〈 meadowlark relationships 〉

those who fall under this category mean the world to prompto—are the closest and dearest to his heart, and the ones he would lay his life for in a heartbeat. his loyalty towards those in this category runs thick as the blood in his veins, and he will fight for them teeth and nail. these are those who have accepted him despite his flaws and love him for the weirdo that he is. he fears only one thing: their rejection, and will thusly strive forward to better himself for their sake, because they deserve someone worthy of standing at their side. they are the people he feels the most comfortable with, will move past his tryhard stage and unapologetically be himself around them, stupid and human and vulnerable and childish and open.

friending prompto is a task that is both easy yet difficult in and of itself. while he's the cheerful kind of character that is open for friendship and is likely to have several names at the ready when wanting to hang out and do something dumb, there also is that other side of the coin that opening up to such extent is not an easy task for someone like himself. growing up he's always feared rejection and being shunned by his peers, and while his confidence floats stronger nowadays, it's still a hard boat to get on. it's a two-way road for him, and only those who bring the best in him (through well-intentioned criticism or not) are deemed candidates for something he yet struggles to define: friendship. in this kind of relationship, prompto will try his hardest to be helpful, useful, and supportive of his friends, even if at times he'll undoubtedly come off as a tryhard.

being an acquaintance to prompto does not mean that the person is a stranger. it means it's someone whom prompto can see himself trusting, whom he finds is understanding and incredible to be around and hold a conversation with. acquaintances are people he may not feel too strongly about, but whom he'll seek out every now and then to ask about their whereabouts and pretty much test the waters with, trying to see the potential of seeing them as a closer part of his life towards the adventure of friendship. still, it's ambivalent, and there's always the possibility that he'll warm up to the person into considering them a friend, or grow colder towards them, resulting in being unsure of his standing towards them. this is the type of person he is most vulnerable against: he's constantly aware of their judgement, of how his actions and words will please them or not, and how easily disposable he may seem to them. still, he can work amiably with them towards a mutual goal, more than happy to have things work out.

those who fall under this category either make prompto uncomfortable, uncertain of himself, or are a constant source of antagonism towards his person and those he cares for. he questions their motives constantly, or simply does not understand where they stand—perhaps it simply just eludes him, or he's in the process of forging a relationship past this point towards more solid ground. prompto does not harbor any ill will towards any of them (okay, except maybe ardyn), but walks on eggshells nonetheless as he tries to come to an understanding of who they are and what it is they seek to accomplish. perhaps he hasn't interacted with them enough at this point, and is a status that is likely to change in the future with sufficient interaction.
