[ He's got the strongest suspicion that Prompto will be falling asleep any second now. The medicine he's on surely makes him ridiculously drowsy, and with how he's damn-near dead weight on Noctis, he seems comfortable. He doesn't at all stop running his fingers through Prompto's hair, and he softly smiles when his friend struggles to speak. ]
Hah.
[ The chuckle is soft and meek. Noctis feels his face flush. ]
Anytime.
[ He can't help but enjoy this. Noctis feels this odd wave of comfort and care wash through him, the slightest pang to his chest because it's not the first time they've been this close, but something about this position seems heavier. And maybe it's just him, but he's oddly happy with this. Careful as he is. Noctis allows his other arm to drape around Prompto, holding him close.
"You really need to think about it. Before someone gets hurt..."
He thinks about that advice a lot. Thinks about Ardyn's warning a lot. There have been plenty who seem to know there is something different about the bond he and Prompto share, and even if he's somewhat scared to follow through on the encouragement many have given him? He's terrified it'll make things weird.
Still...
In this moment, in the warmth and silence that follows Noctis comforting his friend and holding him? He feels the slightest sliver of strength to let the next words fall out: ]
Hey... Prompto?
[ He's probably asleep. Noctis isn't even certain he'll be able to say it. ]
