[Oh man. Noct and Gladio are- are what? Prompto's brain wracks itself for possibilities. He sits there, chewing on his lower lip and barely even paying attention to the food put into his hands other than a quick 'thanks' of automatic politeness to Ignis. They're... together? Well, it's not like Gladio isn't always around Noct, and they're really close. Is it a relationship? Or... are they just like, fuck buddies or something?

...Wait. Wait. Wait. Does that mean Noct's... like, into dudes? What about his marriage with Lady Lunafreya!? Or... maybe he's... into both...? What if he is into both? Does that mean he has a chance-- well, not if he's with Gladio! Does Ignis know?

His head is spinning. Does he like, warn Ignis or is he the only one who doesn't know? 'Cause Gladio sure freaking does!

It actually takes several seconds for Prompto's brain to catch up to the fact that Noct just spoke and he looks over, blinking once before his mind replays the words and tries to answer.] Uh- Uh, yeah! Just fine! Just, you know, tired. Today was crazy hot, right? [Babbling. He's babbling and he knows it but he plays it up with his bright grin and pops a bit of fish into his mouth, talking around it.]

Maybe we should see if we can sneak off and go swimming or something. [...Hmm.] Unless you think they'll wanna come too? Gladio gets real protective of you.

[He's his Shield, DUH, of course he gets real protective stop sounding like an idiot!]
