The Big Book Of Video Game Imagines

In the Moment (Nyx Ulric/Reader) (Final Fantasy XV)

"There's the birthday girl!"

Gladio's deep voice from the doorway of your startle you, making you jump from your sitting position by the large window overlooking Insomnia. Your hands immediately went to cover your heart as you quickly spun around, looking at him with your (E/C) eyes filled with slight fear. Gladio's big, goofy grin was contagious, turning your small frown into a kind and gentle smile. You chuckled at your brown-haired friend as you relaxed your posture and beckoned him to come into your room and join you by the window.

"Gladio, it's nice to see you. What brings you up here? Is my birthday celebration truly boring without me?" Gladio joined you by the window, standing a few feet away from you to take in your appearance.

Your appearance was similar to a queen; you were a princess to the Lucian throne, but your time would come. Your gown was the midnight sky over insomnia, detailed with scattered crystals embedded in the fabric. The skirt of your lustrous gown was large and puffy, the top layer of the skirt was a smooth fabric that was soft to the touch. The bodice of your gown was done in lace, depicting very detailed lucian flowers; it was completed with a sweetheart neckline and lace sleeves. Your small tiara was a black frame with pure white diamonds. You had never actually been this dressed up since your younger brother, Noctis' sixteenth birthday celebration.

"Noctis and I decided to come and check on you; the party is missing it's guest of honor after all. If you ask me, I think if you were to grace the guests with your presence, it would be much more livelier," Gladio folded his arms across his chest, crinkling the arms of his crownsguard uniform; it was altered to a suit, trying to make it fit the occasion. "Noctis and your father were just worried about you, that's all. You look stunning by the way."

You looked down at your regal attire and then back at the him with a small blush and smile. "Thanks, you know that I really don't dress up like this; I'm more of a casual girl. I do have to say that my maids and other royal advisors did a wonderful job on my appearance." You spun around quickly just to show Gladio, he only chuckled. "If you came up here with Noctis, where is he, if I may ask?"

"He ran to his quarters, he said he had a gift for you." Gladio told you as you walked over to your vanity just to check on your make-up. As you spoke of his name, Noctis walked through the door, holding a small black box in his hands. He looked to be out of breath; he must've sprinted down the long hallway. "Ah, speak of the prince."

"Yeah, sorry i'm late. Gladio, I ran into some other crownsguardmen in the hallway, they were looking for you; they need you for security orders at the front gate." Noctis informed his personal bodyguard and friend; Gladio quickly took note of his duties and dismissed himself from your presence.

"It's good to see you, little brother. I heard you missed me?" You approached him with a wide and gentle smile, giving him a tight hug. The heels you wore gave a slight advantage to be taller than him by a couple of inches.

"You're only older than me by two years, don't get too ahead of yourself, (Y/N)." Noctis joked with you as you lightly punched him in the arm. Even though you were the older one, he was the one with a more potential promise of inheriting the Lucian throne before you. "But, I guess i'll let you have your moment."

The room was filled with silence until you decided to speak up. "Have you heard the news from father yet? He has ordered me to travel with you to Altissia; he wishes me to witness your marriage to Luna and to be her maid of honor, if she'll have me." Your voice was soft, matching the soft muffled music that was playing down a couple floors below.

"I have. I'm glad you're joining me, I won't feel so alone from home; plus, you and Luna will get right along, I know it's been a while, but she loves you just the same as she did twelve years ago." Noctis smiled at you, giving you reassurance that your presence was welcomed on the journey. "Another thing with the journey. This gift is for you; it's from me and dad. We thought you would really like it."
