“You’re right” he tried to pace his breathing back to normal. Thankfully he got changed with a small amount of time to spare, and didn’t take much thought before he decided to step onto the balcony to smoke. His hands were shaking. Looking at the castle made him feel sick.

twenty one and king.. maybe there should be a TV show for that. His thoughts trying to distract him from the bigger picture. this entire kingdom was going to be his in a very short amount of time.

Walking outside after he had gotten dressed into a smart suit, he took his free hand and wrapped an arm around his waist. “Noctis…” He looked to him, leaning on him. “What are we going to do?” He was afraid himself. Now he was King, was it really acceptable that him and the King were in a relationship.

“Should we really be together, Noct?”

He felt the warmth of his hands but instantly worried at his words.

“W-what are you saying? .. D-do you not want to be with me?” He felt himself shake, his ears burn, a loud ringing. He hoped Prompto was just saying the wrong words, they just made love and the prince was worried that that was all he wanted, and now wanted to run.

“Did you just want to sleep with me?” He turned slowly to the blonde removing his hands from his waist,

“I’m going to be no different now that I’m going to be king.” they approached the chamber of where he would be crowned.

“Y-you know what, save it!” he snapped at Prompto. “We’ll talk after, that is if you haven’t found a new prince in that time” He didn’t mean to snap at his partner, nor did he want things between them to be over. The panic and mad rush of being king affected him, he opened the door, hiding any pain he felt and boldly walked towards the throne in front of the crowd as they applauded.
