That reassurance was enough to get Prompto's smile to tentatively turn genuine again. He followed Noct's gaze to his hand and put his own back where it had been.

He took a moment to think about an answer instead of just blurting out the first thing that popped in his head. Noct deserved a better answer than that. This was their hearts Prompto was talking about, after all.

"I don't know either," he finally admitted. That wasn't actually a better answer, but it was honest. "I mean.. we've all been in love with you for like.. ever. How could we not? You're wonderful Noct! You're our everything. Any one of us would do anything for you. And.. I don't know. I don't think having feelings for you mean I don't have feelings for Gladio." It was strange talking so honestly about this stuff. He'd just assumed all this time that he'd been silly and these were the same kind of elusive 'never gonna happen' dreams that Cindy had been.
