Stand by me

Silence

The next day the four of us had to leave the city and go to Hammerhead to get the Regalia fixed plus go daemon hunting because they spotted some nasty ones around. I didnt really want to go but i had no choice, King's orders.

We got into the Regalia and headed out. Ignis and Prompto took the front seat, usually i sit in front but after yesterday i rather sit next to Gladeo. I grabbed my book and just sat there and read while Prompto and Gladeo spoke. Ignis stayed silent unless it was a few tid bits here and there about Hammerhead and the possible Daemons running around. We learned a few hunters have tried to go after them but they had to back out at the last minute.

"I wonder if Cindy will be there" said Prompto

"I dont see why not, why dont you go up to her and tell her you like her" i said

"I cant do that" he said

"Scared?" i asked

"No" he said turning red

The road trip took a while, almost two hours of driving. i dont mind the long road trips it gives me some time to read. in between guarding the king and Noctis i trained like crazy and learned about the history with Ignis. well scratch that last one im pretty sure he wants nothing to do with me know. i took a deep breath and held in the tears, the other guys didnt need to know.

i was not mad with Ignis, i completely understood it was against the rules and they were afraid if i was in danger and the king was in danger they would be afraid he would save me and not the king. i just wish he didnt rush out of my room like he did.

we finally arrived in Hammerhead. Gladeo and i decided to check the perimeter for Daemons while Ignis and Prompto talked to Cindy.

"You ok?" asked Gladeo

"Im fine" i said

"Liar" he said

"Dont worry about it, i got it covered" i said

"Fine" he said

We completed our task and headed to the shop. Ignis was buying supplies while Prompto was failing at talking with Cindy.

"Storm, can we talk?" asked Ignis
