[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

[mercurio]

you mean yesterday? hmm...
hung out with my brother
we had a long conversation

[lalliho]

[ah]

yes that I haven't slept

[His weird sleep schedule means he'll still be up for quite a while... Let him have this, now that Daiquiri stuff is over...!]

I didn't know you had a brother?

[mercurio]

i figured
and yeah tell me about it i didn't know either

[lalliho]

??

how do you not know that

[mercurio]

same mother
different dads

i didn't know she had a family before me so it never really came up

[lalliho]

oh

that's

weird

[WHAT DOES HE SAY ABOUT THAT...]

so it's an older brother

[mercurio]

yeah

his name's cloud strife
he's twenty-four
he's... actually a really cool guy
nice, kinda funny sometimes, assertive

cloud's okay with being my brother despite everything
i'm really thankful

[lalliho]

oh that's blue glitter man

[Yeah, he wondered... Maybe too much. Shh.]

I don't know why that wouldn't ever be okay to someone

but if you were worried then I'm glad he made sure you knew that

[mercurio]

it's pretty complicated... but yeah thanks
it's actually been really cathartic to have validation from him

[lalliho]

[...Hmn.]

I think I understand

not exactly but

Grandma treated me differently than others and when you say things you do it in a way that I believe

so it was nice when you started talking about us being friends like you really meant it or when you said you wouldn't say things that bothered me if you could help it

like stuff is real and matters I guess

it's nice

[mercurio]

like it's real makes a lot of sense...

i'm

happy that you think it's nice by the way
us being friends and just... becoming better friends?
i really appreciate that too

[lalliho]

of course

do you want to tell me more about him?

[mercurio]

[you're going to make him cry by having him talk about this]

i'm really glad that out of any miraculous older brother i could have
that it's him

[lalliho]

[He doesn't have to!! Lalli just invited him to...because it seemed like it was on his mind...]

that's good

I'm really glad too then

[mercurio]

granted i don't really know him but.. he's my brother
my real brother

you know how while being okay being lonely and alone there's this sense of "it's alright, this is normal"?
even if that feeling of being lonely is still there? and despite being around others...

i don't feel that so much anymore remembering he is here
