Final Fantasy XV 💖Crystal Heart

5---Range of emotions

The sun begins to rise and morning dew glistens on the grass like tiny orbs.

The light glows over the two sleeping soundly and Promptos arm is still wrapped around her.

Sorrow begins to stir and she feels warmth from which her head is resting on.
It's slowly rising and falling, and...a heartbeat??

As she becomes more aware of her surroundings, she realises not what but WHO shes resting on. She lets out a tiny "eep!"

He turns his head in his sleep and mumbles. "Mmmm...spicy tacos...oh Ignis...keep em comin..."

*blushing now* Sorrow moves away quickly and quietly. She gently sets his arm on himself and her heart skips a beat. The chocobo he's laid back on lifts it's feathery head at her.

Sorrow looks around franticly, how did that happen? She flattens out her skirt and hand-brushes her hair.
She Looks up and notices the sunrise is too magnificent for words.

suddenly she remembers the nightmare she had and has a slight idea of how she may have ended up cuddled...with him...
She sits down watching Prompto carefully and re-braids her long hair, tying a purple ribbon at the end. Deep in thought.

He sits up and stretches his arms high and chest out. She jumps at the sight but she shakes it off.

He yawns turning her direction,
"Oh hey, when did you wake up?" He Re arranges his bedhead.

She looks at him, fiddling with her braid. " I've been awake for A while..."
She feels awkward that she was in his arms not 15 minutes ago so she lied.

Prompto pushes up and stands now.
"Let's head to Cape caem and we can talk on the way."

"Alright, I am hungry tho, can we stop somewhere?" She asks.

"Of course! I love food!" :D he exclaims with his voice heightened.

She thinks he has an unusual obsession with food, she chuckles slightly covering her mouth.

Prompto smiles and offers a hand to stand her up and she takes it.

" Wait..We need to rent a second chocobo for you." obviously two can't ride on one, or could they? Prompto did not want to be forward with her.

They begin their hike together back to Old lestallum for food and the rental.

Prompto can't help but think about her last night, it takes a while for him to speak up and ask.
"Can we...talk about last night? you were crying in your sleep and I..."

She cuts him off, "I am sorry, I don't want to bother anyone with my issues."
Sorrow stands there for a moment... she feels uncomfortable because her past keeps sneaking up on her.

"It seems like a pretty big deal tho.." he looks away with a saddened face. It seems like she opens up a bit, but snaps shut again.

"Wounds may heal but the memory is always there..I just need time to heal." She moves on forward..Now a faster pace , Prompto quickly follows almost having to chase after her.

He feels an anger rise up inside remembering her tear stricken words. Who would hurt someone so much that they wake up screaming in the night?
He makes a fist with his dominant hand: There will be hell to pay. His thoughts enraged. He feels protective over her, feelings welling up inside.

As they near the diner, he can't help but ask. " Who hurt you Sorrow?" His voice shakes in anger and breath quickening.

She feels cornered, just a few days ago she was still chained up, a prisoner. Forgotten.
But today a connection with a man she barely knows; but with it comes mixed feelings she doesn't understand.
