[mercurio]

are you telling me
that the first time you saw me after waking up
was me with grey eyes??

[kittycaterer]

yes because they're grey

[mercurio]

what's your eye colour?

[kittycaterer]

blue
dont see your point

[ Clearly someone hasn't paid attention. ]

1/2

[mercurio]

send me a selfie
eyes open!
show me those dark blue eyes of yours

[mercurio]

or should i say............./grey/

[kittycaterer]

no

[ In truth, he's self conscious. But he'll play this off as him not wanting to play into Prompto's game ]

[mercurio]

i'll give you the scepter of the crystal caverns if they're blue
i know you're behind so imagine that bonus against all the high level bosses

[kittycaterer]

are you bribing me to keep up your dumb game?
keep going

[mercurio]

i also got like a hundred spare earrings i could sell for a load of goal
dunno what the hell to do with them

[kittycaterer]

[ DAMN IT.

Noctis sighs, falling back on his bed. He just woke up from a nap, and he's been sitting in bed the whole time. Not a good day to get out of bed. Definitely a bad pain and well-being day for sure.

Noctis doesn't say anything, and he holds the phone up to take a selfie. And god, is he a mess today. It's far enough that he doesn't notice initially when he takes a picture, all messy-haired, pale, and with baggy, dark circles under his eyes.

He sends it without fully inspecting. The next response comes at another slight delay when he notices that his eyes are also grey. ]

what the hell?

[mercurio]

LOLLLLL TOOK YOU A WHILE
nice zombie look tho

[kittycaterer]

shut up
i cant believe i just wasted time arguing about eye color

[mercurio]

[mercurio]

i'll make sure you get some vitamin d in you

[kittycaterer]

today isnt a good day

[mercurio]

are you okay?

[kittycaterer]

youre worried
stop that

[mercurio]

last time you were in hospital was almost seven days ago
i try not to be worried but.. it's hard
why is today not a good day?

[kittycaterer]

even before i was in the hospital, i had problems prompto
i have good days and bad days
today is a bad day
ill be fine


[ Which basically translates to he doesn't want to get out of bed. And he's pretty embarrassed about it. ]

[mercurio]

can i come over and hang out?

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis takes a long time to respond. Upwards of 20 or so minutes agonizing over a reply. He's used to people fussing over him, but that's in terms of doctors and his father. It's different when it comes to a person who was apparently your best friend for a long time and is trying to be your best friend again after losing your memories. He's not used to having friends, much less a friend this close.

Eventually, Noctis comes around and reminds himself this guy found him unconscious in his apartment, then waited over him in the hospital for months. Even going as far as sneaking in past visiting hours and hiding under his bed. He kind of owes the guy a bit more credit and leeway over his own personal self-esteem issues. ]

sure

[mercurio]

i know we talked about it before but....
if i'm being too much you gotta let me know
last thing i want is to make you feel worse about stuff

[prompto knows noctis has bad days. they talked about it, months back. obviously, noctis doesn't remember. and prompto doesn't want to say that he knows since he doesn't want noctis to distrust him.]

but i promise i'm not gonna be there to "check on you"
just to hang out
if today's not a good day at least let's both have some company yeah?

[mercurio]

i was out on a walk and i'm done with my shift at the shelter
i'm bringing you a present and some snacks
