#noctis ask

-Thanks so much!!!!! This did take a bit of creativity and stretching of the game’s plot. I could have done this a few different ways but I chose a way that DOES involve spoilers. If you would like a more spoiler-free take on this then let me know, I’ll see what I can whip up. But, for now, I tried to stick with the game’s universe as much as possible. Also sorry for such a late response. I’ve had writer’s block and then tumblr lost your ask! Hope you enjoy :)

WARNING: SPOILERS!!!!!!

Prompto:

So in this scenario, I’m going with the assumption that they knew their s/o was immortal from the get go, or at least before they got together. This chocobro, however, is gonna be full of sooo many questions. He’ll be chewing their ear off asking how they became immortal, how old are they, do they remember such and such events occurring in history, and so on… He’ll look up to you and respect the wisdom that comes with being immortal, but at the same time he’s going to realize the seriousness and the loneliness it brings. He’ll definitely fret about it much more than he lets on. He knows that you’ve likely seen and lost a lot, and that, someday, he’ll just be a memory for you. Therefore, he’s going to do everything in his power to keep you smiling. He’ll want the memories of your love to be as everlasting as you are, so he’s gonna start by seriously taking up scrapbooking to pair with his love of photography.

He’ll keep stacks of scrapbooks with pictures of the two of you, recording every special moment so you’ll have his memory with you always. He won’t really want to talk to you about his actual reasoning behind his new hobby of tediously organizing every photograph, no need to remind you of what you both already know. He will, however, ask for your opinion a lot. Maybe you’re catching up with a tv show on the couch and he’s on the floor next to you, cutting up pictures and asking you what colors go together best on what page, what border it should have, etc… He’ll live to see you smile, and to make sure that despite everything, you’ll have known something as nice as what you both have.

As you follow the group around with your immortal badassery, you eventually stumble upon an explanation for your backstory, a way for you to finally discover how you got to become immortal and outlive all your loved ones. As it turns out, the crystal had lent you everlasting life for the purpose of assisting the future king in fighting the scrouge. You’d spent years misguided. The crystal knew your worth, but for whatever reason it had lacked guidance. It wasn’t until you’d met Prompto that your purpose began to fall into place. Prompto introduced you to the king, and it only felt natural for you to come along, additionally wanting to spend as much time with Prompto as possible.

At the final storm of the citadel, when Noctis was set to fight the darkness and return the light to Insomnia once more, the four of you stood to keep the daemons back as Noctis went to fill his own prophecy. The fight was intense, just trying to buy time until the dawn finally broke, until it was all finally over. You noticed Prompto collapse, overwhelmed by the overbearing horde. You had depleted the last of your restoratives, and the reality of this moment coming so soon devastated you. You clung to him as his eyes began to fade, crying and pleading with the gods, when you heard a whisper in your ear. Perhaps it wasn’t even a whisper, but a feeling. That feeling you get in dreams when you know something to be the truth even when it’s unspoken. You knew that your gift could be re-given. You breathed life into him half expecting to die yourself, but at that exact moment you couldn’t care less. He just had to live, damn it! Then his chest expanded, his eyes opening slowly as he took in a deep breath. Somehow, the gods had allowed it. Perhaps it was a gift for helping defeat the scourge while still remaining pure. Either way, it was marvelous, and you thanked them.

It would take a long time for Prompto to move on from the events of the battle. You’d help him cope with his loses and soon he’d be able to finally process the concept of his own immortality. His old light would renew, realizing that he would be able to spend forever beside you. Naturally, he’d want to do everything in his power to protect the Kingdom of Lucis afterwards, for his best friend. He’d love for you to stand by his side. But even if you go off on your own adventures from time to time he’ll always be there waiting. The bond you both share will be unlike anything that anyone else can understand, since it is something that almost no one else shares. And no matter what, you both know you always have each other.

Noctis:

Knowing that the person he loves is immortal would be really tough on Noctis at first. He’d hate that he couldn’t stand by them until the very end, dwelling on the fact that he won’t always be there for them. His angst about it could add some tension to the relationship, but at the end of the day he’s going to suck it up, apologize for acting so ridiculous, and try and just be there for his s/o. He knows that to you, his time here is short, and he’ll realize after a good pout that he’ll regret every moment he isn’t trying to make it last.

You’ll notice him fight with himself to show more affection, something that can be hard for him yet he gets how important it is. He acts casual enough, treating you like he would any mortal partner, but deep inside he’s terrified. He’s scared of disappointing you. Of his memory living on forever with you as something fleeting and insignificant. He knows he can be oblivious, not thinking about how others around him are feeling since he gets caught up so easily in his own shit. It will be a big constructive project on his character, but he’ll do his best to start paying close attention to your wants and needs. He might not be very intuitive, but he’ll ask constantly how you’re feeling. If there’s anything more he can do for you.

Of course, as someone who can’t be killed and who also happens to be in love with the prince himself, you’d want to be there to protect him at all times. For most of your life, being the only immortal you’d ever met made you feel a little lost. You’d always pondered your perpetuity, wondering what had granted you this grand and mysterious gift. It’s on this journey with the four boys that you discover you were never lost, you’ve been on the right path all along.

As it turns out, the crystal is well aware of it’s own tendency of making mistakes. After the corruption of Ardyn, the crystal decided it could use a backup plan for its backup plan, so to speak, in the event that the young King of Lucis somehow failed. Therefore, it brought about a new healer, someone more common and without influence over an entire kingdom. You learned that you could banish the presence of daemons. Although the power took its toll, you were able to use it greatly to your advantage. This power, along with the presence of your immortality, is what lead Noctis to believe that your gift was something significantly deliberate.

Fast forward ten years. They pass rather quickly for you, although you miss Noctis like hell, damning the passing of time that was so significant to his mortal form. He comes back to the darkness and you just know, you can feel that he’s preparing to die, and you refuse to accept it. You’re immortal, right? Does the scourge even have a chance against you? You bat away all thoughts of the consequences of Ardyn’s fate, knowing that no matter what happens you’re going to keep Noctis alive.

As you storm the citadel, Noctis preparing for his prophecy to be fulfilled, you refuse to let him go alone, chasing up the steps after him despite his violent protests. Gladio, Ignis, Prompto, they all need you, but you’ve already made up your mind and what they hell is he gonna do right now to stop you? The ancestors initially try to ignore your presence, but you stand your ground, guarding Noctis with every inch of your being. You somehow manage yourself in between their line of attack, calling attention to the gods who then, decide to intervene. Go you, you’ve just managed to make the gods give a fuck. Somehow, an exception is made, the blood price falling to Ardyn and the gift of his immortality being bestowed in turn, upon the young King of Lucis as a result of your intervention.
