~(Y/n)'s POV~

"It's so hot..." Prompto complained. The Regalia had broken down in the middle of nowhere. The sun was high in the sky and scorching everything in sight. Prompto and Noctis were laying on the ground, trying to cool down. I was examining the engine and trying to find the problem. If I could find the problem, then I could fix it with a repair spell.

"What's taking so long?" Prompto whined. I sigh and roll my eyes at him. "If you'd stop complaining, I could find the problem and we'd be on our way," I fired back. "Sorry..." Prompto apologized. "It's fine, just... Hold on." I casted an ice spell to cool everyone down. "Thank you, (Y/n)," Ignis said. I smiled and went back to the engine. My eyes finally found the problem. I fixed it with a spell and sighed in relief.

"Done," I announce. As I close the hood of the car, Gladio pats me on the back with a smile. "Good job," he praised. I smiled back and felt my cheeks burning a little. I knew it wasn't from the heat. "Let's make sure to stop by Hammerhead and check to make sure everything is alright," I said, keeping my voice steady. When Prompto passed me, I saw a grin directed towards me. His eyes flicked towards Gladio and I knew he picked up on my crush. I glare at him which makes his whole body flinch.

We all got in the Regalia and headed to Hammerhead. Once we arrived, Cindy began her work on the car. Apparently, there was more damage to it than we had known. I was waiting outside of the garage, keeping myself occupied with spells. A small sphere of water formed in my hand and I manipulated it to look like flowers. I froze it with ice and examined it. With a little more tweaking, I finished the flower. The end result was amazing.

"Woah!" I jumped and almost dropped the flower. I quickly caught and glared at who scared me. "Prom, you almost made me drop it!" I shout. He apologizes, but the grin never leaves his face. He came over and poked my cheek. "You. Like. Gladdy!" With each word he poked my cheek.

"Prom," I growl his name. After few minutes of teasing me he stops poking my cheek, but my glare doesn't break. "Just tell him! I think he likes you, too," He tells me. My hope started building, but I knew he could be wrong. "I'll do it when I'm ready," I lie. Prompto's grin turns into a smile. He leaves with a skip in his step. I roll my eyes and glance sadly at the flower.

I decided to head into town and look around. As many times as we've been here, I've never actually been able to look around. I held the ice flower close to my chest so I wouldn't drop it. Hours pass and I spotted Noctis. He was running towards me at full speed. "Noct?" He stops in front of me, panting for air. "I can't find Specs. You're the only other person who knows first aid."

"Who needs first aid?" I ask, confused at the situation. "Gladio." Noctis grabbed my wrist and dragged me to where Gladio was waiting. Once we arrived, I saw blood dripping from his forehead. "What did you do?!" I shout at the man. He just grins and groans in pain. I place the flower gently down next to me. Noctis brought me the first aid kit and I began working on his wound.
I wiped the blood off and I was confused.

"Gladio?"

"Yeah?"

"There's no wound..."

Gladio began to laugh nervously. I glare at him with a frown. "What's the meaning of this? You had me worried!" I toss the cloth into the first aid kit. "I did it to get you alone," he admits. My glare softens to a confused look. I waited for him to continue, but Prompto interrupted us. "We found Iggy!" He announces loudly. "He wanted to see you about Gladdy, (Y/n)."

I nodded and thanked him. Before I could leave, Gladio caught my wrist and yanked me towards him. My head landed on his chest and he wrapped his other arm around my waist. I knew my cheeks were burning hotter than the sun. "I overheard you and Prom talking."

"... How much did you hear?"

"The whole thing."

"Oh no..."

I tried to squirm out of his arms, but he tightened his grip on me. After a few minutes of squirming and struggling, I tire myself out. A sigh escapes my lips as I give up. "You done?" He asked with a grin. I nodded and leaned against his chest. "Prom was right about one thing," he said. I lean my head back enough to look into his eyes. "About what?"

"That I like you." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Gladio actually likes me more than a friend. "Well, I have one problem," I said and snapped back to reality. Gladio raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I don't like you... I... Love you." I shy away and hide my face in my hands. "(Y/n), look at me," his deep voice whispered. I shook my head and dug my face into my hands further. Without warning, Gladio spun my body around. He grabbed my hands and pried them away from my face.

Without a single word, he smashed his lips on mine.  The kiss was deep, long, and passionate. I've never been kissed like this in my life. Gladio broke away and I was gasping for air. Gladio and I were about to kiss again but Noctis interrupted us. "Am I interrupting something?" He asked with a smirk. Then, it finally clicked. He knew Gladio wasn't injured and was a conspirator.

"Noctis!" I shout and he begins to run away. I break free from Gladio's embrace and take chase. As I headed after the prince I could hear Gladio laughing behind me. "You're next, Gladiolus!" He stopped laughing and stormed of as well.
