Prompto isn’t angry because he still isn’t sure he blames Noctis for shoving him off. He could name about a dozen reasons that make no sense to anyone but himself. He’s inexperienced, he’s foolish, naive, annoying. Prompto isn’t angry because for some reason, he’s just stupidly happy by comparison to his past moods that he’s got the jitters. Because seeing Noctis here is both soul-crushing and fantastic; he’d be a liar if he said he didn’t miss him terribly.
He would also be a liar if he had said he isn’t a little terrified here.
But he isn’t sure what he expects. Ignis has gone out of his way to name off why Prompto matters. Why he isn’t some soulless soldier meant to ruin the lives of his friends. But gods, no matter how many times he mentally re-runs those words in his head, there’s still such a strong part of him that combats it. He should hang on to this, he should be better, because now Noctis is reassuring him and Prompto can’t help but feel a slight modicum of guilt to it.
He knows they find him. He’s learned that much. But the “before it’s too late” part is slightly scary. Because he only just left Aranea to ride off in hopes of finding everyone when he offer was sprung on him.
But wow, he didn’t expect Noct to up and address this. And... So thoroughly. It’s rare that Noctis talks this much. It’s got Prompto a bit flustered, and he sees those eyes flick to his wrist. Prompto purses his lips, curling his hand tight over the wristband. ]
I know. Uh... Iggy told me.
[ He’s so bad at this. He was able to talk extensively about this with Ignis but it’s seemingly different with Noctis. Maybe because Noctis is the prince, his king, and while Ignis’ opinion means so much to him? Noct’s a whole other subject entirely. Because he’s constantly wanting his approval, his friendship, and Prompto finds himself scrutinizing his own mind every time he’s around the guy. He’s just that important.
So, he dodges talking more on the subject. This month has been a lot. ]
Oh!
[ He perks. The effects are still very much there from the pollen, making this easy to move forward. At least attempting. ]
We should go find Ignis. He’s gonna flip when he finds out you’re here.
