[ 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.]
