Ports in a storm

In an AU, where it is Regis who gets hurt by the Marilith attack instead of his son, it’s up to Noctis and his friends to fulfill the prophecy together to rid Eos of the Starscourge._____________________________________________________________________Ignis springs into action, grabbing Noctis’ shoulders and gently guiding him down until he is kneeling on the floor.Prompto and Gladio immediately catch on and surround Noctis with their embrace at his back.Ignis lifts one hand from Noctis’ shoulder cupping his face, staring imploringly at the king.“We are with you. We’ll guide you through it.” Ignis rests both hands on his shoulders again, squeezing them hard.Noctis gives a terse nod in response, his breath had quickened and he had started to tremble. This time Gladio was sure it was not because of the Crystal.He has never seen Noct so scared.
