Thank you everyone who had read, commented, faved, and or followed this story. Thank you all for being so supportive even when it's been a long time since my updates with Somnus. It makes me happy knowing that folks like my stories and it makes happy to write them for you guys. Thanks so much! Now without further ado, the last chapter.
Hearing that Ardyn had caused Prompto so much pain was upsetting to hear, hearing in detail how he broke the gunmen and tortured him was like adding fuel to the fire for the older brothers emotions.
'That son of a- he's gonna pay for what he did to Prompto!'
'I swear don't let me see that guy, for the second I get my hands on him I'm gonna wipe the floor with him!'
'He's lucky I'm blind...I swear if I had my sight...oh he's so lucky right now. But I swear I will get stronger, I will avenge Prompto!"
Those thoughts buzz around the brothers heads, rage building up in their guts as hatred blooms in their hearts. As if they needed another reason to hate Ardyn, the chancellor had given them a whole new reason as to why they wanted him dead.
Ignis listens as Noctis and Gladiolus watch Prompto greedily gobble up the soup after reassuring him that they aren't hungry and wanted him to get full. Slurping down his second helping he holds out his bowl which prompts Noctis to take it "Want some?" He asks softly with a shake of his head "No thanks, I'm feeling full now. Thanks guys...it's not as good as Iggy's cooking but I'm thankful for it." He says smiling before wincing a bit at the slight cramp that flares up suddenly. Ignis nods "I'm grateful to hear that." Ignis says smiling as Gladiolus walks to the table and summons the medical kit "When's the last time you had your medicine?" He asks softly.
"Ugh...the last time I was on the train." He says grunting against another flare up his eyes squeezing shut against the pain. He knew what was causing it the guilt fed anxiety from not tell his friends about his lineage. Though could he even call it that, it was more like breed for.
He was a dog, no not even a dog. People love dogs. He was was like cattle, simply breed for a simple purpose. Except no one is killing Magitek and turning them into burgers. He was made to kill, that's his only reason for living or at least that's what he's been exposed to based off what he seen his brothers and sisters had shown him.
What great examples his older siblings are.
Gladiolus's announcement of finding the medicine snaps Prompto out of his thoughts as he looks to his friend who was returning to his side "Here ya go. And I got some aspirin for you too for your leg." He says gently.
Thanking him Prompto swallows the medicine shuddering as it goes down. "S-So Noct-" a small pause as Prompto clears his throat "When are we going to go get the crystal back?" He asks hoping to take the attention off of himself. Noctis looks over at him sleepily "Don't worry about it. We'll get it soon, we just want you healed up first." Noctis explains looking down at his hands "Besides...there's no point in getting if my magic is still sealed up...I can't even heal you probably without it...this stupid potion is just useless without my magic." He growls as he resists the urge to throw the canned potion.
Prompto looks down at his busted leg, regretting even trying to attack the bigger man. The Chancellor was cruel and honestly Prompto saw that break his leg was honestly overkill on Ardyn's part. It wasn't like he could've gone anywhere.
"But like I said before" Prompto looks back at his friend "we're getting out of here first before we get the crystal. I can use Umbra's time travel ability to take us to the past...only down side is you and Ignis will still be hurt." Noctis sighs.
"It's quite alright, I honestly believe I'd probably feel odd about being able to see again." Ignis jokes lightly before letting out a sigh which becomes a yawn. Noctis smiles a bit "We should get some sleep so we're ready for tomorrow." Says Noctis as he stretches "No telling what Ardyn has guarding my magic or what's sealing it and we'll need all our strength." He adds turning to Prompto who was drinking a some of the useless potion.
"Mmm, taste kinda like coconut...I think." Prompto says smacking on the taste of the energy drink turned potion "Maybe it's blueberry? No! It has that taste of blue Gatorade but fizzy! Yup that's the taste." Prompto says smirking "I didn't know you could make these into drinks." He adds. "Well that's what they are, just energy drinks. But with a hint of Noct's healing magic we have potions...though crushing them proves the be the fastest way to heal." Ignis says as he climbs back under the sheets.
Noctis moves towards Prompto taking his drink and sitting it on the chair which he moves closer to the blonde. He helps him get comfortable by bringing down the pillows from the top bunk and propping them under his head and pulling the blankets up to his neck "Alright, you good? You need anything?" Noctis asks reminding himself of his father whenever he would get hurt or sick, though he couldn't help it. He hasn't seen Prompto in a week and knowing that Ardyn had hurt him, Noctis wanted Prompto to know he was cared for and protected.
Prompto thought for a moment before his face heated up "I uh...kinda gotta pee." He says laughing nervously "Shouldn't have drank three potions." He adds still laughing as Noctis rolls his eyes shaking his head as he helps Prompto into a sitting position.
"Yeah that probably wasn't a good idea." Noctis says fetching a bucket from one of the cabinets in the dorm that held random things.
"Well they shouldn't taste so good." Prompto says a playful tone slipping into his voice. Noctis couldn't help the smile on his lips, Prompto was starting to sound like himself again and it was all Noctis could hope for. The hope that his friend was getting better was all he wanted.
:::
The four of them walk down a long twisting hall, their footsteps silent against the weird mix of concrete and tile flooring. Chirps of birds and roars of daemons filling the silence. Magitek lines the walls the ones on the left their eyes glowing blue and the ones on the right their eyes glowing red.
Noctis leads his group down to the edge of the hall, before them stood a large metal door with intricate markings and deep grooves resembling weapon shapes. On either side of the door stands Pryna and Umbra with Magitek at their sides holding weapons from Noctis's arsenal of weapons.
Gladiolus turns to Prompto "You know what to do." He says and Prompto nods. He steps up to the door lifting his hands summoning a ring of glowing blue weapons varying in shape and size. The armiger swirls around the blonde as he throws his arm forward and sending the weapons forward and into their respective slots.
The door glows a bright yellow before rumbling as it lifts upward leading to an open platform full of various crates. Prompto walks out and looks around, every step he takes ice forms under foot as the air becomes colder and crisper and the winds pick up whipping snow into the air. The snow that appears quickly become a blizzard making it hard to see.
Prompto stops and blinks against the harsh weather as he turns around looking for his friends.
"So. You're one of them?"
"You lied to us."
"We hate you!"
"Traitor! Monster! Not one of us!"
Prompto steps back his eyes wide. His friends continue to spout hurt words at him making his heart tighten as he turns away from his friends, fleeing Prompto covers his ears trying to drown out the words.
As Prompto ran he noticed that the vast world around him was a dull mix of gray and white as a blanket of snow covered the ground.
"Not one of us!"
"Killer!"
"Monster!"
"Abomination!"
Prompto notices that the freezing air doesn't bother him as he steps forward, his footfalls heavy and click as well. He closes his eyes for a moment only to open them seconds later. The sight before is a familiar one but different all at the same time, before him was the throne room that he and his friends stood in before King Regis. However instead of the benevolent king on the throne was a fiery deity, a massive wolfish humanoid with a fiery red mane and long black curved horns coming from the back and top of its head. More horns protruded from its back, it's frame was massive and rippled with dark bronze muscles. Next to the beast was a black dragon with many horns and spikes, a gold underbelly and blue inner wings.
Both figures that stood before Prompto were massive in size. The wolfish figure growls snapping it's fingers igniting the entire room in flames making the dragon take to the air hoovering near the throne.
Leading to the throne were skinny black dog's with red eyes each barking as the one perched on the throne beckons to Prompto. As he walks forward each of the barking dog's he passes falls silent as the kneel down bowing at the boy.
"Ifrit, this be the boy?" The dragon growls is voice cold with a elder feel to it.
"Yes...this is him." Ifrit speaks, his own voice sounding like it has a roar mixed in. Ifrit turns his head his gold eyes narrowing at the dragon "Why, is there a problem with him...Bahamut?"
"Not at all, I just don't see how some soft looking punk could be so dangerous. And to think you're going to cast judgement down onto him like your Ramuh." Bahamut responds coolly as Prompto makes his way up to them.
Looking up at them Prompto trembles his eyes locked on the creatures before, he only seen beasts like these in comic and videogames. He could only blink as his words failed to form.
"Prompto Argentum." Bahamut speaks "You have been called here for your judgement!"
"Judgement? O-on wh-what?" Prompto squeaks his voice painfully dry and small.
Ifrit growls his claws rake the armrests "On what you ask." Ifrit turns his muzzle up laughing "You have been selected judgement for you have commit a great crime." Ifrit snaps making Prompto look up at the massive creature in dismay "A crime? But what?" He asks frantically. The photographer couldn't even begin to think on what he has done to warrant judgement.
Ifrit doesn't respond leaving the boy helpless "You be punished on the greatest act of treason." Bahamut snaps. "Treason!? B-but I didn't kill anybody!" Prompto cries.
"Yes you have, you have killed many many MANY people. On that day, the country you claimed to loved and be part of you single handedly destroyed." Hisses the dragon.
"What!? I-...how could I? I don't understand, what makes you think I-...I'm so confused!" Prompto cries bringing his hands to his face as he closes his eyes.
'Huh!?'
Prompto lowers his hands and opens his eyes which widen at the sight of his hands and palms. His skin was replaced with metal, gasping he turns his arms over and spins around with his head over his shoulder trying to get a better look at himself.
He was covered entirely in metal armor, the kind on a Magitek. He touches his face before bringing his palm back and in shiny metal he can see his reflection, he was a Magitek.
"You claim to be as innocent as a lamb but here you stand in your truest form. The form you have taken to destroy Insomnia." Ifrit growls.
"But I am innocent!" Prompto screams his voice metallic.
"I beg to differ." Ifrit says narrowing his eyes "Unless you can prove me wrong of course. You need four witnesses to prove me wrong." He growls.
Four that was easy. He knew just who to call.
Noctis emerges in a puff of smoke, his words same as before "Traitor! Murderer! It's because of you Insomnia fell! It's because of you my sad is dead! You're a Magitek and I hate you!"
Gladiolus emerges next to his king "You're the reason why Jared is dead, you caused Talcott to suffer, you're the reason why Iris will grow up without her father! I hate you and I can never forgive you!"
Ignis appears opposite of Noctis "You did this to me...you did this to all of us. I loathe you and your existence."
Ifrit grins thrusting his thumb to the ones who he considers friends "The wronged have spoken, their words hurt don't they. They speak how they feel about you. What you hear is the truth and there is nothing you can do to change it." The wolfish creature snarls "Now face your punishment like the devil you are!"
Ifrit leaps up to clawed feet and points his finger up towards the sky prompting Bahamut to take to the air. His massive wings beating hard as he flies circles around the throne room hot flames scorching the walls "Any final words Magitek?" Ifrit growls.
Tears roll down his smooth green face, the blazing red eyes of his metal body glow brightly "I-I-I..." Prompto shakes his head "I- sorry." Prompto squeaks.
"Sorry won't cut it...now you die!" Ifrit howls as he points his finger at Prompto making him lower his head. The flames shoot out from his claw barreling towards the machine turned Prompto making him tremble. His life flashing before his eyes in broken fragments, some moments happy others hurtful.
'I guess it's best this way. Maybe I'll make everyone happy if I died.'
"Stop right there!"
Ifrit narrows his eyes as a soft chuckle escapes him "Pryna..." the mention of the dogs name makes Prompto lift his head. Standing in front of him repelling the flames was the white dog, the one who had been there protecting him when Ardyn was hurting him.
Walking up beside her was Umbra, the smoky black dog narrows his eyes. His lips drawn into a snarl "Don't you dare make another move...I ain't afraid of beating an old man." The dog growls.
Bahamut ceases his attack and narrows his eyes "You...how date you speak to us in such a manner! You insolent mutt!"
Umbra simply rolls his eyes "Yeah sure whatever."
Pryna steps forward "Ifrit please, cease this at once! You cast unfair judgement based on blinded hatred towards Niflhiem. I assure you, Prompto is a kind soul. One who has only the best interest of his friends in his heart." Pryna barks her voice holding desperation.
Prompto turns to the white dog "Prompto hadn't done anything wrong. If you must cast judgement do it to the one truly responsible. You know who it is just as much as I do." Pryna begs.
Bahamut turns to Umbra "And what about you? What do you have to say about this matter?"
Umbra glances at Prompto "All I know is that Pryna is worried sick about him. I frankly could careless if he lives or dies. But..." Umbra looks up at the massive figures before him "As many times as I had seen him, he makes Noctis happy." He shakes his head "If I'm being honest I doubt this kid has the capacity to kill."
"What are you saying?" Ifrit asks.
"I'm saying that he's a good kid. And Noctis and his friend's ain't gonna let this little thing about him being a Magitek stop them from being his friend. They wouldn't feel any different." Umbra barks.
Ifrit grins "You have that much confidence in them?"
Umbra narrows his eyes making the massive deities laugh before vanishing "I can't wait to see the disappointment on his face when his friends leave him behind."
Once the scary figures leaves Pryna turns to Prompto "Don't worry. They will never stop loving you."
Pryna nods as she walks up to him making him kneel down "You can trust me." She says touching her paw to his foot.
Prompto jerks awake at the sound of his name being called, it was faint at first but soon he hears Gladiolus calling him as he registers being shaken. "G-Gladio?" Prompto stutters, seeing that his friend was more aware he stops shaking him "Hey, you okay?" Gladiolus asks worried. Blinking Prompto nods "Yeah, I'm okay." He responds softly. Gladiolus looks at him in a quizzical manner "Are you sure? Cuz you're eyes are a bit darker." Gladiolus states.
Biting his lip Prompto nods "I just a silly nightmare." He whispers. Gladiolus sighs glancing at the clock on the wall over the table 'We still have four hours till we gotta move out.' Gladiolus looks down at Prompto who was wiping at his eyes 'Poor guy must have had Ardyn in his head again.' Gladiolus sighs as he gets to his feet returning to his bunk where he gathers his book. Returning to Prompto he pulls up a chair and opens his book to the page where he left off earning a confused glance from his youngest teammate.
Ignoring him Gladiolus begins to softly read the story "Marinette sighs as she walks through the bustling streets of Bordeaux. The warm sweet scents of chocolate and the smell of freshly baked breads danced in the air attracting tourist and locals alike. Yet the young woman paid little heed for her mind was elsewhere as she begins to ponder..."
Prompto closes his eyes understanding what Gladiolus was trying to accomplish. He never thought he'd get the chance to hear what Gladiolus was reading, and it honestly sounds like something moms would read. Who knew that someone like Gladiolus who has massive muscles, intimidating tattoos, a beard, swings a sword, and enjoys camping could also enjoy mushy romance.
He continues to listen Gladiolus's voice sounded distant now as he starts to fall asleep "Was there any real chance of her meeting the man behind the black mask? She doubts it for it seems like every time she gets close he manages to slip through her fingers. Sneaky like the cat he is."
Gladiolus continues to read even when Prompto has long since fallen asleep he just wanted to make sure that his friend wouldn't have another nightmare. The thought of him constantly being harassed angers him and Gladiolus couldn't wait for the moment to come where Noctis has his magic once more.
"All right, everything in order?" Ignis asks.
"Almost" Noctis says helping Prompto stand up, gravity wasn't kind to his injuries especially to his leg. The splint despite being a decent cast was making his leg feel like it was going to snap right off. "Here. I found these." Gladiolus says approaching with a pair of wooden crutches adjusted to Prompto's height.
Thanking the larger man Prompto takes the crutches and steadied himself finally being able to stand and walk Prompto looks at his friends "Okay, I'm ready." He says softly.
Gladiolus heads to the door and Noctis heads out with Prompto and Ignis behind him. The group continuing where they left off as they start to look for whatever it is sealing Noctis's magic.
Walking down the hall Ignis falls in step with Prompto "You'll tell us if it becomes too much for you. Correct?" He asks softly. "Yeah I will." He responds looking over to Ignis. Ignis nods as he continues to walk in tangent with the youngest. The rhythmic click click click of the crutches echoing off the walls when it abruptly came to a stop and a small cry from Prompto causes Ignis to react quickly. Twisting around and using his cane, the blind man catches both Prompto and stops his crutches from falling with his cane going through the Y shaped holes.
"Nice save." Noctis says grinning as he and Gladiolus helps their friends back up. "Tis was nothing, in fact I was doing what Prompto has done for me." Ignis reaches his hand out and Prompto meets him halfway helping the other find his shoulder "Take your time. We're in no rush." Ignis reassures before stepping back waiting for Prompto to continue walking.
It doesn't take long for the group of friends to emerge out of the building and on a long bridge leading to another platform with a lone room at the center.
"Is this even the right way?" Noctis asks.
"It is. I can hear buzzing...well not exactly buzzing but I heard the sound before...right before I fainted." Ignis states "The contraption is close."
"How ya holding Prompto?" Gladiolus asks realizing that Prompto is starting to sound winded. The blonde forces a smile on his lips as he laughs weakly "I'm managing." He says. With a satisfied nod Gladiolus turns his attention elsewhere leaving the blonde with his thoughts once more.
His thoughts being of the second dream he had...
"Prompto, oh my sweet Prompto. I'm overjoyed that Noctis and his friends have finally reunited with you." Pryna says her tail wagging. Prompto smiles a bit "Me too...but I'm scared." His water "I'm so scared right now...I dread the thought of them leaving me behind. What am I going to do? What am I going to say?" Prompto pauses shaking his head "How can I tell them?" He sniffles.
Pryna looks thoughtful for a moment before nodding "I may not be able to answer those questions for you, but I know someone who can." Pryna steps back and howls a bright yellow light glows above her, wiggling it starts to take shape and form of a women. The one women Prompto had prayed to meet one day.
Lady Lunafreya emerges as she gracefully lands in front of Prompto. Giving him a small curtsey and Prompto returning the gesture with a fumbling bow the two straighten up.
"Hello Prompto." She says softly with a smile, leaving him speechless. What could he say, what should he say? He finally gets to meet the one person who helped him make a friend, who helped him feel like a somebody, who blessed him with the chance to travel the world with a prince who happens to be his best friend.
However the way he ends up greeting Lunafreya was the last way he had expected, tears fill his eyes and he's soon weeping. "I-I-I'm so happy I can finally meet you!" He wails "Th-Thank you for telling me to-to be friends with Noct!" He adds tears dripping from his chin as his nose begins to run. He must have look ridiculous to the Oracle, surely this sight of him must repulse her making her regret even acknowledging his sorry existence.
Yet to his surprise Lunafreya only chuckles and steps closer to him and gently lays a hand on his cheek brushing away his tears with her thumb. "And I'm glad that I finally get to meet the one responsible for helping Pryna." She says giving him a soft smile "And you mustn't thank me, someone as kind and caring as you shouldn't be alone." She says only succeeding in making the blonde young man cry even more.
Lunafreya smiles as she wipes his tears once more, gently she takes one of his hands into her own, the one with the code-print. Prompto feels his heart tighten as he watches Lunafreya remove his bracelet and glove exposing the mark. Her eyes showing sadness as she lifts his wrist gently tracing her fingers over the tattoo.
"To have been so young and branded...it must've been lonely for you." She says softly "You didn't deserve this, because of this you must've thought you needed to keep others away." She says looking in watery blue eyes. Prompto looks away biting his lip as his eyebrows furrow "Is that why you wanted me to be friends with Noct?"
Lunafreya simply continues to hold his wrist "It's like I said earlier" she meets his gaze "Everyone deserves to be happy. Pryna saw how sad you were and she only wanted you to know the happiness that is out there."
Prompto sniffs "But it's going to go away now isn't?" He pauses "Its going to go away because of what I am...the others...they hate Niflhiem, they hate Magiek...they-they will hate me." He says his voice breaking at the end.
Lunafreya let's go of his hand and pulls him close to her "Don't you ever dare to think that your friends will love you any less over something you cannot help. You were born in Niflhiem, you were marked, but that doesn't mean you're one of those machines. You are able to make your own destiny, the path that lies before you is free to you." She explains her tone full of kindness.
Sniffing Prompto wipes at his eyes "But...what if they reject me? What if they wanted to kill me? You know get revenge?"
Lunafreya chuckles "Noctis always told me how you had a habit of overreacting..." giving Prompto a smile she continues "You shouldn't fear your friends. The answer to them accepting you, you should already know."
Prompto sniffs again "But how can I tell them? I mean just flat out saying 'Hey guys you those machines we kill everyday, well those are my siblings...by the way I'm a Magitek.' They won't believe me."
Lunafreya nods "Trust me, the time will come and you will know what to do."
Prompto watches as the others reach the room in the center of the platform.
"This is the spot, this is the same sound I heard?" Ignis says touching the door "Is there away to get inside?" He asks. "Gimme a sec." Noctis says as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the keycard. He touches it to the scanner and nothing happens.
"Well...looks like it's locked. I don't thinking there's a way to get in."
Prompto tenses up. Was this his moment to reveal what he is? He was scared, he was shaking but he knew he had to help his friends. He knew he had to help get the Crystal back for his home, and if it meant losing his friends then he can relish in the memories he has of them.
Taking a deep breath Prompto steps forward "There's a way." He says softly catching the attention of his soon to be ex-friends.
Stepping up to the scanner Prompto takes off his bracelet and holds his wrist up to the machine which beeps, the light flicks to green, and the doors open. The others others seem impressed that he got the doors open but their praise only made his throat burn.
"S-So MTs...they have this code-print...just like I do." Prompto says his voice incredibly tight. Noctis simply looks at him confused "Really? I never noticed." Noctis says answering honestly he never gave the machines any thought, especially when came to specific things about them like this.
"Yeah...so as it turns out...I'm one of them." Prompto pauses his voice starts to shake "It's...I mean...it wasn't something I could tell people growing up in Lucis." Prompto mumbles softly fearing that if he spoke any louder his voice would give way his true feelings.
Prompto swallows and his eyes begin to sting "Still. You guys are like...the o-only friends I known...and the only family I had. I-I just want..." he feels his heart tighten as his voice falters "I just want things between us to...to stay the same." Prompto hears the break in his voice as tears well up in his eyes.
Noctis and Gladiolus could see the tears slipping down the cheeks of the youngest teammate, Ignis turns his head in the direction of the pained sobs that was escaping the other as silence falls around them.
'There I told them. I told them about the monstrosity that I truly am! N-Now I'm going to be alone all over again! N-No one wants to be friends with, parents of, or responsible for the what I am. And who can blame them? My k-kind has caused so much pain and grief...If y-you guys are going to kill me then...then-'
"Who cares where you were born?"
"I don't see you turning against us, not now or ever."
'Wh-What? They...they-they care? They accept me!?'
A small smile forms on Prompto's lips "Thanks guys...but still I can't change where I'm from or what I am." He adds as tears return to his which he rubs at.
Its silent for a moment when he hears a laugh "Since when do you care where you're from?" It was Noctis who had spoken as he steps towards the gunmen. Honestly the question threw Prompto off leaving him blinking with tears in his eyes.
Noctis looks at his friend, he needed to show him that he cares about him. That he doesn't care that he is Magitek Trooper, that to him he's still their Prompto. So he decided to remind him of all the things that made him him.
"You never once called me prince." Noctis teases.
"He's got you there." Gladiolus smirks.
"Not even a Highness." Ignis adds.
Prompto blinks looking at each of his friends.
"Come on we're done here, Crown citizen."
Prompto was speechless 'Crown citizen?' tears return to his eyes and his lip trembles, his eyes are watery as Gladiolus steps towards him and Ignis. He places a hand on Ignis's back was he ruffles Prompto's hair "You're one of us right?" He says patting his shoulder.
That was his breaking point.
Prompto's face crumples as tears spill down his cheeks a sob rips from his throat. "You guys..." he sniffs as Noctis gestures to his Shield to follow and bring Ignis. Noctis, Gladiolus, and Ignis pull Prompto into a hug letting him cry "You guys are the best."
For Gladiolus, he didn't really care too much about Prompto's upbringing. He could tell he was different but he had always assumed it was class wise. That idea was only fueled by Prompto not wanting anyone to go to his house, and the fact he said his parents constantly worked. But he didn't expect this not that it changed anything about him. He was still loud, obnoxious, getting into things and made everyone laugh. He was still the pain the butt that he has always been, and Magitek just meant Gladiolus gets to make jokes about the machines coming to take him home or apologizing about taking down his mom etc.
For Ignis, he felt terrible. He recalls calling the Magitek merciless, cruel, disgusting or something like that. He isn't sure if Prompto knew this truth about him his whole life or if he just learned about it, though the latter seems more likely. Either way had he known he would've chosen better words. But for him that little fact doesn't change his love or need to care for the blonde any less. To him Prompto is still the goofy, life of the party, who will continuously put others first. Who will continue to boast about Cindy and Chocobos. Besides this explains why he couldn't find any information on Prompto when he tried to search him when Noctis first introduced him.
And as for Noctis, he was angry. But his anger wasn't directed at Prompto, it could never be directed at him. He was angry because he wondered if this was the reason why Prompto was so lonely. He recalls Prompto mentioning that he was adopted and how he never sees his parents, he was starting to wonder if that was just some cruel joke. Adopting a baby Magitek and leave him alone making him hate himself, as if it was their own sick way at getting revenge. Noctis wonders what would he have done if he learned early on that Prompto was a MT. Would he have felt the same? Probably. Because honestly Magitek or human Prompto made Noctis feel like he was a normal person.
Prompto snivels as his tears continue to fall.
Noctis felt himself tighten his embrace on the other. Prompto gasps as tears roll down his face "I'm so sorry!" He weeps. And Noctis shakes his head, was Prompto apologizing about the attack on Insomnia?
This angers him even more "You have nothing to be sorry about. You maybe a MT but you are far from being and empty shell, you are so full of life, you're always making us laugh and cheering us up. Prompto you may be a MT but you're different, they destroyed our home, the four of us, you're saving it. You are a hero. And this simple fun fact about you isn't going to change anything, because we love you."
"And we'll always stand by you."
