 Fandom: Final Fantasy XV
Character: Noctis Lucis Caelum, Prompto Argentum, Ignis Scientia, Gladiolus Amicitia, a few OCs
Pairing: Pre-Promtis
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Canon typical violence
Word Count: 3428
Notes: This is a commission for a friend of mine, based on an AU we used to roleplay in, in which Prompto is the prince of Niflheim and he and Noct (and their retinues) are basically put on house arrest together as a way to maintain the stalemate. And then shit goes sideways.
Frank is an MT. He's also Prompto's bodyguard.

I was basically given free-reign, other than the specification that I had to include Frank and while it shouldn't be full on Promtis there should be an inkling of feeeeeeelings there. I'd say I did okay!

The rock of the haven was firm, and it was very apparent that they were sitting on rock. They hardly even had anything to soften it. They had raided the safe house for most of the blankets and pillows before leaving, but it hadn’t been particularly well equipped for outings into nature. They didn’t even have a car. Gee, it was almost like none of them were supposed to leave.

Gladio and Ignis were doing their best to make the haven habitable for the night and figure out what sort of food they were supposed to put on the metaphorical table, as Frank patrolled just a few yards off. None of them really seemed to expect either prince to do anything to help at that moment. Which was good, on one hand, since Prompto had never had to set up camp a day in his life. But on the other hand, it left them with no real choice but to talk to each other.

In theory.

It wasn’t going so well.

Notes:  …So I wrote a sequel to If the Ring Fits. It took… a while. And it’s over twice as long. I got a little carried away. But I’m actually pretty proud of it.
Once again, basically every AU presented has had way too much thought put into it and some of them might be expanded upon later.
Some of the AUs here also showed up in ItRF, but I’m not gonna explain that here. Either you figure that out or come ask and I can explain things in way too much detail.

previouslyIf the Ring Fits

 

Noctis stared at the ceiling of the hotel room, the room dark enough that he couldn’t make out any of the details. To his left, Ignis was all but wrapped around him, their legs tangled, one of Ignis’s hands fisted loosely in the fabric of Noctis’s shirt. To his right, Prompto curled up against his side, one arm tossed over both him and Ignis, as if to hold them close and keep them safe at the same time, the fingers of his other hand threaded through Noctis’s hair. Gladio slept on the other side of the bed, his back to the three of them.

Noctis couldn’t sleep. It was such a strange thought. Part of him wanted to get up—to try to walk off the excess energy buzzing through his veins—but another part of him was wary to move. Ignis had never been a heavy sleeper and Prompto slept so much lighter than he used to, always waking up with a start like he expected to be somewhere else. 

So Noctis stared at the ceiling for another half hour, trying to will himself to fall asleep, until boredom finally won out and he began the careful process of extricating himself from the tangle of arms and legs. 

Ignis made an agitated noise and his hand tightened against Noctis’s chest. He buried his face further against Noctis’s shoulder, only to jerk awake with a pained hiss. 

“Noct?” he murmured, voice rough with sleep. “What’s wrong?"

CHAPTER FIVE: The Wind Is On the Rise

During an average day, Prompto’s job brought him in contact with numerous other staff members. Whether it was for work, as was the case with guards and other aids and assistants, or simply saying hello to the cleaning and cooking staff in passing. None of that was out of the ordinary.

What was out of the ordinary was when other staff members actively sought him out.

Prompto had paused in the hall, turning scarlet up to his hairline as a guard wondered if he was old enough for any mischief before sighing lamentably when Prompto pointed out that he was only seventeen. As Prompto turned to go, though, he ground to a halt again when he nearly walked right into Amity. She was one of Luna’s ladies maids, and rarely seen on her own. She was fretful and fidgeting, and she already had a grip on Prompto’s wrist.

“Mr. Argentum—one of His Majesty’s couriers. A few of us noticed we didn’t recognize him, but we lost track of him and none of us are allowed in His Majesty’s office.”

CHAPTER FOUR: Wait a second let me catch my breath

“Assistant to the king,” Prompto repeated, stuck somewhere between dubious and wildly incredulous.

“Yes,” Luna confirmed, nodding once, her hands linked together behind her back. In the kitchen, Ravus had tea with Prompto’s parents as he explained much the same thing to them. “He has more duties now than he’s ever had before, and he had no time to prepare for them. On top of that, many of the personal staff he would have inherited from our mother did not survive the attack.” Her expression dimmed slightly, before she cleared her throat and carried on. “He needs someone who can make it so he doesn’t need to worry about the minutiae. You’ll have your own room at the palace as well as the attention of my old tutors.”

"But what if I’m bad at it?” Prompto asked, tone approaching something plaintive. “I’ve never done anything like this before!”

Finally, Luna smiled gently. “Then your job will be to keep me company. I’m sure we can think of an official title. The Oracle’s Confidante, perhaps?”

“I don’t understand why, though?” Prompto replied, slightly distraught at the special treatment.

Luna’s hands settled on his shoulders. “Because making sure you’re safe is important.”

Prompto’s mouth opened, but no words came out, and he closed his mouth once again with a click. He blinked at her dumbly, and she covered her mouth with one hand to ineffectually hide a laugh.

“Will you try, at least?” she asked quietly.

Slowly, Prompto nodded. “Okay,” he agreed faintly.

His parents, once it was explained that Prompto would be safe from the public in the palace, were quick to agree as well.

CHAPTER THREE: Something has changed within me

Prompto woke up to the sound of the emergency bells ringing. He hurled himself out of bed, still half-asleep and stumbling into jeans and sneakers and a sweatshirt with the lights off and his eyes half-closed before he stumbled into his parents’ room. His cell phone rang and he yanked it from his pocket, answering it with a muddled, “H'lo?”

“Oh, thank gods,” his dad sighed on the other line. “You and your mom are alright?”
