     Luna seemed troubled after Noctis suggested going to bed to rest for tomorrow — it threw him off initially, then made him worry as he watched her struggle visibly. Yet as he was about to ask what was wrong, she told him that she wanted to tell him something. He gave a nod, trying to reassure her that whatever it was, it would be fine, that there would be no need for her to struggle this much, but he couldn’t shake the concerned expression off his face so easily.

     He listened intently to what she had to say and his heart beat faster with every word added. Noctis was more than happy that it was him she asked out of all people ( like her brother, for example ) to accompany her on this long journey as her guardian. She was his dearest friend since they were kids, and it warmed his heart to hear she thought the same of him. It wasn’t that he didn’t know, it was just… nice to hear.

     Her next words though… he didn’t expect to hear them from her. Sure, friendship was some kind of love as well, but there was something about the way she voiced it combined with the look on her face that made Noctis almost freeze in disbelief. Lips parted, but he didn’t know what to say.

     He loved her, too. For quite some time now, he looked at her as more than just a childhood friend, and yet, he never dared to confess that he felt this way about her due to being scared of losing her or weirding her out or whatever stupid thing fear might’ve whispered into his ears. Just staying friends was more than alright with him too — it wouldn’t change how much he cared about her, and he wouldn’t ever stop supporting her and her dreams and being there for her when she needed it.

          “Luna…”, Noctis finally said, though that seemed to be all. He was still a little unsure, for his mind told him she only meant she loved him as a dear friend, while his heart told him it was the same love he felt for her. He gazed into her eyes, hesitant and slowly lifting his hand to gently place it on her cheek. Thumb caressed the soft skin as he gave her a soft smile, then he pulled her into his embrace with the other, free arm that was previously around her back.

     He still didn’t know what to say ( or maybe he was just too shy ), but he hoped his actions showed her that those feelings were mutual.

Her brother often told her that she wore her heart on her sleeve. It was always out of worry for his sister, hoping to shield her from the world’s harsh realities. Right now, however, she had her heart in her hands. She wasn’t bearing it for the rest of the world to see, it was just for Noctis. It was only ever for him.

The beating in her chest quickened, anxiety beginning to rear it’s head as she waited for him to respond. It felt as though the Fayth were slowing down time to purposefully torment her in this moment. Still, she held her gaze, hoping for some kind of sign that he understood what she meant. Understanding of what she was giving to him. She knew that there was the sliver of possibility that she could have been reading everything wrong. That maybe he wasn’t going to reciprocate these feelings that she’s presenting to him.

Being a Summoner meant many things, giving part of yourself to the rest of the world was one of them. There was little of a Summoner that didn’t belong to those they swore to save. One that they were able to keep safely locked away so that they may give it to whomever they deem fit. It was one of the things that her mother had taught her before disappearing.

And then he smiled. A touch to her cheek that brought on her own smile, her own hand lifting up to lightly touch the back of his. She wasn’t quite expecting the embrace (though admittedly she expected something a little different), but it was enough for her to know. Noctis always had a hard time expressing his feelings, so he did other things to convey them. This embrace was enough of an answer for her.

Though it wasn’t quite what she was looking for. Luna pulled back from the embrace just enough to take his face in both of her hands. She brought his face closer to hers before placing a soft kiss on his lips.

     Even after he was already seated and beginning to operate the boat to start, Noctis’ mind still lingered on the shared warmth and embrace from before. It was what he wanted for so long, craved without even admitting it to himself when he was younger. Back then he already knew, but now he knew for sure that he wants to spend any time he’s got left in this world by Luna’s side. They’ve been forcefully parted for far too long, and now was the time to finally make up for it.

     Not long after the boat began moving across the sea, Luna requested for Noctis to tell her about his friends. Over the course of their journey though, they became more than just plain friends to him — they were his brothers as Cid had said a felt eternity ago. All the hardships they went through and endured together brought them closer, and those bonds weren’t something that even a long disappearance of one of them could scratch.

     Noctis couldn’t help but wonder how they were doing. If they missed him as he missed them.

          “Hm, you know— I think it might be best if you meet them in person and see for yourself. Whatever I’d tell you might not do them justice”, he chuckled.

The hum Luna had let out mostly likely went unheard over the boat moving through the waves. Her eyes went out towards the coast, thinking of how wonderful it will be to no longer have to see the dreaded thing. For whatever reason, the sea no longer brought as much solace as it used to. Her hands continued to idly pet Umbra behind his ears as she looked back towards Noctis with another small smile.

She knew that he had grand adventures with those three, perhaps he was right though. With how much of a personality Prompto had through his letters, she was sure it was far brighter in person than it was on paper. It would seem the same can be said about the other two as well. Luna would have to thank them for all being there for him when she could not.

“Perhaps you’re right. I do hope I get to finally try Ignis’ famous cooking, you’ve gotten me quite curious about it from all of your letters.” Though much couldn’t really be said about her currently appetite. She was still getting all of her senses back, it was hard to gauge any further on such a human need currently.

He sneaks up from behind, only to quickly put a shiny new necklace with a light blue crystal pendant on her before snaking his arms around her waist. "Happy Birthday, Luna.", he whispers in her ear before placing a soft kiss below it. They linger like this for a while, just taking in each other's warmth - then Noctis pulls away so he can properly face her. "I have more... presents waiting for you, but they're a surprise." He grins, holding his hand in her direction. "Come with me now?"

The feeling of cold metal around her neck pulled her thoughts away from her papers. A small gasp escaping her as one of her hands fly up to touch the pendant, finally looking down to marvel at it. Lunafreya couldn’t stop the smile from appearing on her face even if she wanted to. She let out a small laugh as she twisted the pendant between in fingers, admiring the shine it gave. Her other hand finally put the papers down on the desk, bringing it back up to rest on his arms. 

“Noctis, this is beautiful, you didn’t…” She stopped herself from speaking further, knowing it was probably moot at this point. Instead, Lunafreya let out yet another laugh, shaking her head as she enjoyed his warmth. When he began to pull away, she took the opportunity to face him so she could give proper thanks. Though it would seem that the necklace was just a precursor to whatever else he had in store for her.

Her smile grew as she grabbed his hand, her fingers intertwining with Noctis’. “You seem to have this all planned out.” She laughed, reaching up to kiss his cheek. “Of course I’ll come with you. I always will.”

happy birthday luna! | @dawnryse

     It was nice, just sitting together like this, laughing and enjoying themselves like they didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, Noctis always had the truth in the back of his mind, but he wouldn’t let that bring them down now. With the journey ahead, they should focus on not just obtaining aeons as quickly as possible but also enjoy the places they’ve never been before while they could, without wasting too much time. What Luna set out to do was important after all — and Noctis’ job being her guardian was as well. Still, he wanted to make sure they would have an enjoyable time anywhere they went on this journey, until they would reach Zanarkand, which was still far far away.

     Luna’s laughter stopped abruptly, which caused Noctis’ to cease as well, and them both to stare at each other for a moment until she cleared her throat. Was she embarrassed? Either way, Noctis silently smiled to himself as he thought that was cute, but this wasn’t the first time he’d felt this way. He adored Luna since they were just kids, they would always play together and laugh a lot, so their laughter just moments ago brought those memories back, only making his smile last.

          “Hm, I can’t say. Guess we’ll see when we get there. Though I heard that Kilika’s supposed to be very warm, more so than here. Maybe they got beaches there too?” He wondered, though Luna’s next words made Noctis grow a little… melancholic again. Knowing what will await in Zanarkand, at the end, didn’t help. as guardian, he had to know, but… it was always in the back of his head. He couldn’t stop coming back to these thoughts, but he also didn’t want to remind Luna all the time. He wanted her to be happy, to enjoy this journey rather than just exhausting herself from praying to all the fayth ahead.

     As she leaned closer, he hesitantly put his arm around her. He had already wasted too much time not telling her how she made him feel, and now… he might as well show her.

          “Y-yeah, that… sounds nice.”

     A silence followed, a comfortable one, as the sun disappeared more and more into the sea. Noctis didn’t want to pull away from Luna, but they had to get up early tomorrow to get on the boat to Kilika. Slowly he released his arm from around her form and turned to look at her.

          “Let’s get some rest, okay? You must be tired after today… and we gotta start early tomorrow.”

Luna hoped that there would be some more beaches in the places that they went. This one was so wonderful and peaceful to be one. To have more moments like this on the beach side with Noctis is something she knew she wanted to have along the rest of her journey. It was times like these that made the constant anxiety and fear of what would await her in either her next trial, or at the end in Zanarkand. Who knew what kind of battle there will be with Sin, she can only hope that the fayth will guide her through it all.

Though all thoughts of that ceased when she felt his arm wrap around her. The giddy feeling in the pit of her stomach began to arise again, much like it did when he agreed to be her guardian. It was something that was so simple, but to Luna, it meant so much more. She continued to watch the sun begin to disappear into the water, trying to hide the rising heat in her cheeks once more.

But just like that, the moment had come to an end. Feeling Noctis move his arm away from her, she tried her best to hide the disappointment. He brought up a valid point, they did have to get up early tomorrow to catch the boat to Kilika. Yet she didn’t want to leave this beach just yet. She couldn’t, not when there was finally a moment of peace for her. “Actually....” She began, tucking her legs underneath her. “I’m not quite ready to go to bed just yet.”

Her fingers began to fiddle with the embroidery of her summoner’s robes, worrying her bottom lip in thought. Perhaps if she didn’t do it now, there wouldn’t be another time for it. Who knows what awaited them in the temples ahead. Or maybe that’s what she was trying to convince herself so that she may spend more time with him. “Noct, there’s...there’s something I’d like to tell you.” 

She brushed off some of the sand off of her robes, her gaze going down towards her lap and fiddling fingers. “I haven’t exactly been forthcoming as to why I asked you to come with me on this journey.” Luna let out a small sigh, her hands now clutching at one of the ropes that decorated her robes. She could feel her heart beat wildly against her chest, as if it were trying to escape the situation that her mind was so determined to continue. “While it’s true that I wanted nothing more than to have my best friend at my side, there was...something else.”

Her gaze slowly drifted up towards him, her hands clasping the ropes so hard to keep her nerves in check. “There was something I wanted more than anything in all of Spira. I wanted nothing more than go on this journey with not only my dearest best friend, but...but with the one that I loved most.”

“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me.”

“That’s quite the claim you have made.” She laughed, though it was more from disbelief than anything else. It felt as though she clearly didn’t have as big of an impact for him as his dear friends did. They were there for him through it all, something that Lunafreya wished she could have done. While her political imprisonment was beyond her control, there was still a longing to have at been able to been by his side during different moments of either of their lives.

“I should be the one saying that to you.” She began, bringing one of her hands up to caress his cheek. “I don’t think I could ever thank you enough for the constant joy your words brought me during those trying years. You will always be the best thing to ever have happened to me. I will always be grateful that your father brought you to Tenenbrae so that we could meet. I owe both of you so much.”

[Puts head on the other’s shoulder]

It was one of those more relaxing days where she could simply sit down with some tea and enjoy a nice book. Though she did have to bat Umbra’s nose away from the cookies a couple of times (he’s resorted to putting his head in her lap with some sad eyes and hard sighs every now and then). As she opened her book to begin a new chapter, she felt another heavy weight on her shoulder.

As Lunafreya turned her head to look, she was greeted with full view of a familiar mop of dark hair. She let out a small laugh, making no effort to hide her pleased smile as she placed a kiss to the top of Noctis’ head. “Sweet dreams, my love.” She whispered, before turning back to the book in her hands to continue her reading.

“I just feel calmer. When I’m with you.” (Nyx)

Camping had become one of her more favorite things to do as they traveled across Eos. Despite all of the things that happen should the wander too far into the night, it was the stars that brought her solace as she began to wind down from the days journey. Lunafreya knew that there were more trails that awaited them in the days ahead, but her faithful bodyguard always seemed to be there when she needed him.

Letting out a hum, the oracle looked over towards Nyx, a soft smile beginning to appear onto her face. “Perhaps I could say the same for you.” It was something so simple, yet spoke volumes of truth. She leaned her head against his good shoulder, choosing to stare at the campfire before them. “No matter how great my anxiety grows for the coming days, I will always find a quiet calmness whenever I’m with you, Nyx Ulric.”

[Kisses the other on the cheek]

She really needs to stop being so surprised by these at this point. Yet every time Noctis presses a kiss to her cheek, Lunafreya is always put off guard. It probably had something to do with the fact that he was always so quite on his feet, so it was almost too easy for him to sneak up on her from behind. Usually, she could pride herself in being aware of her surroundings, but there was something about Noctis that always caught her unaware.

She looked away from the brush of flowers, doing her best to give an unamused look (though the smile was an easy indicator that she didn’t mind).“You’re getting to be better at appearing next to me as Umbra is. Perhaps I should put a bell on the both of you so I won’t keep getting startled everywhere I go.” She joked.

     Noctis couldn’t help but smile when Luna not only echoed his words but also added how happy she felt in this moment, with him. He felt the same, really — so inexplicably happy that they were reunited, even if the circumstances were rather odd. But he had Luna back — and that’s all that mattered. Though, he should probably get the boat going and take her somewhere better to rest — the seats on the boat were comfortable, but the restless swaying of the ocean waves made it a little tough to relax, and likely even sleep — but he wanted to remain like this with her. Just a little while longer…

          “Just… ask away. There’s a lot to tell, I wouldn’t know where to start myself, to be honest. But I’ll tell you everything you wanna know.” Although he wasn’t entirely sure about the painful parts. He didn’t want to hide anything from Luna at all — but also didn’t want to make her sad. So should she ask about something from his journey that ended up depressing, he might find himself conflicted.

          “I, uh… we should get away from here now, don’t you think? I’ll drive the boat, we… we can still talk about everything on the ride, okay?” As much as Noctis didn’t want to get up, they shouldn’t spend more time than necessary here when they could get to safety and comfort just a boat ride away. Slowly & gently he lifted himself to sit properly, taking care not to cause Luna, who was leaning on him, any discomfort. But when he sat there about to stand up, he halted as their gazes met each other’s. He just couldn’t leave her like this now — so he leaned in towards her and pulled her into his embrace.

     He could’ve stayed like this forever if it wasn’t for their current location — so he pulled away from her and gave her a reassuring glance before standing up and walking over to the driver’s seat.

The feeling of having him next to her was indescribable. For so long they had just been outside of each other’s reach, and now they were able to calmly sit here side-by-side. Though the logical, more hazy, side of her mind told her that he would eventually have to move seats so that they may drive away from here. She was just so happy to finally be at his side that the other part of her wished that this moment would never end.

Lunafreya smiled at his next statement, she was sure that there were many questions that she had. Her mind was still covered in a partial fog, so she was sure that their conversing wouldn’t be very exciting until she could finally shake it off. She let out a small hum, it was soft and almost too quiet for her companion to hear from the crashing waves. She felt him begin to move, blinking in surprise as she lifted her head from his shoulders to look at him properly. 

Before she could ask anything else, her thoughts halted at the feeling of being in a warm embrace. It took a moment to register that Noctis had, in fact, hugged her. She did her best to reciprocate it, even if she was still in a weakened state. If only she could give him a proper embrace, but this would have to do for now. There was plenty of time to give him more once they got to more solid ground.

As he began to pull away, she gave him small smile and a nod. She waited until he was properly seated before going on to ask any further questions. “Tell me about your friends. You wrote about them in your letters, but...I wish to get to know them more. I do hope Prompto is doing alright, he was such a sweet boy.”

[oraclelost-blog]

holds & smooches (｡´ ‿｀♡)

Lunafreya had been browsing the bookshelf that was left in the room, holding one of the books in her hand as she flipped through it’s pages to gander at the contents. It wasn’t often that she read books that were outside of what she had been taught, but there was never a book that she couldn’t read now. Though it would seem that there was distraction coming her way as she felt arms wrap around her waist. 

She didn’t have to turn around to know who it was, but that didn’t stop her from doing so anyway. A smile played on her lips as she held the book to her chest, facing the clear diversion. “What is it—”

The kiss wasn’t urgent or harsh, just as soft and filled with love as all of the rest of them were. At this point, she wasn’t even surprised anymore. It would seem that Noctis was just as affectionate as she was (not that she would complain about that). He always seemed to show his feelings better with actions, Lunafreya knew this. It was one of the many things that she loved and admired about him.

Her free hand rested on his chest, enjoying the feeling of his heartbeat as she savored the kiss just another moment longer. When she pulled away, the smile never left her face, eyes scanning his features before letting out a small laugh. “And what was that for? You could have let me put the book down so that I may kiss you properly.” She teased, “Would you like to go for a walk, my love? I hear the pier is lovely at night with all of the lights on the docks.”

[oraclelost-blog]

"I love you."

What was meant to be such a small phrase held so much weight should the right person say it. Three words, that’s all it would take to either break someone’s resolved or strengthen their heart. One that could make someone soar across the plains and think they were the luckiest person in the world. Upon hearing that precious phrase, Lunafreya couldn’t quite pinpoint just what the emotions she felt were.

Fluttering in her heart brought a hand over her chest to try and quell it. Though she was still staring at the man before her. How long had she wanted to hear that? Had she always just resigned herself to never hear those words come from him? She could never tell, perhaps at one point in her life she did. Though in the present time, her feelings were all over the place. 

Her gaze averted to the side, trying her best to keep herself from smiling too much. The pale skin on her cheeks began to blossom in color, the color contrast almost apparent with with her overall appearance. Bright eyes looked back up towards Noctis, taking a step closer to him.

One of her hands grabbed his, lacing their fingers together as the other went to gently caress his cheek. Lunafreya could feel her smile grow, unbelievably happy in this moment that they shared. She felt as though she were about to burst, filled with so much love for the boy quiet boy that she met all those years ago. “And I love you, Noctis. I always have and always will. There isn’t a force in all of Eos that could keep us apart for any longer than we already have.”

She leaned up to seal her promise with a kiss, one that held every once of love that she has. There was nothing that could break them apart, lest they find the wrath of the Chosen King and his Oracle.

dawnryse·:

     Noctis couldn’t help but wonder what it felt like, having the power of a summoner. If it felt great, or like a burden to Luna — considering what awaits at the end of the journey. But that was still far away, and this moment right now, just sitting together at the beach of Besaid, was too nice to ruin with anything negative.

     Blue eyes looked out at the seemingly endless ocean, to where the sunset melted into the water. Despite being near the sea as well, Noctis didn’t think he’d ever seen a sunset this gorgeous back home in Luca. It was almost sad they had to leave Besaid again the next day — but once a summoner’s journey began, there’s not much time to waste, as Sin will not rest either.

     He grew thoughtful again. There was no doubt from his side that Luna could bring the calm, but it’s the journey and destination that worried him. He didn’t know if she knew how much he had trained for this ever since she spoke of becoming a summoner — with the hope, or even intent to become her guardian. And now he was, and he hoped he would be strong enough to protect her, whatever happens. He couldn’t forgive himself if he failed.

     Suddenly, Luna’s voice echoed in Noctis’ ears and his gaze immediately turned to look at her. “Well I… I guess that’s because we never really left home before? I mean, this moment right now feels pretty real, doesn’t it? But when I think of the fact I’m gonna see all of Spira on our journey, that’s… kinda hard to grasp. Won’t really believe it until I see it, y’know?” He returned Luna’s smile and laughed with her at her suggestion. But instead of pinching her as she asked, he merely reached out to nudge the tip of her nose.

Luna let out a hum in thought, Noctis was right. She won’t really know until she sees all of Spira to know that this isn’t some dream. Everything she’s ever thought about is becoming very real all too quickly. It was a wonder that she was able to finally get off of Luca, with all of the protesting her brother did. He was still barely convinced to let her leave as she had begun to pack for her journey. Regardless, she knew in her heart that this was what she had wanted and it’s no becoming a reality.

Her thoughts were cut short upon feeling a finger touch the tip of her nose. Eyes going slightly crossed as she looked at it for a moment before breaking out int a small fit of laughter. She hadn’t quite expected him to really do that, even though she did just make the request. Her hand came up to nudge his finger away, her fingers curling loosely around it as she did so. Luna turned her head to hide her laughter in her legs.

A small chortle came from her, causing Luna to cease her laughter immediately to cover her mouth with wide eyes. Her gaze darted quickly over to Noctis before she cleared her throat to regain her composure. Cheeks still burning, she looked back out towards the sea and the setting sun. “Do you think all of the trials will be in places as beautiful as Besaid?” She asked.

She turned back towards him with a smile, “I’d like to come back and visit here when this is all over. Being so close to the ocean is almost soothing. Luca is quite wonderful, but there’s something about this place that has a sort of charm to it.”  Without much of a second thought, Luna pressed her hands against the sand to scoot closer to Noctis before choosing to lean against him.

Exhaustion had begun to setting in her bones, but she still couldn’t shake the excitement. With her first aeon under her belt, she had finally become a full fledged summoner. Valefor wasn’t terribly hard to commune with, summoning her shortly after emerging from the Besaid Temple. For a first summon, Luna was glad to have Valefor with her now. Everything that she had been training for with her guide was starting to become real. She could finally make a difference in Spira just as her mother had tried to do before her.

What made it better was that she had her best friend at her side. She hadn’t quite expected Noctis to actually say ‘yes’ to being her guardian (though she could hardly deny the fluttering in her chest when he did). His company was a great comfort to her as she sat on the beach overlooking the ocean. 

“You know,” She spoke, breaking the silence with a quite voice, “I still can’t believe all of this is real.” Her hands going to pet Pryna’s head, who didn’t look as nearly as pleased to be laying on the sand as Umbra did. Luna turned her head, resting her cheek on her bent knee to look at Noctis. A smile had begun to grow on her face, “If I asked you to pinch me, would you do it?” She laughed, “I think I might still be dreaming back home in Luca.”

She knew that they would have to leave in the next day or so to get to the next temple. Yet she didn’t want to leave this scenery just yet, letting herself relax for the first time since her prayers with the fayth.
