(Y/n)'s POV

"Uh Gladio, why do you not have shirt on?" Noctis asks awkwardly, looking at Gladio's bare chest.

"I just feel like it, it's a hot day." Gladio responds nonchalantly.

"Not like the big guy ever wears much anyway." Prompto adds jokingly.

I tried joking along with them, but couldn't say anything.

I've had a crush on Gladio for as long as I can remember, and this was not helping me conceal it.

I could feel myself staring but was unable to look away, absolutely petrified.

How could I focus on anything else?

"Uh (n/n), you ok there?" Prompto questions me.

I hadn't realized my staring was so obvious. I look away, blushing. Hoping no one else noticed.

"Is everybody ready?" Ignis asks, finally finished packing our stuff back into the Regalia from the campsite.

"Yeah, lets go." Noctis says, and we all walk to the car.

***

I sit awkwardly in the Regalia. Usually I could handle sitting next to Gladio without feeling awkward, but this time was different.

Since there wasn't much space in the car, I had to squeeze in between Noctis and Gladio. My arm was touching his and I couldn't move.

"Everything alright (n/n)? You seem a little stiff." Gladio remarks, glancing at me worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I'm just a little sore from our last battle." I say, not being able to stop my blush.

"Ok, do you need to take the day off?"

"No no, I'm fine. Thanks though." I say, blushing a darker shade of red.

"Alright, if you say so." He responds and starts reading his book.

I hide my face with my (h/c) hair so no one can see the blush.

Glad that's over.

"Ah, we're here." Remarks Ignis happily.

"Where are we?" Noctis asks, just waking up from a nap.

"We're at a hotel to rest for the night before we head to Galdin." Prompto responds, happiness evident in his voice. More than likely because we aren't camping.

"We shall continue our trip in the morning. Driving when there's daemons is not the best idea." Ignis states, fixing his glasses.
