Yeah, so, this will take place in the alternate ending. My last Noctis story was a) shitty and b) sad


You will always remember the first time you met Noctis. He had been such a shy thing back then, back when he had visited Tenebrae. You were from a lesser known branch of the Nox Fleuret family, being cousins with Ravus and Lunafreya. But you were the last of the branch; your parents had died years earlier, along with your older brother, Sole, and sister, Sera. Sometimes, you felt so undeniably alone, only for Luna and Ravus to find you and cheer you up.

Your first encounter with the prince of Lucis was interesting, at least to the adults around you both. Neither had known of the other's existence until you had been looking for Luna.

*

"Luna! Luna!" you called, tears threatening to spill. You and your cousin always hung out with one another at this time, but for the past few weeks, she had been avoiding you. And you were afraid -- afraid that you were losing her the same way you had lost your older siblings. Out of sheer desperation, you had run into the greenhouse, crying, "Luna!"

You had found your cousin, along with an unfamiliar face. It was a boy, around your age, and he was sitting in a wheelchair with a book perched on his knees. When you had cried out, both he and Luna had turned to you.
"(Y/n), are you alright?" Luna asked, standing from where she sat next to the boy. Unbidden, your tears started falling.

"Is this why you've been avoiding me, Luna?" you asked, voice breaking. "Because you have a new friend? Do you not need me anymore...?"

"(Y/n), that's not--" But she didn't get to finish because you bolted, running through the halls of Fenestella Manor. But you didn't see the man standing in front of you right outside the greenhouse, and ran straight into his legs.

"(Y/n), are you alright, dear?" Aunt Sylva said, coming to kneel at your side. You curled up in a ball, hugging your knees to your chest as the tears fell faster.

"Does Luna not need me anymore, Aunt Sylva? Is that why she's been avoiding me? Do I serve no purpose here any longer?" At your rambling, your aunt hugging you to her, shushing you and rubbing your back.

"I can assure you that is not the case, my dear," Sylva cooed, brushing strands of your hair from your face. "Luna will always need you."

"But--"

"I didn't realize there was another child in the Manor, Queen Sylva," the man standing next to your aunt said, making you freeze. You slowly looked up to him, feeling intimidated by the amount of black he wore. Yet, he looked kind -- and kind of like the kid Luna was currently with.

"Yes, she is my niece, King Regis," Sylva offered, pulling you to your feet. "(Y/n), I would like you to meet King Regis Lucis Caelum, King of Lucis. Regis, this is my niece and Luna's future advisor, (Y/n) Nox Fleuret."

You were overcome by a sense of shyness that rarely showed itself as you hid behind your aunt, causing both her and the king to laugh.

"Dad!" a boy's voice made you look to your right and see both Luna and the boy approached the three of you. Taking a closer look at the man the boy had called 'dad', you realized that their resemblance now made perfect sense.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry," was the first thing Luna uttered, and you were quick to hug her, almost sending the taller girl to the ground. Luna's face was split with a sweet smile, and you glared at the boy.

It wasn't until a month later that anyone had the decency to introduce you to the prince of Lucis, Noctis Lucis Caelum.
