[mercurio]

[at that admission, prompto punches noctis slightly on the side]

Don't scare me like that.

[kittycaterer]

[ He finally catches his breath. And though he's still a little red, it's starting to go away. Noctis weakly laughs at the punch. ]

Sorry... Didn't mean to.

[mercurio]

[he smiles finally, lightly]

[then keeps his hand on his back]

Don't apologize. We're good. You're good.

[kittycaterer]

[ He's not sure if he's "good", actually. It used to be that he could just easily ignore this whole awkward attraction thing. It would come and go in waves, where Noctis would experience it and just move on.

Now that he's coming to this shocking conclusion that it runs a lot deeper than just his sexual preference interrupting his day? It's just weird. And uncomfortable.

Mostly because he can't tell Prompto. ]

Yeah.

[ He clears his throat, still feeling a bit scratchy there from choking. ]

We're... Good.

[ Noctis rubs at his face as he slips away from the hand on his back. He tries not to make it obvious or dismissive, but the last thing he wants is to get flustered again. ]

So.

Games tonight or did you have something else in mind?

[ Please, let's just deviate away from the subject of what Prompto is wearing beneath his pants. ]

[mercurio]

Ah... Can't tonight. Gotta work on some reading and a short essay for class. It's not due until Friday, but it's a lot of stuff to read.

[it's a good distraction strategy]

I'll hermit it out at my place for the day. Just wanted to drop by to pick up some of my clothes tee be eich. [TBH] All laundered?

[kittycaterer]

[ Maaaaybe that's for the best. Damn it, this is not what he wanted to start experiencing. He's gonna make shit weird, and Prompto'll get scared off. ]

Ah, yeah. Separated your stuff from mine. It's all in the top drawer of my dresser, left side.

[mercurio]

Dude, then you complain about my underwear being all over the place.

[he's kidding, clearly, but feels a bit of embarrassment at noctis apparently going through his clothes and sorting them out. he pats noctis on the shoulder then heads off into his bedroom, familiar as he always is.]

[in no time he's back with a backpack full of clothes.]

Alright, I'll be off then.

[smiling at his best friend, he grabs also the gift bag]

You alright with Rufus here for the day, right? I'll come in early tomorrow to take him on my jog.

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis is busying himself with preparing his dinner. Since he'll be eating alone tonight, he settles with leftovers. He calls over his shoulder while he does that. ]

Better than it being on the floor.

[ Says the one who's clothes are almost always all over the place.

He turns around when Prompto appears with his backpack. Noctis leans against the counter, still feeling a bit off. But he's going to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. He's still pretty convinced that Prompto knowing anything close to what Noctis is feeling might scare him off. He doesn't want to risk it right now. ]

Yeah, he's cool here. Don't worry about it.

[ A beat. ]

You coming over at any point after that?

[mercurio]

I'll check. I got a later shift at work today.

[prompto shrugs, easy. he loves his job but it's no lie that his time in a day is pushed thin from all the things he does]

You'll be getting a message from me for sure, in any case. Cool?

[he lifts his hand up into a fist, for their usual goodbye bump]

[kittycaterer]

[ It should be weird that he's kind of bummed Prompto can't stick around, but he keeps that to himself. Plus, he... Needs to recover from that whole debacle anyway. ]

Yeah.

[ He gives Prompto that goodbye bump. ]

Cool. I'll be around.
