I dunno, I'm spitballin'. ❞

He nudged Stella lightly with his knee, mischief in his smile and his eyes.

❝ I'll make the first move. I'll write to him and see what he's got planned for his birthday. that way we're not stepping over any toes, yeah? ❞

❝ with his birthday coming up, I'm not saying we just, like, shove 'em into a closet and yell '𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦! 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴!' — but we can make something happen. something small. something nice. get them in the same place at the same time. some cake, some cinnamon rolls, some candlelight. maybe music.

Adored. Cared for like he deserved.

Ardyn's eyes were like someone had pulled off a layer of corruption and let the light shine through.

Prompto lowered the phone and glanced at Stella.

❝ whatever it is, she brings it out in him. and that's a big deal. ❞

He took a sip of boba, then added,

His smile in the photo was softer. Honest. Shy.

And it made something in Prompto grow warm.

❝ maybe it's a magic thing? a soul thing? it's... ❞ he murmured and trailed off. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, he wanted to say. A life where Ardyn was truly chosen, with someone by his side.

however that works. and his eyes are a special kind of blue here. ❞

It wasn't just the eyes that intrigued him, though they did take most of his attention. Ardyn's smile stuck with him too. The chancellor's smile often came in a wry, '𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵' way. But this wasn't that.

as if proximity would make the moment even clearer for them.

Stella asked what it could mean.

❝ no clue, ❞ he answered, his voice hushed.

❝ never happened before. I thought his eyes were always amber. his brother had blue eyes, but that could just be recessive genes showing for either of them,

Prompto shifted on the bed beside Stella, with the boba straw in his teeth. He glanced to her and the phone. He saw the little gasp, her hand to her mouth, the widening of her eyes.

Yeah, that was it.

He leaned closer to her. His shoulder brushed hers. He adjusted the screen a little more,

this wasn’t a dream he’d wake up from.

❝ ...I'm really glad you're here.❞

There was an itch in his palm where the phone wanted to be, but he wouldn't bring it back out. This wasn't a moment he wanted behind glass. It was one he wanted to hold onto with his own two hands.
August 8, 2025 at 1:14 AM
but you did. and I guess I never forgot it. ❞

A crooked, almost disbelieving smile tugged at his lips as he shook his head, half-laughing under his breath.

❝ guess the gods have got a sense of humor after all. 'cause here you are. and I, ❞ he broke off, glancing at her like he still wasn’t sure

He remembered sitting on his bed. Reading those same words. Feeling that whoever had written them understood him in a way no one else did.

Now here she was.

❝ ...you said that once, ❞ he finally managed, voice quieter now. ❝ in a letter. back when I... didn’t really think anyone could see me.

+
August 8, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Something from years ago, inked in handwriting he'd read over and over until he knew every loop and curve by heart.

He’d kept that letter. Still had it tucked away with the others in a little box. That box survived moves, Crownsguard dorm inspections, and who knows what else.

+
August 8, 2025 at 1:14 AM
For a moment, all Prompto could do was stare. Like her words had brushed right past his ears and gone straight to his heart.

He remembered.

Not instantly. Not with the lightning-bolt clarity in romance movies. But he remembered.

August 8, 2025 at 1:14 AM
His blue-violet gaze was uncertain, but sincere. ❝ if you wanna keep the mystery going about who you are, that's fair. but I'm still glad I met you tonight. just... throwing that out there. ❞
July 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
shy all of a sudden.

❝ yeah, my name ain't the most noble sounding. it's even kinda weird, but it's mine. ❞ He'd written the same thing to Stella, more or less. It wasn't less true since the last time he'd said it.

His gaze then flicked up to meet the young woman's.

+
July 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
He nodded.

❝ Prompto, ❞ he said. The name felt small compared to the weight of the moment, but he gave it anyway. And if she asked for everything he had, he'd give her that too, honestly. ❝ Argentum, if we’re going full disclosure. ❞

He paused and looked down. He rubbed the back of his neck,

it made his throat feel tight and his chest feel full.

Then he offered to give his name to her, and she accepted the offer. He cast the thread first, but her confirmation felt like a blessing. Or a spell. Something sacred, like that.

His mouth curved in a smile. It was sheepish and warm.

+
July 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Even if he didn't know what it was just yet.

There were things she said that stuck in his ribs. In the hollow places he didn't know were waiting to be filled. Peace, tranquility. Words like that, said with her voice and with her gaze the dreamiest shade of his favorite color...

+
July 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
To be honest, Prompto didn't know why certain things struck him as beautiful. Only that they did, and he saw it, and felt it, and wanted to catch it before the feeling faded. Put words to it, too, if he could. This quiet, this moment beside the nameless star? It meant something.

+
July 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
He was still gonna milk this, though. So for now, he poked Ardyn's chest, right over where his heart was meant to be.

❝ not to worry, I can space those kisses out so I don't take your breath away all at once. ❞
July 30, 2025 at 8:57 PM
that you've only passed out from such breathtaking smooches? ❞

There was laughter in his words, but there was warmth in it too. He knew enough to see how careful Ardyn was. When it came to being vulnerable around others, caution was right. But Prompto would be gentle. It was only right.

+
July 30, 2025 at 8:57 PM
There was no chance of eavesdropping. Still, he liked the closeness.

❝ ooh, should I be worried about my immortal date not breathing every time I kiss him? I mean, I could make CPR part of the evening, but how would I explain to the waiter at the fancy restaurant we'll go to,
