Poor Wayfaring Stranger by lithos-saeculum on AO3
Chapter 6/ Prompto sees the sun
He doesn’t know what Cor means. But Cor stands still, then, and doesn’t take him back inside, and he’s glad – he’s so glad to stand out here, high above the ground, and feel the warmth of the sun on his skin. He closes his eyes again, thinking about the way the warmth feels. But he opens them not long later, because he wants to look at it all. He wants to see. He wishes he could somehow keep an image of this, exactly the way it looks in this moment, in his mind forever. He knows he won’t be able to – no matter how much he tries to remember it, the details will fade or change – but he looks anyway, looks at everything, tries to remember the way the road shines with reflected light, the way the sky shimmers and seems infinitely far away and almost close enough to touch at the same time. He feels – light. Not light-headed, but as if he’s floating in a quite different way. And Cor frowns at him.
“Huh,” he says. “I didn’t know you knew how to smile.”
He realises that Cor’s right – he’s smiling. He tries to remove the expression from his face, but Cor puts a hand on his shoulder.
“It’s good,” he says. “Keep smiling.”
So he does.

So finally I come back with another one of these after like, months?
I have so many scenes from this fic that I want to make and so little time and determination to finish them, it’s killing me inside.
