[prompto removes his hand in surprise, just looking over at noah with something akin to disbelief. but... prompto isn't so horrible he would think that noah is making this up. why would anyone want to make something like that up?]
That's fucked up.
[he speaks from a place of understanding--at least of empathizing, even if he would never be able to accurately put himself in that situation.]
--I meant what I said. You need anythin', I'm your guy. Kinda like family, right? I got your back.
[And he wasn't making it up. If anything, it probably explained a number of things about him. Why he was so hostile, so untrusting, so slow to warm up to people. It was hard to shake those times, to forget that the world could be such a cruel place for no good reason.
....
He gives a little nod at Prompto from under that hand. He did understand that. Prompto's always looked at him. He understood him, to some extent.]
...I know. You're....you kinda make me think of a weird big brother.

I don't know if I'm big brother material, but that means a lot. I promise to do my best to honor how you feel.
It's... hard to ignore it, but the past's the past. Right now? You mean something to people. You're someone important. At least, to me.

You're welcome, dude. If life gets you down, just let me know. I'll vouch for you. Who cares if some old lady got mad?
no subject
Well, hopefully not the rest of the group....
[He does appreciate Prompto's sentiment though. He sounds even a little happier. a little]
