Notes: Day 1 for @nyxnoctweek2020 using the prompt “Misunderstandings” :)
I need to leave the country immediately.
The text was sent to Prompto nearly thirty minutes ago and Noct can’t stop staring at it. It’s his one and only train of thought at the moment, stuck on a ruthless loop in his own head while he paces back and forth in his apartment. He tried sitting down to focus on his breathing, but every time he closes his eyes, Noct relives the moment he made a fool of himself.
He’s The Prince of Lucis, for Shivasake. Meant to inherit the throne and rule a kingdom. One would think he has a better grasp on social cues. No, no, no. Apparently any semblance of holding a normal interaction is out the door the second he’s faced with rugged features, a square jaw and periwinkle blue eyes.
Training with Nyx was going so well. Noct was at his peak performance, impressing Nyx with his speed and precision as they sparred. Hell, he figured even Gladio would give him a pat on the back and tell him he needed to see that fire more often. Nyx brings it out in him so easily, with his stupidly handsome smirk and the way he playfully goads Noct into keeping up with him as he warps.
With his confidence at an all time high, Noctis was ready to tell Prompto he was finally making headway with Nyx. A few more days, a few more training sessions, a little more flirting, and maybe Noct would be ready to ask him out after working up the courage for ages.
But then that simple fist was raised at him and -
“Noct?” Prompto knocks even though Noct mentioned the door would be open. “You here, buddy?”
