~(Y/n)'s POV~

My doorbell suddenly rang. I stood up to answer the door. "Who would be here at this hour?" When I reached the door, the doorbell silenced. I opened my door slowly to find no one there. My eyes scanned the area around my house. When I looked down, I saw a box. Confusion took over my mind as I picked it up. I placed the box on my table, examining every inch of it. I noticed there was only my name on it. No address or sender's name was located on the box. "Weird..."

I open the box cautiously to find a bouquet of blue roses with a letter.

I open the letter with confusion. The only writing on the letter was a heart with my name on it. The first person who came to mind was Noctis. I filled a vase with water so I could keep the roses alive. Scrambling to my phone, I call Noctis. He answered immediately after the first ring. "(Y/n)? Is something wrong?" He asked worriedly. I usually don't call him this late at night.

"I'm sorry to call you this late. Did... Did you send me flowers?" I ask, hesitating a little. "No... Who are they from?" He asked. I could tell he was trying to control his worry. "It doesn't say. I thought they were from you." A small thump came from the other end of the call. Noctis must've hit something. "I'll be right over," he said and hung up before I could protest. He worries too much about me. He'll probably die from all the worrying he does.

Fifteen minutes later, Noctis arrives with a worried expression. I show him the blue roses and the note that accompanied them. Noctis opened the note slowly. Suddenly he crumpled the piece of paper in his hands. "You're staying at the palace," he commanded. "What? Why?" I ask. He doesn't answer and grabs my hand. His actions made me a little scared. He guided me to the Regalia where I saw everyone else. "Hey, (Y/n)!" Prompto greets happily.

"Specs, head back to the palace," Noctis said as he helped me into the backseat. "Hold on!" I shout. My shout got everyone's attention. "Why are you taking me to the palace?" Ignis was the first one to answer my question. "A murderer is going around and killing young women. He always sends blue roses to his victims." My eyes widened in shock. This was the first time I was hearing this. "How come I've never heard of this until now?" I ask.

"My father's been keeping it a secret. If it got out that we knew, he would change his tactics. Then we would lose his tracks," Noctis stated. I nodded in understanding. Ignis drove us to the palace and Noctis took me to his room. I sat on his bed while he kneeled in front of me. Noctis took my hands in his. Our fingers entwined together like ribbons. "Did anything else happen?" I shook my head, but then I remembered what happened earlier today.

"Well, while I was walking from the palace today, I felt like someone was following me. Besides that, nothing." Noctis' grip on my hands tightened. "You're not allowed to leave the palace until the bastard is dealt with. If you want to go into the city, ask someone to accompany you. Just make sure you ask me first before anyone else." I giggled lightly at his last sentence. "Alright, I promise. I'll ask you to be my knight in shining armor when I want to leave."

Noctis smirked and kissed me on the cheek. "I'll be back. I need to talk to my father." I nodded and he left me in his room. It was almost midnight so I decided to lay down. Within a few minutes, I was already fast asleep.

-Next Morning-

I woke up and found myself staring at Noctis' chest. His arms were wrapped around my waist tightly. A small giggle escaped from my lips. Noctis moaned and began to stretch in the morning sun. "Good morning~" I chant. Noctis smiles and kisses my forehead. We get out of bed and change into our normal, everyday outfits. Noctis told me what he discussed with his father. Apparently, King Regis sent a few guards to scope out my house in the city to see if they can catch the killer. "So, how long until I can go back home?"

"Not sure. We're trying everything to catch this man," Noctis replied. "I know you and everyone in the palace is restless. How about we get some fresh air and not talk about a murderer?" I suggest. Noctis takes my hand and entwined his fingers with mine. "Let's go."

Our day in Insomnia was one I would never change. We did countless of things together. By the time we were heading back to the palace, it was almost eleven. Once back at the palace, Noctis headed to his room to get something while I headed to the garden. I was smelling a few roses when I heard a noise from behind. "Noctis-"

When I turned around, a man I've never seen before was smirking at me. A knife glistened in his hand under the moonlight. "You thought you could get away?" He asked menacingly. I didn't answer the man and ran through the garden. The door was a few feet away until the man tackled me to the ground. "Get off of me!" I shout and try to push him off of me. He gritted his teeth and held his knife to my throat.

"I'm going to enjoy slicing into your beautiful skin." He traced the knife against my neck with a psychotic grin. I screamed for help, but the man slapped me. My cheek was throbbing in pain. "Hey!" A familiar voice shouts. The man grunted in pain and I took that chance to escape. I scrambled away from him and found my back against a wall. My eyes spotted Prompto aiming his pistol at the man.

"(Y/n)!" Noctis runs into the garden with a worried expression. Ignis and Glaido were following closely behind. "What happened to your cheek?" He gently laid a hand on my red cheek. I flinched at his touch and a dark expression takes over his features. He snaps his attention from me to the man. "You bastard!" He shouts. Noctis summons his blade and charges at the man. "Noct, don't!" Prompto shouts. Gladio stops Noctis from killing the man.

"Let me go! He tried to kill (Y/n)!" Noctis struggled against Gladio's hold. "His majesty will decide his punishment. Go help (Y/n)," Ignis said. Noctis glanced at me and his eyes widened. Gladio let him go and he ran over to me. Noctis wrapped his arms around my shaking for. "It's alright," he whispered sweetly in my ear. He picked me up in his arms and carried me to his room. Once we got there, Noctis laid me down on the bed. He was about to let me go, but I clung to him. "(Y/n)..."

"I-I was so scared..." I mumble through tears. Noctis  didn't hesitate to wrap his arms tightly around me once again. He ran a gentle hand through my (h/c) hair to calm me. "I'm sorry, (Y/n). I shouldn't have left you alone." I shook my head. "No, don't apologize. You didn't know he would be able to get into the palace. I'm just glad you and Prompto made it in time." The vision of the man tackling me was burnt into my mind. I unconsciously tighten my grip on Noctis' jacket.

"We'll talk to father tomorrow. For now, let's get some sleep. You've been through enough tonight. I'm just glad you aren't hurt." I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Noctis and I laid together in bed and fell into a deep sleep while holding each other.
