Voice: un coffeebreak

[coffeeandfire]

[His voice is soft, determined but sad.]

I'm just calling to make sure you're okay. Noct is worried, as am I.

[He takes a deep breath.]

He won't die, Prompto. I won't let him. If the Gods need a blood sacrifice, they'll get it, but it won't be Noct.

[burstmodes]

[ he listens to the message several times, and each time, the guilt comes back even harder than before. maybe he'd overreacted, but... how is it okay to just accept that noct is going to die? how can noct think it's okay? and hearing ignis say that – he doesn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves or die because there's always a way. there has to be.

about an hour later, he sends him a text. ]

it doesn't have to be any of us either
i just can't get behind that iggy
there's gotta be a better way

[coffeeandfire]

Gladio thinks the same. If


If we know that we have ten years to figure it out maybe we have a chance.

I'll find a way even if I have to fight Bahamut myself.

[burstmodes]

maybe we should get together and talk it out

we have time
being here's given us that too
there has to be something we can do

[coffeeandfire]

Yes. We will find a way. We should speak.

I swear to you, Noct won't die.

[burstmodes]

do you think gladio will want to?

[ he's lived through so much more than either of them already, and... maybe this is all just some pipe dream. ]

i just need some time
sorry
i thought i was ready for this

[coffeeandfire]

He's already expressed an interest in doing so.


Prompto


How long will you continue to run?

[burstmodes]

[ he doesn't want to cry anymore, not when he's already been crying for the last who knows how long, but that questions causes his eyes to burn. ]

i don't know
i'm really sorry iggy

[coffeeandfire]

please, stay with us.

[burstmodes]

i'm not going anywhere
i just need some time to figure stuff out

[ he's also convinced that noct hates him, so that's something he's dealing with too. ]

[coffeeandfire]

right.

[Ignis is worried. He's so worried, and he doesn't know what to do. He's never been good at the emotional aspect of interactions. And honestly, he feels a little like he's breaking.]

I'm here when you're ready.

[burstmodes]

thanks iggy
i'll try to be a better friend
i mean the next time we talk

[ even though he doesn't know when that's going to be. it makes him feel worse, and all he can do is turn his device off for a while and try to think about something else. ]

[coffeeandfire]

take your time.
