~(Y/n)'s POV~

"How the hell are all six of us gonna fit in the Regalia?" Noctis asked, glancing at Ignis. I took a step forward and offered my seat to Iris. "She can have my spot in the back."

"What about you?" Prompto asked.

"Have you forgotten? I have wings of my own."

"Oh, yeah! Completely forgot about that one perk," he laughed.

"It's settled. (Y/n) will follow us from above," Ignis said. The only one confused was Iris. "Wings? (Y/n), do you have your own vehicle?" I smirk at the innocent question.

"You're gonna have a heart attack once you see what she means," Gladio smirked at his sister. Still confused, Iris hopped in the backseat with Noctis and Gladio. Ignis got in the driver's seat, but Prompto wouldn't let go of my hand. His grip tightened as a worried expression crossed his features. "You sure about this?"

I nod and kiss him on the cheek. "I'm positive. This way, I can also keep you safe from Imperial airships." Prompto smiled and suddenly grabbed my face. He pulled me into a quick kiss before he got into the Regalia. I waved to Ignis, signaling for him to start the engine. The Regalia got smaller as it left Lestallum. I walked to the edge of town and stretched all my limbs. "Hope I don't scare Iris too much." With a running start, I jump off the side of the bridge and transform.

~3rd Person POV~

Iris and Prompto's eyes were glued to the sky above, waiting for (Y/n). The blonde knew what he was looking for, but Iris was completely clueless. The young girl looked towards her brother and began to question him. "Where is she?"

Gladio was about to answer but was silenced by a loud screech. Iris snapped her head around at the sudden loud noise. She turned her whole body around and gasped at the sight before her.

Iris' eyes widen as she watches the Phoenix speed towards them. "U-um, guys?" She asked, her voice shaking. Prompto turned around and smiled at the worried girl. "Don't worry, that's (Y/n)." It seemed as if her eyes would pop out of her head if she widened her eyes any further. Once (Y/n) was overhead, Prompto reached for his camera and took a picture of her.

Iris gazed at the Phoenix looming overhead. When she was able to convince herself it was (Y/n), she was able to relax. Every now and then, she would find herself staring up at her. "Aren't Phoenixes known for their violence?"

"Indeed. They are known for their violent intentions and treacherous natures. Though, even in this state, (Y/n) recognizes us as her allies," Ignis responds. Noctis looked at Iris and made his advisor's words more comprehensible. "She won't attack us. No need to worry so much."

"Yeah! This is (Y/n) we're talkin' about," Prompto chimes in. Gladio leaned forward in his seat and grinned at the blonde. "Every time you open your mouth about her, you're always smiling like an idiot."

"Well, duh! She is my girlfriend. Of course I'm gonna smile when I talk about her. I wouldn't trade her for anyone or anything in the world." Prompto beamed up at (Y/n) as his inner thoughts spilled out in a strong current. "Wow, who knew Prom could get so passionate about a girl," Noctis smirks.

"Never thought I'd see the day," Gladio adds. Prompto ignored the bodyguard and continued to smile, his mind only filled with her. The memories of meeting and gaining her trust were the brightest. At the beginning, he never even imagined himself being in a relationship with the mysterious girl. After traveling with her for a few months, he dreamed about getting closer to her and becoming more than friends. Ever since their first kiss, which was accidental, he stayed glued to her side. They laughed and smiled with each other and (Y/n) opened up to him before anyone else. Their second kiss at Hammerhead was when the true relationship began. Since then, the two have been inseparable.

<------<<<<<

After an hour of driving, Ignis decided to pull over for a short break. Prompto whistled to signal (Y/n) and she landed in an area where no one who was driving by could see her. Prompto flew out of the car and ran over to (Y/n). Being curious, Iris followed closely behind with her brother in tow.

(Y/n) cranes her head down so Prompto could wrap his arms around her neck. He laughed liked a child as he stroked her beautiful feathers. A small chirp of happiness escaped her when Prompto began to scratch behind her head. She closed her eyes in bliss and nuzzled her head into Prompto's chest.

Iris watched the two with a genuine smile. Gladio, on the other hand, was smirking at the couple with crossed arms. Her eyes met with Prompto's and he beckoned her over. With small steps, Iris made her way over to him and (Y/n). "She won't bite. The only person she's ever nipped at was Gladio."

Iris laughed and glanced at her brother. "What did you do?" Gladio sighed and scratched the back of his neck. "Accidentally stepped on her tail." Iris rolled her eyes with a small sigh. "Sounds like something you would do."

Iris placed a hand on (Y/n)'s feathers. She gasped and immediately hugged her. "Wow, your feathers are so soft, (Y/n)!" The Phoenix chirped and rubbed her feathers against Iris' cheeks, earning a few giggles from her.

Suddenly, (Y/n)'s feathers stood on-end. A loud threatening screech came from her as she stood in front of Prompto, Iris, and Gladio protectively. "W-what's wrong, (Y/n)?" Prompto puzzled. She didn't look at them because her sights were trained on the woods before them. Trees snapped in two as a Griffon emerged from the woods. The two creatures screeched at each other while the Griffon lunged forward. (Y/n) took the hit, knowing that if she dodged, the others would have been injured.

Prompto summoned his pistol, but before he could attack, Gladio had grabbed him. "Get back to the car, now!" Iris nods, but Prompto refuses to move. "I'm not leaving (Y/n) by herself!" He protests. Gladio forcefully yanks Prompto away from the battle. One of the Griffon's talons landed in the spot where he stood only seconds before. "You're gonna get in her way if you stay here!" Gladio fires back. He latched onto the blonde and dragged him away, kicking and screaming.

Prompto couldn't break free from Gladio's grip. He watched the fight while he was being forced back to the Regalia. (Y/n) struck the Griffon across the face with her sharp talons and shot fire at its wings. Prompto's eyes widened when he saw the Griffon manage to slash its talons at (Y/n). He gasped as he heard the Phoenix screech out in pain.

Prompto elbowed Gladio in the side, making the brute loosen his grip. He pulled himself free and ran towards the fight. With his pistol in hand, he fired a few round at the Griffon. It changed its target from (Y/n) to him, allowing her to execute a deadly attack. Prompto fell to the ground due to the impact of the Griffon's body collapsing. It squirmed under (Y/n)'s weight, but she silenced it when her sharp talons pierced its body. The Griffon fell limp and (Y/n) jumped off its corpse.

Prompto scrambled to his feet and jumped onto her. The sudden action caused her golden eyes to widen. "Let me see the scratch," he demanded.
(Y/n) picked Prompto up by the collar and placed him in front of her. "Hey, I said--" She silenced him with a soft chirp. Prompto tried to get back onto her, but she pushed him away with her tail.

"(Y/n)!" He shouts while pouting. She shook her head and transformed into her human self. "Prom, I'm fine. Watch," she said, gesturing to the cut. A beautiful golden light consumed the cut and when the light dissipated, the wound was completely healed. A beautiful smile graced her lips as she walked over and hugged Prompto. He immediately wrapped his arms around her smaller frame and pulled her flush against him.

"You're a heart attack walking on two legs," he states. (Y/n) giggles and pecks him on the lips. "Says the one who approached two fighting beasts with just a pistol in-hand."

"Yeah, kinda lost it when I saw it scratch you," he admits. She looked at him from his arms with a raised eyebrow. "Alright, I did lose it." (Y/n) smiled and placed her hands on his cheeks. She pulls him down into a passionate kiss which Prompto gladly returns.

"Can you two save it for Caem?" A deep voice cut through their intimate moment. Prompto groans and nuzzled his head in the crook of (Y/n)'s neck. "Fine, but it'll be much more worse than this," she cheekily responds. Gladio goes silent for a few seconds until he finally finds his voice. "Never mind."

A victorious grin etches its way onto her lips at his response. "Now, where were we?" Prompto lifts his head up and gazes into her (e/c) eyes with a smile. "Making out in the woods," he replies with a chuckle.

"Oh, that's right."

The two resume their intimate moment and get lost in their own little world.
