[ huh. still suspicious. prompto finds a spot to plop down so he can focus. ]

of course buddy
anything you need
what's up?

[Well. Here goes nothing-]

What do you think about Ezio?

Ignoring the assassin stuff. Just- Ezio.

[ oh... shit. shit. does he know? there's no way because he'd never said anything, and prompto is so nervous that he isn't even sure what to say for a second. keep calm, prompto. keep calm. ]

dude's pretty cool i guess
and i mean
not too bad to look at either

[ why did he say that?! ]

did something happen?
should i kick his butt for you

[Well that gets a raised eyebrow. Noct didn't know if anything happened between them before, but now he's a bit suspicious. Good job, Prompto!]

No, he's definitively not bad to look at
And no, he didn't do anything
That I know of

Do YOU know something?

what no?!
no i was just
i dunno
you should tell me what's going on before i get ideas
what about ezio??

[ he's trying to be cool. noct certainly doesn't need to know about their accidental late night sexting sessions or anything like that. nope. ... unless he decides to come clean. ]

["tell me so I know what I can tell you" huh?

Should he do it? Ask it outright? He'll probably give Prompto heart attack.]

nothing rly
I was just thinking about him and you
and started wondering what you think about him

[...he doesn't want to sound like a 'stalking girlfriend']

you sure there's nothing?

[ a heart attack might be better than the anxiety attack he's beginning to experience right now. should he be honest with noct? he wants to be because they're best friends. and other stuff too. ]

um well
i wouldn't exactly say nothing...
but you first

what kinda stuff were you thinking about??

[Well then. If this isn't a confirmation then Noct doesn't know what is.]

Nothing DIRTY if that's what you're aiming at
compared to your thoughts

I just noticed that he's gotten a liking to you
But I couldn't tell what YOU think because you're always too nervous around him

Now spill. What happened?

[He acts like an idiot. He's not actually stupid.]

[ oh good. except... not good? prompto has lost control of his life. ]

i'm not that nervous!!!
it's just
i dunno i can't explain it
he's scary cool you know?
and um........

[ shit. he's between a rock and a hard place and definitely not in a fun way. ]

not sure what you've got going on with him
but promise you won't get mad?
it's not really a big deal

Yes you are that nervous
And end up blushing
I didn't know why but I think I starting to get a hunch

He's my boyfriend

[He makes ten seconds pause on purpose because he can almost feel the panic?]

But we're open because I know what kind of person he is

Case in point
I'm not mad at all trust me
I'm
how do they call it?
Morbidly curious

oh

[ should he be upset by that? maybe. someone else probably would be, and for a few seconds, prompto reads that line over and over and just feels... inadequate? an over-all sense of dread? of course something like that would happen, and prompto's just now finding out about this because he's still second place, still nothing. always too late to do something about the way he feels. it's a flurry of thought that he squashes down and refuses to look at right now. this isn't about him. he doesn't need to make this about him. ]

it's not anything really
we just text sometimes
and we hung out once
you know usual stuff...

[ he feels even worse for lying. but how can he just come out and say "i accidentally sexted your boyfriend and then something happened one time"?! he can't. but in some ways, he hopes noct calls him out on it so he stops feeling so guilty. ]

Prompto

Don't make me hunt you down
Tackle you
And tickle the truth out of you
All the truths

I swear with everything I have I'm not angry
And you're not overstepping anything
Ok?

Wait- he didn't hurt you right?

[Boyfriend or no, Noctis will whoop Ezio's ass for that.]

nah he didn't hurt me
i dunno how it happened

[ it's one of those things where his fingers text before his brain can catch up. ]

you know how this place is
somehow he got a nude from me
and then it just rolled down hill very fast from there
but it happened again after that?
then someone said something and i was over at his place

i was just

[ wow, he's freaking out for some reason?! he suddenly can't breathe. ]

sorry
i don't have to talk to him anymore or anything
i'll respect that

Wow dude do you read text that I send you?
I said

I'm NOT angry

Read it a few times.

Second- well that's a turn of events
I mean, who can say no to you? Even I can't
Rather
I don't want to

And I'm not banning you from seeing him either, that's just stupid
as you said
THIS PLACE

Huh. You two do look cute together, now that I think about it

i know i know
i'm just

[ scared. stupid. a lot of other things he can't think of right now. this is part of what he doesn't want noct to see. ever. though maybe he blushes a little bit at the words. ]

i wanted to tell you but i didn't know how
it's not like i know what's really going on half the time

man you're the worst!!!
don't say stuff like that
it's not that cute

Why would you have to tell me?
It's your private thing
The fact that I'm morbidly curious is not your fault

Again- what do you mean by that?
I s2g I lose a year of my life from your phrasing

[Not knowing what goes on half the time = someone drugged me to have sex with me in Noct's brain]

Am I the worst?
Or is Ezio?
Hmm
I have an idea that COULD possibly make me the worst though

because you're my best friend
isn't that stuff you tell the person you're closest to??

[ or is he being a total girl about this. answers point to yes. ]

what do i mean about what?
what idea?
are we gonna get in trouble...

True but it's not like you're obligated
Besides!
Didn't you go GROSS when I told you I jumped Ezio at the balcony?

I want details.

Are we?
Maybe?
Depends.

You said things went down during texts, right?
What if we send him a short
clip
of us making out

By ACCIDENT, of course?

yeah but that was before uh
you know
what kinda details are you wanting exactly?

[ prompto squints at that suggestion and then feels his face heat up. ]

i mean
do you think that'd be okay?
what if it's not something he's into
what if he just wants stuff with you
or i dunno nothing at all

I dunno
Whatever you want to share

Why wouldn't it be?
I mean
Unless you don't want to do it because it's me
then I get it

But he definitively doesn't want to do stuff just with me
Otherwise, the relationship wouldn't be open

It comes down to whether you want it or no :)

i'll think about it and tell you later
maybe we can hang out or something

[ and then noct can see first-hand how embarrassed he is about this stuff. ]

but anyway
it's not like i would mind
i don't think?
i guess we could give it a try and see how it goes
if you really wanna do it i mean
i trust you

Sounds good to me
if you're curious you can ask stuff as well
;)

[If Prompto ends up blushing a lot Noct might just tackle him]

We'll get into the details when we see each other
but I just want you to know that
if you don't feel like doing it
don't force yourself, okay?
I don't want you feeling uncomfortable and weird about this because of me

can't wait to see you :3
love ya~

yeah yeah
we can both tell each other our deepest darkest secrets 😝

are you coming here or should i go to you?
just gotta know so i can get some stuff together
and if it's not cool i'll tell you
promise

[ prompto just stares at the last text like he's never seen words before, his heart racing. he's losing his mind because he's pretty sure he's got the world's biggest crush on his best friend now. ]
