[ prompto already knows the answer before it even comes. it's not like it's hard to figure out anyway, especially after everything that's happened, but it's still a lot considering how things had slowly started to fall to pieces. he thinks it might have started around the time people began disappearing from duplicity, a thing he's still having a lot of difficulty accepting, even now, and because they've never been good at talking about their feelings or anything important, it had just started to build up. now, it's like dealing with an aftermath that he hadn't been there for, grateful for the touch when noct nudges him. ]
I get that. Everybody's got days where they just wanna stay in. [ the pause that follows is more on prompto's behalf than noct's, unsure if he'll find the motion comforting or not. still, he reaches out to take his hand, moving a little closer so his thigh is pressed to noct's knee. ] If you want, we can build a pillowfort and keep livin' in here for a while. Iggy probably wouldn't worry as much then.
[ it's a light comment, almost teasing, and kara can be blamed for prompto's thought about pillowforts since she'd had one permanently setup in her apartment for the longest time. ]
[Noctis has honestly starting to think that he brought nothing but bad luck to people around him. So, his not-so-smart brain came to the conclusion that if he's not around other people, they won't get in trouble.
Communication has always been a problem for Noct, and things like these didn't help much. While he should probably tell Prompto about the sword, it's too easy to slip into Prompto's "groove" and just go along with it.]
Am I allowed to stay in forever then? [Noct tries to laugh and his lips twitch, his hand squeezing back Prompto's. Maybe a bit too tightly than he intends. As if Prompto will disappear in jaws of that Hell.]
Pillow fort... we didn't make those in a while... yeah. Let's do it.
