This has probably been done to death, but whatevs. I hate when Noct gets out of his seat and when Iggy randomly starts driving like a madman. So, I did the logical thing and smashed those two concepts together into one shitpost! Bon appétit.
It happened to the tune of Gone. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone.
Ignis swears he didn’t do it on purpose. He swore to protect the prince, for crying out loud! It was just an unfortunate accident. An unfortunate and hilarious accident.
So, here’s how it went down: The guys were headed through Duscae with its particularly winding roads. Noct was sitting up out of his seat, butt on the headrest, and dirty boots on the Regalia’s leather seats. He had one leg propped up, stylish as ever.
Gladio was giving him the stink-eye every now and then, irritated with the dirt and the prince’s lack of respect for such a sweet ride. Prompto thought his bro looked hella cool, so he was taking some glamor shots.
Now, Ignis is one hell of a driver. But sometimes he turns the Regalia just a bit too quickly. He’ll get slightly distracted trying to keep his Ebony from spilling and he might swerve a tad. Usually it’s barely even noticeable…
It was when he took one of those sharp turns that it happened: One moment Noct was there and then the next he was gone.
All Ignis heard was Prom scream very, very loudly: “NOOOOOCT!”
It was a miracle no one ended up with a concussion with how damn hard Iggy slammed on the brakes. Everyone scrambled out of the Regalia once Iggy put the car park. (Noct still sourly points out how they all waited until the Regalia was parked to check on him.)
And there Noct lay: spread-eagle on the road, staring straight up at the sky, dead silent. His friends rushed to him, freaking out and checking his head. Ignis never apologized so much in his life.
The drive to camp was very, very quiet.
At camp, Prompto was going through his camera when he saw it: A picture taken of the exact moment Noct’s life flashed before his eyes.
The seriousness of the accident was long forgotten once Gladio mimicked Noct’s flailing arms and wide, gaping mouth. Even Iggy was able to relax and laugh. Noctis jokingly threatened Prompto to delete it “or else.”
Now, whenever Noct gets out of his seat in the moving car, Prom gets his camera ready. Gladio, however, always keeps his hand on the seat just a few inches from Noct’s foot… even when his boots are covered in dirt. And Ignis minds his turns.
