Secret Dating AU Part 1... Teaser
so i haven’t had time to finish the entire first part of the secret dating au, and i’m definitely not going to finish it tonight, but... here, here’s the first scene of the secret dating promnyx au for @glaiveweek, as how prompto and nyx meet and get together in this au
Nyx and Prompto meet volunteering to rebuild houses outside the Wall, where the Empire razed the towns again. It’s an accident that they end up working on the same house.
Neither one of them know what they’re doing, but the manager of the construction is a woman by the name of Vola, who had ready instructions on what they needed to build with pictures meant for anyone to understand.
Vola says, “Prompto, Nyx. Nyx, Prompto. You’re building a house together over there, go get crackin’.”
Vola rushes off, leaving Nyx and Prompto to stare at the instructions and materials in her wake. Prompto really doesn’t know what to do, but Nyx smiles and says, “Here, I’ve done this before. Help me carry this.”
They carry the materials over, set it down, and get to work. Nyx is patient with his instructions, and carefully shows Prompto the correct way to align the boards. They work on building a frame, and when finished, several other volunteers help them pull it up onto the foundation.
By the end of the day, Prompto’s sweaty and stinking, but Nyx isn’t. Prompto’s a little jealous, and a (not) small part of him wishes to see Nyx sweaty and breathing hard.
He’s so cool. And handsome. Prompto tries not to get distracted, but fails miserably when he almost trips while staring at Nyx’s face.
“You alright?” Nyx asks, while they stop for Prompto to regain his footing.
“Yeah,” Prompto says, blushing while thinking a mantra of be cool be cool be cool. “Just, um, didn’t see a rock.”
Nyx looks down, and there is no rock. There’s a lot of crud on the ground, building materials, some plastic, wood beams. No rocks, though. Why did Prompto say a rock instead of anything else that is actually there?
But Nyx is just so cool--he doesn’t comment, and they work so well together. At the end of the day, Prompto can look over the houses he helped build and feels a bubble of pride in his chest.
Nyx’s hand claps his shoulder. “We did good, today,” he says. “Want to get something to eat? On me?”
He doesn’t mean it like that, chill. “Yeah, sure!” he says.
