Choco Café: 12:00 PM

Prompto arrived, his face all happy and smiley. Daisy liked it on one side, but on the downside hated it too, knowing she wasn't the cause of his happy mood. Despite her poisoness jealousy, Daisy tried to hide it and acted like she didn't notice.

"Ready to take over from me?" Prompto didn't answer, being with his head in the clouds. Daisy groaned. "Hey!" The blonde boy woke from his thoughts, slightly gasping. "O-Oh! Daisy! Yeah sure!" he quickly said. His co-worker sighed again and slightly shook her head. "You're really something else, Argentum." "Deal with it", he barked at her, slightly playfully and went to his post.

"Had many costumers this morning?" Daisy shook her head. "I might've just taken a day off", she said whining. Prompto chuckled. "Maybe this noon will be different. Students are on break." Daisy just nodded.

Cindy crossed his mind again. He took every order, hoping she might enter anytime soon. Alas, without any success. Prompto waited and waited, but Cindy didn't come.

The blonde boy sighed, as the work day came to an end soon. "What's taking her so long...She...HAS to come here...She has to..." Daisy's jealousy turned into compassion. Seeing Prompto so devastated, she placed her hand on his shoulder. "Take a break. You look bushed." Prompto quickly shook his head. "N-No, I can't--" "Prompto...She's just a costumer...Sometimes they return, sometimes they don't...Let it go, man..." With that, Daisy started to clean up the café, preparing it for closure.

Streets of Lucis: 08:30 PM

On his way home, Prompto suddenly heard a group of loud men in an alley. They sounded very drunk. Prompto didn't like it. It gave him the chills. Suddenly he heard a familiar, scared voice. His eyes widened. "No..."

Quickly, Prompto ran into the alley and saw the men. One of them was gripping Cindy tightly, while the other two tried to undress her.

"C'mon, baby. Don't be difficult now. Let yourself go a little. Let's have fun", one of them said. The other one whistled. "Dude, she's smokin' hawt!" Cindy screamed and shouted. "Let me go, you pervs!" She managed to kick one of her assaulters in the crotch. The guy didn't like it and hit her in the face. "You bitch!"

Finally, they managed to undress the poor girl. The 'leader' quickly started to unzip his pants and grabbed Cindy. She panicked and shouted. "No! No! NO!"

"HEY!!" All men and Cindy turned their face towards the sudden angry voice. Cindy's face lightened up as she saw Prompto standing there. His eyes shot fire. His hands were trembling in pure anger. "Let her go...Now..." His voice sounded stern and cold. The men just laughed at him.

"Oh no, a fagg with blue eyes!" one of them said sarcastically. "Be careful. Maybe he'll spray our eyes with hair products", the other one joined his comrade. The bunch laughed and tried to carry on their deeds, when Prompto suddenly rushed towards them and kicked one of the guys in the face, making him lose balance.

Soon, the other thugs let go of their victim and threw themselves onto Prompto. The blonde boy didn't give up and fought for the beautiful girl who was now quickly trying to put her clothes back on.

Prompto eventually managed to knock out most of the men, but didn't know the leader was approaching him with a knife. "No!" Quickly, Cindy grabbed the attacker's wrist and tried to hold back the knife. It didn't take long before the blade turned towards the man. Now he and Cindy were wrestling, trying to get the blade away from one of them.

"Cindy!" Without thinking, the girl turned her head to Prompto, making the guy unable to focus and the blade strucking his aorta. The attacker's eyes widened as he was choking on his own blood.

Cindy gasped, seeing she was the one that shoved the knife in the man's throat. With one last helpless look, the pervert fell down to his death.

Cindy slowly placed her hand on her mouth, completely in shock. She started sobbing. Prompto slowly approached her. "Cindy...Cindy, it's okay..." The girl quickly shook her head and started crying. "It is, Cindy...It was self defense...That man...He was the one at fault...He...He tried to hurt you...It's okay. You only protected yourself..."

Hearing the poor girl sob, it broke Prompto's heart. He wanted to do everything to comfort her.

Cindy's eyes widened, feeling a sudden warmth around her, acompanied by gentle strokes on her back and the sweet smell of coffee and chocolate pleasing her nose. "So...warm..."
