[ he doesn't really know how it's supposed to work either, honestly. if he hadn't been here and he'd met kara somewhere else, there wouldn't be any question as to what he wanted with her. but with everything that happens in the city, prompto knows she's right; it wouldn't be fair to either of them. faithfulness is such a tricky concept in a place like this, and he appreciates her trying to figure it out. this is why he likes being with her so much, he thinks. among other things. ]

We can still be together, but we talk to each other about stuff? Like, about anything? [ it'll be harder because they're both dominants, so it's not like they could ever be with each other that way either. ] I think we can figure it out as long as we do that. [ which is pretty optimistic, all things considered, and because they're so close from when she'd kissed his forehead, prompto leans in to kiss her cheek. ] What do you think?

[ it's a small compromise, but he had faith they'd work it all out. ]

( most of her current memories are of duplicity. back home, it was barely a weekend's worth of event and it feels like her newness to, well... everything leaves her awkwardly floating out at sea. yet prompto makes it sound easy, well easier and she nods with a happy hum coming from her throat at the kiss to her cheek. )

I think that sounds like a good place because, you're right, as long as we can talk to one another it should be fine. ( she seems terribly pleased anyway. ) And I'm sure there's little things we can do for one another to make things special.

[ admittedly, he's not the best at talking about things, but he does try if it's important. prompto thinks kara is important, and he wants to prove that he can be someone she can rely on despite the circumstances they have to deal with every day in the city. and so, this time, when he draws back to look at her, there's a faint blush staining his cheeks. ]

Cool. [ wow, he sounds like a dork. ] I mean, yeah. Yeah. It'll be really fun. I've never – [ how does he explain this without sound like a complete idiot? he ducks his head a little in an attempt to collect his thoughts. ] This is the first time I've ever really, um, been with anyone. Like this.

( in turn, she gives him a smile in its more familiar brightness and gives his hands a soft squeeze. if anything, she wants to prove that she can also be someone that he can rely on if needed despite all the strange that has become their everyday here in the city. it's nice to see the flush of color to his face though and chuckles, clearly happy. )

Then I guess we'll both be learning as we go along. ( she glances off briefly, considering her thoughts before leaning in again and placing a soft, chaste kiss against his lips. ) But I think we'll be just fine, we'll figure it out together.
