must think of a way to apologize to our friend." Ignis points out.
"You two more than me." Noct adds causing the two to look at the prince, frowns on their face.
"If you told us we wouldn't have done this." Gladio says changing blame. Noct looks at him shocked.
"Me? I thought you both knew already." he says back.
"It doesn't matter much. We all must think of our apologies." Ignis steps in before they start arguing more. That causes them to shut up. Neither have seen the blonde so angry before. She's usually the calm one, next to Ignis.
How are they going to apologize her?
