Author's Note: Alright, I've decided to make this a collection of lightis prompts suggested from Tumblr. I had fun writing them, I think it's challenging, though I admit that I have this second story past several months and just able to upload it today. Sorry.

[Noctis]

It's been almost a month since she came into my life. I admit, it's really hard to cope up with her and her secretive attitude. She's always all but silent. Though I found myself enjoying being with her even if most of it was treated with silence. Maybe she really went through a lot of things, though my curiosity always wanted her to open up to me, at least some of her past. But none of it escaped her lips. So I asked her where she was from but she said that I'd rather not know, because that place was a place I'll never know. Man, I feel like going crazy that first whole week being with her. But I will never give up. I found myself wanting to help her, whatever was that troubling her. But as days go by that month, I decided not to force her to speak about herself if she's not yet ready.

Then I let her stroll around the castle, I asked our designer and dress maker to design and make her some dresses from her daily clothes to her sleeping clothes, or rather night gowns that is, and most of it were black and of variety designs and I'd say, she took my breath away as she started to wear those. But soon my father grew suspicions as to why she was still here so I decided to explain everything to him and finally tell the truth to him. Then I told him that it may sound weird but she's the woman that usually appeared in my dreams. And I felt connection towards her and thankfully, my father seems to understand and he gladly welcomed her to our kingdom. And from that day on, my father casually speaks with her and what I hate was that my father somehow got some information about her and I learned that she once lived in a place called Bodhum. Don't I look trustful enough to her?

Well never mind, maybe it's better, so that my father would not feel any suspicions to her, because I already trust her so much.

That morning, I found her walking around our huge garden. She's wearing a thin silk dress that reached her toes. The dress embraced her neck which reveals her flawless back. And around her waist was a black ribbon, embracing her curves. And as always, she looked enchanting. As for me, I only wore a black buttoned down, long-sleeved polo that was tucked in my black denim pants and I partnered it with black leather shoes. I decided to fold up the sleeves of my polo up to my elbows. Then I slowly approached her.

"Uhm...h-hi." I attempted to greet. I slowly placed my hands behind my back. She was sliding her fingertips along the soft petals of the red roses before she moved her attention to me.

"Hey." was her simple greeting. "You want anything?"

'Yes, you.' I thought, but did it really come in my mind? I hid a smile. "Well, actually I-I just wanted to ask you out tonight." I shrugged. "I-if it's alright with you?" tch! Stop stammering. Well, she's just too lovely to stare at. So flawless.

Her eyes glanced down before they stare back at me. I never felt so nervous before. So this was how hard to ask a girl out. Especially to someone you felt a liking to. And I found myself wishing along the drumming of my heart against my chest. 'Please say yes! Please say yes!'

"Alright." she said.

I found myself smiling and about to jump. But thankfully I have controlled myself. I just gave her one of my smiles and I hope I don't look so much happy.

"Great!" I said. "I'll be seeing you in front of the entrance at around six in the afternoon." Then I slowly left her. And as she was out of my sight, I started to smile to myself like an idiot teenager.

[Lightning]

I watched him leave and I turned my head back at a certain red rose, the biggest and the reddest among the rest. I let my fingers feel its softness but also being careful not to prick my finger. It has been a month since I've got here on this place. I have not lost count. And I have been wondering how long I am going to stay here in this place.

Noctis.

The stranger that always appeared in my dreams. I could say, he's not bad at all. Though, I still hesitated to open myself to him, even though my mind tells me that I can trust him. So far, I can't sense any danger. And I think that's good. But there was this one thing that I always noticed in my one month of stay in here. Everything was seriously black. Even the garments that Noctis gave to me, that were mostly dresses, were also black, even all of the underwear they gave to me. I sometimes wonder if it's a crime to wear a white here.

On my first days here, I could not feel at ease, I always thought that the people around here were just being nice to me. But I told myself , maybe I should put my trust to these people, since I believe Etro sent me here for a reason I did not know yet. And maybe that's the thing I should do. To know what my main purpose here. I also had sleepless nights and even nightmares. About War. My family. And Serah. I heave a deep sigh and clutched my hand on my chest.

I turned my head over the old-looking fountain that was surrounded by creepy-looking little angels statues which looked like playing around the fountain. My feet walked towards it and I took a sit on the bench beside it. This place looks lonely yet wonderful. I sometimes wonder if it's only Noctis and his father who lived here in this huge house. Speaking of his father, King Regis was one wise old man and was even kind. I kind of missed being treated with my family. But I admit I happen to build up an irritation against my father, because I think he was being too reckless that instead of protecting his family, he ended up placing us into danger. Or that's what I think. Serah loved him so much that as he died, Serah really cried so hard and always told me that she misses dad so much. Maybe that's one reason Serah loved Snow, because I admit that Snow kind of reminds us with our father. His reckless attitude, like he knows everything. But Regis was different, so much different from my father. Regis seems cold but I could see in his eyes on how he was determined to protect his kingdom as well as his family, Noctis. And maybe if it would come to a point that he have to sacrifice his life for his kingdom, he's willing to do that, if that's the only choice and thing he have to do, for the Kingdom's safety. But well, I could say that every father have that determination and will to protect what's theirs. And of course, that's likely what every parent will do. At that thought of the word 'father', Noctis came into my mind all of a sudden. One I never expected. And I felt my heart beating weirdly fast.

'What's this feeling?'

I suddenly felt anxious. I want to run, to dance around. To look for him. To talk to him about things, I don't know. I just want to see him. I found myself standing up, but instead of searching for him. I went to half run to the pond that could be also found in the backyard, though, further, hoping that somehow this strange feeling would vanish. Then I saw my reflection on the pond, but instead, I found a sad girl. I sighed. Then I gently tried to smile, maybe that girl I saw will look kind of happy. But as I did, the man that I have just thought few minutes and the reason I suddenly felt such new, yet strange feeling, suddenly appeared beside my reflection. I gasped and my heart jumped, then I at once turned to my right and I saw him. 'Thank Etro! I thought I'm imagining things.'

"Have I surprised you?" smiled Noctis.

I tried to hide my embarrassment by simply looking back at the clear pond.

"Y-you...er, suddenly appeared." I muttered.

"hmm." he hummed in response and continued. "I'll take that as a yes."

Then silence embraced us. But I felt awkwardness in the air. Or maybe it's only me. Or maybe the reason I'm feeling this way towards him was because he was the only person here, other than King Regis, who I have spoken with so far. But my mind was not satisfied by that reason.

"Oh, by the way before I forgot. The dress that you'll be wearing tonight was already placed in your wardrobe." He said, cutting off the deafening silence.

I managed to turn my head to him, though I'm starting to feel irritated with myself for feeling awkward. I just gently nodded my head. "...Alright." And I looked away.

Then another silence.

I, once again, turned my head back to him. And I found his eyes just fixed at the clear pond, though I could see sadness in them. "Erm..." I said. "Are you alright?" I managed to ask. But it seemed that I have surprised him. I could see how his eyes widened as he turned at me.

"Y-yes. I'm fine at all." he shrugged. Then his phone rang. He walked a bit far from me and I watched him took and answered his phone. But I decided to look away, before he felt suspicious towards me. And I heard that a meeting was going to be held and obviously he was needed there. Then he hangs up. I felt his footsteps towards mine.

"Er...L-Light?" he muttered. And I turned at him.

"Hm?"

"So, I'm going. See you later tonight." he gently smiled and started to leave.

ooo

I stared at the black dress that was lying on my bed for a long time. The dress looked simple. I took it and started to get myself ready for tonight. I was about to take what I'm currently wearing off when somebody knocked. I sighed and went for the door.

"Good Afternoon, ma'am." A maid came to greet me. Not another one. I just don't like being served, because I can do better.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Prince Caelum sends me here to help you get dress."

"Oh. I'll just call you if I needed you. But thanks." I gave her a weak smile, sign of my politeness. Then I closed the door.

I started to undress and went put on the new dress, and it wrapped around my body just fine. The neckline formed a V-shape that traces down my chest, showing a small of my cleavage. I stared at the mirror and again, I don't think that the person that's staring back was me. The dress ended up just an inch above my knees. Was this all that I must wear for the night?

Honestly, I don't want to think that Noctis was asking me out on a date. I haven't dated anyone back then, where Serah and I were still together. All the things that my mind could think of was work, work and work. And soon I realized, I haven't spent much of my time for Serah. And one day, I learned that she was already dating someone. And I never felt happy about it, especially when I met the guy she was dating, Snow Villiers. But instead of stopping her from doing it, I acted like a kid and let her do what she wants, because I felt that she doesn't needed me. But my grudge on her changed into regret, when I learned that she became a l'cie-My thoughts were distracted by another knocking at the door and I realized that I have been standing in front of the mirror. Then I opened the door and saw the same maid that went earlier.

"Ma'am, here are your shoes." She said, handling me a black elegant looking box. I took it and said my gratitude before she left. I sat on the huge bed and placed the box on my lap before I opened it. A pair of black closed shoes greeted me, and it has an inch pointed heels. I wore it and they're comfortable than it looks. I stared at the clock and it's already five in the afternoon. I took my leave from the room to finally meet Noctis outside. But as my foot stepped out, a man also dressed in black came into view. Then he spoke. "Come, Madame and let me put you some make up."

[Noctis]

I walked back and forth at our grand living room. My heart would not stop pounding against my chest. It's already five and yet I couldn't wait to see her. I wore a white dress shirt which I topped with a black long sleeved sweater. Then I partnered it with a black fitted denim pants and black leather shoes. I wore the best perfume and spent most of the available hours in styling up my hair. And yet here I was, anxious and nervous. After several minutes of waiting, finally the time I've been waiting for has come. Our personal homosexual stylist walked elegantly as he led to my direction the woman I've wanted to see. She's walking behind him so I couldn't see her completely. But I felt my heart stopped in its place and I find it hard to breathe. My feet couldn't move.

"Your Highness!" our stylist said as he continued to walk towards me. "Let me present to you, Ms. Light." he gave me a genuine smile before he stepped aside and held Lightning's hand and presented her to me. And she never failed to take my breath away. My eyes slightly widened and my mouth gently parted. She looked perfectly stunning. My lips couldn't help but to twitch in a small curve, forming a smile. I held out my hand to her. My heart seems to explode anytime. Honestly, I haven't recognized her myself. Her hair was braided and as usual it hanged on her left shoulder. And her eyes went alive because of the make-up and her lips were luscious as ever. And I always found myself wanting to taste her lips.

She took my hand and I swear that if I'm not strong enough, I'm gonna faint here any minute. Her hands are so soft, and I've been tempted to squeeze it.

"Shall we?" This time I smiled, wider. She looked at me and nodded with a gentle smile. I hope she could smile any wider too.

I lead her outside to my car and I drove this time, because I want this moment to keep her solo for myself, and no other. It took me weeks since I first saw her to finally admit to myself that I really like her and it just surprised me. It surprised me on how this woman of few words has captivated my heart. Knowing that all she did was to just keep quiet. Yet here I am super drawn towards her. She just placed me under a spell, and I don't want to be rid of that spell. I hope that I have put her under mine too, but she seems uninterested and all. And that thought kinda make me sad. I wonder what's running into her mind. What she thinks of me? Or have I even crossed her mind? But a thought came into me. I wondered all of a sudden if there's already a man that owns her feelings. And my heart screamed "No."

It took me several minutes to finally recover from the thought and realize that I was already driving the highway. We're just all but quiet. None of us dared to speak up first. In my case, I'm too nervous to speak. Hell, I don't even know what to say. And we stayed like that through the whole ride.

[Lightning]

I could say that it's been a while since I went to see the outside of this world, knowing that I was caged in the Caelum dynasty since I first got here. The events when I first stepped my foot here was still clear in my mind. I took the chance to feast my eyes on the outside, but all I could see are the lights from the cars and the street lights. This world was different from mine. Even so much different. In my world, the vehicles used to float in the air, while here, they have four wheels. Even their clothing is different. Like I said and always noticed, Noctis and the people inside his castle wears black, and the castle itself was black-themed, and his car too, and my dress too. I heave a sigh. I let my eyes wander through the streets.

Until I felt my eyes heavy and all became black.

"Lightning?" I heard Serah's voice in the darkness. Then I felt someone shaking me.

"Light?" She called me once again, but her voice seems weird suddenly. I decided to call her out. "Serah?"

"Lightning" Then my eyes snapped open, and I saw Noctis beside me. I blinked. "W-what happened?"

"You fell asleep, and it seems you're having a nightmare. Are you alright?"

I nodded and I leaned off the backrest of the car. "W-where are we?"

"We're here." He said.

[Noctis]

"Good Evening, your highness and milady," the waiter smiled at us and handed us the menus. "My name's Leo and it's a very great honour to have you here as our guest, Your Highness." I just glanced at him and gently smiled at him. 'I hope you can leave us for a while, Leo', I thought, but he just stood there and patiently waited for us. I glanced at Light and I flushed as I found her eyes already focused towards mine. I blinked and gently coughed. "...erm, do you have something that you like?"

"Er, no." she gently shook her head as she mumbled and added. "I was actually letting you decide. Since I'm not really familiar with the foods here, honestly." she glanced down, occasionally and she gently pursed her lips. Cute. And that small gesture from her already makes me blush.

"Alright and it's okay." then I turned at Leo and he at once gave his full attention to me. Then I told him my order and I ordered my favourite dish. I kind of trying to impress her with my taste of food. I smiled to myself, as I decided to scan the place. This was one of my personal favourite restaurant in Lucis, not only the foods here were delicious, but also the very place was perfect if you want something romantic for your date, or just merely want to relax. And it should be, since the place is un-jokingly expensive. My family along with the other kingdoms usually held the private meetings here, and this place during that time will only be limited to us and the invited ones. Then my eyes after it took its long roam around, landed to the woman that suddenly crossed my life. And I noticed she too, was doing the same, scanning the area as well. I decided to break off the silence despite the soothing and calming music around.

"So..." I started, finally getting her attention as she turned her head back at me, at once. "How do you like the place so far?" I continued. I just want to know what she thinks of the place, because maybe I'm the only one liking it.

"It looks great. I've never been in such before, to be honest." She muttered and I felt glad that she finds this place great as well.

"Oh, if you don't mind, can you tell me what your place was like? What kind of places could be seen?"

"Well you can say that we also have such places like this but..." She glanced down, and did I just saw her sheepish expression? Cute. "...I'm so busy with work to even have time to go in such... And I admit that I can't afford these kind of...places." she glanced down.

"No need to worry yourself too much, at least you're here with me now." Then another awkward silence passed between us. I cursed myself mentally to even telling her that. But I'm also glad that I have made her know how glad I am that she's with me.

After few minutes the food finally came, and every now and then I'll glance up at her to see how the food was, but she just casually ate so I decided to break my curiosity.

"So how's the food?" I said.

She glanced up at me, pursing her lips after sipping a soup, and my eyes landed on her soft healthy lips which made me gulp. I at once focused back my eyes to her face but her electrifying eyes caught me. Damn everything about this woman got me captivated. And I found my heart beating rapidly.

"It tastes great." She said with a soft smile, making her look like an angel. And now cheesy lines run through my head. Since when did I become corny, but it's a nice feeling. I coughed to break my awkwardness and managed a smile.

"That's so good to know."

Then after it, I'm glad that we finished the food, peacefully without the need to feel so awkward or maybe it's just me. But I observed her in the corner of my eye. She ate so elegantly, she sits up gracefully. The way the spoon met her lips was just so nice. Man, she's truly an angel from above, and Etro sent her to me, I'm thankful. And I feel like a mad man in love, or do I really am? I almost coughed to myself from all the crazy things that came into my mind. I swear if she knows how to read my mind, I can't truly face her now. I took a glance at her for the umpteenth time. Then I tried to act coolly.

"…So?" I said. And as she turned up to look at me, those piercing blue eyes of hers always strike my heart, making it bounce so fast. I hope she knows what impact she has for people whenever she looks at them, so she could just at least, avoid it. But no, I like it that way. I love her eyes.

"So…what?" she suddenly spoke, pulling me out of my reverie. And it made me flush.

"Er…care for a dance?" I finally, as in finally said it out. I held my breath.

"Sure thing." Then she stood up, and I followed suit, feeling so relieved.

I held out my hand to her and lead her outside to the gazebo just outside the restaurant, and there were musicians there. I positioned myself, and then I nervously brought my right hand to her surprisingly slim yet curvy waist. I gulped hard, and the other I held her soft hand. Man, she's truly a goddess, there's no denying it. Then I managed to look into her eyes that always pierced my soul. And it calms me in a very pleasant way.

[Lightning]

I was never used to dancing especially with a partner. But maybe it's not wrong to give it a try. And it would be a shame to take his offer down, since we're already—and I can't still believe it—on a date.

I feel a little uncomfortable still, as I felt his gentle hand on my waist. But I easily managed. Then I went to hold his shoulder and I held his hand by my other free hand.

The calming music started, and then I stared up at him. We started moving our feet sideways, slowly. I just stared into his eyes. And they're just so blue. I found myself feeling peaceful staring at them.

"Say, what's a prince? What do you do?" I decided to ask, since what is he really? Why did they call him prince? If you're a prince, how does it differ you from the others?

"Oh. Er I don't know either. Sometimes I wish I'm not a prince and I sometimes think what it feels like being not a prince. To feel…free." He glanced away occasionally. And I well know the feeling of being caged. Of being not free. Being a l'cie wasn't an easy task, someone's holding you. Telling you what to do, and if you didn't do that. You're doomed.

"Then why didn't you fight?" I asked

"That's what I do. I fight. To protect my kingdom. My people. And everything I do is being watched, so I also have to be careful, or else, you'll be the worst being in everyone's eyes."

"So…you're a ruler?"

"My father is. And one day, he will leave this world, and that's my time to rule Lucis. But I think I'm not yet ready. I still need him."

I suddenly remembered Serah. The only family I had. I still have to fight just for me to bring her back. And that's why I ended up here in Lucis. Then I muttered.

"You're lucky; you still have your family. So you take care of him while you still can. " I managed to smile at him though weakly. And I found him just staring at me. And I decided not to speak. Then we just danced slowly.

As we danced, Serah was in my mind. I wonder what if I stumbled upon her here in this world, or maybe if she saw me having my very first date, after decades, she sure will happily jump and even squeal right in my ear, like she's the one who got a date. I smiled to myself. Not noticing that I've stopped moving my feet. Then I lowered my head, closing my eyes, to refrain the tears that slowly formed in my eyes.

"A-Are you alright?" I heard Noctis say. Then I felt his hand on my chin, and he made me look up at him. Thankfully, my tears didn't fall. Or maybe I was wrong.

"Are you crying?" he brushed the tear that fell from my left cheek by his thumb. Then I gently shoved his hand away and faced my back at him.

"Yes. I'm fine." I managed to say. This was embarrassing; I'm not used to people seeing me weak. Even towards Serah, I never showed myself crying in front of her. I have to be strong for her. But I just missed her now, so much. I embraced myself and just stared at the horizon. And the glittering stars have somehow helped me relaxed. Then I felt a warm thing around my shoulders, as I turned I found that Noctis wrapped his sweater around me. I looked at him and saw that he's only on his white dress shirt now. "Thanks" I muttered.

"So you want to go back?" He asked.

"No, I want to stay here for a while." I said.

[Noctis]

I gently held her shoulders. "Come." Then I gently brought her in the middle of the open field. And we sat on the Bermuda grass. And we stared at the stars.

"Do you believe on a wishing star?" I said.

"Well, not really, but I remembered wishing on the fireworks, but it never granted my wish."

It really worried me so much, as I found a tear from her eyes. I wanted to comfort her, to grant her wish whatever it was.

"All you need is faith." I said. "But if the stars are still stubborn to grant your wish, let me help you get it."

Then I found that cute smile on her again, making my stomach flutter.

"N-no need to. I-I don't want you to drag into this." She said.

"I'm happy to be dragged into your life." It was meant to be a private joke, but I found myself, blushing. Especially she's so staring at me. "I-I mean…j-just forget my last statement." I heave a deep sigh. Man, my heart was so beating hard and fast. What am I trying to say? But I found myself serious when I said that. I'm willing to give her everything. Or maybe it's easy to say it than done. I wish I could really give her everything. Then I looked back up in the sky, when suddenly a streak of light appeared, "Hey look a wishing star. Let's try to make a wish." I hurriedly told her but the star also disappeared at once. Then I saw her just staring at them and I knew she's making a silent prayer to it. So I bowed my head and closed my eyes and I whispered to myself.

"I wish Lightning to be my wife and queen."
