[From this]
“So, my car. The one I’ve had for the past thirty years. The car that was the most advanced thing on the entire planet back in its days. The car that my father gave me. The car where I keep my most treasured, dearest memories. The car that represents all of who I am. You- you…gifted it. To some garage boy.”
“…eh well yeah sorta I guess
(・・; )
“
“Hm. So. Uhm….” *gesturing with a hand like he’s about to say the sky is blue and hates to feel this idiotic* “…why?”
“DAD HE’S DROP DEAD G O R G E O U S, I PANICKED, I WAS DESPERATE, I NEEDED HIM TO COME ALONG AND DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO CONVINCE HIM AND HE LIKED THE REGALIA SO I THOUGHT HEY MY DAD IS KING AND THAT CAR IS 30 YEARS OLD HE WON’T MIND AND I DIDN’T THINK- HE’S SO CUTE DAD I’M SORRY BUT YOU HAVE TO U N D E R S T A N D AAAAAAH (」＞＜)」

Hahahahahahahah!! Oh, Noct x)
Good thing is Prompto didn’t actually accept the car, just liked driving it around for a bit and insisted Noct keeps it (because it’s not even Noct’s, in the first place!).
I love how Regis, instead of going mad or angered or all ‘what’ or anything, even before he’s thinking that maybe Noctis just found who he wants to share the throne with when his time comes, even before thinking his awkward lamppost of a son has a crush on someone, the first thing that he thinks about is Clarus and “how dare he wasn’t as easy to woo as this boy, oh my god, it’s unfair.”
And there’s Regis, standing next to Clarus, both watching the prince and this blond boy go away in the king’s car. And instead of showing concern or something, like it’s sort of natural, he just goes
“Look how easy he just got his future husband. It’s unfair, I had to work so hard for years to court you. Why weren’t you as easy to woo as being given a car and that’s it?”
“Because I don’t even like cars, Regis, you know it.”
“See why it was so hard to court you?”
“That makes no sense, cars have nothing to do with successfully wooing someone or not.”
“But it would have been easier. Would you have immediately said yes to me if I had offered the Regalia to you?”
“Regis, we were already dating by the time you got the Regalia.”
“Right but would you have said yes?”
“Regis, that makes no se-”
“BUT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID YES, CLARUS”
You know what, Clarus won’t even really take the time to explain to Regis that the prince never actually successfully wooed him (and no, Regis, clinging to my leg and screaming “what else do you want I’m offering you THE ENTIRE KINGDOM” doesn’t count, I thought it was a joke) because Regis is charming and outgoing and all you want but he’s actually sorta dumb when flirting, and that Clarus was actually already his ever since he has memory of it.
He’ll just laugh a bit, hug Regis, kiss his head, and tell him ‘Yes, I would’.
These cheesy dads

Regis, chin resting in his hand and looking Noctis in the eye: “So, son, I have been made aware you gave my prized regalia to some boy, is that correct?” Noctis, trying to vanish: “Uh, yea, that’s about it” Regis, biting his cheek: “May I request details as to why?” Noctis, a disaster: “He’s g o r g e o u s dad. He liked the car. I couldn’t not-!” -some time after Noctis left to Prompto in the royal garage- Regis: *looks to Clarus* “why weren’t you as easy to woo as being given a car”
