Notes
     GUESS WHO'S BACK?
     I-I just came back from chapter 2 of Crazy in Love...so...
     GO READ IT!
     Also, I haven't seen many High School AU's in FFXV, so I've decided
     to make one!
     This story contains pedophilia, sex (especially male x male) and
     drinking. If you're not into that, I recommend not reading this at
     all...it's in the tags anyway. If you're into that (you've clicked
     the title, for god's sake), then I hope you guys like this story! .3.
     *Update* Okay, this story is killing me. It's so...RUSHYYYYYY,
     UGHHHHHH
See the end of the work for more notes
***** Chapter One: Homework Dismissal *****
 
 
Noctis sighed. Considering he was inside a car, nothing interesting happened.
The driver just drove in a slow, and soft pace. Noctis hated it. He wasn't a
baby anymore. He could take a hit on the head and not cry. The raven,
irritated, watched out the window, observing the scenery. It wasn't too
glorious. Buildings, cars, traffic-almost everywhere! The prince easily got
bored, and wanted something new. Much more challenging. 
 
Though, he couldn't really do that. He was considered as needing protection,
and a shield of some sort. Getting through crowds of people, blocking away
cameras. Noctis could do that. He had a pair of hands, right? Noctis felt the
motion of the car stopping, finally knowing his arrival. The prince was about
to grab the handle, but it was opened by someone else. 
 
"Thanks..." Noctis mumbled.
 
"You're welcome, your Highness." The driver bowed.
 
The prince looked over his shoulder, finding his bag. It was missing. He looked
back at the driver, who was currently holding his backpack. Noctis had no
expression on his face. He simply clicked his tongue, forcefully grabbing the
backpack's strap. He slung it over his shoulder, getting out of the car seat.
The raven looked in front of him. Students, gasping, whispering, and taking
pictures, but were scolded by their friends.
 
The car behind Noctis drove over. He knew these people. To the right, there was
Max, somewhere in front of him there was Alex, and to the left, there was
Veronica. Noctis met them, probably at lunch, at one of his classes, or
probably had a project with them. The prince didn't really put much care into
it. Despite knowing these students, he wouldn't be friends with them. Noctis
would usually be by himself during lunch, or lean against a wall, ignoring
everything in sight.
 
The prince rolled his eyes. His footsteps walked for the entrance door. He
heard more whispering, and sounds of squealing. Their voices were so annoying.
He obviously witnessed them almost every single day.
 
"I-Is that the prince!?"
 
"Woah...he looks so handsome!"
 
"I know, right? Who wouldn't swoon for him!?"
 
"I bet all the female teachers are just dying over him!"
 
"Duh! I'm even swooning..."
 
Their whispers continued. Some almost threatened to come close to the prince. A
girl with short brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin walked over to Noctis.
 
"Hey, Noct!" She said, with a bright smile, along with a wave of her left hand.
Students around her, mostly her friends, were yelling to get back, or to
respect the prince's privacy, though, the female ignored them. She respected
Noctis like he was a close friend, and not an expensive museum item.
 
Noctis looked at the female. His face was emotionless, looking up and down at
her figure.
 
"Iris..." He managed to tug a soft smile on his lips.
 
"Yep! That's me." Iris said with a laugh.
 
"How's your brother doing?" Noctis turned his body to the left, facing the
brunette.
 
"Y'know, protective as ever. He's always out there..." Iris rolled her eyes,
putting her hands behind her back. She playfully leaned back and forth.
 
"If he saw me talking to you privately, he'd kick my ass." The raven sneered a
little, almost shuddering from the thought of it.
 
"He's not that rude...I think so." Iris let out a giggle.
 
Noctis snorted. "That's because you're his sister."
 
"You seem happy." Iris quickly changed the topic. She hid it up, using a smile
with her lips. She pranced around the raven, observing his looks.
 
"I think Prompto's taller than you..." She said, with an almost grin plastered
onto her face.
 
"What? Him? He just went to New York for a month. Did he somewhat get a growth
spurt?" Noctis snorted, disbelieving it all.
 
"I'm not joking," He giggled. "it's all true."
 
"...By how much?" The prince gave in, finally believing it. He crossed his
arms, his brows raised up, eagerly, and also quite interested.
 
"Ehh, just an inch taller. Prompto sent a pic of himself to me. I heard he's
coming back to school today. Also, he's even got a six pack." She let out a
hyena laugh, bringing out her device. Noctis looked at the photo, seeing the
freckled blond, but much more muscular and taller. Looking down, he truly had a
six pack. A little faint, but enough to see. Noctis' cheeks went into a bright
pink colour.
 
"Who's the shortcake now?" Iris looked at Noct, seeing his blush. The prince
made it seem that he was embarrassed that the used-to-be-shorty  just grew up
an inch taller. Though, the female brunette knew why he was blushing in the
first place.
 
"I guess it's me..." Noctis said with a small scowl. The two heard the bell
ring. Students scrambled their way inside the school, hurrying to their
classes.
 
"Welp," Iris put her phone away. "we've both got class. That was a lot of fun.
Thanks Noct. See you soon!" She said, walking away. Looking back, she waved her
hand in the air.
 
Noctis nodded his head.
 
He went to his locker, grabbing his books. He shut his locker door, but then
felt a a ticklish grip on his waist. Unexpected, his attacker decided to tickle
him.
 
"Aahaha-S...Stop! Pleas-I-I can't- stop!" Noctis laughed. His face went red,
and his body shivered. The hands went up into his shirt, travelling up to his
torso. The prince let out a laughter, and a moan. The prince didn't even notice
he did so. His arms clutched his books tightly, his eyes littered with salty
tears, resisting to fall. His body leaned at his locker, almost being pinned to
it.
 
"S-Stop it, plea-please..." Noctis begged. His forehead leaned against his
locker door, panting heavily when the hands finally let him go. But instead of
tickling, they instead laid on his waist, gripping them almost possessively. 
 
Noctis continued to pant, his lips quivering. His body was exhausted, like he
just ran a marathon. His body twitched like he just had some hardcore, 8 hour
sex. The prince finally turned his head to his right, over his shoulder, facing
his attacker.
 
"Noct." Prompto said with a smile.
 
"P-Prompto? Y...You were..." Noctis let out a huff, trying his best to gain
some air inside his lungs.
 
"Tickling you? Hmm...maybe..." The blond let out a grin.
 
"Fwuah-fwahk off..." The prince said, slurring his words.
 
Prompto laughed and let out a snort. "Awww, Noct~" 
 
"..." Noctis regained his breath. "Why'd you do that for? Sure, you came back
from New York-but at least have a better approach!" Noctis said, his cheeks
blushing cute pastel pink colour.
 
Prompto gripped the prince's waist tighter. "But I've been planning this when I
arrived in the air port, though...!" He pouted. Noctis trailed his hands down
to Prompto's fingers, trying to pry them away. The blond student refused to. He
continued laughing, watching as how the prince of Insomnia, can't even get out
a grasp of his own friend. Especially a close one like him.
 
"Can you...?" Noctis trailed off. He ripped each of the blond's fingers from
his waist, but then it resulted the two hands crawling to his torso. Prompto's
face leaned towards Noctis' neck, nuzzling deeply. The blond inhaled, causing
the prince to make a yelping noise. Noctis bit the inside of his right cheek.
He felt like a weak, fragile person. He's a prince! Literally under second
command from his father!
 
"Hey, you use the same detergent as me." He took another inhale again. "It
smells so good..." Prompto hugged his friend even tighter.
 
"Can we just get to class!?" Noctis tightly said.
 
"Fine, fine." Prompto let go of his body. The raven sighed in relief. Noctis
turned around, his back against his locker door. He watched as Prompto walked
away, turning his head around, smiling. Noctis slumped down, his shoulders
dropping.
 
                                     ----
                                        
"And that's how the WW1 began." 
 
The class clapped.
 
Mr.Izunia had a fountain pen in hand, writing down notes on a rubric that
belonged to Noctis. Mr.Izunia looked up, watching as the raven went to his
seat. A small smile was put on his face. He stood up.
 
"That is the end of our presentations. Mr.Caelum, that was...interesting."
Mr.Izunia somewhat complimented. His right hand stopped writing, resulting
Noctis' rubric to be completed. 
 
"You'll receive these at the end of class." He stated. Noctis threw a glance at
Mr.Izunia, staring at him. The teacher looked back, catching his gaze. He
almost smirked. The prince's eyes blinked twice, and his gaze moved to the left
nervously. He looked back at Mr.Izunia, who was still looking at him, causing
the raven to shift his glance away one more time.
 
Mr.Izunia spun around, facing the chalkboard. He wrote something onto the
board. He turned around.
 
"From our previous discussion, it will be about the Roman Times- pair up with a
partner, I honestly don't care who, get the project finished in two days.
Printing will result in font Arial, size 14, aligned to the left and has to be
given to me the day before the deadline." 
 
Noctis squirmed in his seat. He gripped the edge of his desk, sighing. He was
completely fine. He wasn't going to die, or anything. He could get some help by
his guards.
 
"And no help by parents, nor guardians."
 
Dammit.
 
"Within further due; dismissed." Mr.Izunia brought his hand out, making a
shooing geasture. Students groaned, lazily standing up, exiting the room.
Noctis was backing his backpack, but was soon stopped by Mr. Izunia's voice.
 
"Mr.Caelum, I would like to see your project up first." He said with a smirk
playing on his face. Noctis kept quiet, not responding to his teacher. He
continued shoving away his books into his backpack as quick as he could.
Zipping it up, he slung it over his shoulder, but to find it being caught by an
arm.
 
Looking over his shoulder, his History teacher was right there.
Literally right there.
 
"Quiet, yes? You were like that as you spoke during your presentation." Mr.
Izunia grabbed the student's jaw with his right hand. His index finger and his
thumb, possessively touching and grasping the jaw like it was an expensive
piece of cotton. His left hand stroked and gently traced the prince's jaw line,
feeling ht edges and how you could feel it's bone.
 
Noctis hissed. He raised his right hand in the air, about to push Mr. Izunia's
shoulder. Though, it was quickly caught by the teacher's left hand, grasping it
roughly. 
 
There was a sound of ruffling outside the door.
 
It was the Cid, the janitor.
 
The prince opened his mouth, about to say something, but Mr. Izunia's right
hand let go of Noctis' jaw, to cover his mouth instead.
 
"Don't move." He ordered. Noctis wanted to lick his teacher's hand. But decided
to not. Though, it was quite tempting.
 
 They could hear the janitor's broom, sweeping to the left and the right.
Noctis was panting, heavily. Though, the teacher didn't mind it. He actually
liked it when the raven was breathing like he ran for 24 hours straight. Made
him look vulnerable, and weak. And couldn't have the ability to run away for
his freedom.
 
Noctis' eyes went wide, as he heard the door handle jingle. His breathing
paused, his lungs burning. The jingle jangle stopped. The prince began to
breath again. From head to toe, his body was all hot and red. Mr.Izunia was
having the time of his life. He didn't care if the two were caught. He didn't
care if Noctis would sue him. No, he wouldn't. The teacher's grip was still
around the prince's mouth, and his left hand, still raised into the air.
 
"Let..go..." The raven struggled to say. He made a hiss noise when Mr.Izunia
put his face down to nuzzle against his neck. It was like the most appropriate,
and weakest place someone would find on Noctis' body.
 
The red-violet man sighed. He let alone the boy.
 
"See me after school."
 
Noctis leaned forward, almost falling. He quickly gained a grip of himself,
grabbing a hold of a nearby table's rim. He stood up, adjusting his jacket. He
grabbed his backpack, pulling it back swiftly. It was nearby Mr.Izunia, which
made Noctis anxious if he'd grab him again. The raven walked back, continuing
to stare at the amber-eyed teacher. The young prince took his final glance,
turning away. He headed towards the door, opening it up.
 
On his way out, all he heard were his chuckles.
 
                                     ----
                                        
Escaping the clutches of his History teacher, Noctis quickly ran to the locker
rooms. Slamming his body into the door (while opening it at the same time), the
prince quickly sat on a nearby bench. His legs were shivering, like they were
made out of noodles. His elbows laid out onto his knees, while his hands were
placed around his jaw line. Noctis huffed, and exhaled heavily.
 
"Fuck, okay..." Noctis said. He gulped, soon opening his mouth up again to take
a breather. His lungs were burning. His body flushed a rashy looking red that
looked close to a tulip colour. The young prince took off his jacket, revealing
his slim and skinny looking arms. They looked like thin bread sticks. He
scratched his arms, using the sharp rims of his nails. They almost looked like
a back up weapon instead of a pocket knife.
 
There was a sound of footsteps approaching.
 
Noctis first thought he was alone, but he wasn't. His heart raced, looking up
from his lap. 
 
A student, with muscular arms, scars and tattoos all over his body. He had a
couple scars on his eye, and his brown hair was pushed back.
 
"Gladio?"
 
"Noctis? Is that you?" Gladiolus came by to the prince, giving him a fist bump.
 
The prince laughed. "I think so."
 
"Came to think you'd participate in P.E..."
 
"Yeah, yeah. I really wished that I couldn't." Noctis rolled his eyes.
 
"So. How's it been?" Gladio asked, crossing his arms in an intimidating pose.
 
 "Just met Prompto. Guy's taller than me by an inch."
 
"An...inch?" The muscular student said, in disbelief.
 
"Yeah, I had the same reaction..."
 
"Isn't that an embarrassing thought? You, the prince of Insomnia, being a
midget?" Gladiolus chuckled, with a small smirk. His laugh was deep, and husky.
Noctis shuddered and almost had a cold feeling down his spine.
 
"Hah, guess so?" Noctis said with a nervous laugh, trying to shrug off that
feeling.
 
"Heard we've got Mr.Leonis as our coach."
 
"God, he's such a hard ass on us..." Noctis said with a grudge. Mr.Leonis, he
was a person who'd work like a military man. Stopped running, 500 push-ups,
didn't properly do sit-ups, run 50 laps, got late for gym, the whole class runs
outside at the field for the whole period.
 
"And he respects you like you're his son, or something." Noctis also added in.
 
"Probably because I'm more muscular than everybody else."
 
"You've got like, what, 4 gym memberships?"
 
"Don't talk gym life, aye?" Gladiolus said.
 
Noctis snorted, rolling his eyes. The two of them quickly got changed, running
out the locker room. They were instructed to do their warms up, which was 20
laps around the gym, 150 push-ups and wall-sits for 5 minutes. It was a huge
pain in the ass.
 
"C'mon, Caelum, you can do better!" Leonis yelled out. All eyes were on him.
Gladiolus was already on his 18th lap, while Noctis was on his 11th. The prince
caught up to the muscular student, breathing heavily.
 
"Holy shit, you can," He panted. "run that fast, despite being," He panted. "a
big fuck?"
 
"I'll just take that as a compliment." Gladio smirked, widely this time. He let
out a husky laugh out of his throat. The young raven realized what he just
said, and quickly coughed. His face was a red colour, mixing with the sweaty
exhaustion, and the embarrassing, clueless thing he just said. Noctis quickly
sped up his pace, running more quicker than Gladio.
 
He did keep up, though. The tattooed student wasn't even sweating!
 
"Running away?"
 
"Shut it..." Noctis breathed out.
 
His back was patted, just above his upper body, almost smacking his behind. The
prince let out a choked pant, shocked that his behind was almost touched. Sure,
Prompto handled his waist and torso, but nothing near his ass. He
wasn't perverted or anything.
 
Though, one time, Prompto did ask Noctis for a picture of him, just for some
sort of thing in his photography club. The prince did disbelieve the freckled
teen, but went with it anyway.
 
The whistle blew.
 
"Must need work on that..." Leonis sighed. The students were all panting,
tired, legs shaking, and sweaty. Gladio, though, he wasn't doing any of that.
He looked like he just got out of the locker room. The young prince was jealous
over him. He realized that his cheeks were redder than everyone else's in the
gym room. Redder they were, the more unhealthy he was.
 
"Look at the prince..."
 
"He's so cute when he's so red!"
 
"I need to take a picture of this..."
 
"No, I don't have my phone with me!"
 
"Enough." Leonis ordered. Everybody shut their mouths, and Noctis gained a
breather.
 
"He's red for a reason." Gladiolus said, putting his arm around the raven's
shoulders. He hissed, scolding the taller student.
 
"I swear to god..." Noctis said, with a mumble of his lips. Gladio put away his
arm, letting the prince relax and stretch out his muscles for a bit. They were
assigned to be in separate teams, for a small game of volleyball. Thankfully,
the the fat ass (Gladiolus) was with Noctis. The raven almost died in relief,
as he didn't need to go against a guy like him. He'd probably strike him in the
face and would be in the hospital for a couple months.
 
A student from the other end served. It aimed at Noctis.
 
"Better bump it back..." Gladio warned.
 
"Of course." The prince said, obviously.
 
Bumping it over, it headed out of the court. Gladio deadpanned, scowling at the
prince. Noctis simply grounded his teeth together, breathing through it,
awkwardly and embarrassed. Despite Gladio's angry scowl, everyone else in the
court didn't do so. They didn't want to make the prince unhappy, or else
he'd behead them. If Noctis wasn't a prince, then he would be yelled out.
 
Noctis rarely got any insults or scowls at school. At home, sure. His father,
mostly, his close pals, mostly Gladio, but at school, everybody were to be a
scared ostrich. They hit their heads under the ground, hiding away and hoping
to be gone out of thin air. Even the most popular ones, they'd respect Noctis'
privacy, probably play around with him, just a pat on the back, or a
compliment. None other the less, everyone seemed to be a coward.
 
There's a reason Noctis was friends with Gladio and Prompto. First year at
school, they weren't scared. And Noctis thanked them for that. If it never
happened, he'd believe to be a so called Lonely Prince. Or maybe in the
future,;Lonely King.
 
Couple minutes later, the whistle blew.
 
"Changing time." Noctis said with relief. His arms were all red, sore and
itchy. He had the urge to scratch them, but didn't. He'd probably just pour
cold water on them. Gladio appeared to the right of the raven, smacking his
back. Noctis let out a teen boy laugh out of his mouth.
 
"Y'know where Ignis is at?" Gladio asked.
 
"Oh, him? Almost forgot about that guy..." Noctis said. "Didn't he say he was
at the hospital, getting his eyes fixed?"
 
"Yeah, something along those lines."
 
"Poor guy. Being blind is awful."
 
Gladio scoffed. "No, shit..."
 
The two changed out of their outfits, turning back to their original uniforms.
Though, Noctis didn't really agree on that. He insisted to wear his casual
clothes. Easily, he made his way through it. As being a prince. Noctis wasn't
even surprised...
 
Gladio did the same. Not because of his muscular size, it was mostly because of
being the prince's bud. He wore his everyday outfit. Usually just a sleeveless
jacket, wide opened with his 6 pack revealed. He also wore trousers and boots.
Discriminating school laws, he had to wear a shirt. Just a simple tank top
worked out well. The majority of Noctis' gang wore their clothes to school.
Including Prompto and Ignis.
 
Ignis had an excuse. He couldn't even see what he was wearing. If someone
assigned him to wear something, he'd do so. Even if it were to be a dress.
 
"I'm gonna go to the library if that's fine with you." Noctis said.
 
Gladio nodded, but made a grin. "Never thought you were into books..."
 
"I read Luna's diary everyday. How do you think I'm not into books?" Noctis
said with a laugh. The brunet made a half shrug, and mouthed "True".
 
Once the prince entered the room, he immediately bumped into a student. "Ah-
geez..." Noctis groaned. He hit his head, hard on the tall male's chest.
Falling back, his forearm was caught. Pulled back, the raven took a close look
at the student.
 
"I've heard that you've met with Prompto and Gladio. That's a great thing to
here." Ignis said with a smile.
 
"You're back and-" Noctis paused, looking at Ignis' hand. His cane wasn't
there. He looked back up to his eyes. His glasses weren't a tinted fainted
colour anymore. They were real.
 
"My vision has returned, yes." Ignis said with a nod.
 
Noctis leaned in, hugging the tall figure.
 
Ignis was quite shocked of his approach. Though, he did hug him back. The raven
released, but Ignis' grip didn't. His nose was tucked deep into the short
student's neck.
 
"You have the scent of Prompto."
 
"...We both use the same detergent." 
 
Ignis pulled away. "That explains it." He adjusted his glasses, along with
clearing his throat.
 
"I'm just here to chill out, really." Noctis admitted. His right hand rubbed
the back of his neck, awkwardly.
 
Ignis made a soft smile, but returned back to his normal serious expression.
 
"What...?" Noctis noticed it. Of course he did-Ignis doesn't usually smile!
 
"Nothing to be thought of." Ignis lied.
 
"It's obvious when you lie..." Noctis smiled.
 
"Is that so?" Ignis cocked his head to the right. He put his right hand to his
hip, and his gaze at Noctis' blue orbs. Truthfully, he looked quite adorable.
Pale skin, soft looking lips, blue beautiful eyes and that gentle, fluffy
looking strands, his short, black sleeved shirt, black-grey trousers and his
black foots. It fit him so well, making him look like a delicacy.
 
Ignis put his right hand into Nocits' black hair. It shined in the light,
almost turning into a midnight, navy blue colour.
 
"H-Hey..." Noctis said, looking up.
 
Ignis took one of the strands of the prince's hair, soothing it. Even though
Noctis couldn't exactly feel it on his nerves, it still made Ignis feel it
intended to be touched and comforted. The library was quiet. Nobody was in
there, except the two. Noctis stuttered out words that couldn't exactly reach
out of his throat, causing him to make little noises. The little prince was so
confused.
 
Precious.
 
"Iggy...?"
 
Soft.
 
"Iggy..."
 
Gentle.
 
"Iggy...!"
 
Cute.
 
"Iggy!"
 
Beautifu-
 
"Iggy!" Noctis said, out loud and bold.
 
 
He was still lost in space. Noctis backed up, enough to shuffle away from the
light brown haired male. Instead, he was shoved to the door. Ignis towered over
the short-stack and his right arm was was right above the prince's head. Noctis
looked up into Ignis' eyes. Yes, they were a little covered up by his glasses,
but it made him more handsome by the second. 
 
"Your eyes are so intriguing..." Ignis stated.
 
A sound of a rumble was heard, right inside of Noctis' trouser's pockets. Ignis
blinked his eyes twice, finally realizing what reality was. He pulled back. 
 
"I'm...I apologize..." Ignis said, crossing his arms, his gaze shifting to the
left.
 
"No, it's...fine. I've just got a call from..." Noctis looked down. "Prompto."
 
"I see. Take your time." Ignis said, nodding his head in a formal way. Noctis
quickly walked out the door, shutting it swiftly. He leaned against a wall
nearby the library's door. 
 
"Hmm?" Noctis hummed.
 
"Hey, Noct. I'm in the cafeteria. The place in wild! You should check it out!"
Prompto said, with a laugh of his voice. A sound of a crash was heard over the
line.
 
"Wow. Seems like you're having a time of your life." Noctis chuckled.
 
"Yeah, wish you could see it. I kind of missed your voice as well..."
 
"Missed my...voice? I've just been gone for a couple hours, not a year." The
raven had a shiver down his spine. For some odd reason, he seemed nervous. Just
because of the strange emotions coming from his closest friend.
 
Prompto didn't reply.
 
"You there, bud?"
 
"Oh! Uhh, yeah!" Prompto let out an awkward laugh. "Just watching a fight
happening in here. Dude, Frank just got pummeled down by Bill! This is so
hilarious! You should really come here!" The blond exclaimed. His breathing was
heavy. It looked like he was having some of the action as well.
 
"Alright, alright. I'll come along."
 
"Woohoo!" The freckled blond hung up.
 
Noctis leaned his head against the wall with a smile tugging his lips. "What
the hell am I going to do with him?" He said, putting his phone back into his
trouser's pockets.
 
"I apologize deeply if I am interrupting something." Ignis' voice popped up.It
caught the young prince's attention. He put put his hands into his trouser's
pockets, despite his phone being in one of them. 
 
"No, it's fine."
 
"Who did you speak with on your device?" Ignis asked in curiosity. 
 
"You ask me like you're gonna kill them..." Noctis laughed.
 
The brunet didn't say anything in response.
 
"...It was Prompto." He said with a mumble.
 
"About what?"
 
"There's just some chaos happening in the cafeteria. Nothing special."
 
"...Must I come with you?" 
 
"I don't think anybody would hurt me. They wouldn't dare go near me in the
first place." Noctis said, with a roll of his eyes. 
 
"Very well." 
 
"I mean...you could if you'd like." Noctis added in. "You haven't seen anything
fun anyway." 
 
Ignis smiled. "That'd be an honor."
 
 
The prince scoffed. "You act way too formal. Especially at school nowadays."
 
"Only to serve you, your Highness."
 
"Cut it out, I told you to stick with my actual name, or Noct, at least..."
 
"Very well...your Highness."
 
"Ugh..."
 
                                     ----
                                        
"Oh, shitttttttt..." Prompto cursed. He took a photo of it, using his camera.
It made a bright blinding light of a flash, making the whole cafeteria blind.
 
Thank god Ignis wasn't there.
 
Noctis opened up the cafeteria door. It truly was chaotic.
 
"This is shocking. Have you been doing this while I have been absent?" Ignis
said.
 
"And now you wish that you were still blind..." Noctis said jokingly.
 
"Very much."
 
"Ignis." Prompto's voice said.
 
"Noct! Heyyy, I was waiting for you!" Prompto put his right arm over Noctis'
shoulders. It trailed over, limping to the other side. Ignis was right behind
them. Inside of Ignis' mind, he was quite angry at the blond for taking away
the prince. Though, his face reactions didn't change. Instead, his face stayed
in a serious expression. It was almost glued like a statue.
 
"You looked...busy." Noctis stared down at Prompto's camera. Noctis felt
awkward. It was mostly because he needed to get used to Prompto's height. He's
not an inch under him. No, no. He's an inch taller than him, now. The freckled
student threatened to snort or make a large grin on his face. 
 
A metal lunch tray was thrown to a wall, right past Noctis.
 
"Hey...watch it." The prince scowled. Eyes were all on him, worried, and
terrified. Though, one male stood up. He walked over to the prince, challenging
him. 
 
He had light blond hair, and was in some sort of wavy style. "So you're the
prince, huh?" He said. The guy was at Prompto's height, but seemed shorter
because of his hair style. The student stood up, right at the prince, shaming
him because of his height.
 
"...Yeah, I am. What about it?" Noctis crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes.
Prompto looked furious. Much more angry than Noctis' stare. Ignis was furious
on the inside, but decided to keep it in.
 
"Well, well. Pleasure meeting you, your Highness..." He mocked with a sound of
disgust. The student made a swooping bow, causing the cafeteria to become quiet
as the wind. Noctis' left eyebrow twitched, and didn't exactly know what to do.
Punch him? That wouldn't be the smartest thing. Threaten? Father may as well
scold him. Ask his friends to deal with him? Such a cowardly option!
 
"How is your father- oh, I forgot. Isn't he injured from his assassination?"
The student mocked once more.
 
That made the raven lose it.
 
Noctis grounded his teeth. He walked forward, grabbing the blond's shirt's
collar. "What line do you suppose you're crossing-"
 
"Noctis." Ignis voice pounded.
 
The prince looked at the light haired brunet. Noctis looked away, making a
hissing noise. He looked back at the blond, who had a smug look on his face.
The prince turned away, heading for Prompto's side.
 
"That is not a very delightful welcoming, is it not, Loqi Tummelt?" Ignis said,
shifting his glasses closer to his face, to get a much more better look at the
blond.
 
Loqi trailed up and down Ignis' structure. "Not blind anymore, huh?"
 
"Indeed, so."
 
"Hm. You can finally take a look at your little princess know. We all know
you're into him." Loqi said, with a grin and sneer on his lips.
 
Ignis furrowed his brows, making a grunt noise. He didn't bother looking back
at Noctis. He already seemed confused and somewhat mortified.
 
"If I did, I would've told him. If not, I wouldn't had." Ignis lied.
 
"Well, you're not the only one." Loqi said.
 
"...What're you playing at?" Noctis' voice spoke up.
 
Loqi seemed almost interested into what he was about to say.
 
"Noct, Noct. Everyone's after you. You're the prince after all."
 
"When I mean everyone. I mean including your teachers,"
 
"and your little gang."
 
 
***** Chapter Two: Math Horror *****
Chapter Summary
     "Math homework, Mr.Caelum?" The teacher's voice said. Noctis quietly
     gasped in relief, his phone still tucked between his thighs. The tone
     had a mixture of disgust and toxic fumes, flowing right at the
     prince's face.
     Mr.Fleuret had blond hair, which seemed like a white colour, while
     the ends were just hovering over his shoulder blades. And those eyes.
     His eyes were literally stabbing the soul out of Noct. His left orb
     was brown, while the right was blue. The blond was sitting as his
     chair, his elbows placed onto his desk, and hands clasped together.
     All eyes were on Noct, as he sat in the back of the room.
     It left his mouth draw like a desert. "...I forgot it at home..."
     Noctis managed to reply, with his trusty led pencil in hand, as he
     clicked away while staring at his lap.
     "And you're the one who received the storm's blessing..." Mr.Fleuret
     said with a hiss.
     Noctis didn't reply. The blond teacher opened his mouth, his motions
     seeming irritated and angry.
     "See me after school."
Chapter Notes
     Ravus is being introduced here, since I didn't do so for the first
     chapter (I did plan Ravus to be here anyway). But anyway, I hope you
     guys enjoy!
     This is gonna be focused on mostly Ravus and Ignis, just a heads up!
See the end of the chapter for more notes
 
 
"...What're you talking about?" Noctis let out a nervous laugh. Truly, the
prince wanted to accept this as a joke He simply shrugged.
 
"Take a look at them." The blond replied.
 
The prince was still in denial.
 
Noctis turned around, facing Prompto. His gaze was looking down at the ground,
almost humiliated and ashamed. "Is this true-"
 
"NO!" Prompto yelled, but his eyes widened. "Eh- I mean, no, it's not." He said
with an awkward laugh, scratching the back of his neck. Noctis' gaze went off
to Ignis. He threw him a look of confusion. Ignis looked down at his shoes. His
mouth didn't open to deny it all.
 
"Tummelt, knock it off, will you...?"
 
The voice was feminine-like, edgy sounding and street-smart. Behind Loqi, it
appeared with a female having blond hair, which almost resembled lily white. 
 
"Sorry about that, short-cake." She said. She put her hands to her hips,
observing the prince.
 
"Aranea Highwind." The raven said with mock. "Short-cake?" Noctis snorted.
 
"A nickname. So I don't need to call you by your Highness, anymore." 
 
"That would be your only choice?"
 
"Just seemed really fitting. You're close to being short as that nerd who
usually sits in the corner." She said, turning her body as a geasture, to a
small, slim and shivering kid. Noctis almost felt awful for that poor guy.
 
"Would you wanna stick with Pretty Boy?" Aranea asked.
 
"I'm actually fine with that. You do know that guys'll just catch up with their
height when they reach around their 20's, you know." Noctis said, with a smile.
 
"What are you, my health teacher?" She said with a sassy tone.
 
Noctis gave a shrug.
 
"Sorry about Tummelt over here. He's sometimes an ass, and you've got to deal
with him. Not the sort of guy you'd wanna be friends with anyway..." Aranea
said the last part in a mumble, and looked back at the blond. Loqi scowled, his
eyes narrowing, glaring at the the female blond and the raven.
 
"Are you on his side?" Loqi questioned. His hands clenched into fists. His eyes
shifted to the prince, glaring at him. Noctis didn't do much to him. Last year
(the Freshman years) the raven may had ruined his life by spilling hot
chocolate onto Loqi's white jeans, making him look like he shit himself. And
one time, he defeated Loqi at fencing, in front of his whole family. The blond
didn't come back for two months, embarrassed and clearly humilated.
 
Highwind didn't reply. It was almost like she was ignoring him. Aranea walked
away from the young prince, her hands off of her hips. Spinning around on her
heel, she opened her mouth. "See you later, Pretty Boy." Aranea said with a
flirty and seductive tone. She was the type of person who could swoon and
manipulate men down to their knees with just a simple 'Hello." or a little cute
nickname.
 
Noctis turned around, his eyes looking left to right at Prompto and Ignis. 
 
"Loqi, and his...jokes." Prompto made a fake laugh.
 
"He hates me a lot. All I did was embarrass him a couple times. It didn't
murder him, or anything." Noctis said with a roll of his eyes in annoyance. He
knew that this year, his ass was going to get pummeled.
 
"It's quite obvious he resents you. But I reassure you that he won't be coming
into contact with you any sooner." Ignis said. A sound of shoes clicking and
clacking on the cafeteria floor approached, getting louder and louder.
 
"Noct!" Iris voice shrilled.
 
"Oh, hey-" A sickening and tight hug was pounced onto Noctis' chest. His lungs
were collapsing.
 
She let him go. "Have you seen Gladdy?"
 
The prince panted. "I," He took a deep breath. "have not."
 
"Aranea said that he ended up in the nurse's office. Something about fighting a
kid who talked trash about you." Iris explained.
 
"Probably Loqi's twin." Noctis joked with sarcasm.
 
The female brunette laughed along. "I'm glad your gang's with you all the time.
Your friends are so protective over you. Especially Gladdy. He'd pummel up
anyone who insults you." Iris let out a giggle. Her glance turned to Prompto's
and Ignis' eyes. The freckled blond raised his shoulders up, hands in pockets,
nervously looking away. Ignis shifted his eyes slowly to his right, trying his
best to ignore her stare.
 
"Your friends are a little nervous at the moment." She giggled.
 
The prince turned around. A split second, he turned back around to face the
brunette.
 
"A little shocked?" The female smiled.
 
"They...rarely act that way, I suppose so."
 
"Mostly around you." Iris gave a suggestive look in her eyes. 
 
"Them liking me? I...doubt they're even gay." Noctis admitted. The two behind
the prince were looked hurt.
 
"Are you gay?"
 
It seemed skeptical at first. Noctis was sitting on the fence, his crotch
getting punctured by that sharp pitch point. He needed to get off somehow. But
to which side? Being with the pride flag, or just flat out straight? Noctis
took some time, thinking about it. Was he? Sure, he liked Lunafreya for a bit,
but it died down. He just treats her like a regular, close friend would do. He
took some interest in a couple guys, but they weren't fitting. Noctis just
treated them pals, or left them alone for their own friends to hang out with.
The raven 
 
"I guess?"
 
Prompto's eyes lit up.
 
Noctis blinked. Twice and stammered. "P-Probably not..." He realized himself in
a huge crowd of students in the cafeteria, all eyes on him. A feeling of being
lashed down, he made a hiss, trying to seem and look cool. Iris stood there,
inspecting the raven's facial expressions. Noctis almost felt diminutive from
the amount of people's eyes just peering at his sides, stabbing him until he
dropped dead. He was short. Almost the same height as the average female.
 
It was embarrassing.
 
"Oh, don't worry, Noct!" Iris encouraged, patting the prince's right shoulder.
"They won't hurt you. You've got your buds by your side, right?"
 
Stripped of his hard-looking attitude and (somewhat) strong looking body
figure, he looked like a tiny delicate flower.
 
"Uhuh..." The raven's cheeks flared a colour of crimson red. He couldn't take
the pressure. It was limitless! Everytime he opened up his mouth, his lips
trembled, like he cried for half an hour over a shitty Twilight story.
"Ah- we should go now!" Iris said, filling in the gaps of silence. "You've got
math now, right?"
 
"I think so." Noctis found math neutral. Though, during classes he just wanted
to sleep and ignore everything. The reason behind it, wasn't because that he
really resented math, it was just the teacher he resented. Mr.Fleuret hated
him. Somewhere near the guts and bones. Whenever Noctis went to class late-
even if were to be a minute late, he'd gain detention right after school.
 
Right when Noctis exited the cafeteria, Prompto's hand quickly smacked his
friend's back. It was harder than expected.
 
"Hey, uh...what happened back there..." Prompto trailed off.
 
"Are you gay?" Noctis completed his sentence.
 
"...Yeah...are...you?" The blond asked. He tried his best, to not sound eager.
 
"You're asking me like you're gay. Along with Ignis."
 
Prompto let out a stuttered and quiet response. "E-Eh..."
 
"Now you sound Canadian." Noctis let out a chuckle, and a smile on his lips.
The freckled student knew it was a joke, but his expression didn't show. It
fooled the prince, believing that he seemed sad. Thankfully the topic was
quickly changed.
 
"Shit, did I say something wrong?" The raven looked at the blond, with almost
glassy and almost puppy dog eyes. Prompto could just die in the hallway, his
cheeks flaring a tomato colour and adoring the look of those orbs.
 
"O-Oh! Nah, nothing's wrong!" Prompto stuttered.
 
"...Okay, then?" 
 
"Noct, do we not have class together?" Ignis' voice spoke.
 
"You better help me out in that Hellhole..." Noctis scowled.
 
"I've got science for a bit. See you Noct!" Prompto said with a big smile,
shaking the prince's hand, walking away. He didn't let go for a bit, until he
was far enough for his fingertips to leave. Noctis' hands were warm. Very warm.
Almost like a furnace. During the cold seasons, whenever the four went camping,
they'd always fight for whoever would sleep next to him. 
 
Arriving at their next classroom, Noctis stretched his arms and shoulders. He
made a huff, while Ignis opened the door.
 
And beyond that door,
 
awaits a son of a bitch.
 
"Mr. Scientia." The teacher said with a calm, and gentle tone. As turning gaze
to the prince, his eyes were serious, and almost furious-like. 
 
Mr.Fleuret didn't bother saying his name. Noctis wasn't even surprised. The
prince groaned and rolled his eyes. He sat down by a nearby seat, while Ignis
was much further away. They were given a pop quiz, a sheet that would be mostly
multiple choice. Instead, Noctis was handed one without any. It was quickly
realized, as the prince's gaze noticed everyone's sheets were different.
 
"Mr.Fleuret," Noctis' voice was filled with venom and poison.
 
He wanted to vomit.
 
"this...is different from everyone else's..." Noctis argued.
 
"And that's how I set it up." The teacher walked away, heading to his desk. The
raven sat dumbfounded, his appearance seeming, and feeling like disgust. Noctis
eyes looked mid-section of his paper and the teacher, his orbs looking like
judgmental eyes. Noctis slightly gawked at the paper, examining as the
questions were difficult as ever. They weren't even relevant to what he learned
in class!
 
Noct heard a buzzing feeling in his pant's pocket. It was the worst moment to
be called. The prince secretly put his hand behind his back, taking his phone
out. He placed it between his thighs, lowering the brightness. 
 
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: hheeeey, how's it going?
 
[Prince(ss)_Noctis]: what do you think?
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: nvm
 
[Prince(ss)_Noctis]:yeah thought so.......
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: Mr.Flert ruffling your feathers?
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: Mr.Fleuret*
 
[Prince(ss)_Noctis]: Mr.Flert?  sounds like flirt. he gave me a completely
different test than everyone else's...i call that bullcrap............
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: NAAAhh it's probably just because your a prince and you
need to be suited in the future
 
[Chocobo_Butt_Hair]: you're*
 
[Prince(ss)_Noctis]: I doubt it
 
Noctis looked up from his test, his eyes looking straight at the teacher.
 
The teacher was looking at him the whole time.
 
Noctis shoved his phone deep into his lap, right into his thighs, hiding the
device. He quickly shut off the phone, while Prompto was still in mid text. The
young prince grabbed his trustworthy led pencil, quickly dotting down notes,
making him seem busy. Noctis' gaze was staring deeply at his paper, as he could
feel his cheeks going red from the uncomfortable heat he was breathing,
including the teacher's stare. 
 
His bangs fell down in front of his face, causing Noctis' body to become more
warm. Especially his face. He looked sick. A sick person, with the urge to
leave out the room and run away with arms flailing in the wind. Though, the
raven didn't do that. Quite tempting.
 
Ignis was seen walking out the room, probably just for a washroom break.
 
The whole room was in utter silence. A sound of a pencil falling could be heard
from one side, to the other, somebody shuffling their shoes and somebody
quietly unzipping their pencil case. A sound of a chair pulling back was heard,
right from the teacher's desk. Mr.Fleuret stood up, walking his way at the
prince.
 
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit... 
 
Noctis thought to himself.
 
May the Gods forgive me...
 
"Math homework, Mr.Caelum?" The teacher's voice said. Noctis quietly gasped in
relief, his phone still tucked between his thighs. The tone had a mixture of
disgust and toxic fumes, flowing right at the prince's face.
 
Mr.Fleuret had blond hair, which seemed like a white colour, while the ends
were just hovering over his shoulder blades. And those eyes. His eyes were
literally stabbing the soul out of Noct. His left orb was brown, while the
right was blue. The blond was sitting as his chair, his elbows placed onto his
desk, and hands clasped together.
 
All eyes were on Noct, as he sat in the back of the room.
 
It left his mouth draw like a desert. "...I forgot it at home..." Noctis
managed to reply, with his trusty led pencil in hand, as he clicked away while
staring at his lap.
 
"And you're the one who received the storm's blessing..." Mr.Fleuret said with
a hiss.
 
Noctis didn't reply. The blond teacher opened his mouth, his motions seeming
irritated and angry.
 
"See me after school."
 
For fucks sake...
 
"And hand me your device." He finally ordered. The bell rung, students running
off to their next class, either talking, texting, or simply just walking. Loose
sheets of paper flew in the air, pencils dropped to the ground and sounds of
sneakers were squeaking around the floor.
 
"I'm literally going off to my next cl-"
 
"My eyes didn't lie seeing you use your phone, am I not correct?" 
 
Noctis could, or couldn't lie. He had two options. Lie, his father, including
Mr.Fleuret, would get angry at him, don't lie, Mr.Fleuret would still get angry
at him. It was almost an impossible choice. He groaned, taking his phone out
from between his thighs, pressing the off button, leaving the screen pitch
black. He lazily handed his teacher the device. Mr.Fleuret took it, holding it
in his right hand. Noct could easily grab it out, though it'd cause a wreck.
Ravus stared his eyes at the clock. He was late.
 
"I don't have much time for this."
 
"Then why not use it for something else?" Noctis talked back. For once in his
life.
 
The teacher's expression was featureless. He furrowed his brows and narrowed
his eyes.
 
"Detention."
 
"Wait, what?"
 
"For two weeks."
 
Two weeks!?
 
"H-Hey...I've gotta see Mr.Izunia after school-" Noctis tried his best to move
on from the topic, away from those two weeks. Though, Mr.Fleuret dragged him
down.
 
"I wonder what you've done to upset him..." The blond scowled and hissed
angrily. He had enough of Noctis' excuses.
 
Throughout the past months, Noctis always used an excuse saying "Doing princely
duties", "Didn't have anytime" and "Didn't understand the whole thing." mostly
excuses. At least it wasn't "My dog ate my homework".
 
Looking into each other's eyes, Noctis had a shudder down his spine. His body
was trembling, and his lips were quivering roughly. It wasn't even cold inside
the class! Noct's head was going crazy. His mind was dizzy, losing
consciousness. 
 
"Noct? Noctis? Noctis!" Ignis' voice yelled out. He returned back to the class.
His eyes glanced up at Mr.Fleuret, wondering if he had done anything to harm
his friend. Though, he disbelieved the teacher would dare put a hand on the
prince. Despite the teacher having a strong hatred over him.
 
Noctis lost his balance, falling forward, deep into the teacher's warm chest.
His breath breathed on the top of his head, his nerves travelling to his brain,
messaging him of the comforting heat. His eyes gave up on him.
 
And darkness devoured him.
 
                                     ----
                                        
Hey, dad.
 
I've just gotta say this for a moment. Y'know, in case if I mess up the future
generations.
 
How the fuck did you raise me?
 
Awoken, sitting on Ignis' lap, warm and snug, tight and soft. Noctis felt his
hips being tugged by Mr.Fleuret was simply watching the two, as the school
nurse came by to check up on the young raven. The teacher's eyes narrowed,
turning into a deep, mad glare. The prince's head dropped down, finally
realizing reality and the position he was in. His eyes widened, big as saucers.
 
The prince let out a quiet yelp.
 
"What the-...Ig-....he-hey..." Noctis stuttered. He couldn't find his words
anywhere.
 
"Ah, you've awoken." Ignis said with relief. Noctis turned his head over his
shoulders, seeing where he currently was. He was in the nurse's office, with
Ignis sitting on a chair, holding Noctis like he was a newborn.
 
Noctis soon enough squirmed his way out, ignoring Ignis' concerns. He just
wanted to get out of this strange. humiliating heat. His feet collapsed to the
floor, his knees falling as well, acting as a baby deer. Ignis couldn't help
but prompt out a chuckle from his lips. The prince glared back at his friend,
giving him a mean look. Ignis all did but smile. Noctis stood up, his knees
wobbly and his legs jelly-like. 
 
"Do you feel alright?" Ignis questioned.
 
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." He stuttered. "What happened after I...passed out?" Noctis
gulped. The prince stood up once more, his knees buckling. He grabbed onto a
nearby desk, while having it hold his balance. It embarrassed him that he
needed to somewhat learn how to walk again.
 
"Nothing in particular." He straightened up his glasses. "I've heard Mr.Fleuret
caught you during your fall. I do suppose those are rumours I've simply heard.
Might as well be fake." Ignis said tightly.
 
He heard the door open, revealing Prompto and Gladio right by the doorway.
 
"Hey, Noct! I missed you! What happened...?" Prompto eagerly asked. He rushed
his way to his close friend, pushing Ignis out the way. He gave a glare from
the impolite shove. Though, it wasn't because of his lack of manners. It was
mostly because...
 
"Mr.Fleuret took my phone. Couldn't text you after that..." Noctis said with a
half shrug. Prompto put his left arm around Noct's shoulders, pulling him
close. Their breath touched, and the prince backed off with a flushed face. The
three in the room stood in shock of the raven's expression. He was just too
cute! Noctis crossed his arms, his gaze looking down at his own chest.
 
"H-Hey...you're fine, right?" Gladio questioned.
 
Noctis nodded, biting both of the inside of his cheeks. He awkwardly shifted
his glance to the left. 
 
"Did Mr.Fleuret talk anything with you?" Gladio questioned. The embarrassment
flush finally escaped Noctis' face.
 
"Ah, geez. That reminded me of my phone...again. I've gotta see him after
school for using my device in school, or something. Ardyn wants to do the same,
exactly on the same day." Noctis groaned. "They're always hard on my ass..."
Right when the prince said that, it got the three's attention. Mostly, a serous
and protective type of attention.
 
"Would they do anything to you?" Prompto eagerly wondered.
 
"I'm pretty sure it's just a bunch of tests." Gladio reassured.
 
"I doubt they'll hurt you." Ignis straightens his glasses.
 
Shockingly, they all said it at the same time. It caused the prince to laugh,
his hand onto his chest. "I'm fine, I'm fine..." He said, walking away. "let's
get to class." He said in his final smile. His head turned away, and he allowed
his feet to do the work. The gang smiled at Noct as he walked away. The three
friends then looked at each other, with intimidating and serious eyes. Gladio
was the most scary at the moment, Ignis was thinking up of something dangerous,
and Prompto just continued glaring at them all.
 
"He's mine." They managed to say in union.
 
"Gh-...of course he wants to be with me...!" Gladio scowled.
 
"No! Noct and I have been together since forever!" Prompto yelled back. He
jumped off a table he was sitting on, standing right up to Gladio's chest.
Despite the height difference, the blond didn't care. He wanted to prove his
point.
 
"I suppose he intends to be with me, much more than you all." Ignis said,
crossing his arms. The two were quite shocked that Ignis actually challenged
them. 
 
"No, he likes me more..." Prompto turned his hands into fists.
 
"I disagree." Ignis shook his head.
 
They continued arguing, but were quickly stopped by the sound of footsteps
approaching. Mr.Izunia and Mr.Fleuret were there, standing right by the
doorway. The amber-eyed man had a small smile tugging on his lips, while the
blond had an expressionless appearance.
 
"Looks like we've got a couple eavesdroppers..." Gladio barked.
 
 "Eavesdropping? Such a word I cannot describe." Ardyn said with a presentable
smile. It seemed innocent, and friendly, fooling anyone in it's ways. Ardyn
edged closer to the gang, causing the three to move away worriedly. Ravus had a
dead stone cold expression. There was the annoyed, serious person, and the
always eccentric, mysterious and polite. The two remain civil, but the History
teacher slightly changes his ways, turning into a much more violent, and
hostile person towards the things he'd want, or get furious with.
 
"Might as we all find affair with Noctis?" Ravus said, squinting his eyes.
 
"I think we all do," Ardyn added in.
 
"and it's obvious."

Chapter Summary
     "Very well, then." Mr.Izunia had a smug face, looking straight at
     Noctis' eyes. "Now, class," He began. It earned a wide eyed raven,
     having an intense staring contest with his teacher.
     "do you like your teacher or not?"
     They all raised their hands or either nodded, asides from Prompto.
     A grin formed on Mr.Izunia's face.
Chapter Notes
     THIS CHAPTER IS JUST PROMPTO/NOCTIS, a bit of ardyn/noctis.
     This is also including Noct's past in middle school. He's got looks
     that can kill, but inside he's an adorable cinnamon roll!

     I was literally listening to this all the time. I actually got
     inspired of it, creating the title of this chapter...

See the end of the chapter for more notes
 
"No one likes Mr.Izunia. And you know it." Noctis groaned, his chin lying on a
table. He wrapped his arms around his head, his forehead leaning against his
forearms. His face sunk deep into the darkness, and his access to air became
difficult.
 
"What, you gonna frame him in order to get to the point of being fired?"
 
Prompto and the prince were currently in the library, escaping away together in
from the nurse's office and pretended to still be absent. As they would return,
they'd come up with an excuse of "My friend somewhat passed out, so I had to go
help." Sounded like some lame thing from two bad boys would summon up. Noctis
finishing up on some biology homework he forgot to do. "At this rate, you'll
frame him in order to get fired." He joked in response.
 
"Doesn't sound like a half bad idea..." He joked back, prompting a chuckle.
Noctis leant back, removing his arms from his face. The prince's head tilted
back a tad bit, his hands grasping together, wrapping around his nape.
 
"C'mon, we've gotta finish this. Test are coming up soon."
 
Noctis groaned. "Forgot about that..." 
 
"Sorry to be a party-pooper." Prompto laughed. Noct lowered his hands, aiming
toward his trusty led pencil he had ages ago. He answered one of the questions
in his notebook, writing it down. He examined it, assuming it was correct.
 
"Hand me the eraser." Noctis doubted himself.
 
Prompto prompted out a chuckle. "Doubting yourself?" He raised a brow, handing
his friend the eraser. 
 
Their hands touched, feeling the odd warmth. Prompto's hands were sweaty,
holding that eraser for a long period of time. The raven awkwardly grabbed it,
feeling the slick, wet heat from the item. Though, he didn't talk back. It'd be
strange- and horrible that their friendship would end from a sweaty hand and an
eraser. Noct rubbed out the pencil markings, rewriting a different answer.
 
Prompto all did but stare at the prince. 
 
Noctis looked to his right, catching the blond's gaze. His eyebrows furrowed,
nervously shifting his eyes. "You alright?"
 
"Uh- yeah! Yeah, I...am..." The blond raised his shoulder up, his eyes abruptly
widening each second. He cleared his throat before an awkward silence appeared.
"So, which question are you on?"
 
"Eh, twenty-six. The majority of them are multiple choice." Noctis replied.
 
"Oh! Then...that's good!" Prompto tried his best to stop acting nervous, and
more a cool and encouraging friend.
 
"Yeah, and I don't understand any of 'em..." He admitted. The prince let out a
sound of an annoyed sigh. Prompto swore he heard his friend mutter "Fucking
science....",  which made the blond resist the urge to laugh. All but let out a
snort.
 
Back at the nurse's office, it was pretty much a gang war, all fighting for one
thing; Noctis.
 
It seemed like a rivalry-friendship-like fight. The need and the want could end
up horribly, resulting in a loss of friendship. They talked for almost hours
and hours until it finally stopped like a pause button. Everyone else went to
different directions, heading somewhere in order to cool down (except the
teacher's since they're teaching classes). Prompto rushed all the way down the
hallway, searching room by room, until his lungs gave up. When in doubt, he
found Noctis, sitting alone in the library. It was the perfect chance! 
 
Noctis turned his body around, twisting it left and right. "Where's everyone
else? I'd expect them to come by sometime soon..."
 
"Washroom break?"
 
"Altogether? They don't need to shit at the same time." The prince scoffed in
disbelief. 
 
"Who knows? Girls do it all the time." 
 
"True."
 
The two laughed together, their voices combining together, wondering who did
who. But it didn't matter. They were both having the time of their life. Noct
choked on one of his chuckles, looking up. He noticed the clock.
 
"Shit, we're late for class...!" Noct hissed. Prompto's eyes went wide, as he
pushed his chair back, making a Chewbacca's groan. Noct quickly grabbed his
bag, slinging it over his shoulder, running out the door. Prompto did the same,
following his friend's footsteps. There was no time for talk- but just for
panting and running. They hurried their way up the stairs, managing to reach
the top floor under 8 seconds.
 
Slowing their footsteps, they softly walked their way inside, hopefully not
gaining any attention.
 
Somehow, they were successful. 
 
The two took their seats, sitting way in the back, close to the door. they came
through.
 
The science teacher had a horrible, boring attitude. He used the most monotone
voice during class, especially when discussing atoms, the particle theory, and
anything else that's just barely important. There were the front row students,
who mostly sat in the front for a reason; getting useless knowledge. Then
there's the middle row, who played around and mostly did nothing. A couple were
seen texting on their phones- or even eating in class! And then there are the
back row people. They did nothing, but pick their noses and talk. Nobody could
really hear them, especially the teacher. He seemed deaf in both ears.
 
"Hey, who's making all that noise...?" He finally managed to hear something for
once.
 
The class became silent, or somewhat. Whispers and laughter were filling the
air, and the teacher somehow didn't even notice? Or he might've not cared at
all. Nobody talked back, nor raise their hand. The teacher went back to facing
the chalkboard, continuing to write.
 
"Why did the school even hire him?" Noctis breathed out.
 
Prompto gave out a shrug and a grin. "Want him for 5 hours, or Mr.Izunia for 5
hours-"
 
"Yeah, you're right, he's better." Noctis formed his lips into a straight line,
making a poker-face. It made Prompto choke out a chuckle.
 
"You really hate Mr.Izunia, don't ya?"
 
"No shit I hate him..." Noctis used his right hand to scratch his scalp out of
frustration. "He gives me shitty marks for every presentation I do..." 
 
Prompto smiled, his teeth showing off his pearly whites. "We could play a prank
on him." He gleamed with a bright shine. 
 
"And run away as fast as we can? I doubt that'll happen..."
 
"Who knows? The majority of his clothes might slow him down." Prompto suggested
with a grin, causing the prince to snort and laugh the same time. Mr.Izunia
wore multiple layers of clothing. Everybody wondered how he never got hot in
them. Especially when the air conditioning breaks down in the hot heat, while
everyone pants and sweats, leaving the teacher looking normal as ever.
 
Noctis felt a bead of sweat trail down his forehead.
 
"Damn it's hot in here..." Noctis admitted. Talking about the heat, the prince
himself started to warm up, eventually getting sweaty. He started fanning
himself using one of his thin folders that were under his sweaty arms. Each
time he blew a gust of wind, the more he felt relaxed.
 
"Not as hot as me." Prompto grinned evilly, leaning back against his chair. He
put his hands together behind his neck, his grin growing wider and wider from
watching his friend's reaction.
 
The raven looked at his friend, deadpanning. "Really?" He raised his right
eyebrow. The prince's cheeks flushed quite of pastel pink. Noct didn't know if
it was the heat, or from Prompto's response. The blond took notice, his grin
turning into a duck lip shape. His eyes looked smug and his facial expression
seemed mischievous. Whipping out a phone from his pocket, he quickly faced it
to the prince.
 
"Say chocobo!"
 
"Wha-"
 
FLASH
 
A photo was taken.
 
"...Prom..." Noctis said his nickname. He blinked relentlessly, trying to get
rid of the blinding white light from his eyes.
 
"Yes, your Highness?" The freckled blond responded. He paid no attention to the
prince but staring at his phone's screen. Looking at Noct's surprised
expression was sincerely priceless. Prompto stuck out his tongue just a couple
centimetres, letting out a small snort.
 
The prince didn't reply back, but quickly snatched the blond's phone. Noct put
the phone to his right hand, stretching far enough for his classmate not to
reach. 
 
"Heeeey...!" The owner of the phone whined and pouted. He launched himself
forward, head on with the prince's forehead. Their breath hitched when they
finally knew what position they were in. Noctis quickly gave back Prompto's
phone, putting it onto his desk. The blond leant back, watching at Noctis was
leaning back all the way on his chair's hind legs, he almost fell. A couple
people seemed to notice, whispering, snickering or even taking photos on their
own phones.
 
The blond pulled back, satisfied.
 
The prince rubbed his lips together, forming a straight line. Prompto could
tell he was biting the inside of his cheek. Noct crossed his arms on his desk,
trying to seem "cool" or nothing even happened. The two are just friends. Buds
who make fun of each other, tease each other sarcastically, slap each other's
asses. Nothing weird with that...
 
right?
 
The teacher didn't seem to notice the commotion in the back of the class. 
 
Thank the lord. Noctis thought to himself. He took a deep breath, exhaling all
he had stuffed in his lungs. Prompto was snickering, checking his phone,
scrolling down with a touch of his thumb. "You look so cute."
 
"That's fucking gay," Noctis said in a sarcastic, cool voice. He didn't want to
seem like he appreciated the comment, right in front of his classmates.
 
Prompto chuckled. "Yeah, yeah." He continued to scroll down but then paused.
His thumb seemed to press on something. The screen was faced with the prince's
eyes to see. 
 
"Should I add the dog filter?" The blond tilted his head in innocent
curiosity. 
 
"What the hell? Isn't that a Snapchat thing? And no..." The prince replied. 
 
"You're no fun..." Prompto groaned, lying his forehead to his desk. "Whenever
we're in your room or mine, you seem so confident. But in public, everything's
completely different." The freckled teen asked seriously. He turned his head to
the right, facing the raven. His left temple was relaxing on his left arm and
the hand was currently being preoccupied scrolling up and down unknowingly,
showing off pictures that might've seemed inappropriate.
 
"...Royalty thing." Noctis replied, shifting his eyes left to right anxiously.
 
"You still post pictures of you on Facebook," The blond blew a gust of the wind
in front of his chocobo butt hair out the way. "oh yeah, and that filter was
horrible." Prompto reminded.
 
"It was just a grey one." Noct rolled his eyes.
 
Prompto stuck out his tongue. "You know nothing about photography."
 
Noctis snorted. "You always manhandle a phone with you all the time. No wonder
your storage is full."
 
The blond sat there, thinking out in space. "...True." He replied plainly.
 
They laughed.
 
The science teacher left the room, probably out to use the bathroom. He gave no
comment to the class. But even if he did, the class wouldn't listen. They never
listen anyway. Right after he left, a sound of boots stride across the floor.
 
The class heard the door opening, creaking loudly. It's sound echoed, awakening
any sleeping students. From easily seeing the person entering inside caused
Noctis' eyes to widen in disgust. He scowled, first one to quickly look away
before anybody else did. He preoccupied himself by turning on his phone and
playing with it, in order to look busy. He watched as students gaped their
mouths, gasping loudly and squealing. 
 
They all loved Mr.Izunia.
 
"Oh, geez..." Prompto deadpanned. He looked serious and angry.
 
"You hate him as much as I do?" Noctis took notice, raising his right brow.
 
"Eh-...guess so?" The blond replied slowly. His right hand lifted to the back
of his neck, scratching it.
 
When Mr.Izunia walked farther into the room, he was welcomed with smiles. The
students treated him as if he was a king. Yeah, and now they ignore Noct and
treat him just as a regular, shady student. The teacher went over to the desk,
placing his hands on it and leaning forward casually. He had a smug looking
grin plastered on his face. His eyes were darting up to the prince and blond.
 
Prompto took a deep breath, biting his bottom lip. He exhaled heavily, as his
teeth punctured the skin. Red liquid drew out and the taste of iron played with
the blond's taste buds. 
 
Noctis rolled his eyes, glaring back at the teacher. When Noct first met the
redhead, he'd expect him to be friendly, kind and allow students to do whatever
they'd like. It would be a piece of cake.
 
Not really.
 
"Oh, Noct...would you like what we were talking about on the board? Just as a
review." Mr.Izunia said mischievously. He had a plan up his long sleeves. The
amber-eyed man sat down in the leather chair, observing everything the prince
would do.The thing is the young raven wasn't even paying attention. The prince
gulped, swallowing a gallon load of saliva. His mouth felt dry right after. He
slowly got off his chair, not bothering to angrily reply back or make an
excuse. He truly had no escape. Walking to the chalkboard, his gaze met his
teacher's.
 
"Well?" He questioned.
 
The prince jolted from the sound of his voice. It boomed inside his brain,
echoing forevermore. Since he was up so close, Mr.Izunia's voice sounded so
loud and clear. Almost seductive. The raven picked up a piece of chalk, feeling
it's dusty, rough substance. Noct fruitlessly thought to himself on what the
teacher taught. 
 
"Don't you remember?" 
 
"I..." Noctis couldn't find the words to put in his mouth and vomit out.
 
"Oh dear...A+ for listening." Mr Izunia laughed at his own joke, causing the
class to laugh along. "Does detention sound like a decent punishment-"
 
"I've already got one right after school with y-" Noctis quickly covered his
mouth with both of his hands. He felt chalk trailing against his lips. It
tasted bitter and...chalky. Students in the class were whispering to the people
next to them.
 
"After school?"
 
"Did the prince do something?"
 
"Wonder what he did..."
 
"Bad boy prince doing the job right." One of them snickered.
 
Noctis wanted them to shut up. But he knew there was one person in the crowd
not talking. He looked back, seeing his blond friend. 
 
Currently preoccupied himself with his phone.
 
"Okay, maybe he wasn't the best choice..." Noctis deadpanned. He removed his
hands from his face, looking back at the chalkboard. When glancing back, he
took a glimpse of the teacher smirking. This fool was teasing him. And he knew
it. The raven gripped the chalk hard enough, it felt like it was about to snap
in half.
 
Mr.Izunia stood up, the sound of screeching of the chair being pushed back.
 
"Very well, then." Mr.Izunia had a smug face, looking straight at Noctis' eyes.
"Now, class," He began. It earned a wide-eyed raven, having an intense staring
contest with his teacher.
 
"do you like your teacher or not?"
 
They all raised their hands or either nodded, asides from Prompto, who was
still freaking preoccupied with his phone, where Noctis was sending gestures
and gazes of S.O.S.!
 
A grin formed on Mr.Izunia's face.
 
Noctis gritted his teeth, breathing through. He felt the cold air rush past his
pearly whites, getting a shiver down his spine.
 
 "Detention tomorrow it is, then."
 
The prince felt a cold shiver down his spine. Okay, okay. He could do this. Two
weeks of detention with Mr.Fleuret, along with today and tomorrow with his
asshole history teach. He could stuff it in, maybe side it with an excuse. This
was going to be fine.
 
Going...to be...fine.
 
No, no, it wasn't. Noctis was currently panicking on the spot!
 
"...I..." The young prince spoke softly, only Mr.Izunia to hear. Facing him, he
had a smug look on his face, which Noctis really wanted to punch and hope he'd
bleed. The young student lowered the chalk that was held by his index, middle
finger and thumb. He noticed his body was shivering. The raven never knew he
was that nervous.
 
"Haven't been listening-"
 
"Can I go to the washroom?" Yelled a feminine voice in the crowd.
 
Iris. Thank god...
 
The redhead sighed. "Indeed you may."
 
She lifted herself off of her seat, walking out the room with the door clicking
shut on her way out. 
 
"Now what was that you were saying-"
 
The bell rang.
 
Noctis couldn't believe but to scream in joy. Mr.Izunia had an irritated
expression on his face. Almost like Mr.Fleuret's face, who seemed to always be
glued with those squinting, judging eyes. Students raised themselves up,
exiting the room with chatter rising to the ceiling.
 
The prince quickly shuffled away awkwardly, hurrying to Prompto's side,
still fucking preoccupied with his phone! The prince had enough, using his
dominant hand, grabbing the device out the blond's fingertips.
 
"W-Wait-"
 
Looking deep into the screen had shown multiple, and many, many pictures of the
raven, either smiling, laughing or blushing. It left an awkward silence.
Prompto was trying to find his words, but they couldn't escape from his mouth.
He thought of excuses, flooding inside his mind.
 
"...Why-" The prince was cut off.
 
"School album! Y'know, for memories sake. Everybody's yearning for pics of
you!" Prompto quickly said.
 
"Not really sure why you need that many..."
 
"Well, duh. Again, doesn't everyone want a picture of the prince?" The blond
said. Noctis let out a short laugh.
 
"I guess they do? First off, if Mr.Izunia caught you with that, he'd probably
show it to the whole class, projected on a screen, to see And probably kick
your ass out of class." Noct joked. He grabbed his bag, sliding it over his
right shoulder. The blond jokingly pushed the prince's shoulder playfully.
 
The two exited the classroom, heading to their final period; visual arts.
 
Noctis could draw. He wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. Average. At least they
didn't look like some plane crash Prompto would think of.
 
 The majority of the people in the class took out their devices secretly,
taking pictures of him without their flash on. Honestly, they just liked him
mostly because, A: he's a prince, B: his appearanceA number of servants he's
got and D: all that rich shit he gets. The prince ignored that his picture was
being taken.
 
He was used to it. 
 
                                      ---
 
His first year in middle school, in an actual public school, where he didn't
need to have a private tutor for himself, was horrible. Students crowded him,
most likely girls wanting to be with him, and guys wanting to be like him.
Everybody seemed really boring. He was very well respected, never got into any
fights (which is good?) and was greeted by everybody with a bow. He watched as
other kids were being picked on, just because they were possibly poor, fat or
nerdy looking. 
 
At his first day at a public school, he immediately got into trouble. 
 
Noctis was sent to the principal's office, where he was to be picked up, not by
his father, but his advisor; Ignis. Noct would sometimes call Ignis by "Iggy"
or "Specs". Ignis was tempted to correct him, but later got used to it. At
home, he was scolded by his father, loud and clear through the corridors. The
prince scolded back, cursing- even threatening his father.
 
Noctis was forced into his room, locked up for two weeks, removed from his
public school and was sent private tutors. He wasn't even allowed to be greeted
by Ignis, or even Gladio for his combat training. His schedules were changed,
his studies longer and his social life shortened. 
 
It sucked.
 
After those two weeks, Noct was allowed to return back to his public school,
but transferred to a different one. He didn't really have any friends. To be
exact; he had none. During recess, he'd sometimes be at the back of the school
all alone. He would sometimes be greeted by a dog almost everyday. Students in
the window above would watch it happen, spreading rumours and murmurs
throughout the school.
 
"Who's that dog belong to?"
 
"Why does it always carry that red book?"
 
"Wait- the prince is writing something!"
 
"I wanna see!"
 
And so on and so forth. Noctis could hear them. He wasn't deaf or anything. The
times of mostly being alone and isolated from his classmates, Noct finally got
to the point to tell his father to transfer schools once again. Or even go back
to those awful private tutors.
 
Until one day...
 
"U-Uh, you're prince N-Noctis, right?" A blond, thick student shyly said. His
glance turned down to the ground, his thumbs twiddling.
 
"Yeah," Noctis replied. His emotions mixed; confusion and awkwardness. 
 
"U-Uhm, so I-" The blond walked over, but quickly fell to the ground. Noct's
eyes widened for this student's safety. Instinctively, he ran over, grabbing
his wrist. Boy, was he heavy. Noctis swore that his arms were about to tear
apart. Finally bringing the blond up, Noct panted, rubbing his forearms.
 
"You're heavy..." Noctis said with a grunt.
 
The blond's eyes looked straight into Noct's. His eyes darted with surprise.
 
The bell rung.
 
"Oh. Guess recess is over." The young prince started to walk away. "Uh, see you
later." He turned a corner, heading to class.
 
Prompto said with a quiet "Y-Yeah." and nodded his head. He looked at his
palms. Then to his stomach. He pulled the heavy belly fat, watching it get
pulled down by gravity. He slumped in shame.
 
His eyes glanced down to his feet-...
 
oh.
 
He couldn't see them. Right after, something snapped inside of his mind.
 
"Am I...really that fat?" Prompto thought to himself.
 
                                     ----
                                        
 
Prompto yawned, folding his arms behind his nape. His jaw extended and soon
slowly closed shut. "I'm sooooo tired..." He whined.
 
"You'll survive." Noct snorted.
 
Prompto rubbed his eyes to clear out his vision. "Are you sure? Ooh, but prince
charming Noctis, will you awaken me from my deep slumber?" He said in a more
feminine, higher pitched voice along with a snicker.
 
"Not ever in your millennium years, Sleeping Beauty." Noctis chuckled.
 
"Harsh. No wonder you're still clinging onto Lunafreya." 
 
"Hey. She's busy and I'm busy. I'm...not really in the mood for romance
anyway." Noctis tried defending himself awkwardly.
 
"Heard there's gonna be a prom dance. C'mon- you're a freaking prince! Of
course you've got to dance with someone..." Prompto puffed out both of his
cheeks as if he was a child. Noct snorted at his expression.
 
"No thanks." 
 
"Dance with guys, girls, eh, whatever..." Prompto shrugged.
 
"Isn't there King and Queen?" The prince questioned.
 
Prompto nodded. "Yeah. I'm highly sure you're gonna be King. I wonder who'll be
Queen this year, though..."
 
"Bet it'll be Luna." Noctis breathed out.
 
"Or maybe you?" Prompto let out a loud hyena chuckle and a large grin plastered
onto his face. His laughter was audible for wandering students in the hallway
to grab and take attention of.
 
"Shut up..." Noct rolled his eyes, smacking his friend's back. The prince
slowly shifted away from the other student's confused stares.
 
"I'm only kidding." Prompto shook his head.
 
"I...I know, it's just that," Noctis turned his head around. "in public?" He
turned his head around, squinting his eyes in disbelief.
 
"You really need to get out of that bubble of yours." The blond punched the
raven's shoulder gently.
 
"I'm not as active as you are, Prompto."
 
"Well...I guess that's true. You can run only run for fifty seconds before
getting tired."
 
 "Hey, hey. I can run at least a minute."
 
"You think so?" Prompto raised his right brow. He started running.
 
"What the- Prompto...!" Noct started chasing after him. Damn. For being such a
puny guy with little legs, he ran quickly. The young prince ran after him, his
footsteps quiet to hopefully not get into any trouble. His hair was getting in
his vision, blocking the majority of his sight.
 
Prompto suddenly stopped when he turned a corner. He backed up, turning around.
Noct didn't notice where was heading, just looking down at his shoes to help
navigate himself. Noctis collided, feeling gravity pull him down. 
 
"Oww..." Prompto hissed out. He prompted himself up with his elbows, to see the
position they were currently in. The prince, sitting on top of him, hovering
right over his crotch area. Noct barely got to notice, for his vision to be
cloudy and hair still in his face.
 
"Wait, what-" Noctis paused, his head looking up. Prompto did the same.
 
"Oh. What a pleasant surprise." Mr.Izunia said.
 
The raven had his hands on top of Prompto's shoulders. He didn't even realize
it! Taking them off, he pushed off of the blond. His cheeks were lit up with a
bright pink. "I-I'm sorry." He stuttered out.
 
Mr.izunia crouched down, his mouth leant close to the blond's ear. He whispered
something, out of the reach of Noctis' hearing. He gathered up his things, to
jump at the sudden gasp his friend made.
 
"You wouldn't..." He growled out.
 
"Maybe, maybe not?" The teacher said with a small grin playing on his lips.
 
"You're kidding-" Prompto was cut off.
 
"Prom?" Noctis questioned.
 
"Uh," Prompto got up. "it's nothing." The blond brushed himself off, quickly
heading over to the prince. He started pushing him away.
 
"Ah, ah. You forgot. Your friend has detention, does he not?"
 
Noct hung his head down. "Dammit...Prom, wait for me outside by the fountain
by-"
 
"It's two hours." Mr.Izunia interrupted.
 
Noctis sighed, let alone a quiet hiss escaping his lips. The prince was lost at
words.
 
"Just head home." He finally said.
 
"Noct, I'll wait by the fountain. If..." Prompto leant in. "if he does
anything-...please tell me." Prompto desperately said.
 
"But you'll be exhausted by when I come out," Noctis argued.
 
The teacher was quite amused by their conversation. A small smile formed on his
lips.
 
Prompto decided to stay, despite his friend's concerns.
 
"Shall we?" Mr.Izunia said, tilting his head to the left.
 
Noct gathered up his supplies, organizing them in his arms. He didn't bother
responding. Mr.Izunia turned on his heels. Prompto watched as the prince's gaze
faced down at the floor. The teacher's head turned over his shoulder, facing
the blond.
 
Prompto stuck out his tongue, pointing the middle finger.

Chapter Summary
     "Noct...do I have the right to call you that?" Mr.Izunia questions.
     "Yeah, sure, just not in public." Noctis' cheeks lit a bright shade
     of pink.
     Noctis felt pinned against the cold wall behind him. The young prince
     jolts in surprise. not giving hardly enough time to back up, a thumb
     and index finger grabs his chin gently. Mr.Izunia made a "tsk" sound,
     leaning close to Noct's ear. His warmth breath teased his skin.
     "You smell divine..."

"Review pages on 318 to 329," Mr.izunia said.
 
The young prince complied. Like he really had a choice. He brought out his
heavy history textbook, flipping through the pages. He leant his left cheek
onto a balled up fist, watching as pages go by. He stopped flipping them when
he met page #318.
 
He yawned, his eyes scrolling up and down. His pupils carved into the words
like a knife.
 
This was only two hours. Or more. He didn't really bother looking up at the
clock. His phone was taken away and put onto Mr.Izunia's desk. Right there,
ridiculing Noct to try to grab it when the teacher wouldn't be watching.
 
He had detentions with Mr.Fleuret as well. Noctis knew in his gut that his math
teacher would be extremely crossed. He would give out a math lecture, which
Noctis would never understand or listen to. His lowest mark had to be in math.
Especially in algebra.
 
Mr.Izunia was currently reading a book. He seemed deeply involved in the story.
His right elbow prompted onto his desk, as his right cheek leant against a
closed up fist. Noct let out a huff, finally understanding that he could not
escape.
 
"Finished your readings, Noct?" He questioned.
 
"...Almost." The prince slowly replied as he flipped a page. For some reason,
he allowed his teacher to call him by his nickname. Noctis didn't really mind
as much, as long as he didn't say it in public.
 
He felt a cold breeze against his skin. He looked up, to see that the windows
are shut. He wondered if it was the air conditioning, or the room was getting
colder for some odd reason. Noctis clicked his tongue, as he remembered about
returning back home. His father would scold him for literally getting
detention. Especially for a week from Mr.Fleuret.
 
"Cold?" Izunia chuckled.
 
"Kinda...?" Noctis raised his right brow and tilted his head to the left in an
unsure gesture. He took his jacket's collar in his right hand and pulled it
closer to his neck. 
 
"Hm." The teacher said as he watched his student adjust to the sudden coolness.
He couldn't feel a thing. Of course, it's mostly the cause of the number of
layers he wears. He would wear them in summer if he'd like. Some people would
steal a glance at him and wonder how he wouldn't be sweating under them. He
slowly shut his book and laid it gently onto his desk.
 
Noctis went back to reading, unaware of his teacher's actions. He couldn't hear
him get up from his seat and walk over.
 
 "Do you intend on taking summer school?" He randomly asks.
 
"I..." Before Noctis could reply, he hesitates to find an answer. "no, I don't
think so..." 
 
Mr.Izunia sighs in disappointment. "Pity."
 
"Well, mostly because of princely duties and I'm usually busy in that time of
the month," Noctis adds in.
 
"How is your father?" He started to get into personal questions.
 
"He's alright. Just busy."
 
"So, your blond friend; Prompto. What is he like?" 
 
"He's a close friend of mine. We've been together when we were young."
 
"What if I told you he was not human?" A smirk grew on the teacher's face.
 
"Er, what...?" Noctis said in disbelief. Mr.Izunia couldn't help but laugh.
 
"Your expressions are priceless." He chuckles. He bends over with his face all
over Noctis'. He felt his hot breath breathing on his skin. The young prince
felt awkward from the sudden stare. He felt intimidated and nervous. He slowly
pushed his chair back, trying to inch away bit by bit.
 
"Escaping? You can't really do that when you're under my watch. Especially when
you have no phone." He turns his head over his shoulder, glancing at Noct's
device. "Question: What do you think of me?"
 
"Many things." Noctis gritted his teeth and inhaled through them.
 
"Such as?"
 
"Weird, creepy, sadistic, strange, oily, and a way more that I cannot possibly
list under a minute," Noctis admitted.
 
"I see. Now you must wonder what I think of you?" Mr.Izunia pulled away,
leaving Noctis in a sweaty, flushed mess. The raven let a sigh of relief,
feeling the cold air against his cheeks. 
 
"Not really-"
 
"I think of you as...stubborn." The history teacher said, leaving Noctis
slightly pouting. "childish, quiet, shy, awkward and edgy." That caused Noctis
to form into a full pout. Mr.Izunia formed a grin ear to ear. He just loved to
look at Noctis' reactions. He found them hilarious and playful.
 
Noctis continued to look up at Ardyn and didn't bother to pay attention to what
he was doing. His fingers were touching the pages on his textbook, carelessly
scrapping the edges from a horrible habit he usually did.
 
"Look, I'll just continue my readings and you don't need to deal with me-
" Noctis cut himself off, as he was going to flip a page, but to cut his finger
by accident. It stung painfully. The young prince sucked on it as the pain
swelled.
 
"Oh, a cut. Allow me to aid you." Mr.Izunia said, as he took Noct's finger and
started to squeeze the blood out.
 
"A band-aid would be better," Noct said.
 
"Looks like I have none on me. The nurse's office might be helpful. Come now."
Mr.Izunia said and walked over to the door. 
 
"Your Highness." He said in a swooping bow. Noctis let out a scowl and rolled
his eyes. 
 
                                     ----
                                        
 After cleaning the blood up before an infection could start, (which wouldn't
really happen) Noctis carefully put the band-aid on, wrapping it around his
finger and disposed the pieces of plastic and paper into a nearby trashcan.
 
"How many friends do you have?" Ardyn randomly asked. Noctis jolted but then
hesitated.
 
"...In school or outside?"
 
"School."
 
"Well...there's Prompto, Gladiolus, Ignis, uh...I guess I can count in
Aranea...if I said Iris, Gladio would pummel me," Noctis tried thinking of
other students while Ardyn raised his right brow. "oh, Lunafreya and...I think
that's all."
 
"Isn't Fleuret in the reading club?"
 
"Yeah, I think she is. And cheerleading. She has her tryouts tomorrow and I'll
be watching from the bleachers."
 
"You know a lot about her. Is she close to you?"
 
"The two of us were childhood friends and we're very close together. But
nowhere near dating, though. Her brother would slaughter me." The prince
shivered.
 
"Do you know who her brother is?"
 
"Yeah, he's Mr.Fleuret. You know, my math teacher?" 
 
"Oh? I never knew they were siblings." Ardyn lied. He just wanted to continue
the conversation with Noctis. 
 
 "It's a little obvious that they are. Both have the same aspects, last name
and they go in the same car."
 
"I see. So you do observe them a lot." Ardyn smirked.
 
"What, I-...no." Noctis shook his head. "I just know Luna a lot and she invites
me over and I usually see her brother there." The raven tried to defend himself
but failed. He used to like Luna. He once asked her to dance with him in middle
school. They were considered as the school's couple. They would "marry each
other" and "have a beautiful family" in the future.
 
When they were in middle school, Lunafreya invited Noctis to come over. Once he
stepped through the door, he was hit by a whiff of an unknown cologne. Whatever
it was, it was addictive.
 
"Caelum."
 
Noctis didn't say anything. He was too afraid to.
 
 
"Hey, Noct. Come on upstairs!" Luna called out.
 
 Ravus' glare tightened on Noct's frame. He looked up and down, judging him at
first glance. Noctis breathed heavily, feeling pressured. He kept his mouth
shut and tried to find something busy to do. He was so distracted by the smell.
It smelled amazing. The scent was coming from Ravus. He wanted to shove his
head into his chest and inhale the smell.
 
"Noct?" Luna walked down the stairs, wondering what was wrong with his friend.
 
"H-Huh?" Noctis blinked twice, snapping back into reality. "W...Where am I?"
 
"You're at my house, of course! I've got two pet dogs I want to show you. I
adopted them yesterday. Come with me." Luna spun around and headed upstairs
once again. Noct nodded his head and said a quick "Okay." and started to follow
her. He felt Ravus glancing at him. Noctis knew that he was protective. Luna
would sometimes talk about him and say that he was being a "prissy person",
"overprotective" and "rude to other people".
 
"Ravus? Could you help me tend the garden?" His mother called out. Noct thanked
the Six that happened.
 
"Yes, mother," Ravus replied, heading over to her.
 
                                     ----
 
 
 "Snapping back into reality, Noctis?" Ardyn questioned.
 
"Ah-...yeah." Noct nodded his head.
 
Ardyn sniffed the air. "Do you smell that?"
 
"...Smell what?" The prince took a whiff. Nothing rung a bell. "I can't smell
anything."
 
"It's coming from you."
 
"...I hope that's not an insult-"
 
"Oh, it isn't. Take it as a compliment. Are you wearing any deodorant or a
cologne of some sort?"
 
"I'm not wearing any...I think you're just imagining-"
 
"Noct...do I have the right to call you that?" Mr.Izunia questions.
 
"Yeah, sure, just not in public." Noctis' cheeks lit a bright shade of pink.
 
Noctis felt pinned against the cold wall behind him. The young prince jolts in
surprise. not giving hardly enough time to back up, a thumb and index finger
enough time to back up, a thumb and index finger grabs his chin gently.
Mr.Izunia made a "tsk" sound, leaning close to Noct's ear. His warmth breath
teased his skin.
 
"You smell divine..."
 
Small noises escaped Noct's mouth, barely enough to form words.
 
"Wonder how you taste like."
 
"Wha...what the hell? You're my fucking teacher-"
 
A kiss was cast onto his lip, but only for a short period of time.
Mr.Izuniapulled back with Noctis spitting out saliva like a child. "You
pedo...I-I'll tell my father and I'll call the cops!" Noctis yelled out as he
rubbed his lips using the back of his hand. He was truly disgusted- this man.
 
Was his fucking teacher.
 
"Teacher? Please, call me Ardyn."
 
And out of the seven billion men and women in the world, he had to be the
chosen one.
 
"Hmmm, call the cops, you say? Isn't there a way to, oh, I'm not so sure-
regret that thought?"
 
"Well, Ardyn. How can-"
 
Another kiss was cast onto Noctis' lips. The prince blinked twice, taking a few
seconds into realising what was happening. The young student pushed and pushed
but couldn't remove his teacher off of his face. Mr.Izunia's hands were placed
onto his pale face, pulling him closer. He felt their saliva mixing together.
It was disturbing. Noctis didn't like it but at the same time; he did.
 
It felt weird and warm inside of his stomach.
 
Warm butterflies fluttering around.
 
Noctis felt a slobber of saliva dripping down his chin and onto his shirt. He
let out a whimper, his eyes watery and tearing up. Salty droplets swore to fall
down, on the verge of falling.
 
The kiss lasted- for what, seconds, minutes, hours?
 
it felt so long, Noctis thought it went on for an hour. His face was completely
tomato red, head to toe. His arms gained goosebumps when he felt Ardyn's hand
slowly trickle down to his hip.
 
The young prince couldn't breathe. Instead, he breathed using his mouth instead
of his nose. Ardyn found it adorable when Noctis tried gasping for air each and
every time, but failed miserably. Noct's hands raised, pushing his teacher's
chest, away from him. Hopefully a couple meters back. The young prince gasped
for air, his lungs being filled every time.
 
"...What the hell is wrong with you!?" Noct screeched.
 
Ardyn had a smug grin on his face like he just succeeded in something. 
 
Noct wiped his lips with the back of his hand. "You're disgusting..." He
hissed. He cannot believe his history teacher seriously just kissed him. Has he
been feeling this way all the time? When he first entered high school? Noctis
couldn't believe how oblivious and clueless he was.
 
"I fucking hate you...I'm telling my dad-"
 
"Your father?" Ardyn chuckled. "Really, my dear? If you decided to threaten me
with that, I'll threaten you too." He gave an awful sinister grin. "How
about...this? I erase and change your grades below fifty, along with those
friends of yours."
 
"Y...You're kidding, right?" Noctis squinted his eyes. Turning his grades all
the way down? That was low. This fucking bastard. He couldn't even graduate
without the proper marks. 
 
"Does it sound look I'm joking?" Ardyn cocked his head to the side. His eyes
glowed a bright amber colour in the light. It was...almost scary and eerie.
Noctis stuttered out a response, which barely escaped his throat.
 
"Tell me you are..." Noct was about to beg.
 
"I'm not. Now tell me. Are you going to tattle-tail on me? You better keep that
mouth shut." Ardyn stroked the young prince's cheek using his thumb. It was
plump and soft as a baby's bottom. He was so cute when he shut his left eye.
 
"..I-I won't say a word."

End Notes
     This is basically a lot of character development. I just want to
     bring out the majority of them, and show their looks and
     personalities. They might be a LITTLE BIT OOC, but I hope you guys
     won't mind! (the characters are really cheesy, and I may edit it. I'm
     sorry if it ends up really...RUSHED. I truly hate it whenever I rush
     stuff- it's just a habit. I just gotta add it in, I'm so frickin'
     sorry...! ;--;)
     Anyway, next chapter MIGHT be worked on right after Crazy in Love's
     chapter 3 gets posted?
     Let's hope for the best!
