[Of course he can't teach him that. It's not something that can be taught. Noctis isn't even sure why he asked that, really. It came out of him before he could catch himself.

Falling for Ezio... he was trying to catch himself, but every time they speak or spend time together, it's like the ground is removed from underneath his feet and he's left falling into the abyss.

They are doomed. To love each other but never remain together.]

Just... promise to not forget me... okay?

[There were so many promises that Ezio wanted to make. So many things he wanted to make a certainty, to act as if he alone had the power to make it so.

But he didn't have the power to make sure he would remember Noctis anymore than he had the power to keep him from dying.

So he lied, the words sounding desperate and heavy, like he was trying to convince himself just as much as he was trying to convince Noctis.]

I won't. I promise. [Because surely his heart would remember, even if his mind forgot.]

[Noctis knows that his request is unreasonable, that there is nothing out there that will make certain they will remember each other when they go back to their worlds.

Still, hearing it makes him feel more at ease, and his eyes slip closed.]

Thank you...

[A soft sound falls from his lips, a sigh forced to sound contented at the last moment despite feeling anything but.

Lips press into the mess of Noctis' hair, against a temple and again at his cheek, before settling back, letting the heat of the water soothe over him.]

[It's probably not smart to doze off in the water, for various reasons. But Noctis just can't help himself. He is in Ezio's arms, lips pressed against his skin, fingers idly resting on his body- it feels like the most secure place in the world right now. So can you blame him for wanting to nap?
It will be light dozing, Noct tells himself. Ezio will wake him up easily.]
