You stood in front of the closet, holding up a pair of shirt. "I wore this the other day...Well it's not like Noctis remembers anyway."

Dressing into the shirt and a pair of jeans, you wrapped a (F/C) flannel around your waist before heading out of the house. Equipped with black sneakers and your (H/L) hair covering your back. "Better hurry or I will be late!"

Reaching the destination at exact timing, you looked for the raven haired. "That's weird...He usually arrives before me. Maybe he's still sleeping?"

Shrugging slightly, you leaned against the nearest pillar, waiting for the usual person. Consuming your time as you stared at the different people that walked by and entertaining yourself with daydreams. Occasionally you would check the time or fiddle with the phone in hand.

After an hour and a half, you were about to give the Prince a call but notice a person running towards your direction. He was dressed in the Royal Guard attire, with slight perspiration gathering on his forehead. "Prompto?"

"Sorry (Y/N). Due to certain incidents, Noct can't made it," he attempted a cough to cover his laughter.

Disappointment was present on your face, causing Prompto to panic slightly. "But, trust me when I say he was throwing a fit. He was about to break through Gladio's defence just to meet you. He changed the date to later this week, on a Friday. Is that ok with you?"

You pondered slightly, before nodding. "Sure. Same place and time?"

The blond nodded and waved goodbye before running off. You walked to the direction of your home, wondering the reason behind Noctis's absence. The Friday he mentioned was only a day away, leaving you with silent worry,

Friday arrived, the same scenario playing out in front of the closet. The only difference being that your flannel was replaced with a jacket. In the same area, you silently waited for the Prince. After an hour passed, you noticed the familiar blond rushing towards you.

He opened his mouth to say the words prepared, but was cut off by your voice. "Ok. Enough with that. What happened to Noctis? If he can't make it he would tell me over text, mail or call. Not like this. Tell me what's up Prompto."

The blonde laughed awkwardly, ultimately sighing as your expression remained fierce. "Follow me back to the castle."

You walked beside him, thinking about the situations Noctis could be in. During the trip, there was no words exchanged, probably due to the situation Noctis resided in. Reaching his room, you opened the door, only to gasp.

Noctis laid on his bed, sleeping lightly as you made your way over to him. A gel sheet was placed on his forehead - an untouched soup on his bedside table. He stirred lightly, as if feeling your presence, "(Y/N)?"

His voice was slightly lower, signifying his sore throat, You touched his forehead lightly, noticing the once cool gel sheet to be warm. "Am I dreaming?"

Laughing lightly at his comment, you sat on the bed beside him. "I'm real."

Reaching for the bowl of soup, you motioned for Noctis to sit up. Prompto took a clue, leaving the room as fast as he could. You dipped the spoon in the slightly cold soup and positioned it in front of Noctis's mouth. Noticing that he hesitated, you presented a pouty face. "You don't want the soup I'm feeding you?"

He scrunched his face, a blush forming on his cheeks as he drank the soup. The action as if denying your sentence. After finishing the soup, you placed it back on the bedside table and slowly whispered the words, loud enough for only him to hear. "If you are sick, get some rest. There's no need for you to keep extending the date. Just tell me and I will understand."

A smile instantly forming on his cheeks as he heard the words. You bend down slightly, providing a chaste kiss to his forehead. Straight after that, you hit his arm. "For not telling me that you were sick. I was really worried you know!"

"Sorry, Princess." he smirked, a chuckle accompanying that expression.

Laughing lightly, you sat down and simply stared at his figure. Noctis fingers reached for the hair that draped over your shoulders and ran his fingers through it. The both of you smiling at each other, a slight blush coating your cheeks.

"Are the lovebirds still in there?" Gladiolus asked, a visible sigh produced.

Prompto nodded, "Noct must probably be thinking right now, that he should get sick more often."

The three of them nodded in agreement. In the room, Noctis let out a sneeze, feeling goosebumps on his arms. "Someone must be talking about me..."
