Re: wee morning hours of 9/2

[mercurio]

[it's... surprising to get a message from lalli, one without prompto initiating it. but it definitely isn't unwanted. prompto's had a hard time staying asleep. he talked about so many things with cloud, and there was so much that was shared, concerns and fears exposed, that he's still vibrating with the electrifying feeling that he has a family...]

[he's thankful for the distraction that comes from lalli's text, even as his eyes squint at the intense brightness of his screen]

[prompto lowers it before replying]

hey buddy
yeah just got a couple more days of freedom

[lalliho]

[BUDDY......... scream]

aha

so

what about running when should we do that since you need to sleep

[mercurio]

i'll still go in the mornings! i got my schedule and most of my classes are after 9am anyway

[lalliho]

that's really early

[The last time he woke up that early... It was probably when Grandma was still alive and scaring some semblance of a schedule into him. Weird.]

other stuff matters too

like when your latest classes are and when you're going to study

[mercurio]

you're asking me scary questions to consider
i guess i'll figure out how i'll work out my schedule after this week?

[lalliho]

mrh

you do a lot [Talk to a lot of people...] I like running with you but only if you keep liking it too

so don't let that be a scary thing I guess is what I'm saying maybe

[mercurio]

i like running and i like you so why would i stop?

[don't read into that]

besides no matter what i'm doing running is an important and necessary part of my day
i'll be hopefully doing less this school year now that i only have the one job

[lalliho]

[He doesn't read into it, but it still makes him happier than he'd expect for reasons that were a complete mystery.]

?? how many did you have before

[mercurio]

just the one but it was deliveries
so basically i would be on call nearly 24/7 by different places
now that i'm at the electronics store i got a normal schedule

[lalliho]

oh

weird

[...A very Prompto job, though, he decides when he's trying to figure out how much he would hate it. He knew the city, but... Yikes, that just wouldn't be very good for his anxiety.]

that's a lot of stuff

after all this weird team stuff I'm tired and don't want to do anything

can't imagine school work people and running all the time

[mercurio]

i know
it's a little crazy if i think about it
but... i'm going to try and do my best
always moving forward

...

when you're not tired you should come to one of my photography classes with me
no pressure to join it or anything
just.. for you to see what it's like?

[lalliho]

[Always moving forward, huh... It's something that he's pretty sure should be reassuring, but all it does is make him more certain that the feeling he's feeling is "concern".]

what

[He wants to ask why to multiple parts of that, but...there's an explanation he's supposed to accept, right there. He reads it a few more times just in case that will help.]

is that even allowed

[mercurio]

as long as you don't go every single class
i'll just tell the professor you're a friend who's having a look around he won't mind

[mercurio]

but if you don't feel comfortable with the idea that's fine too
i won't be mad if you decide you don't want to go

[lalliho]

it's not that

hang on

[He needs to...take a minute to think.]

you won't feel bad if nothing changes? I don't think it will make me want to go but going with you once might be okay

[mercurio]

[prompto smiles at his phone]

nah this isn't some plot to get you to go to university
i just wanna hang out with you more like
besides it'd be nice to have a friend to talk about photography things with

haven't really made friends in my classes
not that i'm trying to use you to compensate

i'm rambling lol

[lalliho]

[Ah... Good. This is all very good, and he breathes a lot easier. Prompto sure was right about this whole communication business making friendship better, wowee gee.]

if they see you with some ooky spooky foreign witchspawn like me they might avoid you more, that still okay?

[mercurio]

i think i'll have to challenge them to a duel if they try to poke fun at me because of you
and then it'll get nasty

dude of course it'll still be okay
ooky spooky foreign witchspawn has cool magic tricks anyway

[lalliho]

osfw doesn't have his magic tricks right now it's terrible

[mercurio]

not anymore?

[lalliho]

the water and ice were some weird weapons protocol reward from Joanne not really my magic

I know a little bit about what I'm supposed to be able to do but I haven't figured out how to do it yet

[mercurio]

hmm maybe we can work it out some time
?

[lalliho]

you focus on school weirdo

[mercurio]

haha i'll make you proud

[lalliho]

[He could text something really gay about how he's already proud or it would be the first thing Prompto's made him feel, but even he's aware enough to know that that would be kind of awkward. Besides, he's not some guardian.

Time to change the subject!]

what did you do today
