~3rd Person POV~

Rain started to pour down heavily. Ignis put the cover up on the Regalia. Gladio was in the back, reading per usual. Noctis had leaned his head on his hand and fell asleep within seconds. Faint snores emitted from his throat as the prince fell into the dream world. Prompto was playing "King's Knight" on his phone when he heaved a huge sigh.

The blonde closed the game and shut his phone off. He leaned his head against the window and drew shapes with his fingers. His eyes traveled to his surroundings and saw a girl in a beautiful dress.

Her small form was drenched with the cold rain. He couldn't tear his eyes away from the girl as they pass her.

"Iggy, pull over!" He suddenly shouts. The girl's figure got smaller as the car continued forward. "Prom, it's pouring outside. Why do we need to pull over?" Noctis asked, waking up from the sudden shout. He didn't rip his eyes away from the girl as he replied. "There was a girl back there!"

Ignis pulled over at Prompto's words. The blonde stormed out of the car as soon as it came to a halt. He reached the girl and saw her eyes were vacant. When he tried to touch her, his hands went straight through her body. He froze as her whole body fazed through his.

The others ran to the blonde and saw his petrified state. "There's no one here," Ignis states. Prompto turned and pointed to the girl. "There is! She's standing right there!" He pointed to the girl. Each one of them turned in the direction he was pointing. "Uh, no-- there's no one there," Noctis said.

Prompto refused to leave the girl and called out to her. At the sound of his raised voice, the girl turned around with wide eyes. The life returned to her dull (e/c) eyes as they met his blue ones. Her lips parted as she began to speak softly. "Y-you can see me?"

Prompto frantically nods. "Y-yeah, clear as day." He shook his head at his response. 'Clear as day? It's raining!' He shouts internally. She giggled and brushed a strand of (h/c) hair that stuck to her face because of the cold rain. The others saw the cameraman talking, but they didn't see anyone.

"Who the hell are you talking to?" Gladio asked. Prompto glanced between the girl and his friends. "There's a girl standing right in front of me!" He defends.

"Prom's finally lost it," Noctis mumbles. He groaned in annoyance and ran back to the car. He pulled out his camera and ran back to the others. "Can I take your picture?" He asked the girl. She nods with a warm smile. Prompto blushed at her beautiful and heartwarming smile. With a single click, he took her picture. When it showed up on his camera screen, he saw she was in it.

"Look at the picture," he said, handing his camera to the others. Their eyes widened when they saw the girl. They all eyed the spot where Prompto took the picture. He gave them a triumphant grin once their mouths hung agape. "Hold on-- you can see and talk to her?" Gladio questioned. Prompto nodded in response.

"Can you explain this, Specs?" Noctis looked at his advisor from the corner of his eye.

"I've only heard a few cases of such a thing. She could be an apparition who has lost her way. Another is..." Ignis went silent for a few seconds.

"Hey, don't hold your tongue now, Iggy," Prompto said, urging him to continue. Ignis eyes the blonde and the spot where the girl is standing.

"She separated her soul from her body for protection against someone or something."

Prompto looked at the girl with concerned eyes. She was looking down at the ground with a sad expression. His heart broke at her sad look. He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't even touch her. "Are... are you still alive?" He managed to ask.

Her eyes slowly met his. "Yes, I am. My body... is trapped inside a cave not far from Coernix Station. I was being chased by Imperials and took refuge in the cave. Once I entered, a daemon attacked me. With no strength of my own, I separated my soul from my body in hopes of finding help."

"We can help!" He shouts cheerfully. Prompto reached out to grab her hands but completely forgot he couldn't touch her. He caught himself before he fell to the ground.

"What did you agree to do?" Noctis asked. Prompto told them the girl's depressing story. "The young lady needs help. We should not ignore such a plight," Ignis states. Prompto jumped with joy as he heard Ignis. With a small spin, he faced the girl. "I haven't even gotten your name."

"(Y/n)," she replies with a bright smile. Prompto smiles in return and guides her to the car. "How come you're the only one who can see her?" Noctis asked. Prompto looked towards (Y/n), but she only shrugged. "Not sure," he replied. When Gladio was about to get in the backseat, the blonde stopped him. "You sit in the front seat, big guy." Gladio just grinned, doing what Prompto said.

He waited for (Y/n) to get in the car. Luckily, her body didn't pass through. Noctis slowly slid into the backseat, making sure not to even cross the middle. He knew where (Y/n) was, but he was afraid of crushing her. "Noct, stop worrying. You can't touch (Y/n). Not even I can do that," Prompto told the prince. Noctis nods and closes the door.

-A Few Days Later-

Prompto laughed along with (Y/n) as they sat at camp. He learned much about her current state. Only certain elements could affect her like rain and heat. Also, only certain objects could touch her. That explains why she was able to suffer from the cold and sit in the Regalia.

They were close to Coernix Station and a step closer to getting (Y/n)'s body back. Since Prompto was the only one who could see her, she spent all of her time with him. During the night, she would lay awake, unable to sleep in her current condition.

The others would ask Prompto if she was alright. He would always reassure them that she was safe. He took more photos of her so the guys could see her. They all complimented on her beautiful dress and gleaming (h/c) hair. Gladio even complimented on her smile from time to time. Ignis would ask her questions and she would answer by writing her reply.

It was the next morning and Prompto was up before anyone else. Ever since (Y/n) joined the group, he would always be the first to wake in the morning. He left the tent and found her near the Chocobos. It seems the birds could sense her presence as she tried to touch them. Of course, her hand passed right through their feathers. She pouted and crossed her arms. Prompto saw her cute reaction and stood next to her.

"Hey, don't worry, (Y/n). Once we get your body back, I'll take you to Wiz's Chocobo Post. You'll be able to pet all the Chocobos you want!"

"I look forward to it, Prom," she giggled. Prompto's whole body twitched all of a sudden when her smile appeared. Every time she smiled or laughed, he had the urge to touch her. Knowing of his limitations, he wished to find her body as soon as possible so he could feel her touch.

"Hey, Prom?"

Her gentle voice was music to his ears. He glanced at her with questioning eyes. "What's up?"

"Would it be strange if I said that... I wanted to touch you?"

Prompto's eyes flew wide open. His jaw fell to the floor at her words. She was wanting the same thing he was desiring. "I-I was thinking the same thing," he admits shyly. (Y/n) giggles again and stares into his blue eyes. "You know what-- I'll give you a reward once I'm reunited with my body."

This piqued Prompto's curiosity. "What kinda reward?" (Y/n) places a finger over her lips and winks. "It's a secret~!" Prompto began to blush. No words came out of his mouth as he continued to watch her closely.

The others woke up and packed the equipment. They all got in the Regalia and sped off. (Y/n) gave directions to Prompto who then passed them on to Ignis. After an hour of driving, the group was forced to walk the rest of the way. Once they reached the cave entrance, they all froze.

"Geez, it's really dark," Prompto comments. "This place will be crawling with daemons. Stay on your guard," Ignis warns. With (Y/n) in front and Prompto behind her, they headed into the cave. Countless of Imps and Flans emerged from the darkness, but were wiped out with ease. (Y/n) stopped, making Prompto and the other halt. She turned and faced the cameraman.

"The powerful daemon is ahead."

"What kind of daemon?" He asked.

"I believe it is called a Naga."

Prompto's body stiffens. (Y/n) notices and began to worry. "Prom, if it's too much, please... turn around and leave." Hearing her sad words made his heart ache. He snapped out of his paralysis and looked at her with determined eyes. "No, we'll get your body back!"

Tears of joy slipped from her eyes. Seeing her like this made Prompto even more desperate to get her body back. He turned to the others and told them about the Naga that lies ahead. "We're not backing down," Noctis said.

They enter the deepest point of the cave and heard the Naga. "Where is (Y/n)'s body?" Ignis asked. Prompto looked towards the girl as she pointed to a crawl space not far. "Over there," he said, pointing to the small space. "We'll handle the snake. You get her body," Gladio said.

Naga drew closer and showed herself. She slithered over to the others while Prompto and (Y/n) ran to the crawl space. He entered the small crevice and used his flashlight to find her body. When he spotted (Y/n)'s body, Prompto crawled as fast as he could. He finally reached her body and pushed her onto his back. With patience and caution, he was able to get her body out of the crawl space.

Everyone else had defeated the Naga in an instant. They helped Prompto to his feet as he carried the body of (Y/n). Exiting the cave, Prompto saw the ghostly apparition of (Y/n) was gone. He was worried for her safety and carried her to a nearby haven.

Prompto was about to set (Y/n) down when he heard the girl gasp. He turned his head to see she was awake. Relief filled his body as he saw her
(e/c) eyes flutter open. Ignis sat a chair down for her and Prompto eased her weak body into the seat. He kneeled in front of (Y/n), holding her cold hands in his warm ones. A weak smile found its way to her face. "Thank you," she whispered. Prompto squeezed her hands gently. "I'm glad we made it in time."

"Now I can give you your reward."

Prompto was eager to know what reward she planned on giving him. When he saw her lean forward, his body began heating up. (Y/n) pressed her lips against his in a gentle kiss. His blood boiled with passion as he moved his hands to her cheeks. The feel of her cold skin against his heated palms made him want to touch her even more. Prompto's desire to touch her was fulfilled, but he couldn't stop. Now, he wanted to touch every inch of her soft skin.

Their intimate moment was ruined by none other than Ignis. "Aw, Iggy!" Prompto whines. "You'll have time for that later. Right now, (Y/n) needs medical attention." Prompto began to mumble under his breath. (Y/n) smiled and patted his head. "You need to rest," she sweetly said. Prompto knew she was right. He reluctantly let go of (Y/n) and backed away. "So... can we continue later?" He asked shyly. She giggled and smiled at him.

"Of course, Prom."
