[ In all fairness, he's only half-listening.

It has nothing to do with the story or with the way Gladio talks – he actually really likes hearing his voice, that low, deep rumble that somehow manages to twist his insides a little (in a good way) – and everything to do with him being a lot more exhausted than he'd thought. He drifts, chuckling at the idea of Gladio being mad at someone (a real shocker) and hums in acknowledgement of exactly where Ignis had gotten him. In fact, it causes him to shiver, and he presses even closer to Gladio, tucking his face against his shoulder as if he can hide from his thoughts. Maybe it would be okay to mess around until they got tired or something, and he's just about to open his mouth and ask when Gladio follows up with that.

Prompto immediately sits up, balancing on his elbow again as he looks at him. It's not a hard expression by any means, considering his mouth his slightly ajar, but there's that familiar glint of excitement in his eyes. ]

No way. [ No way. That hadn't been what he'd expected at all. ] Are you kidding me, dude? All that build-up, and you're telling me you dreamed about that kinda stuff with Iggy? [ Give him a second. His mind is reeling. He rolls away and flops on his back, staring at the ceiling for a second or two before he starts laughing. ] Did you ever tell him? Wait... I guess not since it's a secret, huh? You ever have any others?

[ He definitely heard that implication, but he isn't sure if it's something he should be thinking about. Honestly, Prompto's been lucky in that he hasn't actually had super erotic dreams like that about his friends, but there's always the likelihood that he could. Well, before all of this. Now, sometimes, he'll wake up so turned on because of something he could only vaguely remember happening—and with Gladio, no less. He doesn't know if that counts though, having sex dreams about someone you're having sex with. Still... ]

You don't have to go into detail or anything. I'm just curious. [ And he shifts back to look at him, eager and just as bright-eyed as he had been when it had finally clicked into place. ]

( he figures prompto isn't expecting what gladio tells him, but his reaction is still cute. he doesn't bother to stop the laugh that builds deep in his belly. he doesn't think it's a big deal. it's just a dream. and, it's not like it's a big secret that gladio likes strong people. getting bested in a fight by noct's advisor was a blow to his ego, but still...really hot. even now gladio remembers it. clearly. )

Nah, I didn't tell him. Not really. But, it's Iggy. He just knows shit without having to be told, so I'm pretty sure he knows.

( it probably didn't help that gladio had such a strange reaction afterward. for, like, a week. but, it hadn't done anything to their friendship. so. gladio assumes it's all fine and natural. no big deal.

he turns just a little more on his side so he can look at prompto better. he wonders if he should say no, or make something up. but, gladio's not really prone to lying and...all things considered, he doesn't think it'll hurt anything if he tells him about another one. again, he starts touching prompto because...that just seems to be a thing he's going to be prone to doing now, he guesses. but, he likes the way prompto feels under his hands. sue him!!!! )

But, uh, yeah. I've had others.

( he makes like he's thinking about it, but he's really not. gladio's hand smooths up over prompto's shoulder and back down his arm. he smiles a little and chuckles softly, almost like he's embarrassed. but, he's not. he never is when he should be. )

Remember when Noct was using that great sword for a while?

( he already knows that prompto's probably thinking this is going to noct. gladio curls his hand around the back of his arm. rubs his thumb slowly back and forth. )

Don't really remember where we were, but that doesn't really matter anyway.

( his hand moves down until he finds prompto's. lifts it so he can press them palm to palm before he shifts just enough to slot their fingers together. )

Right in the middle of everything, the two of you switched weapons. ( gladio laughs again, genuinely amused and delighted. not disparaging in the least. ) I knew you were capable, but that impressed me. Made an impression on me, I guess -- seeing you handle something you had no training in. Couldn't stop thinking about it, so...

( he trails off, leaving it there with a wave of his hand. )

You and Iggy are part of the same elite club.

( lmao no one wants that, gladio!! )
