crashout | PROMPTO;

Huh. I'm glad you have a coin, but also kind of surprised it's just one.

[ Like... he thought Junpei would be getting it more? ]

Bio Blaster is this really big device that shoots out a blast or poison mist.

[He doesn't quite answer that, just canting his head curiously. Oh well. His coins are not the subject here.]

Alright, yeah, I really hope neither of those are around. They sound like they'd blow half of the ship apart. [But...hmmmm.] The gun was all you bought, right?

Just the gun and the bullets.

[ So he's well armed. ]

That's a good start. [He looks...relieved?] Hopefully we won't need to use them anytime soon, but it's good to arm yourself against whatever demon's still out there. [There's a sly grin.] And it'll help protect you and Hizamaru.

[Hizamaru is a sword who can take care of himself, but he's doing it to tease because I CAN'T BELIEVE PROMPTO IS DEAD.]

[ He's just sleeping.

He makes a noise in response to the tease, while his face goes red. Miiiight be why he got the gun, besides wanting to impress the boy. ]

Pretty sure he can protect himself. You know, he's been staying with me or having Higekiri stay over to keep me safe.

[ That is totally a normal friend thing too right. ]

[Closes eyes.]

He can, but in a place like this we could all use a little extra help. [Except for Junpei. Please leave him alone. The reaction's kind of funny though.] Nothing says you guys can't protect each other.

Yeah, I'm hoping I can definitely protect him if it ever comes to it. He's not really used to being seen as equal, you know? He's used to being used. It makes him happy, but that's not really what I want to do.

[ DO you want to hear how bad he has it for a sword? ]

[He tilts his head.]

So what is it that you do want to do? [Yeah. He's following this train.]

[ Well... there is something he really wants to do, but he isn't going to say that. ]

Be equals I guess?

...that's it? [He's. Gonna press because Prompto seems easy to press and he's trying to understand everything here.]

[ OMG KILL HIM ]

...maybe. Maybe eventually I'd like to date him.

[...hahaha.]

...you know that's not a bad thing, don't you? Sometimes it's a little better to date your friends than anybody else.

I know. I know. I just really don't want to screw this up with him.

[ It's been a pretty important friendship to him... ]

He's also pretty new to all of this. When I tried explaining dating to him before he thought maybe he was dating his own brother and then his Master.

...[Can he really say anything when Tamamo keeps calling him Master? But also, hm.]

How do you even really explain dating to anybody. [A two-handed shrug.] That line between love, hate, and friendship is already really thin. Is it surprising if those things end up blending together?

[Literally no one said anything about hate, Junpei.]

[ You can keep your Master kink, thats not his kink ]

Uh. I don't think hate usually goes in there. [ Are you okay Junpei? Is there someone you have a love hare friend relationship with? ]

The rest of it is true. I mean, he was a really good friend first before...

[ Before he realized he was full on in falling hard and fast ]

[There's a low laugh.] Yeah. Usually you're right.

You can like your really good friends, and you can really like your really good friends. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but what makes you sure it's that kind of like?

[ There's a frown at the word usually ] Are you talking from experience?

[ Also he'll fidget a little at the next question. ]

Are you really going to make me say it? [ He doesn't even wait for answer for that... ] My heart beats faster whenever I see him smile. I also forget how to even talk at times when we spend time together.

[ It's incredibly dumb and mushy ]

[There's a warning frown which says he's not going to talk about it, but it doesn't last long before Prompto keeps going.

...it's so, so stupid it's cute. And embarrassing. And kind of something he's all-too-familiar with.]

Careful. You practically have hearts in your eyes. [Dunking on Prompto is how he gets through the day.] ...for some people, it's instant like that. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

[ never know when it's too late to talk about a thing, buddy. he'll let it go though.

Also Stop ]

Hey. I'm not in it that deep... I think.

[ He sounds unsure there. Rubbing the back of his neck as he looks away. ]

Yeah... that's true. I just need to figure out what to even say.

[He's not in the mood to talk about his fianceé right now, it's fine. He loves her, but he hates some things. It's a confusing time.]

You kind of are. [Gently amused.] I've heard it helps to say it out loud until it sounds right, but you might not always remember the right words at the time.

[ Let him pretend it's not that deep. ]

Oh that's a good idea! [ Wait ] Knowing my luck, Higekiri would walk in and know what I was doing. Maybe I could try writing it down- wait. That won't work since there aren't a lot of paper options or anything to write with.

[Let Prompto be at peace. He frowns in thought though because yeah that's definitely a possibility.]

I have some leftover sticky notes? And a pencil. There's also probably some other stuff you can find around here to write on. Paper's not the only available surface.

Hm. Might need to save the sticky notes just in case.

[ You know there's more doors people shouldn't go in like the freezer ]

The pencil would definitely be good. Oh I know! I can use the napkins from the cafeteria.

[Into his pocket he goes and he hands Prompto a pencil.]

Napkins work, but be careful they don't rip. Or, like, get wet. [A gesture around them.]

[ Taking the pencil as he looks around. the sea is waving. ]

I can take it back to my room and work on it there.
