TW: cursing and a bit of gore
You have never felt so irritated in your whole life.
You wanted to claw someone's eyes out, give them to a witch, and steal them back, only to put it in a jar with poison and lava.
You were usually a calm person most of the time, when no one was bugging you or disturbing you from your video games. But this... this was definitely different. And you wanted to get rid of it. Permanently.
But the feeling kept growing. Especially with the scene in front of you.
His hand held hers. He was smiling. He was happy with her.
You heard yet another chuckle from him. You felt as if someone ripped your heart and stabbed them over and over and over again with sharp scissors, blood spewing and splattering everywhere. And they're laughing manically, happilly insane with your pain. [1]
Wow, too much information there, [Name]...
But that's exactly how you felt. You were clutching on your shirt, where your heart should be, glaring with everything you could with teary eyes.
You felt so irritated it hurts so bad.
You were just walking around the castle's park, why would it end up with this?
You tried to look away. You really wanted to rip him out of her hands, take him closer to you, and kiss him so fucking bad...
But you knew better than that. You didn't want your friendship would end. It was better to have him happy with another girl, than hating you for doing that.
But now?
You were going to concider it. Really.
"I just... don't know what to do..." You heard his voice. It confuses you why it sounds so hopeless. Even if he was usually quiet, calm, and composed, never have you seen, or heard of in any matter, Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum being like that. Sure, he had his moments in the years of friendship you've been through, but...
Your thought were cut off when you heard her voice. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll figure something out!" Stella's chiming voice tried to lighten him up. Your glare to her came back a hundred fold, as if you were trying to bore holes in her body. You didn't hate Stella, in fact, she is a good friend, it's just that she was becoming a little bit too close to Noctis, and you're scared that they might be in loβ
"With someone as dumb as [Name]? Yeah, not a chance." He scoffed, glaring at some random tree.
"W-what...?" Your irritation was removed slightly, replaced by confusion. You wanted to scream at him about not being dumb, but you were hiding yourself, and that isn't a good move to make. Insult aside, what in the name of Etro is he saying?
"You're Noctis! You know what to do!" Stella encouraged, but mumbling quietly, and you had to strain your ears to hear. "... most of the time."
You almost giggled at her comment, if not with the big shit that you were going to be into if you got found out.
Apparently, the Prince heard of the comment and glared at her lightly. "What does that mean?" The blonde smiled and snickered.
"But she is dumb." She commented.
Your irritation came back again, along with your glaring. "Gee, thanks a fucking lot..." You muttered darkly.
"She doesn't even realize you have fallen for her! I mean, it was obvious, even your father and Prompto knew!"
A groan. "Stella...! You don't have to say it like that!"
"Hehe, you didn't deny it though!"
Your eyes became blank and your expression became black too. You felt as if everything in your body was frozen, as if trying to register the words that you just heard. Sure, he fell on you back when you were kids and when you met and he was really heavy... but...
"When did he fell on me?" You asked yourself, tilting your head slightly. "I don't recall anything about him falling on me in the past week, month, or year, only back when were kids..."
"Hey, did you hear that?"
Your eyes widened a fraction, hands quickly clasping on your mouth. Curses and swears are the mantras in your head.
"Hear what?"
"That!"
"I heard nothing."
You were about to breath a sigh of relief when your eyes met red ones.
"But I saw something."
Oh. Shit.
No swear word could even comprehend how fucked you are. And that's just saying something.
"A-ah... Hi... Noctis..." You nervously greeted him, "I was definitely and absolutely not eavesdropping on you two. W-why would I even do that a-anyway...?"
Great. Now I just made it obvious. Guess I am dumb after all...
Stella, when seeing you, grinned mischievously and threw the Prince a wink and thumbs up, mouthing the words "Go get her, Princey!" Noctis glared at her with pink cheeks. He then looked at you, who is still trembling nervously. Your thoughts were in a huge jumbled mess, you didn't even realize his face were dangerously close to yours.
Why did I even follow them out here?
"[Name]."
I'm so stupid, they're just trash talking about me... or something...
"[Name]."
Why would Noctis fall... for... m-me... anyway...?
You eyes widened in realization and you felt something hold your hand tightly and cup your cheek. That's when you blinked, and you blushed at the feeling of his hand in yours and the other on your cheek. His thumb brushed near the end of your eyes, where tears once dripped.
"...are you okay?" He asked with concern dripping on his words. You averted your eyes away from him, biting your lip. For some reason, your tears couldn't stop falling down. "[Name], answer me, please?"
You kept your mouth shut, scared that if you opened your mouth, you'll only cry harder. So, you just resorted to shaking your head in response. Your heart kept clenching itself, and it hurts so bad.
"Why?" He brushed more tears away, making you blush harder and your chest to become more painful. You stayed silent, staring sorrowfully in the ground. "[Name]... tell me. I'm your friend... right?" You flinched at the word 'friend'. So he really thinks of me that way. What am I even thinking, he's a prince... I'm no princess.
You took a deep breath, "G-get off me... please..." You tried to shove him off you, but he was too strong. You swore you saw his eyes flashed red, and felt yourself trapped in his hold, his hands holding your wrists in place. "N-Noctis! Please, let me go!"
"No! Never!" You stared at him with pleading eyes. "I'll never let you go!" You felt the heat in your face increase, and your mouth opening in shock. He suddenly slammed his lips into yours, your face exploding to a brilliant shade of red.
Is this really happening? You tried to move your hands, and you felt his grip loosen, trailing down to pull you closer. You slowly moved your fingers to bury them to his hair, which was surprisingly soft. You shut your eyes close, trying to move your chapped lips in sync with his. You felt him smile, and... oh my god.
Is that his tongue?
If you aren't already a living tomato, you would've been now. In instinct, you pulled out of the kiss, a string of saliva connected both of your lips. You just stared at it, like you could blush more or anything.
He chuckled in amusement and brushed it away with his hand. Your attention was quickly directed to him. He was smirking at your face, making your inner fangirl squeal and jump in joy, rolling around in circles. "You look a apple." He said bluntly. You glared at him as much as you could muster. "An apple that I won't mind eating."
You continued to gape at him in shock. You felt as if your whole body was blushing like hell. Strangled words came out of your mouth. Your heart, it felt like it was going to burst out.
Another chuckle. It took all you willpower to snap out of it and bury your face in his shoulder, though it wasn't helping that you could smell his scent. "...s-shut up... will you...? I can't... I can't... my heart..."
His arms held you, while you felt his breath over to your ear, and you could almost hear a smile on his voice.
"Love you too."
