Warning: Noctis/Prompto.

Chapter Two

As his eyes open, Prompto gasps and gags, especially because he's thirsty. However, Prompto still sits up, except he's shivering. But, Prompto spots something, even if he can't see.

For this reason, Prompto gets up, especially because he has something to eat now. However, Prompto aches everywhere, except mostly his back. But, Prompto can't complain about the treatment, even if he's a prisoner.

After all, Prompto isn't just the typical criminal, especially because he's a war prisoner. However, Prompto isn't guilty of war crimes, except not of any crime. But, Prompto can't vouch for his innocence, even if he had lawyers.

"I've been already villainized," Prompto squeaks, as his chin tremble. "I wonder when they'll execute me."

"What's the rush?" Noctis snickers, as his footsteps echo. "You're not going anywhere."

"Did you come to gloat?" Prompto sniffles, as his heartbeat harshly race. "Did you, Your Highness?"

"You're an example of failure," Noctis snarls, as his eyes narrows. "Lucis will always prevail. We don't resort to tricks. That's child's play."

"I haven't tricked you," Prompto sobs, as his cell's bars rattle violently.

"Liar!" Noctis snaps, as his hands shakes the metal railing.

XOXO

Whenever the council argues, Regis gets upsets, especially because he has migraines. However, Regis silences them, except not for long. So, Regis usually ends their meeting, even if he knows that can't solve much.

However, Regis won't today, especially because he has marvelous news. After all, Regis caught the spy, except with the aid of his son. For this reason, Regis wants to celebrate, even if he's at war.

So, Regis stands tall, especially because he's the king. But, Regis struggles somewhat, except he has his cane. Therefore, Regis doesn't falter, even if he has a limp.

"Worry not, my fellow Lucians! The spy is gone," Regis smiles, as Noctis shifts uncomfortably beside him. "For deceiving us, I have him rotting away in the dungeons. For you, my fellow Lucians, I have scheduled multiple feasts."

"It'll take time, but we'll heal," Regis sighs, as the Lucian nobles clap. "We'll prevail together."

"They won't divide us," Regis states, as the throne room roars. "We are one."

XOXO

Upon leaving the hall, Gladio walks towards his room, especially because he's worn out. However, Gladio knows he'll toss and turn throughout the entire night, except that's inevitable. So, Gladio had stayed until the feast was over, even if he hates parties.

But, Gladio enjoys company from time to time, especially because he feels lonely. Also, Gladio likes good food, except he feels nauseous now. However, Gladio doesn't regret eating lots of food, even if he feels awful right now.

Yet, Gladio bumps into someone, especially because he wasn't paying attention. However, Gladio apologizes for his carelessness, except they just grab his arm. Nevertheless, Gladio doesn't mind, even if he's being scowlded.

"How's Prompto?" Ignis sighs, as he nervously looks around. "Is he okay?"

"No," Gladio snorts, as his eyebrows knit together. "He's far from okay. He doesn't eat. He sleeps all day. He cries all night. The kid is a mess."

"What about his parents?" Ignis suggests, as hope bubbles inside. "Did they contact him?"

"Nope," Gladio scoffs, as his fists clench. "No one has heard from them."

"This can't be possible," Ignis sobs, as his eyes water. "He's all alone."

"Don't doubt him, Iggy. Prompto is strong," Gladio smiles, as he laughs. "He'll get through this."

XOXO

In the throne room, Nyx listens quietly, especially because he hasn't questions. For this reason, Nyx stays silent, except doesn't respect what he hears. Even so, Nyx keeps hush, even if he wishes to tell their general off.

However, Nyx can't talk against him, especially because the king trusts him. But, Nyx doesn't trust him, except it's in vain. So, Nyx holds his tongue, even if he has lots to say.

But, Nyx gives him credit, especially because he has useful strategies. However, Nyx has better strategies, except won't share for now. Because, Nyx is suspicious, even if he's the only one.

"We've caught the spy," the general smirks, as Nyx's fists clench. "We'll win, then. Our strategies aren't being leaked anymore."

"You're right," Regis smiles, as Cor shakes his head. "The spy is gone. We're in the midst of celebrations, too."

"Exactly!" the general snickers, as Regis raises his wine glass. "Let's toast to celebration, then."

"Ah," Regis sighs, as Cor frowns. "Celebration - my favorite word."
