[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis has to wonder if he's struck a sensitive spot or something, because that is a lot of typos and rambling that happened just now. He knows a startled Prompto when he sees it. ]

of course i was
i kinda had to prioritize the fact that you werent taking care of yourself first
you really thought i wasnt paying attention?

[mercurio]

i was so nervous of how you'd react to it!
i really really want this to happen
that's why i'm working so much

[kittycaterer]

even if you want to start this up entirely with your own two hands
just say the word
im there

[mercurio]

is it... too late at night to want to sleep with you?

[kittycaterer]

[ Oh.

Oh...............................

Noctis totally just slipped out of bed to yank his sweats on. ]

ill be there in 15

[mercurio]

[prompto did not expect that response. he gets out of bed, shoving his feet into whatever shoes he's got in the closet]

okay

[noctis is really going to come? what is this romantic garbage? he felt so shitty earlier, and now his heart is doing flips.]

[he walks out of the apartment, silently, and waits for noctis while looking out the hallway's balcony]

[kittycaterer]

[ He absolutely is coming over. All in his bed-tousled glory, hair a mess and him simply in a loose-fitting shirt and sweats. Noctis quietly leaves the apartment, lest he wake up Ignis.

Within roughly 15 minutes, he parks his car outside, seeing Prompto at the balcony.

Noctis makes his way towards the door, no need to knock since Prompto's already seen him. Once the door opens, he's all smiles. ]

15 minutes exactly. Maybe I should try and beat that record.

[mercurio]

It's two in the morning.

[he says instead, awed by the time rather than by noctis's punctuality. he embraces his boyfriend tightly--feeling himself get washed over with emotion.]

[things are going to be okay between them]

...Cloud's asleep, so, be quiet.

[he pulls back, keeping close, hand on noctis's shirt, as he leads the way inside the apartment proper and then to his room. he closes the door behind them, and makes way for the bed, immediately pressing close]

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis’ smile gets a little lopsided and modest at the mention of the hour. It’s no trouble at all to him; he’d drive cross-country at this hour for Prompto if he had to.

The embrace is sudden, but not at all unwanted. Noctis wraps his arms around Prompto in kind, washed over with relief that everything’s okay between them. He’s not allowed to linger long, however, before Prompto tugs him by the shirt into the apartment and in his room.

He’s quiet as instructed, even as they both collapse onto Prompto’s bed. Noctis scoots back, providing ample room, tugging Prompto close to him. His voice is at a whisper. ]

Better?

[mercurio]

So much better.

[is the quiet confession.]

[he looks up, a smile on his lips, and then returns to nuzzling against noctis's chest]

[he hopes he doesn't need to say it--and he probably doesn't, honestly--but noctis's presence here is everything. he feels safe, wanted, cared for. together with noctis, he feels happy and confident enough to take on any challenge. his better half, pretty much.]

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis isn’t the best at gauging things. He misses a lot of hints still, awkward as he is. But he’s gotten better. He wants to continue to get better. For Prompto’s sake.

As Prompto seeks to nuzzle close, Noctis opens up to facilitate it. He lays on his back, Prompto effectively draped over him as he runs his hand over his shoulder and back. He presses his nose into his hair, closing his eyes as he hangs on to the affirmation. ]

Good.

[ Because that’s what his job is. To make Prompto stronger as a person, to lift him up when he’s down. Argument or no, nothing is worth the sacrifice of their closeness. Prompto doesn’t at all need to say it, because he feels the same way. He wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for this guy. ]

[mercurio]

I got work super early.

[his language is slurred--no surprises there, sleepy as he is way past his bedtime]

Y'can sleep in. I won't mind.
