Farewell, Loyal Caretaker
It’s only been a couple of weeks since his majesty Noctis had passed on his throne.
When Gladio and Prompto managed to get to the hall that late afternoon, at sundown all they found was the Caretaker colapsed on the cold marble floor, in the feet of the king, head in his lap and cheek pressed to a cold palm.
Ignis fell sick. Badly sick. Fever and cold taking turns throughout the day. He couldn’t stomach anything they forced in his mouth, his unseeing eyes dripping hot tears down his face at almost all times.
He refused to talk. Had no strenght as his body quickly started weakening and leaving him powerless.
For the first time in weeks he got on his feet and thanked his friends for helping him take a shower. It was getting better. He ate a little bit, drank some water, washed and put on nice new satin pjs to bed. Put on some nice scent on his skin... and he smiled, faintly, his cheeks howel, gifting his friends with something nice to remember him.
When he left him to sleep. Ignis pulled out an old t-shirt from his cupboard that once belonged to Noct. A dairy that the king had left for him and holding them close, he drifted off to sleep.
“Ignis” A happy voice came from behind him. He was in a green flower field with a cool breeze caressing his skin. He turned to face the voice and there he was... Noctis, young and beautiful just like before, smiling and so much alive.
“My love.” Ignis smiled brighter than he ever did and as the green grass tickled his feet he ran up to his lover, sweeped him up in his arms and pulled him in a warm loving kiss.
That’s all he ever wanted.
“I’ve been waiting for you. Come with me... i missed you.” Noct beamed at him, the sun catching in his beautiful eyes and the black locks of his hair.
Their fingers linked together and Ignis felt a rush of warmth and love and peace...He let himself being pulled and followed his lover to the brightness at the horizon.
That morning, Prompto heavily sat at the edge of the bed as Gladio gently took Ignis’ cold hand. The men looked at him silently and knew that Ignis followed their dear king to somewhere warmer and happier.
