Recolle AU/OU COMBO BREAKER PSL - Prompto, Ignis and Noctis
[ Often times, Noctis would wonder when he would become like the normal citizens of Recolle. When he would become blissfully numb and unaware of the oddities that often fell upon those who lived there. With the Retrospec app comes the strange awareness of everything, and when it's taken away? Nothing.
He watched Gladio go from being in disbelief to the world around him to being completely unphased. As if he didn't even notice anything. Often times, Noctis wishes the same would come of him. The second he opens his eyes to an unfamiliar apartment and equally unfamiliar bed, he realizes he's not even one step closer to that.
The alarm buzzing from the cellphone on a nearby nightstand is unfamiliar as it yanks Noctis from a dead slumber. His eyes open to the morning light spilling through the windows, and he rolls to his side to turn off the offending sound.
It's not his phone.
Noctis sits up quick to try and figure out how to turn it off. It's a smart phone, but not at all like the one he has. When it shuts off, he's met with a wallpaper. Himself and Prompto; not weird, but...
They're wearing uniforms in it. Prompto grinning his usual, stupid grin with his hair matted down, a green-striped tie loose around his neck in a blueish blazer. Noctis' hair is significantly shorter in this picture. Prompto and him never went to school together. He's only known him a couple years at best. It's then that a text message comes through, the name not unfamiliar but.
Definitely unexpected.
Dad:
Noctis, it is 12:30.
You were to be here for briefing at 10, as we discussed.
Son, I understand you are newly graduated, but please remember your duty.
You are two days from 20 years and no longer a child.
I've sent Ignis to retrieve you.

What?
[ Noctis' eyes go wide, looking at the phone as if something has started to crawl through it. Not only is he being told he's 19 years old, but duty?
What?
He rips the blanket off of him and jumps out of bed. He's only in his boxers, but he doesn't think about that when he yanks the curtains open to see that this is not the city that he is familiar with. This obviously isn't his penthouse in Recolle, and this...
This looks like... ]
... This... Isn't right...
[ Oh god. Oh no. Oh no, this is Insomnia. ]

I could barely do them back home. I hid the one I had under my hair as long as I could.
May not be royalty, but I had... Restrictions, I guess.
no subject
[a pat on the shoulder, and prompto leads the way out of the house, locking up.]
It's not that bad. You got your own place and all.
no subject
Still sucks. You know those Glaives march up and down my hall all night?
no subject
no subject
Could have used that information ages ago. What gives?
no subject
[he gestures in kind, loud hand motions]
It's only your first day, and you never said anything! Besides, you're the grumpy prince that tries to act too cool for school. The glaives listen t'your dad, but you got as much authority when things are chill in the city.
no subject
It kept me up all night. I could literally hear their footsteps outside my door.
[ He sighs as he puts his hood over his head. ]
Even when things are chill, I feel like there are eyes all over me. It’s weird.
no subject
[he puts a hand over noctis's shoulder, to show him that he's got prompto support, no matter what]
You could do with talking to your dad some time. Maybe.
