[ v absolutely likes it both rough and gentle. either way, he hums gently when prompto says he wants to know everything about him.
he drags his fingers back and forth across his lower back, but it's almost distractedly - not meant to entice. ]
My birthday is April 1st. [ oops that's coming up soon. ] My childhood was... lonely. I spent it believing my brother and mother had betrayed me, and when I learned the truth, it was hard to reconcile.
I enjoy reading, but William Blake is one of my favorite poets. A collection of his is the first memory I have of something that was only mine.
[ prompto may have spotted a book, with a v emblazoned on it, in both his and nero's house, and v's as well. near mirrored copies of each other. ]
I am quite good at fighting, even if my familiars do most of the work. I am simply too weak now to fight on my own for long.
[ He's glad for the reprieve, even if a little, because it means he can catch his breath and focus on more important things. Like when V's birthday is, so close to Nero's, and everything else... Prompto frowns, leaning back to look at him and lifting his hand to tuck some of his hair behind an ear. If anything, at least he can commiserate with some of that. ]
I'm sorry. [ He rests his hand against the curve between neck and shoulder. ] I was alone too, you know. Never really had any friends until I met Noct, and my – I was adopted, but my parents weren't really ever around. Kinda grew up doing a lot for myself.
[ There's a shrug. He's not really too worried about it anymore, instead shifting the conversation a bit after he kisses at the corner of V's mouth. ]
I'm sure you've got lots of good memories now though. [ He hums. ] What's your favorite color?
[ v wants to ask if prompto remembers his family - because vergil did, and had. would a lack of them have made the memories any worse, or better? he wasn't sure.
instead, prompto changes the tone of the conversation, and v gives a gentle chuckle. ]
I do. We're making some right now.
[ as for a favorite color - ]
Blue, and purple. I suppose I like them both equally.
[ It's a good thing he doesn't ask because it's a lot more complicated than a simple conversation would allow, and he doesn't feel like now is the time to discuss that kind of thing. Besides, he's very much enjoying the sweetness of all this personal attention V is giving him. ]
Cool. I like those, but I like yellow and orange a lot more.
[ There's a lull where he kisses him, curling his arms around his neck. ] I also really like you.
Not all the time! Sometimes your aesthetic just doesn't include wearing the colors you like.
[ Besides, yellow would probably severely clash with his skin tone and hair, so of course he doesn't wear that. And orange stands out too much, which he sort of wants to avoid. Either way, that doesn't actually matter.
Prompto leans back to look at him, cupping the side of his face. ]
I'll take you out next time, okay? And make lots of other good memories together.
[ He goes with him easily, cuddling against him in a way he can rest his ear against his chest. There's always something so relaxing and comforting about being close to someone like this, and it certainly has nothing to do with the chroma they're generating. ]
I know I don't have to. I just... I wanna do a lot of nice things for you, V. And with you too.
[ Because who knows how long they actually have together in this place, he wants to say. Yet, it remains unspoken, fingers idly tracing down the length of V's arm. ]

[ as if he doesn't do the same thing! still, he leans in to enjoy prompto's space, taking the kiss with a soft expression. he's clearly teasing.
when he mentions liking v, he smiles again. ]
I really like you as well, Prompto.

I am sure we could pull off something if we tried.
[ prompto pulling back to curl a hand around his face and say he'll take him out next time, has him blinking a bit, flattered. ]
You certainly don't have to. I just thought this might be something nice and easy. I look forward to making more memories, though.
[ after a moment, he moves to shift - tugging prompto on top of him as he lays back on the sofa. ]
