"... How the hell did this happen?" Noctis asked, looking down at the four-year-old (Y/n). She was running around camp while laughing. Ignis tried to catch the girl, but she kept dodging his reach. Gladio was next, but he couldn't lay a hand on her at all. Prompto and Noctis watched in shock at the hyper girl.

"Noct, she's your girlfriend-- try to get her attention," Prompto said. The prince raised an eyebrow at his best friend. "What makes you think she even knows we're dating in that state?"

Prompto just shrugs. "She might be four years old, but she is still (Y/n)." Noctis groans in annoyance, knowing Prompto was right. He kneels and open his arms. "Come here, (Y/n)." The little girl giggles and runs into Noctis' arms. He gently picks her up and sits in a chair with her in his lap. Ignis sighs in relief as he crashes into a chair next to the prince.

"So, what are we supposed to do with a four-year-old?" Gladio asked.

"Hopefully, (Y/n) will return to her normal self before we depart," Ignis replies.

(Y/n) began to pull on Noctis' hair, causing the prince to grit his teeth in pain. He grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his hair. "That hurts, (Y/n)." She pouts and turns away from Noctis.

Ignis got to his feet after relaxing for awhile to prepare dinner. Prompto came over and sat in front of Noctis so he could entertain the little girl in his lap. Gladio just watched with a smirk as the two of them tried to keep the four-year-old busy.

Ignis finished cooking dinner and passed around plates. He gave a small one to (Y/n), who gladly accepted it with a smile. Noctis saw she wanted down and gently helped her off his lap. She plopped on her behind right next to Noctis' chair to enjoy her meal. He smiled as he kept a close eye on the little girl.

(Y/n) took a bite of her dish and immediately spat it out. "Ew, vegetables!" Their eyes widened in shock at her sudden outburst. "Wow... didn't know she hated vegetables when she was younger," Prompto comments. Ignis wasn't hurt by her words but more amused than anything. "It seems she came over her distaste for vegetables at a younger age."

"Yeah, because she loves everything you cook," Gladio said. All eyes then fell onto the prince who was now pushing his vegetables around his plate. "Noct could get a few pointers from (Y/n) about how she did conquer her vegetables," Prompto said with a chuckle.

"It is an unbecoming sight that our future king is not fond of vegetables," Ignis said with a small sigh. Noctis sent a faint glare to his advisor. All Ignis did was sip his coffee and ignore the prince.

(Y/n) began pulling the vegetables out of the dish and eating around them. "She's eating more than Noct," Gladio said, observing the little girl. "Vegetables are poison to me," Noctis said.

"No, they're not. You're just being your stubborn self," Gladio fires back.

(Y/n) suddenly flew up and walked over to Ignis. "Iggy, if I eat these, can I choose the dish for tomorrow?" Her (e/c) eyes begged the advisor. Ignis smiled down at her and placed a hand on her head. "Certainly."

She smiles and slowly began eating the vegetables. "Dude, you're being shown up by a four-year-old... and she's your girlfriend!" Prompto shouts. Noctis smacked the blonde on the arm. "Damn, she even negotiated. Talk about way ahead of Noct," Gladio smirked.

(Y/n) finished her plate and showed Ignis. He nodded and took the dish from her. She ran over to Noct and saw he still hadn't eaten. "It's actually really good!" She giggled. Noctis glanced down at her to see her beautiful smile. "... Fine. If it's for you, I'll do it."

"W-what?! Noct's gonna eat his vegetables?!" Prompto shouts in shock. With a small hint of hesitation, the prince began to eat the dish. "Yay!" (Y/n) cheers. With a look of death, Noctis ate the whole dish. It took him a whole hour, but he ate every bite.

"Shall I praise you?" Ignis asked.

"Not feeling... very good. Gonna go... to bed," Noctis mumbles and heads to the tent while holding his stomach. (Y/n) chased after him and entered the tent. She sprawled out in front of him while Noct laid on his aching stomach. (Y/n) found his phone and turned it on.

"Who's this pretty lady?" She asked. Noctis sat up to see what she was asking about. The little girl was pointing to his screensaver. He smiled gently and spoke up. "That's the girl I fell in love with."

"Where is she?"

"Well... she's...."

"Did she dump you?"

"N-no, but..."

"Oh, you dumped her!"

Noctis sighed and pulled the small girl into his arms. "She's near, but she doesn't know. Hopefully, I'll see her in the morning."

"I hope so, too," she smiles. Noctis cuddles her in his arms until she falls asleep. He lays down with her still in his arms. With a small smile, Noctis kissed her on the forehead and whispered "good night" to her.

-Next Morning-

Noctis was awoken when the warmth of (Y/n) left his arms. Usually not an early riser, Noctis stretched his arms and legs. He left the tent to only be greeted by an older (Y/n).

"Well, you're up early," she smiled and kissed him on the cheek. His eyes were wide as saucers. No words came out of his mouth as it hung open. As he continued to stare at her, (Y/n) felt something was wrong.

"Are you okay?" She asked, gently placing a hand on his arm. Noctis pushed away his shock and smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. She hugged him back and rested her head on his chest.

"You sure? Because I feel like you're not telling me something."

Noctis sighs and rests his head on top of hers. "Would you believe me if I said you turned into a four-year-old?"

"Uh... no."

"Thought so."
