[mercurio]

give me a hint?

[redarm]

you could fucking try reading the last conversation we had?

[mercurio]

[does]

[and returns]

is it about cloud

[redarm]

no
i got nothing against cloud.

[mercurio]

i don't understand

[redarm]

[There's a pause, as if he's really considering just leaving. But he'll finally drop a screencap of the part of the conversation that pissed him off:

"i've never /been/ a brother" ]

[mercurio]

?

[it's true though... in the most literal way, at least]

talking to cloud and being with him is one of the scariest things i've done
that's what i meant

[redarm]

cause hes your real brother, right?

[mercurio]

that's the truth though



[...............]




it's hard to explain

[redarm]

no no i get it.
bloods thicker than water, after all.

humouring some throwaway was fun
but you got a real family now
and thats the important thing.

[mercurio]

that's not what it is
i want to find out about where i come from
i want to find out about me
dunno if cloud has those answers but it's the closest i'm going to get to any of that

i hardly means i'm going to go make nice with my mother again or try and find my dad
for all i know cloud won't really want me to get too comfortable

i'm not forgetting anyone else

[redarm]

[There's a long pause.]

you just dont get it.
you havent even heard a damn word ive said, have you?

Fuck off.

[mercurio]

what? don't tell me to fuck off
why does it matter?? i care you know i care

i dunno what you expect me to say i thought it was clear that i got your back no matter what
stop assuming i don't get it anymore

[redarm]

I said Fuck off!

You don't get it! And I don't wanna hold your fucking hand walking you through it!
If you need that, ask Fai or Mr. Doushi! Fuck even Dante could probably wrap his brain around this one!

But leave me alone!

[mercurio]

if that's what you want
sorry

[there's so much prompto does in terms of chasing before the trying to push him away gets to him. it feels like he lives in a cycle]

[redarm]

[Noah doesn't respond back. Instead, he throws his phone. The clatter as it hits the ground echoes through the empty apartment.]
