[mercurio]

[it's not the first time he's used crutches, unsurprisingly, so he gets the hang of them pretty quick. it's like getting back on a bicycle after years of not doing so. he walks alongside noctis, crutches first, then his feet.]

[the doctor most likely advised that prompto sleeps and rests up, the reason for his fall being exhaustion. you can tell it in his eyes, with the bags under them, with the way he reacts a little bit slower. he offered noctis sleeping pills in case sleeping was a problem, but really it's just prompto overworking himself.]

[he hums at the question, walking out towards the car]

Yeah. Stings a bit.

Were you doing anything when I texted you?

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis is fully aware it’s because of exhaustion. He’s seen it in the way he walks, the way he interacts. It’s obvious that his injuries are due to it, but he’ll wait to bring that up when they’re home.

Noctis unlocks the car door, opening the passenger side for Prompto. ]

Beating your high score in King’s Knight. Which I did.

[mercurio]

[he sticks his tongue out, getting inside the car in a swift movement and loading up the crutches between his legs, closing the door and waiting for noctis to get inside.]

Can we play some when we get there?

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis gets in the car, smirking lopsided to his bragging. It fades into a normal smile as he puts on his seatbelt and starts the engine. ]

Sure.

Specs has probably made lunch about now. Sandwiches, I think.

[ Because he’s going to continue encouraging Prompto to eat. ]

[mercurio]

I gotta have something to eat with the medicine.

[he knows this to be truth, because the doctor told him that it's a pretty heavy dose.]

Does he know I'm headin' home with you?

[kittycaterer]

I called him before I picked you up.

[ Which basically means yes. Noctis starts driving onto the road, headed for the penthouse. He smiles with relief that Prompto intends to eat something.

Once they get to the first light, Noctis starts: ]

I think you’re overdoing it, you know. You got home so late from your last shift, you couldn’t have gotten more than three hours of sleep.

[mercurio]

[he gives noctis a tired look. not because it sounds like he's nagging, but rather because he is tired, and the plush seats of the car and the barely-there hum of the engine is doing wonders in lulling him to sleep.]

Yeah... Some of m'hours get a little crazy, I guess.

Soon as a full-time opportunity comes up I'm dropping the rest though.
