"I'm going to start off with the fact that she is the Crown fucking Princess, Yamachang!" I spit and he shrugged.

"Her dad said it was okay, didn't he-"

"Not the freaking point, idiot! Besides, we're both busy-"

"You spend most of your time in your apartment-"

"Doing shit for the Glaive until that new building is complete!" I argued with Crowe, but she rolled her eyes.

"Nyx, really, he's got a point. You two have kissed at least twice, her dad and brother approve already, and you've already said you love her. What's holding you back?" Pelna asked and I sighed as I looked at the table, twirling my beer.

"I-"

"Don't lie." Libs said and I smiled.

"Honestly, I think it's just me overthinking everything." I finally said and sighed as I ate lunch.

Three Months Later
I walked into the new Kingsglaive HQ then went up to Nyx's office, the paperwork in my arms. As I flipped through them to find what I needed, someone bumped me and knocked the papers from my arms as I fell to my hands and knees.

"Atalie!" I heard, but I tilted my head as I got a vision, seeing pink and blue petals falling, hearing bells, seeing a gorgeous wedding dress, and beautiful blue eyes.

"Atalie, talk to me!" I blinked and turned, seeing Nyx there.

"Ny-Nyx?" I breathed, realizing Crowe and Libs had gathered my papers while I had my vision.

"What was it?" Nyx asked, helping me stand, but I shook my head.

"I-I think it was a wedding." I whispered, holding my head.

"Wedding? Who's?" Crowe asked, but I shook my head and fell against Nyx.

"I-I couldn't tell, but there was a beige dress and flower petals and bells." I said then Nyx helped me to his office and sat me down.

"Well, it's obviously not your brother's if you saw a dress-"

"Don't put it past Prompto to show up in a dress for the hell of it, Libertus." Nyx laughed and we laughed, but I was trying to figure it out. Blue eyes, only a handful of people I know have blue eyes, including Nyx and Noctis.

"Do you have any idea at all who it could be?" Libs asked, but I shook my head.

"I-I didn't see any features of who the couple was." I lied and pushed my hair back.

"Uh, I- the papers I had, Nyx." I started and Crowe handed them to me.

"What about them?" Nyx asked and I licked my lips.

"Here, this is what I was trying to give you." I said and handed him the reports.

"These are the applicants?" He asked and I nodded.

"It seems it was a good idea to put the Kingsglaive building here. So many immigrant men and women are applying." I said and he looked at his two co-captains. Because the Glaive was growing as much as it was, he elected Crowe and Libertus as Squad Leaders/Co-captains. Pelna was now the training leader, since he was always way ahead of everyone else in training.

"Astrals, we-" The world around me fell away as I saw the room change to the Festival Square, pink and blue petals falling as bells rang in the distance. I slowly stood then stared at the end of the aisle, seeing Ignis standing there in a pristine suit, even for his usual attire. As I blinked, I stared as there were now rows and rows of people sitting in chairs, leaning over the balconies overlooking the square, and a couple standing before Ignis. I could only see their backs, but I recognized the man as Nyx with Libertus and Pelna standing just beside him.

"Atalie!" I heard a distant voice, but I ignored it as I tried to see who the bride was. Next to her was Crowe and Pelna's girlfriend, Vikki.

"Atalie, wake up!" A voice yelled and I stared as the bride turned with a concerned look on her face and I saw Astral blue eyes and platinum silver hair. When I blinked, I was staring out the window of Nyx's office with Nyx holding my shoulder, looking just a bit worried.

"Atalie-"

"I-I'm okay." I whispered, gripping his arm as I tried to understand what I just saw.

"What is it? Did you see the wedding again?" He asked and I licked my lips.

"I-I have to go." I said and turned, grabbing my papers and leaving.

Nyx's POV
I watched her run out then looked at my best friends, who looked worried.

"I'll try and talk to her-"

"No, Crowe, I'll call her brother and tell him to check on her." I said and she nodded.

"For now, get the other Squad Leaders and go over these applicants. Weed out the ones who applied for a joke and those who mean it." I said then they left with the lists as I sat at my desk and called the king. It took me too long to get ahold of him, but when I did, even he sounded worried after I explained the situation to him.

"That's not like Atalie. She's usually very open about her visions."

"I know, but she refused to tell us anything and ran out before I could even ask her about the second one-"

"Wait, it wasn't one consecutive vision?!" He asked, but I shook my head and sighed.

"No, she had a vision in the hall then a second one a few moments later inside my office. It's as if, whatever she saw, the Astrals wanted to make sure she saw it clearly. This second one was unlike any of her other visions, Noctis." I said and tried to think of a good way to explain it.

"She- normally, she responds during the vision, but it was like she was somewhere else completely this time! Like she wasn't even in this room! I'm afraid that, if she has something like this again-"

"She'll hurt herself." He said and I nodded.

"Please talk to her, I'm not going to get home until late and she's usually asleep by ten." I said and he huffed.

"I'll drop by and talk to her, see if I can't get her to talk to me." He said and I thanked him.

"See ya, Nyx."

"Goodbye, Noctis." I said and hung up, getting started on the paperwork I had before I distracted myself even more with thoughts of Atalie.
