Prompto thinks about Noctis constantly. Pri thinks about him when they wake up, all the way until they go to sleep. It’s embarrassing. Every action in prins day has prins boyfriend in mind, even if it’s subconsciously. Unfortunately this includes staring at princeself in the mirror.
Pri’s doing this now, eyes tracing every curve of prins body, every hair, every bit of acne. Prompto doesn’t hate prins body anymore. That was an old phase. One that did more harm to prin than good, and pri never wants to get like that again. Yet, when pri gains the weight pri wanted to gain, it’s like an instinct telling prin it’s wrong. Prompto curses the world they live in. Maybe if this wasn’t taught pri wouldn’t have to deal with it.
“I’m handsome.” Prompto’s words are a whisper, barely echoed in the bathroom pri’s in. It must be true. Prins body is nice and plump, the testosterone making the weight distribution more masculine, making prin more hairy. I mean, pri’s practically a bear. Bears are hot right? Prins tits aren’t a problem either. Noctis obsesses over them. So what is it? What keeps prin stuck to this mirror?
The blonde huffs, running a hand down prins face and walking out back into the living room of prins tiny apartment. It’s comfortable, and the smaller space makes it easier for Prompto to fill it with things that pri likes. Now if pri could just like princeself wholeheartedly.
“Noct, I have a question.”
Prins boyfriend, essentially a phone screen, looks up from his own phone, mouth turning into an uncomfortable line. Noctis doesn’t do well with many questions. “Yeah..?”
“Am I sexy?” It comes out quick, and Prompto is praying Noctis heard prin. “Like, don’t be biased. Be serious. Serious question. Am I hot?”
Noctis’ face seems to relax at the reveal in topic, but he furrows his brows anyway. “Yeah, you’re very sexy, Prom.” Prompto almost missed a word because of his connection. “You’re the hottest person I know. Is something wrong?”
Prompto, who had been standing awkwardly, finally sits in front of prins phone, letting prins boyfriend see him. “No, nothings wrong. I just didn’t know if I was or not.” There’s obviously a little more to that. “Like- you’re very hot, and that’s obvious from when I first look at you. But I’m not so sure if it’s obvious for me—“
Noctis looked like he wanted to say something midway, but kept his mouth shut. He makes an affirmative noise.
There’s a silence that makes Prompto’s stomach churn. Pri knows Noctis likes prins body. It’s a constant topic of conversation. But the comments that pri has heard about princeself and the people pri portrays through photography tell a different story.
“Prompto, you’re very handsome. And attractive. I like your body a lot, I think you’re very hot. And clearly other people do too—“ He tuts quickly to stop Prompto from interrupting. “I mean, Gladio saw something in you while you were dating right? Why would he want to if you weren’t hot?”
Pri’s a little shocked. Noctis doesn’t enjoy talking about past relationships that aren’t them. He’s making a very good point. Even then, pri persists.
“You’re legally obligated to say that, you’re my boyfriend. How do I know you don’t just like me for the inside and not the outside? Like Sean Queenston?”
“Just because you’re my girlfriend doesn’t mean I have to lie to your face. I’m being for real, babe.” Noctis moves his head closer to his laptop, trying to get Prompto to look at him. “Seriously, why would I want to open your legs and—“
Prompto interjects immediately. “Okay, okay!” Pri’s embarrassed, cheeks red and warm. The feeling in prins stomach isn’t bad anymore. “I get what you’re saying.. I’m a sexy guy.”
Noctis nods. “Yeah, you’re a sexy guy.”
“I’m a sexy guy!” The blonde stands, hands in fists near prins boobs. “I’m hot and sexy and cool, right? You like my ass and stuff right?”
A laugh leaves prins boyfriends mouth, but he nods anyway. “Yes, though your tummy’s my favorite.”
Prompto grins, a nice warm feeling enveloping prin. My tummy’s his favorite. Pri giggles at the thought, flapping prins hands in pure glee before sitting back down. It takes a second before pri speaks again.
“You wanna play Mario Party?”
