[prompto finds him where he thought he would; a smile and a wave, he pushes further inside, sitting down at the edge of the bed, his back to noctis. he knows for a fact how much the other hates being looked when he isn't at his best.]

Thanks for havin' me.

[is what he mutters, rubbing at the small puppy's belly.]

[but prompto does turn towards his best friend eventually, smile still on his face]

Look, it's my new friend.

[is he talking to the dog or noctis? doesn't matter, because in a matter of seconds he sets down the small dog onto the mattress, and she carefully and hesitantly tries making her way on the soft material under her paws]

Found her at the shelter. I fell in love immediately when she tried to keep up with me while jogging during our walk. Lasted a whole thirty minutes, which is a lot more than what you ever managed.

[a bigger smile still, the tiny dog heading over to the lump that is noctis, trying to climb atop him and giving up, preferring flatter terrain]

Cute, huh?

[ He hasn't been awake long, so he's still rather groggy. As Prompto comes in with his back turned, he purses his lips. He's not asking for him to pretend nothing is wrong, just--

Oh.

Prompto turns around with a small little puppy in his arms, and his expression shifts to admirable curiosity. Noctis sits up slowly, watching as the little ball of fluff tries and fails to get under the sheets. Noctis absolutely adores animals, so there's no way he can stay grumpy in the face of this cute little thing. She scampers into his lap as soon as he sits up pawing at his chest. He manages a smile, despite the little jab at his hatred of jogs. ]

She is. Hah-- Hey, you.

[ She whimpers playfully at his sudden demeanor shift, hopping to try and reach his face. Noctis doesn't deny her in the slightest, picking her up so she can lick at his chin. ]

Kind of a sudden decision, isn't it? You already have one dog.

[prompto 100% knows that noctis loves animals. still smiling, he's pleased at his decision to bring her here, even if he's still a bit unsure about having adopted her at all.]

Mm, I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I kept her here? Rufus, too.

[almost on cue, rufus comes up, the clicking of his nails on the polished marble floor. he goes on over to nose at prompto before going over, tail wagging, to the side of the bed to meet noctis. he may also be trying to sniff at the tiny pupper]

Speak of the devil... My room's coming up too small as it turns out.

[he speaks fondly, and removes the bag from his back, looking inside for a bag full of snacks from the grocery.]

Hungry?

[he's got some chicken sandwiches and a sports drink]

[ He can't be mad. Honestly, he could use the company, so the thought of watching over two dogs doesn't at all bother him. Noctis has only seen Rufus a few times, but they've already become fast friends. Well, at least from Noctis' perspective.

Noctis holds the tiny pup in one arm, the other reaching to Rufus to pat his head. ]

What's up, big guy?

[ Prompto had a great idea. Dogs are an instant upper in situations like these. Noctis turns his attention back to Prompto. ]

Uh... Sure. Why not? I've got enough space for them.

[ Noctis scritches Rufus' head, looking to both of them for a moment. He hears Prompto's next question, though his gaze lingers on the small white pup. She nips at his nose briefly, which makes him flinch, but he exhales the slightest chuckle.

He'd been feeling absolutely awful a second ago, and the idea of eating something seemed impossible. Now? ]

I could eat.

Hell yeah, me too!

[energy levels rising, prompto kicks off his sneakers and climbs towards the middle of the bed, sitting himself down. he puts the sports drink (yellow and deliciously hydrating) on noct's side and opens up the plastic container with the chicken sandwiches. there's twelve total, and prompto thought they could share.]

These ones are highly nutritious. Don't worry--no veggies in them. But they're creamy and a bit spicy. Here!

[you need to put the doggos down, bro]

I'll make sure to come around to take them for a walk in the mornings, after class, and at night. I'll bring their food and bowls too. I mean, I got some in my bag already... but, toys, also. I'll take them to their vet appointments as well. You won't need to move a finger, honest!

[ Rufus seems to be keen on doing his own thing, where he's freed once he realizes Prompto has food. The sweet puppy, however, is back to licking wherever she can reach on Noctis' face. It brings another laugh, his hands delicately holding her close. She's absolutely adorable, and he can't help the slight pause when Prompto promises to do the dirty work.

Noctis doesn't say anything to it. But he could...

He has to stop, placing the little one down and patting her head. She putters around the bed, hopping about and pouncing the little bump in the sheets that Noctis' feet make. He wiggles them around for her even as he turns his attention to Prompto. He takes a sandwich, opening the container. ]

Smells good.

[ He's still not entirely used to having a friend take care of him like this. But he doesn't seem put off by it once he takes that first bite.

You got him to eat!]

[prompto smiles fondly. it's a victory whenever noctis gets to eat something. and, besides, he looks so much more livelier than he did a minute ago. his not-plan plan really worked out; he's especially more relieved that noctis agreed to take in his dogs. his place is really too small.]

Pretty good, huh?

[prompto also grabs at a sandwich, biting into it. rufus gets massively interested and tries climbing on the bed and atop prompto's lap to try at the sandwich. prompto gives him half.]

[...this makes prompto so happy]

I've been trying to think of a name for her. Thinking Tiny since she's so small.

[ Noctis doesn't bother trying to put the puppy onto the floor. She's perfectly fine here, and Noctis isn't even bothered by her nestling in his lap and begging. It's cute. And he... maybe just took a piece of bread from the sandwich to give to her. He scratches her fluffy little head. He's still in a world of pain, but this makes it easier to bear. ]

Tiny. I think that fits.

[ Noctis takes another bite of his sandwich, speaking slightly with his mouth full. ]

Mm--

What about you? Sound good?

[ She wags her little tail, barking. ]

Can't argue with that. Tiny it is.

[this is fantastic, prompto thinks, and is quickly taking his phone out to take pictures of the puppy. don't worry noct, only your hands will be showing]

Glad you're getting on so well already. C'mon, eat up some more!

[he pushes the container with the sandwiches closer and then removes himself from the bed, picking up at the stuff strewn all over the floor. clothes land in the laundry basket and trash gets thrown in the bin, whereas things that fell off the table get back on the table.]

I'm thinking you could set up her bed here on this corner of your room. What do you think?
