#...sorry?

y’know my regisson time travel thing One More Light, the one where Nyx sacrifices himself in Noct’s place and then they both get thrown back in time by Bahamut? Imagine a soulmate au of that where Nyx and Noct are platonic soulmates alongside being brothers. And, more specifically, imagine a soulmate au where the last words that your soulmate will say to you are written on your skin.

imagine Noct growing up with the words “live well and be happy, Noct, and know that I will always watch over you” on his body, the knowledge that he is loved. imagine how he never actually hears those words, because they are spoken to him while he slept, a promise from one brohter to another. imagine how noct doesn’t know that nyx is his soulmate

and imagine nyx, with the words “that’s enough, Nyx, I said no” scrawled out on his skin. imagine the way that his heart must have broken, hearing those words from his little brother, and how they must have hardened his resolve. because those were the last words that noct would ever say to him and so of course he went through with it. imagine him sitting at his soulmates, his brothers, bedside and choosing his words so carefully because he wants his brother to know that nyx loved him more than anything

nyx dies for his soulmate, for his brother, and noct doesn’t know until it is far too late. until they come for his body and see the words etched on his skin.
