I'll Always Find You Again (Noctis x Prompto)

Birthday Party (Part 1)

The mansion was filled with laughter and chatter from both the old and the young. Well-Decorated rooms, as well as beautiful flower arrangement, decorated the whole mansion. The Mansion courtyard was a bouncy castle, a snack buffets, a gorgeous fountain, and a cake two feet tall. Everyone was busy preparing dishes to bring into the dining hall for the guests. There were dishes where the guests would take as much as they want.

Everything was hustling and bustling, a very festive atmosphere. Everyone was enjoying their time, with food in their hands and companies to talk to. Everything was to celebrate the most important day, which is Noctis's Birthday. The birthday boy was in the middle of the living room. Sitting on a throne with people coming up to him to greet him and give him their presents. Boxes began to pile around him. There was large boxes as well as small boxes.

Inside them were toys, books, and other cool stuff that any child would want yet from Noctis expression he wasn't a bit amazed by them. He was wearing his usual nonchalant expression not that it bothers the festive mood which continued to rage on. The sound of music could be heard from the whole mansion. It was a soft tune of classical music. He wouldn't mind hearing to it rather than to hear flatters from people he doesn't know.

"Happy Birthday, Noctis. I hope you will enjoy your presents along with the others"

"Yes thank you"

"Happy Birthday, Noctis. You looked handsome as always"

The girl blushing while giving him his present.

"Thank you..."

Noctis tried to smile but give up halfway. The girl didn't mind she squealed as she went back to her friends. So troublesome...

"Noctis, congratulation for your Birthday. Here for you"

"Yeah, thanks"

His classmates were handing their gifts to him one by one. It was such a long line that he wanted to stop. After a few more of his classmates, a familiar face appeared. It was his classmates that asked Prompto to come to them, they were looking all nervous.

"H-here your present, Happy Birthday, Noctis"

Noctis took their present and nonchalantly.

"Yeah, thanks"

Seeing that Noctis was acting normal they let out a sigh of relief. But they were still nervous around him, not that it matters to him so he just shrugged them off. It took a while until everyone gave their presents to him. Now that the gift giving section had finished. Ignis told him to come to his father to meet his friends. Noctis whined.

"Why do I have to...? It's not like they are my acquaintances"

"Still they are your father acquaintances and as his son, you have to show them your respect and appreciation"

Ignis knew that none of these people actually cared for him, they were just giving face but even so, this is how the society works so he had to do it. He sympathized with little Noctis for living in such a society but this is also good for him to learn. A soft smile appeared on his face as he kneeled beside little Noctis.

"Once you are done with greeting your father friends you can be with Prompto"

"Prompto...?"

He almost forgot about his blonde best friend which he hadn't seen anywhere.

"Where is he? Why hasn't he come?"

Now a little bit worried, usually Prompto would storm out when he came to Noctis's home.

"Your father knew that you would rather spend time with him, that's why he asked them to come a little later. So once you are done you can enjoy your time with your friend"
