Stella was packing her bag when there was a knock at her door,she quickly hid the bag under her blanket,she sat calmly on her bed"Come in."
the door opened and Cloud walked in,Stella's eyes widened and stood up"oh hello Cloud."she smiled
He walked to her,he wasn't smiling back,Stella frowned"is something wrong?"she asked
Cloud cleared his throat then looked at her"Stella you cannot run from your troubles,especially not today."
she looked to the ground"h-how did you know I was-
"Tifa told me it's what you do sometimes."he explained
Stella rolled her eyes*thanks a lot sis*
Cloud put a hand on her shoulder"I know it's tough being the youngest and I also know it's hard being forced to marry someone,but you can do it,your strong."
she blushed slightly"thank you,Cloud,that was very sweet of you to say."
he smiled"it's the truth,now The King and Queen told me to tell you to get ready,your soon to be husband is here."
Stella's eyes widened*oh god,I think I'm going to be sick*
as if Cloud read her mind he chuckled and ruffled her hair"calm down,it will be alright."
she took a deep breath and smiled at Cloud"alright,will you please tell them I'll be there soon?"
Cloud bowed"of course my lady." he smiled and closed the door behind him.
Stella groaned and glanced at her bag"well I guess running away is out of the question." she checked herself in the mirror and sighed
"here we go."she took a deep breath and started down the royal staircase.
"Ladies and Gentlemen,please welcome Princess Stella Nox Fleuret"a voice announced through the entire hall,Stella smiled as she walked down the royal carpet
everyone clapped and bowed respectively towards the young princess as she soon stood in front of her parents.
The king stood and smiled at everyone"Good evening ladies and gentlemen,I would like to thank you all for coming to my daughters party."
"as you all know,today is Stella's 17th birthday,which means she will now be given a husband."
everyone clapped and cheered as Stella smiled and waved.
"now if you all please,I wish to welcome our guest of honor,please welcome Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum!"
Stella's jaw dropped and eyes widened*what? as in my best friend Noctis!*
The doors opened and in walked a man,he wore a black tux with a cape,which blew behind him as he walked down the carpet.
*he still looks the same but slighty better*Stella thought as Noctis bowed to her parents
"Good Evening your Majesty."he greeted
The King nodded"thank you for coming back Noctis."
Noctis nodded and now looked at Stella,she smiled as he approached her,he bowed and kissed her hand"it's good to see you again,Princess."
she blushed slightly and bowed to him"it's good to see you as well Noctis."
The Queen smiled"okay you two,time for your dance."
Everyone cleared the floor as The Prince and Princess made their way to the middle of the dance floor.
Noctis wrapped a arm around her waist and took her hand,Stella wrapped her fingers in his as they both swayed to the music
Stella looked up at him"so how have you been Noctis?it's been years."
he twirled her around and dipped her,he looked into her eyes as he did"I've been alright,how about you Princess?"
she frowned slightly"why do you keep calling me that?I thought I've always told you to call me by my name?
Noctis sighed"well things change."
That caught her attention"things change? what do you mean?
he dipped her again"let's not talk about this now,we have to please the crowd."
Stella narrowed her eyes"well I think we have a lot to talk about,like that kiss you gave me that night before you and your family left."
her breath caught in her throat as he leaned in close to her"that kiss was a goodbye and because I loved you."he whispered
Stella gasped and looked at her parents,who were smiling at the couple
"y-you loved me?"she whispered
Noctis nodded"yes."
she blushed slightly"do...do you still feel that way?"
he put his forehead against hers"if I didn't,I wouldn't have come back."
Stella blushed and sighed"does that mean-
Noctis captured her lips with his
The crowd cheered and awed
Stella closed her eyes as she responded to the kiss,her cheeks flaming red
The couple parted slightly to breathe,Noctis twirled her around again,she smiled slightly.
Later that night,Stella and Noctis were taking a stroll in the royal garden,Stella couldn't help but think about how he has changed and she wasn't sure if it was for the better.
he took her hand in his,she was surprised by this gesture and blushed"Noctis...if you loved me back when we were kids...why didn't you say anything to me?"
Noctis stopped in front of the big water fountain,seemed lost in thought"because...I wasn't sure if it was real or just a crush."
Stella smiled softly and walked closer to him"and now you know?"
He turned to her and cupped her chin"yes."he whispered
she blushed at his touch and looked at the ground,he smirked"I guess you feel the same."
Stella sighed and met his eyes"I'm not really sure."
Noctis nodded"well I even if you don't,I can help with that."
he cupped her chin again and pulled her face to his and captured her lips once more
she closed her eyes as he deepened the kiss,wrapping his arms around her waist,she wrapped her arms around his neck
his tongue licked her lips,begging for entry,she parted her lips as he sneaked his tongue in there.
They stayed like this for a few minutes before pulling away,Noctis smirked at her"for someone who's not sure of her feelings, you sure do let a guy do anything."
Stella blushed and pushed him slightly"shut up!"
he chuckled slightly and gazed at the fountain"I missed you Stells."
she smiled at the childish nickname"I missed you too,Nox."she giggled
Noctis laughed and looked in his pocket"better do this now,perfect time."
Stella glanced at him curiously as he took out a velvet square box and kneeled on one knee"Stella Nox Fleuret,will you marry me?"
she smiled and blushed*not like I have a choice Noctis*"yes I will Noctis."
he smiled at her as he slipped the ring on her finger,she did the same to him,Noctis wrapped his fingers in hers
"till Death Do Us part."he whispered gazing into her eyes
Stella smiled"till Death Do Us part."she whispered back
