Warning: Noctis/Prompto.

Chapter Three

Once he had arrived at his locker, Prompto sighed and started taking thick textbooks off of the tiny bookshelves inside of it. After gathering the textbooks into his arms, he had slammed shut the metal locker and blew beautiful blonde locks out of his eyes. His hair had fell back into place a few seconds later, though.

As his hips got grasped, Prompto had been spun around and trapped against the lockers. His bright blue eyes squeezed shut out of fear. His body started shaking and the textbooks he held cascaded to the floor.

However, Prompto wasn't cornered against the lockers by bullies. It couldn't be possible, not when his freckled cheeks were being gently stroked. He opened his eyes, then. They met Noctis' bright blue ones and his cheeks quickly flushed.

His prince seemed to have noticed. "You have a knack for dropping your textbooks," Noctis said, while Prompto gasped and kneeled down, as his handsome prince followed in suite and helped him collect the textbooks into a neat pile again. "So, are you free after school? You promised to help me study."

"Sure, I'm free. Where do you want to study, though?" Prompto asked, while hugging his textbooks, as Noctis smiled and started brushing blonde locks out of Prompto's sapphire colored eyes. "Is the library okay with you?"

"Of course," Noctis replied, while withdrawing his hand from Prompto's blushing cheeks, as a playful smirk curled into his lips. "You know that place a lot better than me, anyway."

"Yeah, I guess I do," Prompto said, while biting down on to his lower lip, as his cheeks burned bright red from Noctis' gentle and sweet touch. "I spend most of my time there studying."

"Well, I need help studying for math. I have a test next week. You better help me pass it," Noctis said, while watching Prompto's face flush as a chuckle slipped from in-between his pale lips. "You're like the smartest student here."

"That can't be true … " Prompto stuttered, while averting eye contact, as Noctis just raised his eyebrow up in disagreement. "There are other students a lot smarter than me."

"You're just being modest," Noctis said, while entangling his fingers around Prompto's soft slender ones, as the blonde's heart fluttered and face flushed again. "Come on, Prompto! Everyone knows you get straight A's."

"Yeah, I do. But, I have to study a lot to get them," Prompto said, while being led out into the crowded hallways, as Noctis squeezed his hand in a comforting manner. "Where are we going?"

"Relax, I'm just walking you to class," Noctis replied, while looking behind him at Prompto, as he mischievously grinned and tugged the blonde close. "You know, I don't want you to trip again."

"Yeah … " Prompto mumbled, while recalling his first meeting with Noctis, as he mentally thanked his clumsiness for offering him a chance to be friends with his crush. "That was sort of embarrassing."

"Well, I found it cute," Noctis said, while laughing at the blushing omega, as he pulled Prompto towards the science classrooms. "You're freaking adorable."

"You keep saying that … "

"What do I keep saying?"

"C-cute?'

"I'm just stating a fact. Anyway, I believe this is your class. Am I right?"

"Yeah … Thanks for walking me."

"No problem. See you after school, Prompto."

XOXO

Once he had sat down, Prompto turned to face Cindy. He smiled and showed her his homework. He wanted to know if he had done the problems right. His answers mostly matched with hers, but not much. It made Cindy concerned about her homework. She started erasing some of her work and redoing the problems, then.

"You know, I might be wrong," Prompto said, watching Cindy's golden eyebrows furrow in concentration. "I didn't understand some of the problems."

"I'll trust your answers, anyway," Cindy said, grabbing his homework, just to copy his work. "How's your portfolio for photography going, though?"

"It's going great," Prompto smiled, his freckled cheeks blushing, just because Noctis is his model. "I found a human subject, like I needed for my portfolio."

"That's good," Cindy said, flashing him a genuine smile. "So, who is it?"

"That I can't tell you yet," Prompto said, giggling as Cindy pouted at him. "It's a surprise!"

"Fine!" Cindy groaned, rolling her green eyes. "The professor is here. Ugh, I hate this class. He makes us take too much notes."

"You're right about that," Prompto agreed, taking out his notebook and pencil. "Well, I guess it's time for complete boredom now."

"You're funny," Cindy giggled, poking him with her pencil. "I'm so glad we sit next to each other. Otherwise, I would fall asleep all the time in here."

"Yeah, I'm glad, too!"

"Let's get to work now."

XOXO

When his chemistry class ended, Prompto cheerfully ran out into the hallway. He was excited about attending his photography class. He had been working on sketching some poses for Noctis. He had worked on one last night. It was of Noctis sitting underneath a tree, with his beautiful dark locks blowing in the wind.

Once he had arrived at his photography class, Prompto sat down and quickly took out his sketchbook. He flipped to a blank page and started sketching again. This time in his sketch Noctis was leaning against the lockers, with his lips curled into a smile. It made him blush, especially since he had captured Noctis' looks quite well. It's because he's always staring at Noctis, not on purpose, though. His prince is just so captivating and handsome.

"What are you drawing?" his professor asked, walking through the aisle of desks and stopping at his. "It must be very important."

"It is important," Prompto agreed, quickly closing his sketchbook, not wanting his professor to know Noctis is modeling for him. "I'm sketching poses for my model."

"May I see your sketches, then?" his professor asked, trying to offer Prompto a convincing smile. "Come on, Argentum! Is your model that special?"

"Of course, sir! He's very special," Prompto blurted out, his blue orbs widening soon afterwards from his sudden outburst. "Anyway, I can't show you. Because, I would be giving away my model's identity."

"Your model is a male," his professor said. "I thought you would be photographing Cindy. Isn't she your friend?"

"We are friends," Prompto admitted. "But, Cindy is busy a lot. She helps her grandpa on the weekends to repair cars. She's a mechanic."

"Is that so? Well, I still look forward to grading your portfolio. You're one of my best students."

"Thank you, sir!"

XOXO

After school ended, Prompto walked towards the library. He was quite nervous about helping Noctis study. It's not every day a prince asks for his help, after all. It made him start over thinking about his study strategies. What if they didn't help Noctis, like they helped him ace tests? What if Noctis didn't like them, especially since his study strategies were a bit old school?

Once he had arrived at the library, Prompto found Noctis leaning against the wall. His prince smiled at him. It made his heart flutter.

He started wondering, then. Is it possible for a simple crush to get out of hand? If so, then his crush for Noctis is seriously getting out of hand.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Prompto asked, smiling and staring up at Noctis. "I hope not."

"No," Noctis replied, pushing himself off of the wall. "Well, I'm here. Are you going to give me a tour of your favorite place?"

"You always tease me," Prompto said, puffing out his cheeks.

"I can't help it," Noctis said, chuckling down at Prompto. "You're such a nerd. I've never seen anyone carry around so much books before, and just for class, too."

"I just like being prepared," Prompto claimed, his lips puckering out in a pout.

"Prepare me for my math test, then."

"Of course, I will! Come on, I reserved a study room, which we can use."

XOXO

When he had sat down, Prompto flipped through Noctis' math textbook. He started relaxing, then. His anxiety about helping Noctis' study steadily going away. It's because he had already taken the math class Noctis is currently in.

In an instant, Prompto smiled and turned to look at Noctis. His alpha prince was seemed off, however. It made him sort of feel self-conscious. It made him wonder if he's boring Noctis somewhat.

"Are you okay?" Prompto asked, awakening Noctis from his thoughts. "You look tired."

"I'm fine," Noctis replied, reassuringly smiling at him.

"That's good," Prompto said, looking down at Noctis' math textbook again. "What sections are you working on?"

"Chapter fifteen through twenty," Noctis said, leaning back in his chair. "But, let's just do chapter fifteen today. I don't want to stress you out. You already study too much, anyway."

"Thanks," Prompto giggled, flipping to chapter fifteen. "I've taken your math class before. So, I think I'm qualified to help you study."

"Why are you sitting so far, then?" Noctis asked, grabbing Prompto's chair from underneath and pulling the blonde closer to him. "This is much better. Don't you think?"

"I mean, I guess so … " Prompto blushed, his shoulder brushing against Noctis'. "Anyway, I think we should start here. Do you see this example? I'll explain it to you."

"Yeah, I see it."

"It looks all difficult and tricky. Doesn't it?"

"Yup."

"It's really not, though. You just have to start solving it from the left. I'll show you."

XOXO

After three hours, Prompto started yawning. He was still cheerful, though. He had help Noctis completely understand chapter fifteen, even going as far as to create problems for Noctis to solve. He enjoyed spending time with Noctis, too. His alpha prince wasn't trying to take advantage of him, like he did with those nobles. It seemed like Noctis was just trying to be friends with him, or just trying to make him his tutor. Noctis does call him a nerd most of the time, after all.

"You look exhausted," Noctis said, packing his things away. "I kept you in here for so long. I'm sorry."

"It's totally fine," Prompto reassured, rubbing his blue eyes awake. "I promised to help, anyway."

"Thank you," Noctis said, pulling Prompto into a hug. "I mean it."

"It's no problem," Prompto blushed, his heart fluttering and face flushing red. "You promised to model for me, anyway."

"Yeah, I did," Noctis admitted, enjoying Prompto's sweet scent. "So, are your parents picking you up?"

"My dad is. He's waiting for me in the parking lot."

"Come on, I'll walk you."

"Thanks! It's kind of scary at night."

"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe."

XOXO

After showing Prompto to his father's vehicle, Noctis said his final goodbye to the blonde and walked off. He wasn't in a good mood, especially after studying for three hours. He groaned and loosened his tie, then. His other hand flinging the Regalia's back door wide open.

However, Noctis had been greeted with a pleasant sight. His little plaything for this week was sitting in the backseat, which made him grin. He needed to loosen up, after all. That's why he had messaged his little plaything, expect he had told the noble to meet him at his penthouse, not in his car. Yet he didn't mind.

"Hello, Your Highness, I thought I'd surprise you," his noble said, crawling on to his lap. "I knew you'd be stressed out. So, I wanted to help you relax. I hope you don't mind. Well, do you?"

"No, I don't mind at all," Noctis replied, seeing Ignis roll his emerald green eyes from the rearview mirror, which made him playfully smirk. "Why don't you start helping me relax now?"

"Of course," his noble said, blushing before starting to unbutton his school shirt. "I'll do whatever you want."

"Good," Noctis said, raising the Regalia's partition privacy window up. "Get down on your knees, then."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You know what to do from there."

XOXO

When he had finished getting ready for bed, Prompto hugged his sketchbook and sighed. He couldn't wait to photograph Noctis. He was most definitely going to keep some pictures for himself, which would be placed into his diary.

"Oh, I love him so much," Prompto giggled.

He looked down at his sketch of Noctis sitting underneath a tree, then. His heart start aching, just looking at Noctis made him remember.

"I can never be with him," Prompto sniffled. "Because, I'm just a commoner."

A few tears started sliding down his cheeks. And yet, Prompto still tried to smile.

"But, I should be happy. At least, I'm friends with him. You can't have everything in the world, after all."

A/N: What do you think? Leave me your thoughts.
