Prompto had been pacing near your locker for ten minutes before you finally showed up. Graduation was steadily approaching, and Prompto had always been aware that your plans for the future involved college and grad school and pursuing your studies. But now, he had found his own calling at Noctis’s side as a Crownsguard, and he was terrified that this would be it for you two.

“Uh, hey you,” he says, plastering on a smile with way too much enthusiasm. He wasn’t sure how to say it without sounding like he was about to disappear. “Up for a trip to the arcade?” Friends lose contact all the time, especially when they follow their own paths, but the thought of you not being in his life anymore terrified Prompto. The thought of leaving and not being able to talk to you the way he did now—well, it was terrifying.
