Noctis lead them down the hallway.

He wants them to be alone. He looks over his shoulder to see Prompto following him. Hand holding her wrapped bento with her head down. He stops feeling her bump into his back with an 'oof' then steps a few inches back looking at him as she rub her nose. Her cheeks pink. He turns his body to face her, he clears his throat, trying to calm his nerves.

"Let's talk here." He suggest once Prompto looks at him. The blonde takes a look around. They stand in the hallway in front of the library. They both know no one is going to come around here. Especially during lunch. The students avoid this place like the plague. Besides the bookworms, they live here. Prompto nods, now more curious than before about what the prince can want to talk about with her.

He leads her into the library, going to a small lounge area, two one person couches with a round coffee table in the middle. Noct motions for her to sit. The blonde does without much question. As she sits with her lunch on her lap, she watches as he sits down next to her. Noct looks over at her once he's seated but seeing her deep blue eyes on him makes him turn his eyes. He didn't think ahead.

How does he start this? Should he ask to be friends first? Or should he ease into that?

A slight pressure on his shoulder has him turning to her. He sees her retract her hand. She moves her phone closer to him, at first he thought she wanted to show him something on her screen. Then she touches something on her screen. "Are you upset about something I did?" the robotic voice asks. Noct eyes are hidden then looks over to her, expression sad and worried.

Rapidly he shakes his head. That's the last thing he wanted, to make her upset in anyway. "No. I'm not upset, I just wanted to talk... with you." Noct says blushing, did that seem weird, it sounded creepy in his ears and it was too late to stop himself.

"Just talk?" The robotic voice says, stiff but Noct knew it's meant as a question. Noct nods head turn away trying to get his warm face to cool off. "I thought you were mad about training." the robotic voice says. Noct looks at her shocked. Why would he be?

"Why would I be mad at that? I lost 'cause you are better." Noct says to her. For a second Prompto is dumbfounded, then she smiles. Noct just stares not sure where to go from here.

"So then what did you wantto talk about?" the voice wonders robotically. Noct perks, knowing this is a perfect time to start. First is King's Knight. Noct pulls out his phone, quickly he opens it and goes to the game. He shows the blonde the loading screen. Her eyes go to his phone, once they land on it she lets out a gasp. Her eyes snap to his, wide open, not able to believe he plays too. Noct smiles at her obvious stunned expression.

With her eyes on his face he speaks, "can we play together?" he asks, cheeks slightly pink. She nod insanely then looks down to her phone. Opening the app herself. Noct takes back his phone looking at it to see his character loaded and standing in the hub. He collects the daily rewards. He feels her poke his shoulder again. He turns to find her phone screen in his face. He sees she has pulled up her character sheet. He takes a long look at her username: QuickS1lver. He then turns to his phone screen to send her a friend request.

He double checks to make sure he spells it correct. He presses send with a shaky finger. He looks over to see her staring at her screen. He wait agonizingly long for his request to pop up. For a moment he worried that he spelled her name wrong. Did he just send a random person a friend request?

After a long ten seconds a ping is sounded from her phone. Excited she clicks on her inbox and sees it's a request from N0ctGar. She clicks on it then shows Noctis to confirm it's him. After receiving a nod she clicks accept. Noct sees the text about having a new friend. He couldn't help but smile to himself. He liked the sound of that.

He gets a message, instantly he clicks it, curious because he never gets messages.

It's from Prompto.Do you want to play a couple quests, do some missions?

After he finish reading he clicks to answer.Yeah. Do you want to do some daily missions first?He asks.

Already did them. But I wouldn't mind doing them again if you haven't.

Noct stops to read her text. He hasn't but when does she have time to?

They go back and forth a couple times before deciding to help Noct with his daily missions. In between loading screens Prom eats her lunch. Considering Noct already ate his he decides to check the stats of Prompto. Shocked to see how high of a level she is. And she has so many achievements, some of which are really hard to get. She's even got a lot of medals. Some are from helping strangers, others are supporting friends, and some are for doing certain things a certain number of times. She must play as much as he does, if not more.

Something Noct noticed playing with her, besides how fun it is, is how the fighting style her character does is almost the same in real life. He wonder if she trained to fight like her character or is it the opposite? Either way it works. She's very good in a fight. She's good at leading and as back up.

Noct sees the time, a slight frown forming on his face. It's almost time to go back to class. He wish they had more time. He didn't want this to end. The fun, the giggles they let out, their jokes. It's all... normal.

At least he thinks it's normal.

He feels ordinary, which he really likes. Hidden in this corner of the library, he forgot about so much. Now seeing the time though it's all coming back, all the responsibilities, the lack of personal space, the doubt. He doesn't want to go back but it's not as crushing as before. Oh right before he forgets.

Hey so my birthday party is next week. I don't know if Cor told you but you both are invited, would you come?He texts her, not daring to look up. He wasn't sure if he should ask her this first, not sure if she would reject him first. Then it'll be awkward to ask her to play. So he asked her to play Kings Knight with her first.

Yeah Cor told me. We're going. I'm excited to see what's it's like.

Noct smiles. She's coming to his party. Now he's excited about it. Way to go dad!

The rest of the day went by, but Noct didn't think about school.

"Well look who's happy." Gladio points out as Noct walk to the car. The prince ignores his shield as he gets into the car, eyes on his phone.

Ignis raises his eyebrow at Noct ignoring the shield, eyes glued on his phone. He look so relaxed and calm. What happened?
