reveal!au where clarus is driving regis around and everything is fine. everything is fine until they regis orders clarus to stop because regis-
feels something. feels something that feels an awful lot like magic coiling in on itself as though it wants to lash out but it doesn’t. for a moment regis thinks its noctis, wonders if his son is having a panic attack but this magic doesn’t feel like noctis but regis doesnt know who else it could be
so he gets clarus to stop the car, they wind up stopped outside an alleyway and even from within the car the two of them can hear jeers and taunts and what regis isn’t expecting is to see a group of people, a few of which are crownsguard, beating up a fucking civilian
(later Ace will argue that he’s probably the Least Civilian civilian)
clarus sees it too and steps out of the vehicle. because clarus has a Sense of Justice and isn’t going to let this happen and Regis is safe in the car.
regis watches his Shield approach the group, watches them scatter, or try to as they recognize Clarus and can see Clarus pull out a phone to call Cor to tell him that who needs to be discharged
Ace, for his part, was basically letting himself get beat up by a bunch of assholes because a) if he fought back it would give them fuel to make things worse for galahdians and b) he didn’t trust himself not to actually seriously hurt someone if he did fight back. Needless to say, he’s pretty damn injured. likely has a concussion if the bleeding from his head is anything to go by and maybe has a few broken ribs. still he manages to stagger to his feet when clarus is finished with the assholes and mutters out a ‘thanks’ before trying to leave.
Clarus doesn’t let him leave because Ace is injured and he isn’t going to let an injured man walk the streets of insomnia by himself fuck that. meanwhile regis blinks because when it was revealed that there were crownsguard where involved he thought the magic was coming from them but it isn’t.
its coming from the man that clarus has leaning against his shoulder while they wait for the medics that clarus called to arrive, its coming from a very galahdian looking man with amethyst in his hair. something in his mind clicks and regis steps out of the car.
ace looks up at him and groans
#aka reveal via ace gettin beat up! and clarus and regis stumbling upon it! IMAGINE THE GUILT REGIS FEELS
@sparklecryptid
*drools* SO GOOD. And yes, imagine the guilt Regis feels! This is his son this is his firstborn son who he sired and unknowingly left at the mercy of the world. This is his son, a Galadhian who had to flee his homeland with little more then the clothes on his back, this is a son whose mother is - gone (Regis knew Katrina, once upon a time. He knows she would never, never had let anything like this happen to someone she cared for. Katrina is most likely gone, and Regis - doesn’t know what to feel about that.) This is his son, a Lucis Caelum, who was just beat within half an inch of his life at the hands of Insomnians, at the hands of Crownsguards, no less - this is his son, staring at him with wide, wary eyes, his gaze constantly flickering to the sidewalk as if gauging the chances of escape.
Ace is tired.
Ace is tired and he hurts, both physically and otherwise (because he had to lie there and take the hits, because he couldn’t strike back for what it would have brought down upon his people.)
Ace is tired and is hurting and wants Nyx. Wants his husband. He wants his friends, wants Lib and Crowe and Selena, and he even wants his Uncle - Ardyn would know what to do, Ardyn always has a plan, damn him.
His head’s throbbing. His sides are aching. When he coughs, he coughs blood - and Ace is hoping like hell that that’s from the his punctured lip and from when he bit into his own cheek. Nyx might have been able to squeeze him onto the Glaive’s health insurance policy as a dependent, but he doesn’t want to test it.
Ace wants nothing more then for the hurt to go away. To cuddle up with his husband, and pretend that the world is just the two of them. But he can’t. His fucking father is staring at him, and Ace just - he has to deal with this. So he shoves his magic as deep as he can and ignores the renewed ache pounding behind his temples as he lets the medics fuss over him and dutifully gives out his contact information.
“When can I go home?” Ace asks them dully, and he isn’t surprised when the King takes an aborted half-step forward.
