“Puttin’ my defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack

Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough”

_{Noctis was writing more lyrics in the study of his library, the thoughts of his ex butler free-wheeling around his head. He couldn’t erase him from memory. It was wrong what happened. He knew he should’ve stopped it sooner. He allowed someone to get to him, to know him. That there was his mistake.}

_{Would he ever feel that way about anyone again?}

_{It was just a regular day like always, Axel going around and doing recon on new worlds. He had to visit a new world today and eventually came upon a mansion, if that was even the right word. As the redhead explored, he had a song stuck in his head and did his best to sing what lyrics he remembered.}

“I can’t remember anythin’
can’t tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stoppin’ me!

Now that the war is through with me
I’m wakin’ up, I cannot see
That there is not much left in me.
Nothing is real but pain now.

Hold my breath as I wish for death.
Oh please god, wake me!”

_{Just as Axel finished the last line, he opened two doors and the words echoed throughout the hall. He realized that he was disturbing someone from their work. But he didn’t say anything.}

_{Noctis’ head immediately shot up, hearing the stranger sing. As he lifted his head he soon realised where the voice came from. A red haired male, who was wandering through his castle. He was fascinated by the lyrics he heard, but he had to flip his defence switch on as he spoke}

_{“Who are you? and what’re you doing in my castle…” he spoke with a curious edge to his voice, not so much an attack or a threaten more of a wonder.}
