In this one, Prompto was born in Lucis, not Niflheim.

"Alright." Dawn sighed, taking Prompto's plate and setting it to the side, she then sat down across from her son and stared at him.

"What's got you so bothered that you're refusing to eat?" She asked. This had been going on for a few days. Prompto hadn't been eating and hadn't been sleeping very well either. Dawn was starting to worry for her son.

"I..." he hesitated. Would Dawn understand what he was going through right now?

The blonde looked up at his mother. Dawn was a strong woman. Despite being short (5'3", just 1/4 of an inch under 5'4") she was one of the most terrifying women in the crownsguard. Scars decorated her arms, torso, legs, neck and one small one on her chin, proving how many fights she'd survived.

Her olive green eyes were constantly filled with determination, something Prompto had inherited from his mother, determination normally filling his own sapphire eyes. Her auburn hair was cut short and normally held back out of her face by a tattered tan ribbon that had been given to her by Prompto's father when they first started dating, except for the bangs on the left side of her face falling down the side of her face. Something that made her look both domestic and scary at the same time.

The dark framed glasses on her face made her look closer to her age as she looked closer to Prompto's age when she took them off. Her skin was pale and dotted with freckles, like Prompto's.

Her face was constantly set in what kids Prompto's age called a "resting bitch face" but when she was concerned for Prompto, she took a more tender look.

"Would Mom understand me on this? Then again, she has spent the past nineteen years raising me alone. Maybe she would know how I feel, since she's never told me who my dad was..." Prompto thought. Dawn sighed and grabbed his hand.

"Honey, I'm worried. You haven't slept nor ate properly in days and I can see the dried tears on your cheeks. Please tell me what's wrong." Dawn begged softly. Her face was set in that tender look again.

"Oh, god how do I say this?" Prompto whispered to himself, grabbing his hair with his free hand and closing his eyes. Dawn stroked his hand softly.

"I... uh... I'm in a relationship... I think..." he said. Dawn raised an eyebrow.

"You think you're in a relationship." She said. Prompto sighed.

"I don't know how else to describe it, Mom. I.. I sleep with him... a lot." Prompto said.

"That's about as much of a relationship your father and I had, Prom." Dawn said with a skeptical face. Prompto sighed heavily.

"I know, I know, but... I love him... I love him so much that it hurts and that's why I let him do this..." Prompto said.

"Do what?" Dawn asked.

"Make love to me. But..." Prompto stopped.

"But?" Dawn asked, rubbing his hand encouragingly.

"This is going to make me sound bad." He sighed.

"Prompto, I'm your mother. You can do a lot of bad things and I'll still love you. You're my baby boy." Dawn said and kissed his hand.

"He's engaged." Prompto said. Dawn was silent.

"They aren't going to marry for a couple of years. It's an arranged wedding. So he sleeps with me. But, I just... it hurts, Mom. I love him so much, but he's going to marry a woman one day. And I'll just... I..." Prompto stopped himself before he started crying.

"Prompto... have you been seeing Prince Noctis?" Dawn asked softly. Prompto wanted to smack his head on the table, but he only tightened his grip on his hair.

".... yes..." he said weakly. Dawn said nothing. Only staring at her son.

"I know I shouldn't with how he and Lady Lunafreya are supposed to marry soon, but I love him. I love him so much. I love it when he holds me and kisses me. I love it when he smiles at me and strokes my cheeks. I love how calm he looks while he's fishing. I love his laugh. I love everything about him but... I think I'm just... I don't know what I am to him." Prompto cried.

"Ask him." Dawn said. Prompto looked up at his mother. He had been expecting her to lecture him about having a royal affair. Not this.

"Wha-what?" He asked with a hiccup.

"Ask Noctis what you mean to him. Confront him. Ask if you mean anything to him or if you're just a play thing." Dawn said. Prompto stared at the hand his mom was holding. Slowly, he shook his head.

"I can't. I can't! If I ask, he might push me aside! He'll leave me! I can't! I can't live with out him, I can't confront him in thi-" Prompto was cut off by Dawn slapping him.

Prompto was shocked. Never in his life had Dawn ever struck him before. Even in his earliest memories, he only remembered a lot of scolding when he did something, but other than that, when he'd hide in his room while his mother's work friends were over, he'd overhear her telling them "he's shy, but he's my good little boy."

"Pull. Yourself. Together." Dawn said darkly. Prompto looked back at her. There was a mix of anger and disappointment in her eyes.

"Damn it, Prompto, you're a human being, too and you deserve to be loved. If Noctis is just going to use you, then you need to know that's all you are to him so you can let go and move on. Find someone who will love you the way you love him and give them your love. You deserve to be treated fairly and I'll be damned if I just sit here and watch my son tear himself apart for a man that won't return his affections but use him for sexual pleasure alone. You deserve to be loved, Prompto." Dawn said.

Prompto looked away from Dawn. She sighed and released his hand. She stood from her chair and walked over to him. She pulled him in to a tight hug, stroking his hair and holding his head to her chest so he could hear her heartbeat.

"It's going to hurt, baby. But its better to know and try to move on before you get destroyed. I know that. If I had known your father was going to leave me after he got me pregnant, I would have found someone else to be your father. I won't let you be walked on the way I was, Prom. I love you too much." She said. Prompto hugged her waist.

"I love you, too, Mama." He said with a shaky breath.

"I'm gonna see Noctis tomorrow night." Prompto said.

--

Sure enough, Prompto was in Noctis's bedroom once again. Noctis had the blonde pinned to the bed, kissing him passionately while trying to undress him.

The conversation with Dawn surface in Prompto's mind and he pushed Noctis away.

"Babe? What's wrong?" Noctis asked.

"Everything..." Prompto sighed, pushing Noctis off of him and sitting up.

"What do you mean?" Noctis asked.

"Everything, Noct! Everything about this is wrong! You, me, us! All of this is just wrong!" Prompto said.

"Did I do something, Prompto?" Noctis asked.

"Noctis, you've been sleeping with me for two years, and I just can't do this anymore! I can't just keep letting you fuck me when you're going to leave me!" Prompto said, tears building in his eyes.

"Prompto, calm down and come here. You're freaking out." Noctis said.

"You're engaged!"

"To a woman I don't love!" Noctis shouted. Prompto froze and stared at the dark haired prince. Noctis sighed.

"Yes, I'm engaged. In an arranged marriage. Luna is my friend. She's practically my sister. I've been trying to talk dad out of it and she's been trying to talk her older brother out of it. Neither of us want to marry each other." Noctis said.

"Then-" Noctis leapt off the bed and grabbed Prompto's hands, pulling the blonde closer to him.

"I love you, Prompto Argentum. You and no one else. There's only room in my heart for you. That's why I do this. Because if Luna and I are forced to be together, then I want to be with you as much as I possibly can before I'm ripped out of your arms." Noctis said.

"You... you mean that?" Prompto asked, tears building in his eyes. Noctis nodded.

"You're everything to me, Prompto." Noctis said softly. Tears started down Prompto's cheeks. Noctis was quick to kiss them away.

"Shhh, don't cry. Come here." Noctis pulled Prompto to his chest and kissed him tenderly. Noctis stroked his cheeks softly. Prompto dropped his head to Noctis's shoulder, starting to cry hard.
Noctis held Prompto close and placed soft kisses on his cheek.

"Come on, Prom, don't cry. You'll break my heart. I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to make you feel used. I wouldn't do that to you. I love you, Prompto." Noctis said.

"I-I love you, N-Noctis." Prompto cried. Noctis kissed his tears away and picked him up.

"Shhh. Let me bring you pleasure, baby. Let me make you happy." Noctis whispered, unbuckling Prompto's belt with one hand as he laid him on the bed. Prompto wrapped his arms around Noctis's shoulders and kissed him. Noctis kissed away Prompto's tears. Noctis slipped his hand under Prompto's waistband and slid to his member. Prompto moaned against Noctis's lips when he started to rub him.

A knock at the door interrupted them. Noctis growled in frustration.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"Dawn Caramella, Your Highness." The voice came.

"Shit." Noctis whispered.

"A moment." He called.

"I know my son is in there, Your Highness." Dawn said with a tired voice. Prompto sat up and adjusted himself.

"It's okay, Noct." He said. Noctis huffed. Prompto kissed his cheek and smiled lovingly at the prince.

"I love you." He said. Noctis smiled and kissed him.

"You may enter." Noctis called. Prompto wrapped his arms around Noctis's waist and rested his head on his shoulder. Dawn stared at them with one eyebrow raised as she entered. She sighed softly.

"Prompto, it's time to go home." Dawn said. Prompto unwrapped his arms from Noctis.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Noct." Prompto smiled over his shoulder at the pouting prince.

The walk to the car was silent. Once Dawn pulled off of palace grounds, she started.

"I take it you didn't confront him." Dawn said.

"I did." Prompto said. Dawn looked at him.

"He loves me, Mom. He really does. I'm not some sex toy to him. He really loves me." Prompto said.

"Are you sure he's not just playing you?" Dawn asked.

"I'm sure, Mom. There weren't any lies in his eyes when he told me he loves me." Prompto said. Dawn released a breath of relief.

"Thank the gods for that." She said.

A few months later, the betrothal between Luna and Noctis was dissolved, and Noctis proposed to Prompto almost immediately. Of course he said yes.

The End.
