Prompto X Reader: Parting Ways

Darkness

The gem.
It's all that is ever mentioned.
It's all that's been worried about.

It's all that needs to be known.

"Hey, Noctis?" Prompto says.
"Yes..?" He says.
"Sorry to mention.. this after you've been through everything but..." Prompto stops.
"But what?" Noctis says.
"Nah... I can't..." Prompto says. He wipes his eyes.
"If it's not that you're dying, I'll be fine." Noctis says.
"I won't die." Prompto says.
"Then what is it?" Noctis says.

Prompto pauses for a moment.
"So um..." He's hesitating too much.
"Would you like to be besides me... Y'know... Once I get... Married...?" He says.
Noctis sighs.
Prompto observes his face strongly.
"Of course I will." He says.
"Why were you scared to ask me that?" He asked.
"Well y'know... With all the things..." Prompto hugs him.
"I'm sorry, Noctis..." He apologizes.

"Oh, gross, c'mon man! It's okay!" Noctis is shoving Prompto away.
You can't help but to laugh, as well as Gladio joins in. Despite what's going on.

"Okay okay.. I'll tell you." Prompto says.
"Waiting." Noctis is impatient
"Umm.... Do you want to be my best man?" Prompto says.

Noctis's eyes open.

And of course he looks straight at you.
Then he gives Prompto the "LOOK".

"I would love to." He smiles.
This time it's not a forced smile.
"Congratulations, I knew it'd happen!" And this time, Noctis hugs Prompto.
"You're not going to ask who the lady is?" Gladio says.
"I already know." He gives you a wink.
Your eyebrows raise.
How DID he know?
"Apparently I know, and I don't even know what's going on." Ignis says.
"Oh..." Prompto says.
"Congratulations, Prompto." Ignis says, facing the wrong way.
"This way Iggy." Prompto helps him.
"I promise you, that once this is over, you'll have a nice wedding." Noctis says.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" You ask.
"Pfft, It'll be fine, don't worry." Noctis says, giving you a thumbs up.

Something about his actions are making you question him.

"Feels good to get it out of my chest..." Prompto says.
"It's nice that you're thinking about others feelings." Noctis says.
"I always do.." Prompto says.
"Enough idle chat, let's get moving." Gladio says.
"Help out Ignis while you're at it, [Y/N]." Gladio continues.
"We'll go in the front just Incase there's any intruders." He says.
"Understood." You say.
"C'mon Ignis. I shall be your guide."

You put his arm over your shoulder.

"Thank you.." Ignis says quietly.
"Don't worry about it, I'm here for you." You say.
"You want to take turns helping out Ignis?" Prompto says as he keeps walking.
"No thank you, I'm okay." You say.

He is pretty heavy..
But it's alright.

"How are you feeling, Ignis?" You ask.
"Fine..." He's blinking slowly.
"Congratulations.." he continues.
"Oh... T-thanks.." You say.
"At first I did it to see if Prompto really did like you.." he says something else.
"Huh?" You say.
"But it was a mistake for me to do that.." he says.
"What are you talking about, Ignis?" You're confused.
He sighs.
"Nothing.. ignore me." Ignis says.
"You two would make a great married couple." Ignis smiles slightly.

"What does the gem do?" Prompto askes.
"It should help with the shortness of daytime." Noctis says.
"And how?" Gladio says.
"Thaaat, I'm not sure about." He says.
"You're going to a gem you don't even know what its capable of?!" Prompto says.
"Hey, all I know is that it can help expel daemons." He says.
Both Gladio and Prompto sigh.
