Final Fantasy XV One-Shots

Ghoul Older Noctis x Reader [You Should've]

She was woken by the sound of loud thunder outside her bedroom window, the room she shared with her husband king Noctis for two years now; she sighed softly from the small jump scare. Laying back down on the bed she reached her hand out to the left side of the bed only to feel it was empty and cold; sitting up she glance over to the empty side of the bed where Noctis was supposed to be hours ago but now he wasn't, was he still working late? Did he fall asleep in his office again?

Lifting the covers over her legs, she crawled out of bed grabbing her silk robe and wrap it around herself before leaving the chambers to look for Noctis; it wasn't anything new but tonight felt different somehow, but she couldn't put her finger on why it felt different. Nights like these it made the castle look creepier than normal, but she knew where Noctis' office was, and she made quick work to make her way over to his office door, knocking gently on the door before grabbing the knob and turning it to open the door.

"Noct? You in here?" she called out when opening the door and slipping through it to close it behind her.

The room was dark, and it felt eerier than before when she walked in further into the room only to feel her skin crawl when she heard a low snarl of some kind; was there an intruder? Did someone wish to make sick joke to frighten her? 

"Noct?" she called out once again already feeling her whole-body shivering from the frighting feeling she felt across her body.

But she gasped in fear once her [e/c] eyes caught sight of eyes that glowed red in the dark corner of the room, she backed away only to turn around to rush to the door; but she wasn't quick enough when she turned around holding her arms up to cover herself up only to feel a sharp pain in her right arm that made her slight whimper with a soft scream. But the bite didn't last long when she could sense the person in the room back away from her backing up to the desk in the middle of the room, ramming into it while knocking over a couple of things over from the impact.

She held her arm in her hand to stop the bleeding somehow before looking forward seeing the flash of lightening light up the room around them; her eyes widen in shock when seeing Noctis standing there just as shocked as she was with her blood dripping out of his mouth.

"Noct..." she whispered in shock and a bit of fear when she felt frozen to her spot.

"[Y-Y/n], I-I'm- Damn it..." he tried to speak only to look away from her not wishing for her to see him like this; he couldn't stand seeing her eyes filled with fear that was aimed towards him.

But feeling her touch on his shoulder made him tense from the touch, still not wishing to turn around to look at her and fear what he would see in her eyes if he looked at her now.

"Why didn't you tell me?" were her words that made Noctis turn to look at her, seeing a worried look on her face; she wasn't even bothered by her still bleeding arm.

"I....I didn't want to burden you or frighten you with this, this thing I became after the dark nights" Noctis started but sighed before continuing why he didn't tell her in the first place, knowing he changed when he woke up on the throne with the sword in his chest.

It took his friends and a couple trusted people to heal him only to learn that he could no longer eat human food and needed different food to survive now; he practiced long enough before [y/n] was brought to him for peace between nations, he dined with her like nothing had changed and has fooled her up till this night where he hadn't eaten anything for a couple of hours.

"I am your wife; you should've told me; I would have understood your worry" [y/n] said showing she was a little angry that he hid this from her from the moment they met and fooled her for two years.

"I know, I know I should've, but I'm used to losing the people I care about around me; I didn't want to lose you if you found out" Noctis understood her slight anger but was thankful she wasn't running away from him in fear and wished to never speak to him again.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise" she wrapped her arms around him, bringing him close to her when he wrapped his arms around her holding her just as tight.

"I'm sorry I hurt you" he whispered in her hair hating himself for hurting her like this.

"It's alright, no harm done" she whispered back holding him knowing he hated himself that he hurt her, but she knows he didn't mean to since he lost a little control but at least now she knows that she can help him and not think any sort of weird thoughts she came up with when he made a silly excuse here and there.
