Oh my gosh, the opening scene to this is so damn cute <3
And haha, Ignis being pained by making rice krispie treats (oh, the horror!) is so great. Pumpkin ones though! Nice. Now I want some... But oh, Prompto trying to figure out the calories in them instead of being able to just eat one and enjoy it, it makes me sad for him.
The prince is pretty, what can he say?
YOU ARE SO RIGHT PROMPTO.
What vampire is sparkly? *snickers* What vampire indeed...
Though he knows that dark, festering place where he puts all those negative emotions is in there somewhere, waiting to overwhelm him. Well. That’d just have to be a problem for Future Prompto.
Ah, this is so painfully relatable. Trust me, Prompto, it's a terrible idea D: But I like that you're writing him doing this, and all of his later thoughts about thinking he needs to be thinner so he has the right to belong, because it makes the story feel that much more realistic, painful as it is.
Reading through Prompto's anxiety at getting frisked is making me anxious, giving me that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Probably for different reasons than him, but I absolutely can't stand people touching me, it makes my skin crawl and I get so freaked out when I know someone has to... I think you got Prompto down perfectly in this. And it makes me sad that Prompto doesn't feel comfortable enough being open about it to the others, that he lies and pretends to prank them. Poor baby ):
Dad joke Regis makes me cringe a little... but in a good way XD
“Don’t be silly,” Noctis tuts, waving his hands. “I’d probably get grounded."
This line is great XD As is this whole chapter. And the fluff at the end is so adorable! Prompto needs more fluff and cuteness in his life. So does Noct. Really, they all do. My poor boys ;_;
oh my god what a long and thoughtful and kind comment i'm crying in the club rn ;-;
i'm glad you like the prompto-bottling-everything-in angle!! i was a bit hesitant to go there but i'm glad it comes across well :) ah, i'm sorry to make you anxious residually :'( but i'm glad to know i was able to write that effectively.
haha thanks again, so so much!! <33 this comment really made my day :)
But yes, it definitely comes across well! I mean, not everyone's going to react like that to things of course, but Prompto? Prompto who is so incredibly insecure and uses humour to cover up his negative emotions so he doesn't have to deal with them, Prompto who constantly worries about fitting in with the others and so desperately just wants to belong, Prompto who wants badly to not be a burden or a nuisance and just be worthy of being Noct's friend? It feels so perfectly in character for him to bottle everything up and avoid it, and then try to convince himself (and the others) that everything's fine. Because it's so much easier to lie to yourself than have to face it and deal with the fact that you're not okay.
Anyways, I babbled. Sorry XD But glad I could make your day! (:
