'Don't think about it now Noctis'

He's about 12

maybe 13

My brain keeps adding that this will be the last bday party he'll be allowed attend

They cut through some alleys

and run into the crownsguard blockade that was set up

Cors hand slides up to press Noctis' head to his chest

conveniently covering his ear

'One casualty, some injured civilians'

'Glai-'

Cor nods sharply

I feel this is where Cor would be caring

but like its fealty

Another child that age

and he'd be like

*pat pat* sorry for your loss

Looking around for anyone to take over

But Prompto would force himself on Cor

So he'd have to learn some modicum of tact

theres a chain in his head

'Noctis will be mad so Regis will be upset

Or

Gladio will be mad, so Clarus will and then REGIS WILL'
