~(Y/n)'s POV~
Noctis and I were training together while the others were watching closely. I blocked Noctis' blade with my own. A smirk spread across my face as an idea popped into my head. I leaned in closer and whispered into his ear. He began blushing and lost his grip. I pushed him back with all my strength. He fell to the floor and I took the chance. I pointed my blade at his throat with an even bigger smirk.
"I win~" I chant gleefully. His face was still read and I couldn't hold in my laughter. "Noct, what did she say?" Prompto asked curiously. His blush deepened at the question. "Let's just say it's private," I say while winking at the prince. I helped him up from the cold tiled floor. The doors to the training room opened to reveal Nyx. "Your father wishes to see you, Prince Noctis," he informed. We were all confused at the sudden summons. "I'll be back," Noctis said and left with Nyx.
While waiting for Noctis, Prompto and I trained together. Within seconds, Prompto was on the floor with no weapon. "Wow, you're really good,
(Y/n)," he said. After a few rounds with Ignis and Gladio, Noctis had finally returned. We were all cheerful until we saw his expression. "Noct, what's wrong?" I ask worriedly. "Can I talk to you alone, (Y/n)?" He asked in return. "Um, sure." Noctis guided me outside of the training room to get away from the others. "Noct, tell me what's wrong?" I take one of his hands in both of mine. "My father wants me to marry Lunafreya." His answer snapped my heart in two. "(Y/n), I-"
I let his hand go and step away from him. "I understand, Noctis." His eyes widened at the sound of his name. I only ever used his nickname until now. I kept my tears at bay so he wouldn't worry. "Your father wants you to marry Lady Lunafreya to strengthen relations between Tenebrae and Lucis. King Regis is only thinking about the future of Lucis." Noctis' eyes were full of shock and hurt. I couldn't meet his blue eyes anymore. "I'm going to go clear my head," I mumble.
~3rd Person POV~
Noctis watches as (Y/n) disappears down the hall. He wanted to stop her but couldn't find his voice. The door to the training room opened and the others exit with curious and worried expressions. "Noct, why's (Y/n) leaving?" Prompto asked his best friend. Noctis couldn't say a word to them. Gladio stepped up and stood in front of the prince. "Noct, what did King Regis say?" He asked sternly. "... He's arranged for Luna and I to wed..."
"B-but, what about (Y/n)? What did she say?" The blonde asked. "She wants me to wed Luna," Noctis answered. "Noct..." Prompto had no words to say. "Why would she say that?" Gladio questioned. "Because it was the proper thing to say," Ignis replied. Noctis' eyes met his advisor's. "(Y/n) said what she did because she knows what's best. She knows that she cannot stop this marriage. You should go find her, Noct. I will talk to his majesty on your behalf." Noctis thanked Ignis and stormed off to find (Y/n).
"(Y/n)!" He shouted her name over and over again as he ran down the halls of the palace. He searched her room, but it was empty. "Prince Noctis, if you're looking for Lady (Y/n), she was heading to the garden not long ago," a maid told him. He thanks her and runs at full speed to the garden. When he reached the garden, Noctis couldn't see the (h/c) hair girl anywhere. He searched near her favorite flowers and spotted someone on the ground. When he got closer, Noctis realized it was (Y/n).
"No..." He ran over to her body and saw blood everywhere. When he examined her closer, he noticed cuts along her wrists from her blade. He picked up her limp body and carried her to his room. "(Y/n) needs help! Send a nurse!" He shouts to a nearby maid. He reaches his room and lays
(Y/n) down on his bed. "Noct!" The door flies open to reveal a familiar blonde. His eye travels from Noctis to (Y/n). He ran over and kneeled next to the bed. "What happened?" He asked worriedly.
Noctis gripped one of her hands in his and held it tightly. "I found her in the garden like this. I also found these marks on her wrists." Prompto looks where he was talking about. His eyes grew wide in shock. "I didn't know she was the type of person to do this," Prompto said sadly. "It's my fault she tried to kill herself. I should've told my father I was in love with (Y/n) and wouldn't marry Luna."
Prompto rested a hand on Noctis' back. "It's not your fault, buddy. We had no idea she would do this to herself." The door once again opened and Gladio, Ignis, and a nurse entered. "We heard what happened," Ignis stated. The nurse began tending to (Y/n)'s injuries while the four of them talked amongst themselves. Ignis informed the prince of what he had talked about to with King Regis. His majesty was very understanding and wished to talk to Noctis and (Y/n). "She'll be fine, Prince Noctis. She's only suffered from a few deep cuts. I suspect she will awake in a few hours," the nurse informed them. They all nodded and the nurse left.
"I have some business to attend to. Tell me when she wakes," Ignis said and left. Gladio and Prompto had to leave as well. Noctis stayed by (Y/n)'s side until sleep took over his body.
~(Y/n)'s POV~
The pain I felt on my wrists have vanished completely. I open my eyes and realize I'm in Noctis' room. I sat up slowly and saw Noctis asleep while holding my hand. I ran a hand through his raven hair to comb through the tangles. My actions caused him to wake up from his nap. "Sorry for waking you." He shakes his head and holds my hand tighter. "No, don't worry about it. I'm glad you're okay. But I do want to know one thing: why did you try to kill yourself?" I look away from his hurt expression.
"If you were going to marry Luna, then there'd be no room for me in your life," I reply to him. My whole body was soon wrapped in his warm embrace. "Don't say that. I'm going to make my father understand who I love. One day, it'll be you and me walking hand in hand together without being questioned." His words made me so happy that I began to cry. He ran a gentle hand through my hair and whispered sweet nothings in my ear. I told him about my history of depression and the countless of times I had almost taken my life. Noctis listened to every word I had to say closely. He told me it was okay and he would never leave me.
We soon exchanged a sweet and passionate kiss. We stayed glued together until Noctis told me about how his father wanted to talk to both us in private. I felt nervous, but Noctis reassured me it would be okay. With help from him, we headed to the throne room and found King Regis with a smile. When he saw Noctis holding my hand, his smile grew even bigger. King Regis understood Noctis' love for me and decided to break the engagement with Lunafreya. He rather see his son marry someone he loves than someone he doesn't. He blessed our relationship with a smile.
Noctis and I couldn't believe it. In the end, we both got what we wanted and that was each other. We told the others of the news and the all cheered for us. We spent the rest of the day in each other's warmth without interruption.
