Was this how Prompto thought all the time? Gladio wanted to laugh again. He didn't think that Inigo would react the same way Prompto did to his methods of calming the blonde down. So he needed to find a different way.

So he moved to lift his hands and drop them into Inigo's shoulders and leaned down so that he was looking directly into the teen's eyes. Gladio was smiling, there was actual affection in that smile, his eyes were calm, warm chocolate brown. Nothing threatening here!

"Inigo... Chill. I'm sorry I teased you. But I promise, I do it to everyone I consider a friend, even Prompto. Especially Prompto. And yeah, thinking before you say something is a thing people do. But..." It was cute when people like Inigo didn't do it, and it was good for a laugh. Gladio didn't say that though, he didn't want to set him off again! "... You're good how you are. So relax."
