~Two Guys, One Shot-Gun~

I decided, out of sheer brainstorming and a sudden inspiration, to make cute one-shots of the going-to-be-famous Yaoi/gay pairing:

Noctis and Prompto

This pairing was BOUND to happen! Ya'll knew this was coming! Even you Noctella fans! (smiles)

Shall we begin?

Prompto sighed as he sat hard against the pavement. 'I hate guard duty. Dude, this sucks...' His thoughts swirled around in his head as he watched for any signs of life out in the open, which in his "humble" opinion wasn't very lively at all.

His eyes turned away from the scenery and watched the gray clouds above him float slowly away. The young man wondered if he could be as free like the clouds, when suddenly he felt a gentle slap behind the head. Quickly, he turned away and saw a blue-haired, handsome young man frown slightly.

"Didn't I tell you to be on your guard, Promp?" he asked in his low, quiet voice he used when he was disappointed. The blonde haired man grinned shamelessly. "Sorry, Noct. It was getting bo-ring!" He then put his hands behind his head and lay on the grass with a smile.

Noctis shook his head and began to stand up until a hand reached out to stop him. "Noct. where are you going?" Prompto's cheerful voice sang to the prince. Noctis exhaled sharply and replied,"Back to camp. I can't lay around like you do and fool around all day. I have work to do. Now let me go." A hand gripped his wrist tightly.

"Uh...no. You need to take a break once in a while, Noct!" His hand guided the man's wrist towards the ground, which reluctantly Noctis sat down beside him with a grim look etched on his face. Prompto smiled at his partner and sighed with content.

"Now, isn't this much better than camp?" Noctis grunted back in reply. The clouds above them were now darker and denser than before. Sitting in the quiet was strangely comforting to the Prince. It was rare that he had this much private time. Most of his personal time was devoted towards his mission and adventures.

Closing his eyes, Noctis slowly removed his grimace, relaxing his lips and breathed out. 'This...feels good.'

ZZZZZ!

Noctis jumped slightly at the noise and glanced at his friend. His spiky, blonde hair covered his eyes, casting a mysterious shadow on his face. Noctis leaned in closer, curious and intrigued with his friend. Noctis noticed for the first time, how Prompto's lips always seemed to curve slightly as he slept. The prince gulped.

He shouldn't be doing this. What was he thinking? The prince turned away from the sleeping youth and realized that his face was warm. Noctis covered his mouth and shut his eyes tight. 'There's no way in HELL I'm like...that! I-I can't be g-gay. . . .'

ZZZZ!

Noctis jumped again at the noise and looked at Prompto and then turned away from him quickly. 'Damn it! what the hell? Stop acting like this, Noct. Pull yourself TOGETHER!' Noctis smacked himself in the face on both cheeks, and then winced at the pain.

"Ouch. . . ." he muttered to himself. He heard Prompto turn on his side away from him, and mentally he breathed a sigh of relief. 'I'd better leave before this gets out of hand.'' Noctis stood up slowly, trying his best not to make any noise that would wake the man up.

"Ahmmm. . . . Noct? You going back to camp so early?" Prompto's voice made Noctis freeze. The prince turned around and saw the youth rub his eyes from the nap. The prince couldn't help but blush at the cuteness of it. The blue-haired man turned away, hiding his blush.

"Y-Yeah. I have some work that needs to be done soon." Noctis said quickly. Prompto grinned and shot up from his spot. "I have nothing else to do, so can I help?" Noctis jumped for the third time. Waving his gloved hands in front of him,"N-NO! It's fine! I-I can handle myself, Prompto! It's okay. You don't have to help."

Prompto's eyebrows arched,"You all right, Noct? You sound more jumpy than usual." Noctis began to get flustered. Didn't he know that he was the cause of his jumpiness!

The gray, dense clouds began to pour out rain and the two men looked up in surprise. "I knew it was going to rain! EUREKA!" The blonde man exclaimed while his partner sullenly stared at him with his sharp, blue eyes. "I'm heading back to camp. Don't go catching a cold, idiot."

Prompto looked at Noctis confused,"Did I do something wrong? Noct? H-hey, Noctis! Wait up!" The youth ran behind the Prince who was several yards ahead of him. "Damn his teleportation." He cursed under this breath as he tried to catch up with the aloof prince.

"N-Noct! OI! STOP TELEPORTING YOU M-." Suddenly, he felt himself slip, the mud and grass rise in front of him. Prompto quickly shut his eyes and put his arms in front of him, fully expecting his face to be mixed with Etro's earth.

It didn't happen.

His eyes opened slowly and saw Noctis's emotionless face staring back at him. "You're lucky I teleported at the right moment or you would have a face full of dirt, Prompto." Prompto blinked several times in disbelief. Noctis was doing his best trying to put on a straight face. The look on Prompto's face made the prince want to do something unpredictable.

Almost.

The rain was still pouring out from the clouds as the rain drops fell from the sky and onto the two men. The water hit them all over their bodies: clothes, shoes, hands, face, and hair. Noctis was trying his very best not to find himself distracted on how the rain hit Prompto's spiky, blonde hair just right.

Prompto stared at Noctis's pale face. His face was wet with the rain and so was his blue hair, oddly aroused Prompto. The man couldn't stop but stare as he absorbed Noctis's features like their clothes absorbing the rain. Suddenly, both men found out about their very inappropriate positions at the same time.

"I-I-Erm..." Prompto blushed bright pink and tried to avert his eyes; noticing he was on all fours, his right knee between Noctis's legs, and his hands on either side of Noctis's head to prop himself up. Noctis blushed as well, knowing too well that his back was underneath Prompto.

"S-Sorry. I-I didn't want you fall...you know." Noctis managed to mutter quietly. Prompto nodded, not able to move.

Awkward silence permeated between the men.

"I-I'll get off, Noct. S-Sorry." Prompto stuttered slightly. Noctis nodded, slightly disappointed at Prompto's decision. As Prompto got up, he held up a reaching hand toward the Prince.

"Here. Let me help." His voice cascaded into Noctis's ears and he felt himself smile despite himself. Grabbing, Prompto's hand, Noctis lifted himself up while Prompto grinned.

"Well, buddy. Wanna head back to camp?"

"Yeah, sure."

Prompto and Noctis slowly walked beside each other, as Noctis's thoughts faded in his mind.

'I'm still a buddy to him?' The prince's blue eyes glanced at his friend who, as always smiled cheerfully.

Noctis smirked.

'I think I can change that. . .'
