Prompto sat slumped in his chair like a child who had been scolded by his mother. You hadn't spoken a single word since he and Charlie scrambled out of the Regalia in record time. Charlie had retreated to stand behind Gladio as he also sat at the dining table. The group had gone into Dave and Ezma's cottage for another private discussion, whereas no one dared to speak.
"I leave you guys for a couple of hours and you let Charlie pounce on Prom again?" Prompto's jaw dropped wide open in shock. He, like the rest, was under the impression that you were genuinely upset at the pair.
"At least that asshole didn't see Prompto," Charlie muttered.
"That is true," You sighed heavily. "However, it seems you were right Char,"
"Yeah. Sol wasn't after you this time coming. His agenda was to really scope out our royal guests," Charlie groaned, draping her arms around Gladio's neck, planting her forehead to rest atop Gladio's head.
"Why would he need to scope us out?" Noctis asked curiously.
"Sol likes gathering information himself sometimes," You explained, pinching the bridge of your nose in frustration and tapping your foot lightly.
"That and to get his sadistic mojo with (Your Name) as his muse," Charlie smirked, receiving a cold glare from you.
"Also," Noctis begun, swiveling himself on the chair to look at Gladio and Charlie, who remained in their current affectionate position. "When the hell did this happen?" He asked, gesturing a hand between his shield and the glaive.
"Since the beginnings of my over-the-top attraction to blondie over there?" Charlie replied grinning, lifting her head from Gladio's as the shield chuckled.
"Quite entertaining," Gladio teased, receiving a light smack from a huffing Charlie.
"How in the world did you guys keep this a secret while your little act was going on?" Noctis continued, astounded by the development between the two.
"It's not hard. Especially when you kids are playing Kings Knight," Charlie answered suggestively with a smirk.
"Don't tell me you knew about this (Your Name)?" Noctis had now turned to you, hoping he wasn't the only one in the dark about them.
"I knew," You replied, "Hence the reason I got really upset at Charlie when she had the audacity to manipulate Prom to kiss her,"
"You knew that was... fake?" Prompto yelped.
"Of course Prom..." You replied. "Not to say you you can't with other women, but am I right in assuming I'm the only girl you've kissed?" Prompto gulped at your confident grin, nodding a few times.
"You still warped over to stop us though," Charlie pointed out with a click of her tongue. "I wouldn't go as far as you knowing it was all an act!"
"Nope. I knew,"
"I call bullshit!"
"Nope. I knew!" You repeated, placing your hands on your hips.
"How in the world would you have known? Those bloody tears were real!"
"Of course they were real. But they weren't because of the would-be-fake kiss," You explained, quite confident in your reasoning. "Being the loyal chocobo that he is, you told him to just imagine a moment he shared with me didn't you?" Damn...
"Yeah. I did," Charlie admitted, sticking out her tongue. "Wait... you knew he was reenacting a moment shared with you?"
"Yup," You replied without a shred of doubt in your voice.
