#so- it's happier cos nyx knows at least one of his kids survived
Note
Ok, first, yeah I was talkin about the happy version of Phe Ulric - I read the one shot on ao3 and it wouldn't leave me alone. Thanks for the fic :D
Moving on to the angsty version, what do you think about the possibility that, once Cor bring the bby!Prompto to the Citadel, somebody realises that hmmm, Nifs experimented on the kid, better check carefully none of it will kill him.
Which would quite plausibly include DNA analysis, if they suspect some gene tampering was happening. Cue, the system raising the flags, because some of those sequences look very LC-like.
Congrats, Regis. You have a new relative, with some others possibly in the wild somewhere. (Whether it's Ardynson or Regisson Nyx is up to you)
you ah-
you realise this would be more angsty, right?
cos like- regis would probably raise prompto alongside noct, once they were sure that there wasn't any sorta hidden weapon shit about him. the media hears all about his distant cousin, orphaned young, poor boy, and the king- taking him in when he's newly widowed, a young son of his own, ruling... how good of king regis, their king is a good man
everyone knows that the boy likely doesn't have enough lucis caelum blood to have magic, after all, since the last relation to have children outside of the royal family was the rogue's youngest. but then, noctis will surely give his cousin magic when they grow, it means nothing. what a good protect young prompto will be
the world over hears of the new prince with his blond hair nd his blue eyes and his lucis caelum blood
the whole world hears it
and nyx-
nyx knows
how can he not? how can he not recognise that hair, those eyes, in the blurry newspaper photos? how could he not recognise his son? how could he not recognise the boy he failed?
nyx knows
his son is alive (he left him there). his son is alive (someone else saved him because nyx left him, he didn't find him, he left him in that hell). his son is safe (nyx didn't save him)
and his son, phe- no, prompto is being raised by a loving father, alongside a brother, and nyx-
nyx has the marks for dozens of unnamed children etched upon his chest. he has Ty and Cas and Pol and Alala and Phe written over his heart and he has failed all of these children
he failed them all and-
how could he ever tell prompto lucis caelum that? how could he ruin that boys life? how could he dare to try and make a space for himself when phe already has a father, now?
(he doesn't deserve it)
and why would they even believe him anyway?
nobody knows
nyx- he couldn't bring himself to tell anyone. so full of shame of hatred of grief. his mums, libs, lena - he knows they know something. they've seen the tattoos on his chest
they don't know
nobody needs to know
everything is better as it is. phe will be better as he is. the king of lucis can give him far more than nyx ever could
(he managed to give phe a life when nyx hadn't even been able to manage that)
it's better this way
(nyx has to believe it)
