[Noct's grip on Prompto only tightens when he says that, eyes closed firmly. How... why do people fall in love with him? When they know that stuff like that is only going to bring them the pain when he... leaves. For good. Noct's face is buried in blond hair, heart close to breaking out of his ribcage.
This is Prompto. Prompto. Noct is not sure which feeling is stronger in him- the happiness or the sadness.]
As do I... I like you too...
[More than he should, more than it's allowed. But here, it's fine, right? He's allowed to love him... right?]
[ he still feels his own hesitation about all of this, but... it's better that the truth is out. right? there's not much worse than can come of it now that noct knows, and — prompto feels himself lose his breath with that confession, squeezing himself as close to noct as he can and clutching at him just as tightly. maybe there's a chance this won't go terribly wrong as long as they're here. as long as they're together. ]
Okay. [ he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, but his heart is flipping around in his chest. ] Okay. That's cool. [ and he pauses for a long while, the hesitation building up in the silence. ] I'm glad you're here with me.
[ and it definitely sounds cheesy, but that's all he's got. he won't do anything about it either unless noct wants it, so he just stays quiet and holds him. ]
[Noctis wants to promise him that he'll always be with him but- knowing of prophecy, he can't. Maybe, if they find a solution to it, he'll be able to say it, but right now, he doesn't want to outright lie to him.]
And I'm glad you're with me too.
[Forever at his side, as he promised. Noctis can feel his eyes sting a little and he exhales shakily, running his fingers slowly, comfortingly, through Prompto's hair.]
sorry for taking so long to respond to this
