FILL: 2/?, Nyx/Noctis - AU, caught screwing the boss's son
Date: 2017-01-07 06:18 am (UTC)“Sorry,” Gorgeous Mystery Man repeats, somehow managing to hover anxiously even though Nyx is taller than him. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
“Hey, really.” Nyx places his dry hand on GMM’s shoulder. There’s a surprising amount of muscle hidden under that suit jacket; it must be exquisitely tailored. “It’s fine. I’m not hurt and I have extra clothing in my locker. All that’s wasted is fifteen minutes and a cup of coffee.”
“Well,” GMM pauses to squint at Nyx’s badge, “Nyx Ulfric, thanks for being so forgiving. I’ve got to run, but I’ll owe you a cup of coffee, okay? Are you stationed here all the time?”
“Monday through Saturday,” Nyx confirms. “I patrol, but we all check in at the Security desk. You don’t have to pay me back though--”
GMM shakes his head. “I’ll take you out sometime,” he says, before checking his watch and swearing. “And now I really have to go. See you around, Nyx.”
“Bye,” Nyx says dumbly. The view as he leaves is pretty spectacular. Nyx watches until GMM turns the corner, and then he finally looks down at himself.
“Aw, shit.”
“So what happened to you?” Libertus says when they’re standing in line for lunch. The food truck is good and cheap, but staggeringly unhealthy; they only go once a week.
Nyx unloads everything that happened with Gorgeous Mystery Man. Libertus listens with a nonplussed expression until Nyx trails off, tugging at the braid behind his ear.
“Well?” he demands.
“I was actually asking why you were late this morning,” Libertus says slowly. “But sure, we can talk about your sexual crisis.”
“Oh,” Nyx says after a long pause. Then he recovers quickly, because at heart he’s a shameless bastard. “Yeah, this is much more interesting. So. You’re pretty good at romance. What should I do?”
“Well,” Libertus says. He’s wearing his number seven ‘dealing with Nyx’ expression, which is a mix of fascinated horror and resigned anticipation. “You could ask for his name.”
“I got that,” Nyx says. “I mean, how do I make him like me?”
This is when they get to the front of the line, and they take a break to give the truck their orders. Nyx gets the tonkatsu sandwich like he always does, while Libertus requests the Galahad skewers. Then they shuffle off to the side to wait.
“It sounds like he already likes you,” Libertus says. “Or else he wouldn’t have asked you out for coffee. So you don’t have to do anything.”
Nyx squints at him. “You’re not just saying that to sabotage me, are you?”
Libertus throws his hands up in the air. “And have to deal with more of this?” he says, looking upwards imploringly. “If I could turn back time, I would never have asked about your morning.”
Nyx takes pity on him and allows the change of subject.
“My neighbor’s cat got out again,” he informs Libertus. “I had to help her catch it.”
“Of course you did.” Libertus slaps one upraised hand to his face. “How are you a real person. Why am I friends with you.”
“You love me,” Nyx says cheerfully. Their names are called from the food truck. Ah, yes: good food, torment of Libertus, a coffee date with a beautiful stranger. Today is a good day.

I SWEAR THE NEXT PART WILL ACTUALLY HAVE THEM INTERACT i'm sorry this is so slow orz

Date: 2017-01-08 02:31 am (UTC)Writer!anon, please take your time! :D I know from personal experience that writing isn't something you can force, and I can tell you take great care in choosing your words. I know I said it before, but I really do love all these little details you insert. Every line is like a shiny coin in this treasure chest of a story, and I look forward to every one of them. ;w; It would be impossible for me to point out every part I love, because I'd just end up quoting everything! x_x Suffice to say, I'm very grateful you've taken the time to fill this, because again, it's beautiful and better than anything I could've imagined. So, thank you!
Like, again, your tone is just spot-on perfect, and I adore the way you write these characters and how they interact with each other. The anticipation is killing me, but the journey to more Nyx/Noct interaction is wonderful, too! I loved everything about this part, from Nyx being able to appreciate Noct in a suit as much as the rest of us (*q*) to knowing a coffee date is just around the corner. And I especially enjoyed the conversation Nyx and Libertus had. xD I just had this huge grin on my face during that entire scene.
Again, I'm super eager to see more of this awesome worldbuilding, and I'm also really glad that was what drew you to the prompt in the first place. ;w; Really looking forward to what else you've got planned, writer!anon! (Like, I keep thinking about Izunia, Inc turning into Caelum Corp, and Niflheim Exports having previously been a near monopoly, and you've got me excited wondering if you've a plot hidden up those talented sleeves of yours, aaaaah *OP stops before embarrassing self further*) Good luck!
long comment is long, I'm sorry OTL
