Prompto quickly wiped away his tears and pulled his best friend into a hug. He couldn't believe that he was standing in front of him, in his arms. It was surreal. He pulled away for a moment, as new tears fell from his eyes. He looked amazing, not like the day that they were reunited after 10 years, he looked happy. He didn't have those dark black circles under his eyes, and he didn't look too skinny the way he did back then. He looked perfect.
"Noct, I can't believe it. I've missed you so much!" Prompto cried. He felt Noct chuckle and rub his back, comforting him.
"I know Prom, I've missed you too." Noct whispered, he was softly crying now as well. They stayed in their embrace for what felt like hours. Prompto let go first, but refused to step away.
"I didn't think it would be possible to see you again. This still feels like a dream!" Prompto exclaimed, he couldn't keep the wide smile off of his face.
"The god are generous indeed." Noct smiled back at his blonde friend. He stared into Prompto's eyes and nearly got lost in the,. Gods how he missed staring into those light blue orbs. He regrets that he never got a chance to confess his feelings to his best friend. There were too many problems for them to focus on. But the time that passed did not lessen how much he cared for him.
"Prom.." Noct started, his eyes darting to his lips and back to his eyes.
"Y..Yeah.." Prompto stuttered and blushed as Noct stared at him.
"I just wanted to say that I love you and I regret not telling you when I was still on Eos." Noct whispered.
"I...I love you too Noct, I've wanted to tell you for so long." Prompto nearly sobbed. His heart beating fast at his friends confession.
Noct didn't say anything, just smiled at him and it melted Prompto's heart. He leaned down and kissed his cheek, Prompto closed his eyes and leaned into Noct.
"I know that I can't stay here, but I can't help but want to." Prompto said, looking up at Noct. "I'll have to leave eventually." He said sadly. He didn't want to leave, not when he just got Noct back. He didn't want to let him out of his sight ever again. The thought of waking without him in the cold tomb made him want to cry.
"I know, I wish that I could go with you, I really do, but I can't. I don't want you to go either, but you have to. Ignis and Gladio need their friend." Noct told him, hugging him tightly.
"Ignis hates me. He told me that he was in love with you too. And he got mad that I was so upset about visiting you." Prompto started crying again.
"He doesn't hate you Prom. I'm sure that he will move on eventually. Hell, I though him and Gladio were going at it for the longest time. Maybe they will, who knows. But just give him time." Noct said, rubbing his back up and down.
"You're right. After we buried you, he refused to talk to me, Gladio would occasionally call and check up on me, but more often than not I'd have to call them. And whenever I did call, Ignis wouldn't want to speak to me."
"I'm so sorry, I wish that I could smack some sense into them." Noct said.
"I know you would, it'll be alright. I'm sure if I let them calm down and try to talk to them, it'll be alright. I just miss all of us hanging out and camping. I still look at all of our old pictures." Prompto said softly, he looked up at Noct and smiled.
"What?" Noct asked as Prompto smiled sweetly at him, he couldn't help but to return the smile.
"Just thinking of some of those pictures I'd sneak of you, and how you'd get so mad. I still have those."
"I was never actually mad at you, it was just a front." Noct admitted, rubbing his neck.
"I know. You could never be mad at me." Prompto said and stuck his tongue out at Noct.
Noct was about to lean down and kiss Prompto when his phone dinged, notifying him of a message.
I hate to do this Prom, but it's almost time to wake up. It was a message from Carbunkle.
"So soon?" Prompto said forlornly, looking up at Noct. The other boy gave a knowing look. He stepped away from Prompto, looking extremely depressed.
It's almost 10 am on Eos. Time works differently here. Carbunkle sent with a sad face.
"I understand, but I wish I didn't have to leave you again." Prompto sighed and looked up at Noct. He pulled him into a tight hug.
"I wish I could go with you." Noct said and teared up.
"No, you can't cry, cause then I'll cry." Prompto joked, but he was already tearing up. Noct leaned down and pressed his lips against Prompto's.
"I love you, pleae never forget that." Noct told him and pulled away.
"How could I, you're the only one for me, I love you too." He nodded at Carbunkle, who had walked into the room when Noct stepped away, signaling that he was ready to leave.
