"What's with this picture huh?" Lightning said in a clamorous angry tone.

In Noctis vision, It shows a blurry picture and the 2 persons in the picture can't be seen. Noctis said. "Wha- I didn't do that. You know I would never do that to you. You're the only woman I love."

"Then what's with this?"

"I was just lending her a hand."

Lightning demanded more. "THEN WHAT'S WITH THIS PICTURE?"

It shows two people holding hands. The picture shows it is still blurry but Noctis can Identify himself in the picture.

"I SWEAR. I WAS LENDING HER A HAND. SHE ALMOST SLIPPED !"

Lightning turned around, uttering in a unpleasant tone. "I don't have to listen to your lies."

"Wha- What do you mean?"

"Caius told me about it. It's genuine and proven. Jihl proved everything was true."

"What?! I swear I would never cheat you for another."

Caius comes up to Lightning's side. "Does it matter? It's true and the whole school heard it."

Noctis starred at Caius angrily. "You? Light, You believe about what this bastard said?"

"Everything's true. What are you gonna do about it?"

Noctis looked like desperate to answer. Lightning grinned. "Hmph… No answer?"

At this, Noctis stared at Lightning angrily. Lightning turned her head around and produced an unpleasant voice. "You know what, We're finished."

Lightning took off the necklace that Noctis had given her for her 19th Birthday and threw it hard on the ground, Ripping the cover off and breaking the glass.

"Let's go Caius."

Noctis picked up the broken necklace and looked on as Lightning left with Caius and Jihl.

"NOOOO!"

Noctis looked at his surroundings to find himself on his bedroom. "It's all a dream?"

He placed his palm on his chest and breathed easily. He rose up from the bed and hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a bath and prepare for his classes.

Later in the university…

"Light…."

Lightning turned around. "Yeah? Oh hey!"

Later, Noctis told everything about his dream to his lover. Lightning felt heartbroken and didn't expect something like that would appear in his dream. Lightning comforted her lover.

"Noctis, It will never happen."

Noctis looked at his lover and embraced her. "Thank you. You know how much I love you."

"Noct, No matter what happens, I will always love you."

Noctis felt comfort. "Thank you Light."

The two lovers lean in and shared a passionate kiss, promising that something that Noctis dream't of will never happen as long as they are in love and together.

A few days later.

Lightning and Yuffie were in the library. When the afternoon free time came, Lightning decided finish her reading and proceeded to meet up with Noctis near the auditorium entrance.

"You're leaving so soon?" Yuffie asked the pink brunette.

"You know that I still need to find Noctis."

Yuffie teased her friend. "WOOOO…. Light and Noctis sitting in a tree K-I-S-S—" But she was cut short by Lightning's voice.

"Stop it will you. I'm off. Bye" She said, waving goodbye.

"Bye."

Lightning left the library and made her way to the auditorium where her handsome lover was waiting for her. By now, It was already 2:30 in the afternoon and there wasn't much students in the corridor. Most were in the cafeteria or somewhere near the area of the student's lounge where most students stay for the rest of the afternoon.

Before continuing her journey to her lover, She stopped for a bathroom break. After she had her break, She encountered a blonde-wearing glasses.

"Hey Light…"

"What do you want Jihl?"

"Nothing."

"Well if this is about Caius running after me, It's useless."

"Ok. But I want to show you a picture that may shock you."

At Jihl's purse, She took out 5 photos and laid it on the cemented surface near the sink. Lightning picked up the photos and looked at the one by one.

"WHAT?!"

Lightning was shocked. The pictures showed Noctis hanging out with Stella which happened on the Monday before when She and Prompto were away. She couldn't believe that Noctis would hold Stella's hand. To her, It looked like that Noctis and Stella were sharing an intimate moment. Little did she know that she was falling for a lie and a set-up by Caius.

"When did this happen?"

"About a Monday ago."

The two walked out of the bathroom where they came across Caius. He was mostly spending his time roaming around.

"Hey Jihl, Lightning." He greeted.

"Hey C, Explain to her about these pictures."

"Let me see."

Jihl handed Caius the pictures and inspected it. "It's true. I even saw them holding hands before you came back. I just found out that He is dating someone else."

"WHA-?" Lightning was speechless.

"In other words, Noctis is cheating on you."

Lightning's heartbeat fast. Her feet trembled as she stayed still. "I-I-I can't believe h-he w-would do that."

"Go face him now. Demand him to tell you about the picture."

Lightning hesitated but quickly picked an answer. "Yeah…. Maybe you're right. Thanks Caius." She said in a calm voice.

"No problem." He replied.

Lightning left 5th floor and ran for the auditorium on the 2nd floor. Caius and Jihl looked on as they see that their plan is succeeding.

"Phase one is complete…. Now, Let's wait for Lightning to break up with him then I'll get Lightning for myself and Noctis' popularity."

"You're beginning to be the man now, C" Jihl uttered.

Caius produced a quiet evil laugh as he looked on.

In the 2nd floor corridor in front of the auditorium, Noctis was waiting with his other hand shoved in his right pocket. He was whistling as he waited for her lover. Later, He looked to his side and saw his lover running towards him. He ceased to rest on the wall and faced her lover, expecting a sweet smile. But all that greeted him was a slap to the face.

"WHAT?! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Noctis asked, bellowing.

"Don't lie to me."

"About what?"

"What's with this picture huh?" Lightning said in an angry tone.

The picture showed Noctis holding Stella's hand. Noctis only held Stella's hand because she almost slipped because she always wore boots, causing her to sometimes slip and fall to the floor.

"I was just lending her a hand."

Lightning wanted to know more so she demanded. "THEN WHAT'S WITH THIS PICTURE?"

"I SWEAR I WAS LENDING HER A HAND. STELLA ALMOST SLIPPED!" Noctis bellowed.

Lightning turned around, uttering in a unpleasant tone. "I don't have to listen to your lies."

"Wha- What do you mean?"

"Caius told me about it. It's genuine and proven. Jihl proved everything was true."

"What?!"

"Well, Well, Well. If it isn't a lover's quarrel." Jihl uttered, coming from the back of Lightning.

She turned to Lightning. "Light, It's true. Everything is 100% true. Caelum is cheating on you."

"What? I swear that I would never do that in my whole life."

Caius comes up to Lightning's side. "Does it matter now that it's true and the whole campus heard it."

Noctis starred at Caius angrily. "You? Light, You believe about what this bastard said?"

"Everything's true. What are you gonna do about it?" Caius said in an evil tone.

Noctis looked like desperate to answer. Lightning grinned. "Hmph… No answer?"

"You insolent son of a bitch." He uttered, delivering a message to Caius.

At this, Noctis stared at Lightning and Caius angrily. Lightning turned her head around and produced an unpleasant voice. "You know what, We're finished, Caelum."

Lightning took off the necklace that Noctis had given her for her 19th Birthday and threw it hard on the ground, separating the cover and breaking the glass.

Suddenly, Noctis felt someone hit the back of his head. It knocked him out cold. His face fell onto the cold, hard floor. His body covered the remains of the broken necklace.

"Nice shot Seymour."

"Hmph." Seymour uttered, looking at the knocked-out Noctis.

Caius and his lackeys along with Lightning left Noctis and made their way to the exit, Leaving the dark-haired man out cold.

Later, Noctis was woken up. She felt a hand on his shoulder and opened his eyes. He turned around to see Serah, Prompto and Stella.

"Noct, Are you alright?"

"What happened?" Prompto asked, Turning Noctis body facing him, revealing the broken necklace.

Stella looked at the broken necklace. "Hey, Isn't this Lightning's?"

"What happened?" Serah asked, sounded worried.

Noctis told everything and couldn't almost remember anything after the blow to the back of his head. His friends were shocked about what had happen. It hits the younger Farron hard as She knew that Lightning would never do such a thing. Noctis also told them that he tried to explain but Lightning fell to the lies of Caius and his lackeys.

"That's weird. I'll investigate about this thing later. I'll ask Lightning for you if you want."

"Go ahead and try. She won't entertain you."

"I'll give it a shot." Serah said.

The 3 helped Noctis up to his feet. He picked up the broken necklace and they headed to leave the campus just as the clock had stroke to 4:55pm. It slowly began to rain and they were forced to seek shelter in Noctis house, Which wasn't far from the university.

When they arrived, Noctis prepared hot chocolate and told them to make themselves comfortable. He rested on his couch as the other 3 silenced themselves as Serah tries to contact her sister about what happened in the corridor that afternoon.

The next day, Noctis came to the university with Squall and Ignis on his side. The students turned around whenever they saw him looking at them. He was greeted with insulta and mockery such as "Cheating Faggot", "You ruined Lightning", "You're sick!". Even a few slaps from other women greeted him. His two buddies covered him as they made their way to class.

In the corridor, Noctis was greeted with insults again even at one point where he was screamed with "Die Noctis Die". At a distance, He sees Lightning with Caius. He saw that She was already comfortable with him. He looked at his ex with an angry stare.

Then the younger Farron went from his back and said. "Dont worry, I'll get to the bottom of this."

He nodded slightly before he entered the classroom as the classes were in session.
