[ Listen, he and Prompto are in the same boat. Except Prompto flat-out ignored the whole sex thing the second he discovered he could potentially help save Eos more than he already has been by sticking beside Noctis. Except this is more direct. And he felt less useless. So... Sacrificing his body for the greater good? Easy!
Except it’s not. Because he literally did not think about it.
Prompto is only partly startled by the response because now he realizes that... Yeah, this looks weird. Because he literally looked the guy up. And he’s lucky he remembered his first name; it’s pretty easy to remember! And he may have recalled it easier because the guy has this attractive, roguish look to him but he’s also... Not sure why that ever matters. But it does. ]
it’s super state of the art where i come from! spent months saving for it. oh, the action figures that were sacrificed... your memory lives on in my heart no regrets though
and uh is that weird? it just seemed like i hit you pretty hard
[ wait is that innuendo now that they basically live in a porno? should he have thought that one through? well, he didn't and he's not about to start thinking about the things he says now. ]
i mean
i'm glad it was okay
i know what it's like to have tech that's special to you. my ship was like my baby
[ TOO BAD IT DIED IN A FIERY INFERNO. he tries not to think about that one. ]
[ HIS MOM SLAPPED HIM AND IT HURT :( hurt more than being clocked with a camera. the emotional pain was potent. ]
yeah, a spaceship! a starfighter.
i don't have it anymore, though. it blew up. but when i get home, the first thing i'm gonna do is get a new one. or try to. can't be a pilot without something to fly
i have literally never met the pilot of a friggin’ space ship in my entire life! whats it like? did you puke the first time? what does space look like from space? INQUIRING MINDS MUST KNOW! MY INQUIRING MIND IN PARTICULAR
it's amazing! there's no better feeling than being in space. when the stars are flying past you, you feel like you can do anything. nothing else beats it.
i didn't puke, i don't think. my mom was a pilot too, and she'd take me up with her back before i could even remember. so i've been used to being up in space my entire life, you know?
um ... huh. i mean, it's bigger. there's more of it. and it's all around you. it's like the difference between looking at an ocean and being in the ocean. you can see things in the water, but when you're in the water you're THERE. i think that makes sense.
[ Screw getting hard for the sake of sex. Prompto could easily go full mast right now. But he’s not. He’s just wriggling where he sits on his bed just busting at the seams here. Because out of all the aspirations Prompto has had and has known he will never achieve, its being an astronaut. He’s way too dumb for that, so he thinks. And he’s pretty sure it would kill him somehow.
But gods, to know someone who has literally experienced it many times. Poe is officially the coolest person he’s met here.
Prompto is literally tearing up at this; he’s living out a sci-fi fantasy here. And as scary as this whole thing he agreed to is? It’s nice to know he’s being exposed to stuff like this. It’s a once in a lifetime chance. ]
holy shit ok full disclosure? you’re like number one on my list of awesome people i’ve met here so far
[ if poe had the behind the scenes sneak peek at prompto's mind he would be so touched right now. like, how pure is this kid. HOW PURE IS HE. if he had an x-wing he would take him up on a space tour RIGHT NOW. (and he'd have to sit in poe's lap because there's only room for one person in an x-wing, but they'd probably both be into it.)
as it is he'll just have to feel touched by all these bold declarations. ]
really? wow! thanks, buddy.
[ poe inside: SURE HOPE I DON'T DISAPPOINT HIM IN THE DAYS TO COME ]
uh-huh. i have a military uniform for when i'm on the ground and a flight suit for when i'm taking anything out in the air. don't have either here with me, though.
[ Listen, he isn’t fully aware of the levels of gay he’s got going on yet but that lap sitting would probably sound tempting.
Prompto, being the astounding ball of nerves he always is, is already thinking he’s not worthy of talking to someone like this. Anything he’s got going for him is either totally boring or... Well. Not worth sharing.
He audibly whines at the uniform news. Or lack thereof. Sorry, roommate. ]
ok if by the grace of the gods you get those uniforms back hmu because i need pictures
i don't think it's gonna happen. but the military one is green and the flight suit is orange. i spend so much time in the flight suit that it's kinda weird not wearing orange, now that i think about it.
yeah? my favorite color’s green! and it’s super top-secret but i’m a body guard! and a pretty kick-ass gunman with pretty kick-ass guns my arms because my guns aren’t actually here
Well. He hopes he did. Prompto is absolutely, positively starstruck to have met a spaceship pilot, and he’s essentially incapable of sitting still right now. He grins at the compliment and interest, even though he’s taking it completely literal. ]
ah man, i definitely miss my arsenal but i gotta warn you these guns attached to me? they shoot to kill 💪🏻🎸
[ Oh look, simply existing is Prompto’s only requirement for friendship too! Except he is super into Poe and is already thinking up cool nicknames for their imminent bromance. He’s gonna need to facilitate a selfie with him to commemorate this. ]
lol! never seen emojis before? dude they’re awesome if you’re creative enough, you can make a sentence out of them
