Precious Memories (FFXV Ravus Nox FleuretxOC fanfiction)

Her Fears Lifted

That night I dreamt of Ravus holding my hands at a hill. Looking over two children playfully running around a flower field. A little girl and boy, the two of them kind of resemble Ravus. I heard one of the children calling out to me and Ravus.

"Mama, Papa come here!" the little girl waved at us.

"Alright, wait for your mother and I over there," Ravus replied leading me towards them

Suddenly, the sky turned dark leaving me alone in the field. I got scared as Ravus and the two children disappeared before me. Appearing in front of me is a distorted figure, covered in scars and dark hollow eyes. I took a step forward to take a closer look. T-the figure...It...it....it's me. The figure zoomed right in front of my eyes, grabbing my wrists, tightening her grip. I struggled to free my wrist, my heartbeat uncontrollably increased, horrifying aura overcame my body.

"You brought this upon yourself. It's all because of your beloved king I DIED!"The figure screamed at me

"N-no that's not true! I trust him completely, he is the one for me!" I whined, denying the figure's statement

The figure continued to choke me, killing me slowly. I gagged, tears streaming down my face as I tried to grasp some air. I can't fight back because my hands are nothing to her. I begged for her to let go, but she didn't listen.

I immediately woke up, cold sweat covered my face in fear. I quickly gasped for air, gripping around Ravus' body, trembling. Because of that, Ravus became alerted and cuddled me. I sobbed in his arms, once again recalling my nightmare.

"What's the matter, my love? You are trembling more than usual. Is there something that upsets you?" Ravus asked, flustered at my current state.

I told him about my nightmare, a distorted and scarred version of me appearing in my dream. Ravus stroked my hair, listening while he tried to soothe me.

"S-she tried to end me by choking me to death. I was so scared, I don't know what to do" I whimpered, still trembling.

Ravus kissed the top of my head, forehead, down to my eyes and cheeks. His lips leaped here and there, leaving feather-light kisses all over my face. He then resumed wiping my tears,  and caressed my cheek.

"I'm here now. You don't have to be scared anymore. It's alright" Ravus hushed me, still brushing my hair.

Leaving a loving kiss on my forehead. My breathing has returned back to normal. Ravus' worried face softened up as he sees me calmed down

"I-I'm fine now. It's just that nightmare felt so real, it sent me shaking down my spine" I said, while I was still sniffing from crying

Ravus just stays silent, showing his caring side through actions. After a few moments, I went back to sleep, as did Ravus. I don't want to lose him, Luna, brother, father, and everyone else that I cherish. I would risk my life to save theirs because they have done so much for me. No matter what happens.

Hammond POV

I entered my father's office, the smell of old wood filled the air. As soon as I walked through the door, I saw father sitting on his desk, he seemed exhausted.

"Father, are you pulling an all-nighter again?" I walked towards him looking worried

"Apparently, the Lucians are still keeping in date with me. Since I am included on their field research team for King Regis himself. We are still trying to find the remaining locations of their ancestors' royal arsenal." he rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Poor father, after all the pressure from the Imperial Army, he still has to continue doing his work. I felt guilty, for I know what is coming next. But then I remembered one request, Ravus' words echoed my mind
