CLOSED for prompts | OPEN for fills
Please have a look at the extended rules here.
The important rules in short:
Please direct any questions or report any problems to the Ask a mod post.
Prompt, write, draw, comment, and most importantly have fun!
(You can also check out our Pinboard for Filled or Unfilled prompts)
UPDATE 3/2/2017: Per the Rules thread: Do not hijack prompts. If someone posts a prompt for one pairing, don't comment to say "I want to see this for [other kink]" - post your own prompt for the other kink). To that end, if you are unclear on a prompter's kinks/DNWs, please feel free to ask about them. If you ask about kinks/DNWs or to clarify a prompt, you are in no way obligated to fill it.
Additionally: Do not repost prompts from the previous round in their entirety. By this we mean copying and pasting prompts without any changes. If you see a similar prompt to a prior prompt, that is not a repost. Obviously prompts that are reposted per the above rule do not count either. (After all, they will be similar but not the same.)
ROUND TWO IS NOW CLOSED FOR PROMPTS!

Fill: 5 times Noctis pulled rank and the boys let him...and one time they didn't (5/6)
Date: 2017-03-04 04:18 am (UTC)Ignis and Gladio entered the room together. The prince sat on his bed, his back toward them. From the drooping of his shoulders Ignis guessed the boy’s state, but it wasn’t until they came around and saw his face that he realized the intensity of the situation.
Noctis had a split lip, and a dark bruise under his left eye.
He knelt in front of him. “Highness…!”
Noctis sniffed and turned his head away, as if he was ashamed.
“What happened?” Gladio growled. In his head Ignis admonished him for the tone. He knew the older boy was angry about what happened to the prince, but that anger could easily be misinterpreted by Noctis as directed toward him.
Sure enough, Noctis sent a wary look toward Gladio before staring at his own lap. He said, “I got into a fight. I--I didn’t mean to. They were shoving around this fat kid I see around from time to time. He’s a nice kid. Never hurt anyone. But they were shoving him. Calling him names. I told them to stop.”
Ignis made sure to use the gentlest voice possible. “And then what happened?”
“Nothing. They ignored me. Just kept beating up on the boy until he was on the ground crying. I couldn’t take it so I stepped up and blocked their path.”
“And?”
“The lead guy just pushed me aside. Said he had no time to deal with the son of the king and that I should go back to my servants in the palace. Then the rest of them did the same. They pushed me back and gathered around the kid. He was still crying. I made me so mad.”
He looked up and Ignis saw shame on his face.
“I yelled at them. Yelled really loud. Told them if I am the son of the king then they should listen to me and stop what they were doing. I said…I shouldn’t have said it…but I said ‘I’m the prince of Lucis and I order you to stop.’ That’s when they turned to me.”
Ignis heard Gladio swear under his breath. He didn’t move his eyes from Noctis though and when Noctis wanted to drop his head he put a finger under his chin and raised his face. “Highness, why did you say that?”
“Because…because they were hurting him and I didn’t know what to do. Because I’m supposed to be the protector of the people, aren’t I? But I can’t even protect one boy. I’m useless.”
“That’s not true, your H--,”
“Damn right you are.”
Ignis looked up at Gladio in shock. The teen had turned around and was looking at Noctis with a frown. “You’re a waste of our time if you can’t even handle a bunch of kids. What are we doing training you if this is what you do when things get tough.”
Ignis wanted to spring up and pull Gladio out of the room, ask what had gotten into him. Then he saw a flicker in his eyes that made the penny drop. He looked back at Noctis, saw the boy close to tears.
“Highness, are you going to let that stand? He just insulted you.” he said in a level voice.
Noctis turned his watery eyes to him, “He’s right though, I’m…”
But Ignis shook his head, stopping him before he could finish. “You’re the crown prince. You should be respected. You shouldn’t let anyone push you around like this, not even Gladiolus.”
“Oh, let the little runt wallow in his misery. That’s what he does all the time. Chicken shit is what he is. Shame to think this is what the Lucis Caelum line has come down to.”
“Highness, if I were you I would tell him to quit it and apologize. You have to honor your family name. Letting him insult you is akin to letting him insult your ancestors, your dad.”
Noctis perked up. His eyes widened and his hackles rose. Ignis smiled inwardly though he made sure none of it showed on his face. “Order him to stop speaking and to take it back.”
“I,” Noctis said in a tiny voice, “I order you to stop speaking, and to take back what you said.” He didn’t look at Gladio, as if he were scared. His eyes remained on Ignis.
Gladio barked a nasty laugh. “Oh, is that so, your highness? You order me. Well let me tell you where you can shove that order.”
Noctis’ face flushed. He squeezed his eyes shut and balled his fists as he yelled, “I won’t let you insult the Lucis family. You are ordered to apologize for the way you talked to me and stop being a bully.”
“Louder Your Highness,” Ignis whispered in his ear, and his heart lifted when he saw the prince jump up from the bed and face Gladio. “I order you to shut up,” Noctis yelled, “I order you to quit and apologize. Apologize for talking to your prince like that.”
He was so small he had to look up at the muscle bound young man. His voice, even though loud was thin and high pitched. Yet in that moment there was a commanding aura about him that made Ignis stand up and stare. Gladio became quiet. He too noticed it, the glow of courage radiating about Noctis like a majestic cape that wrapped around him and made him seem tall. Gladio took a step back and Noctis walked close. He spoke in an even tone. Strong and confident.
“I am Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum. I am your crown prince, and your future king. You watch how you talk to me. Now apologize and swear your loyalty to me.”
Gladio immediately went to one knee in front of Noctis and lowered his head. He spoke with quiet regard and admiration. “I am sorry Your Highness. I was out of line. It won’t happen again. I am your loyal shield.”
Ignis saw the relief in Noctis’ eyes, the small smile that darted across his lips before he put a tiny hand on Gladio’s shoulder and told him to stand up. Gladio did so with grace, then pulled the boy into a tight hug which the prince fell into, quietly weeping against his shield’s large body.
Ignis felt proud. This was a turning point. Between him and Gladio they would teach Noctis to become a king. It was their duty, the purpose of their lives, and they took pride in it. He saw the same sentiment on Gladio’s face when he finally looked at him and smiled.
They would make sure that one day Noctis would defeat all bullies and sat on the throne.
