[Prompto's image appears on the network with a worried expression on his face. He's already in his pjs (tank top and chocobo yellow pj bottoms) and he's pretty sure Iggy's already in bed but.. there's a very big and important 'something' missing from his room.]

Hey uh.. sorry for bugging everyone but uh..

[He glances back at his room uncertain.]

Has anyone seen Gladio? Buddy? If you're around will you just.. I don't know, shout 'Marco' or something for me? If you need alone time or whatever, that's cool. I won't come bother you but.. just..

[What if Gladio really was needing some alone time and he was being stupid about this? He didn't want to be harassing the poor guy.]

Never mind.

I...I don't think that. I think he was trying to be strong, like he always does...He didn't want us to know he was unhappy. Don't beat yourself up, Prom.

[Carefully, he laid Prompto down, pulling a blanket over him.]

Try to relax, okay...?

[bethereprompto]

[He didn't resist being encouraged to lay down and loosely curled up, feeling like someone had just told him chocobos were going extinct.]

You're not leaving, right?

[He didn't want to fall asleep and find himself alone. Of course, Noct couldn't really help that eventually.]

I can't remember what I last said to him. What if it was something stupid?

[sonoflucis]

[Noct shook his head and smoothed over the blanket.]

I'm not leaving. Just getting you comfortable, first.

[Noct let out a soft sigh.]

I'm sure it wasn't anything stupid. It's okay, Prom.

[bethereprompto]

[He went quiet besides sniffling. He found Noct's hand with his and held on. He silently prayed- he didn't even know to who- that Gladio was okay and wasn't hurt and sad and lonely somewhere.]

[sonoflucis]

[Noct held on to Prompto's hand and gave a light squeeze. Then he laid done next to the blonde.]

It's okay, Prom. It's okay...

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis came in after a bit and saw the two laying down. Well it was a good thing he brought a blanket, so he covered them up and gave them his pillow. And when he spoke, his voice was hushed.]

Sorry I took so long.

[bethereprompto]

[He couldn't get the tears to stop as he pressed in against Noct for comfort. What if Gladio didn't know? What if he didn't realize *just* how much he meant to Prompto? What if..

He sniffled and looked up when Iggy came in. His face was red and puffy from crying, but he attempted a smile at his friend. It was an automatic thing and not something he really felt- although he always loved seeing Iggy. It was confusing ok?

He started to cry again more earnestly when Iggy started fussing with them. It was such a Gladio move!]

I miss him, Iggy! Please say he'll come back.
