Promnyx - "I can't believe you just straight up told Nyx Ulric, Insomnias hero, that I have a crush in him" Prompto grumbled, red as a tomato, as he walked beside Noctis.
So I did a bit of a different spin on this and did it from Noctis’s POV and I actually like how it turned out? Hopefully you do, too!

“Ican’t believe you just straight up told Nyx Ulric, Insomnia’s hero, that I havea crush on him,” Prompto grumbled, red as a tomato, as he walked besideNoctis. The prince grinned, though most of it was concealed beneath his scarf,and he barked a laugh at his best friend’s expense, causing Prompto to flustereven more.
“NOCT!”
“Sorry!It just slipped out!” Noctis tried to reason, tried to apologize, because yeah,it was a dick move, but it could have gone so much worse. “Besides, he didn’texactly complain about it, did he?”
“That’snot the point!” A pout protruded on Prompto’s lips, though Noctis couldn’t besure if it was from the cold or the embarrassment. “You’re not supposed to tellyour best friend’s super ultra-gay crush that they like them! You’ve betrayedme! I’m wounded, Noct!” Dramatically, Prompto brought his hands to his chestand fell into Noctis’s side, clinging to him desperately as he pretended towail about his woes. Still, Noctis found the humor in his friend’s actions, andhe patted his beanie covered head.
“You’reso extra,” he teased. “You didn’t even give him a chance to respond before youdragged me out of the bar. For all you know he was about to whisk you off your feetand carry you to happily ever after.” Prompto righted himself and tossed anunamused glare in his direction before turning his attention to his phone.
“Whatever,dude. He probably-“ The faint sound of Prompto’s phone vibrating cut him offmid-sentence and his jaw dropped, eyes wide, and a look of panic and fearblanched his features. Noctis, too, felt himself stiffen upon seeing his face.
“Hey,what’s up?” No sooner had the words left his mouth did Prompto shove his phoneinto his face. His eyes scanned the message quickly before he darted hisattention back over to Prompto, his grin firmly back in place, clearly moreamused than the blond.
Crowe (11:14 PM):Heads up. Nyx is heading your way. Pucker up,lover boy! ;)
“I’mgonna hurl,” Prompto declared quietly, clutching his stomach.
“You arenot,” the prince drawled and rolled his eyes. “You’re gonna man up and getyourself a hot boyfriend.” He patted Prompto’s cheeks and shook him gently,locking their eyes in an intense, meaningful gaze. “Look, I know you don’tthink you’re worthy of ‘Insomnia’s Hero’, or whatever, but you’re too hard onyourself. Shouldn’t he be free to choose?” Color rushed back to Prompto’scheeks and he flushed hard, warming his otherwise cold body. The winter air wasno joke this season.
“You’rea great guy, Prompto. Nyx would be so lucky to snag you for himself.” A genuinesmile graced Noctis’s lips and he let his hands fall back into the pockets ofhis jacket. Whether his pep talk truly helped Prompto or not was debatable, buthe certainly seemed more at ease, even as they heard the crunch of snow andhasty footfalls come up behind them. They both turned to wave to Nyx.
“I’llhave Ignis come get me. Text me, okay?” Prompto nodded, and Noctis began towalk off without him. He pulled out his phone, pressing the speed dial forIgnis.
“Noct!”He turned to see Prompto waving at him, smiling as Nyx came to a stop besidehim. “Thanks!”
Therewas a definite blush that Noctis would have been able to see for miles on theboy’s cheeks, but he turned to Nyx and allowed him to put his arm around hisshoulders, walking back the opposite direction. It was a strange feeling,Noctis thought, to see his best friend’s time occupied with someone other thanhim. He let the feeling settle in the pit of his stomach as he waited for Ignisto pick him up.

The nextmorning, Nyx awoke to a message from the prince. It wasn’t uncommon, though hehad to wonder why? Training? Meeting up? He could only fathom. He flipped hisphone open and immediately barked out a laugh upon reading the message.
Prince No-Ass (7:38 AM):Break his heart and I will break youreverything else.
Lookingat the sleeping blond to his right, Nyx smiled. Nah, he’d let him sleep, andlet the prince flounder in his protectiveness for a little while longer as heslid back into the pillows and draped an arm over his little boyfriend.
