~(Y/n)'s POV~
We were at Hammerhead getting the Regalia fixed for the hundredth time. Noctis was chatting with me while Prompto was staring at Cindy with googly eyes. "(Y/n)?" I snapped my attention back to Noctis and forgot I was sitting on the Regalia's hood. "Ah!" I shriek as I slid off the hood. Noctis grabbed my wrist in time before I hit the ground. "Thanks, Noct." He chuckled and pulled me to my feet. "You've been glaring at Cindy and Prompto this whole time," he said. "W-what are you talking about?" I try to act innocent. "We all know you like Prompto," Gladio said as he stood next to me. I crossed my arms and pouted. "Well, except for the idiot himself," Noctis said. I elbowed him in the gut and he gasped for air.
"Try not to bruise him too much," Ignis said as he joined our conversation. "No promises..." I mutter under my breath. "She's all ready to go!" Cindy announces. "Sweet!" Prompto shouts in glee. We all get in the Regalia and Noctis pays Cindy with a sigh. Our next destination was Lestallum which would take a few days. We were silent until Prompto started running his mouth about how great Cindy is. I rolled my eyes and rested my arm on the window. For the next twenty minutes, Prompto wouldn't shut up about Cindy. It was getting on my nerves and Noctis noticed. "Prom, let's talk about something else," he suggests. Prompto nods with a smile and I thank Noctis mentally. I guess he must've heard it because he gave me a thumbs up. I smiled back and mouthed 'thanks'. He nodded and began chatting with Prompto to keep his mind off the other blonde.
We stopped at the Crow's Nest to get something to eat before we left Hammerhead. "You guys go on ahead. I'll... Stay here," I said. Prompto was the first to notice my weird behavior. "What's wrong, (Y/n)?" I shook my head and plastered a fake smile on my face. "Nothing, Prom. I'm not hungry. Go on ahead." The guys were all staring at me with worried expressions. I felt so bad for worrying them like this over something so stupid. "You are acting strange, (Y/n). Are you feeling well?" Ignis asked. I nodded and pushed a strand of (h/c) hair behind my ear. "I'll be fine. You all go eat. I'll watch the car." I knew it was a poor excuse but it was the only one I could think of at the moment. They all seemed reluctant but left. I waited for them to leave and slid down the door of the Regalia. I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my head on them. I felt like the walls holding back my tears were about to break. I stayed in that position for who knows how long.
"Hey, we got you (favorite drink)~" Prompto greets. He hands over a cup and I hold it in both hands. "Aw, thank you, Prom." He helped me up and back into the Regalia. Our next stop was a camping spot Ignis marked on the map. He didn't want to stay at an Inn and waste Gil we would need in the future. After another forty-five minute drive, we reached the camping spot. I help Ignis with the chairs while Noctis and Gladio set the tent up. Prompto was too busy staring at his camera to even bother helping anyone. I roll my eyes for the hundredth time today and bump him with my hip. He scrambles with his camera and quickly hides it. "Whatcha starin' at?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.
"J-just a picture..." He mumbles. "Of who?" I try to see the screen of the camera but Prompto turns it off. "S-someone I like," he stutters. I felt my heart shatter and knew immediately it was Cindy. "Oh..." I look away sadly. "Sorry to have bothered you..."
"(Y/n)-"
"Hey, Prom! We could use some help!" Gladio shouts. I finish with the chairs and start a fire to keep us warm. My hand unconsciously went to the necklace around my neck. It was my mother's and I always ended up playing with it when I felt down. The emblem was about to fall off so I took off the necklace. Suddenly I heard talking and laughing from the tent and went to investigate. "Do you like (Y/n)?" I stop right before I enter the tent and hear Noctis ask a weird question. "I'm sure Prom does. Look at the way he looks at her," Gladio teases. "I don't like her!" Prompto shouts. My eyes grow wide and I drop my necklace. When it hits the ground, it makes a small clinging sound which was enough to get everyone's attention.
"(Y-Y/n)." Prompto stares at me with wide eyes. They all were staring at me the way Prompto was. I could feel my heart breaking into tiny pieces in my chest. Tears were streaming down my face and I couldn't stop them. "So... That's how it is..." I say through my tears. Prompto quickly stands up and tries to approach me. "N-no, it's not like that!" He denies. Prompto reaches out towards me but I move away from him and the others. His blue eyes were full of pain and I couldn't look at him anymore. "This whole time... You've been pretending to like me..." I sniff and wipe the tears away. It was useless because I couldn't stop crying.
"N-no, I wasn't pretending!" He shouts desperately. "You don't need to lie anymore, Prompto." His eyes grew even wider because I didn't use his nickname. "I'm done trying to get you to see me. I'm tired of being ignored by you. All you ever do anymore is talk about how great Cindy is. I can tell I have no room in your life and never will..." I turn and run away from the campsite and into the dense woods.
"(Y/n)!" Prompto shouts my name desperately over and over again. I ran as fast as I could and went deeper into the woods.
After running for awhile, I stop and slouch against a tree. I sank to my knees and kept my hands on the tree as if it would help me. I breathe heavily as I lean my head against the tree. I went to grasp my necklace but completely forgot I dropped it. All the crying and running has worn me out and I close my eyes. Suddenly arms wrapped around me and I gasped in shock. "(Y/n)..." Prompto whispered my name in my ear. He held on to me tightly to keep me from running off again. "What do you want?" I venomously spat at him. "To finish what I was going to say."
"Go ahead and say it. It's not like you can hurt me any further..." Prompto's arms tighten around me and pull me even closer to him. "I don't like you, (Y/n). I... Love you..." I went limp in his arms and began crying again. "Please... Don't leave me," he whispers through his own tears. All that heartbreak was mending and I couldn't believe it. Prompto loves me and not Cindy. I turned around in his arms and hugged him back. "Why didn't you say something earlier?" I ask. "Because I was so scared you would reject me." I rest my head against his chest and listen to his racing heart. "You idiot. I've loved you for so long. I didn't say anything because I thought you liked Cindy."
"Cindy's nice and all but she isn't you. No one could take your place." He pulled away and his lips found mine in a sweet and passionate kiss. I felt sparks flying and it felt amazing. I've never been so happy in my life. We break the kiss and he leans his forehead against mine. "Oh! You dropped this." Prompto's arms went around my neck and I felt something cold hit my skin. Prompto moved away and I saw my mother's necklace. "Y-you fixed it!" I shout. He nodded and I pecked him on the lips. "Thank you, Prom."
"Anything for you, (Y/n)."
