Summary
Nyx’s job is to take Noctis home—back to the Citadel—to seal him away again after a tiny foray into freedom but he wants to give him something. It’s irrational and illogical, Nyx shouldn’t care, he should just be protecting Noctis’ body from harm, that’s what he’s paid to do, but what good is all that effort if Noctis is just crumbling apart on the inside.
“Hey,” Nyx says softly. Noctis’ eyes fly up at once, meeting Nyx’s in the rear view. In the dim lighting the blue of them is all icy—Nyx suppresses a shiver and pretends that’s why. “You wanna drive back?”
Noctis sits up, eyes a little wide. Nyx looks away, has to, in order to avoid saying something they’ll both regret.
“You’d let me?” Noctis asks, voice barely audible.
Nyx shrugs.Alternatively: Noctis has always been more than just a job to him.
