Summary
“Her or Cindy?” Noct prods.
“Aranea or Cindy? Oh. Wow. Okay - uh,” Prompto makes a noise, like he’s torn and trying to decide, “Let me think about this for a sec.”
"I’ve no doubt both of them can wait,” Ignis teases.
Prompto doesn’t need time to think though, not at all. The choice is easy to make. Neither.
Because neither of them are Noctis.Alternatively: Noctis comes out on the road trip and Prompto's world changes forever.

Summary
"Did they say anything else about me?" Prompto dares to ask.
Aranea makes a thoughtful sound. "Not that I can recall."
Prompto's heart sinks. "...Right," he murmurs.
Of course not. Of course Noct wouldn't take the time to - not after everything that had happened -
"His Highness was so worried about you he could barely speak," Aranea adds, "But don't worry - I whipped him into shape."
And there is it. A tiny little spark. The knowledge that Noct still cares about him. Still wants him around, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Prompto promised to stay by Noct's side no matter what, he just didn't realise that would be put to the test so soon.Alternatively: Prompto hadn't thought the worst was behind them and hates when he ends up being right.

Summary
Noct does what he was supposed to do and the dawn comes for the first time in ten years and now all that remains is to put the world back together again.
Ignis stands by Prompto's side, remarkably relaxed considering everything that’s happened.
“It’s not what we were expecting,” Ignis concedes quietly.
“No,” Gladio agrees, “But when is it ever.”
“It’s better,” Prompto says, “At least to me, it’s better.”
Ignis gently squeezes his shoulder.
“It’s perfect,” Prompto breathes.Alternatively: Prompto thought he might be busy once the dawn finally came again but he didn’t expect to planning a wedding. Not for himself anyway.
