Growing love // Promptis (Noctis x Prompto) // FFXV

[8]

We are starting Prompto's little backstory about the teachers hoh hoh hoh

Previously : He walked out, knowing that he won this battle. The others just stared at each other in fear, giving me the opportunity to quickly finish dressing up and get out of here. Plus, I needed to thank him.

I glanced around the halls, my sight coming across our very own gym teacher, checking over students. Maybe he knew where the prince was. I made up my mind to go and ask him, doing those very steps after making sure that no one who was able to kill me saw me searching for him. The teacher then looked at me strangely. "His highness ? He's right here." As he said those words, my confusion grew, looking around to end up not seeing him at all. When he noticed my struggle, he moved aside, revealing the very person I was searching for. Oops... I mean, don't blame me. His muscles were covering his majesty's silhouette. Noctis was talking to some curious girls, asking him multiple questions like usual. I quickly gave him an apology followed by a thanks and walked over to Noct in quite a hurry. Apparently easy to spot, the prince noticed me coming over at the corner of his eyes, giving him a reason to get away from these girls. Now closer to me, he tried saying something but not giving him any time, I dragged him away to a more private place by the hand which I didn't noticed at first. When I judged that the distance between listening ears and us was appropriate, I stopped in my tracks and quickly removed my sweating hand from his as if it never happened. "Okay... What's wrong ?" The confused raven head asked to me as I took a deep breath, trying to recompose myself. I hope that he didn't took this as a kidnapping or anything of sort. Finally ready to say a word, I bowed to him quite deeply which seemed to have surprised him by the look on his face.

"Thank you a lot for what you did in the changing room. I'll be in your debt for the rest of my life. I really don't know what I would've done without someone like you Prince N-Noctis." Did I just stuttered !? Why am I such a nervous wreck !? I confessed very shyly as I felt a blush creeping on my cheeks. He nodded and asked me to straighten myself from the bow which I did. He had a small smile on his face. "Don't worry, you're my friend and just seeing such a scene happening in front of me really made me angry. Also, I want you to stop saying prince and all of that. Everywhere I go, I get called stuff like that and it's so annoying. It's nice getting called by my name from times to times." It was now my turn to have a grin plastered on my face, one that I couldn't really control. I've just realised how much closer we were compared to what I thought and it brought me much joy. I was about to thanks him again but no words came out as my eyes fell on Johan who was glaring at us, me in particular from the distance. He didn't seemed happy about both of us being together. Maybe I shouldn't... Noctis then brought me back to reality, making me spill what was on my mind but still looking at my bully. "Thanks a lot prince but maybe it is not a great idea." My smile faded, making him follow my gaze and understood my dilemma. I was about to leave and join the group but he tried to make me stop with word, wearing a worried expression. I think I know what's coming. "You know... You should really try to tell the teachers if you want my opinion. Maybe they could help you in some way." Just like a reflex, I shook my head in disagreement. I just wanted leave him hanging but it seemed rude so I restrained myself from doing it.

"No they don't. I've tried before and trust me, no one has any intention to help me, especially when Johan is a reputed rich student. Thank you for trying but I'll be going now." He nodded, looking a little sad as I finally left him, going to wait for the bell next to the teacher. Even if I felt a little guilty for running away, I couldn't help but to think about other things. My breaths gradually augmented as my mind wandered off, bringing me to unwanted memories that I tried to bury.

1 year ago

I just layed there in the dirty ground of our soccer field, covered in several bruises thanks to the few guys in the soccer team who decided to turn me into their punching bag at lunch time. Their punches were not strong but with how many times they've hit me, it started to hurt and now, I felt numb everywhere, not feeling a single limb of mine. It hurted from every part of my body and I just couldn't move anymore. It was the first time I've ever been beated up that bad despite having a no-violence rule in this ELEMENTARY school which is pretty surprising. Shaking from everywhere, especially in my arms, I tried to at least sit up from this beated grass covered ground but it was no use. I just decided to give up and stayed on the grass, looking at the clear sky right under my nose and waiting for me to recover a little bit. Today was such a beautiful day and it just had to get ruined. Gazing at the clouds slowly making their way to the south, I asked myself what did I do to deserve such a fate as heavy breaths came out from my lungs. Nothing if I recalled so what was wrong with me ? As I was busy looking up to the blue sky, I heard the last bell ringing to announce the start of our classes. I really wanted to run inside but since I had no energy whatsoever to do so, I stayed here. Maybe I could manage to catch up that class later on. A few minutes passed but my limbs still had no intention to help me up. This is going to be long day.

As every second passed, I felt myself become more and more nervous. I've never skipped or missed a single class and still ended up in the average grades so imagine now that I am missing a class. I was already shaking from my bruised body but I was now shaking even more thinking about the consequences that would be brought to me because of that. I hope that it won't be too bad.

Sorry for being late ! I've totally forgotten about this XD Please forgive me !
