( 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!! )
