why is he like this lmao

[burstmodes]

[ Prompto stares at his phone for almost ten minutes. Just one word, something that doesn't mean anything to him. He sighs, eyes closing for a moment. ]

hey
how's it going?

[devilbreak]

I don't know.
Just wanted to see if you were okay, I guess.

[Yep, it looks as dumb as it sounded in his head as he hit send.]

[burstmodes]

you know me
just hanging in there

[ He chews at his bottom lip, trying to decide what to type. ]

what do you mean you don't know how it's going??

[devilbreak]

Oh, okay.

[God, smalltalk was even worse over text. How does he tell Prompto everything that's been on his mind the past couple days without scaring him?]

I feel like I'm losing my mind. The way we left things was awful, and I don't know what's happening with us.

[burstmodes]

i don't either

[ He stares at the words for the longest time, trying to figure it out, but even this break is messing him up. ]

can i ask you something?
like for real ask you
and promise you won't get upset or mad about it

[devilbreak]

Yeah, ask me anything..

[burstmodes]

maybe i should have asked this earlier but um
why do you wanna be with me??

[devilbreak]

What?
Because I love you, and you're amazing.

[Which probably isn't a real answer if Prompto wants to really know. The next few messages come maybe half an hour later because the words take a while to get right and Nero isn't really good at this shit. He can't help but think that V would know exactly what to say in this situation.]

The first time I met you, you were really cool despite things being weird. And you could have easily told me to fuck off once we got out of that spa room, but you stuck around. You invited me to live with you. You've always tried to help me. Even when I'm being an idiot, or a mess, or confused about where I stand with you. It's frustrating sometimes, but you even keep stuff to yourself to protect me from..being even more of an idiot.

You're kind to everyone. You're fun. You're crazy talented. You're sexy as hell. You're a badass. You're adorable. You're my best friend. I don't really know what I'd do with myself if I wasn't with you, which is insane, and also unhealthy, but I don't care.

[Okay that last part was not well thought through and he hit send before he could really have second thoughts about it.]

[burstmodes]

[ It's probably everything he's wanted to hear and more, but even all of that doesn't help fill the hole of insecurity that's burned its way through his chest. Prompto reads those messages over and over, trying to figure out where to start. ]

i'm sorry

i guess i just wish i knew what to do
to fix all this stuff
and it's not because i don't care about you or anything
i hope you know i do
i'm worried that everything we've got won't be the same if we can't uh you know
if we can't have sex anymore
so i was worried about that too that you just wanted to be with me for that

it's all messed up and i hate it nero
i really miss you

[ Even if he has his own best friend there to help make him feel better, it's just strange. ]

[devilbreak]

Yeah, I know.
I don't know what to do either.

I want you close, but I'm scared I'll lose control of being myself again.
And I don't want to make you feel scared again. I hated that feeling.

AND I DONT CARE IF WE DONT HAVE SEX.
I CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

I can live without sex, but I can't live without you.

[burstmodes]

out of everything i don't think i'm worried about that
i mean...
i know you wouldn't hurt me
at least not on purpose

[ And it's completely different compared to the times he'd been hurt intentionally. ]

i don't want you to be unhappy
i don't think i could deal with knowing i did that

[devilbreak]

I could never hurt you intentionally.
My brain is hardwired to do the opposite.
I think if the thing happened any other time, you wouldn’t have gotten scratched up so bad, and maybe all of this wouldn’t have happened as bad as it did..

At least we can avoid that situation easily.
I just assumed seeing me like that scared you, and I’m not sure yet whether I can control that enough that you wouldn’t have to see that again..

I’m sorry, but I’m going to be unhappy until you can safely come back home.
But like I said, I can’t force you to come back if you don’t feel ready.
I can only hope that you’ll feel ready one day.

[burstmodes]

how easily?
i don't know a time we haven't uh you know
when we haven't been together i guess

[ Is that a stupid thing to worry about? ]

i can try to come back
i mean maybe for a night and see how it goes?

[devilbreak]

I mean, I might forget, but you won’t.
So in that sense it’ll be sort of easy?
I’d try to do better about it, too.

Even if it isn’t easy, I think it’s worth a shot.
We have to at least try.

[burstmodes]

[ That's kind of the opposite of effort, but he feels like a third wheel staying with Noct now that Lunafreya is there. So... what choice does he have? ]

i know
then i'll see you tonight?
or tomorrow if you're busy

[devilbreak]

[Even if the decision is made because Prompto is picking the less shitty of two shitty options, Nero will take it as a win.]

I'm not busy.
Tonight is good!

[burstmodes]

ok then i'll see you tonight
wanna watch a movie or something?

[ See what's on Lunatia cable TV and all that. ]

[devilbreak]

Sure. I’ll see what’s on.
What do you want for dinner?

[burstmodes]

oh uh i dunno
we can have whatever i'm not picky

if you want me to bring something on my way over just let me know

[devilbreak]

I'll surprise you.

Also, don't worry. I'm not cooking.
I'm ordering out.

[burstmodes]

cool
then i'll see you later?
just tell me if you change your mind on me grabbing something before then

[devilbreak]

Yeah, no.
I'll take care of everything.
Just, please come home.

[burstmodes]

yeah just for tonight though

[ That's important since... well, he still doesn't know how he feels. ]

i'll see you soon

[devilbreak]

Yeah, I know.
See you.

[burstmodes]

[ Strangely enough, he's anxious about this. It shouldn't be a big deal since nothing's going to happen, but Prompto is running over all these weird scenarios in his head anyway, not bothering to take anything with him since he's actually going to be staying at his house. It'll be nice to use his own shower and sleep in his own bed, and it'll be nice to see Nero too. (He hopes.)

And he shows up like he says he's going to, knocking even as he lets himself in. Strange, sure, but he doesn't want to catch him by surprise if he's in the middle of something. Which is also why he calls out to him too. ]

It's me! [ A pause as he wrestles with his shoes. ] Did you find anything good to watch?
