Soft (Patreon)

im sticking to my promise of nice words only

Kaciart

lolol

Soft it is

tho

i am ~SO tempted

saltslimes

hmmm why do i feel a sense of foreboding

Kaciart

because of your comment about nice words

MT Proms first time in a real bed

hahah

made more amazing because

8D

its a prison cell

theyre like 'are you joking?'

saltslimes

WOWOW

Kaciart

hahaha

i felt challenged Salt

saltslimes

my mouth fell open im not kidding

Kaciart

im going for like

14/15 yo prom

MsChievousArt

and he's wearing a big shirt

Kaciart

well 8D

they dont really carry childrens sizes in Prison wear

 Asidian

My heeeeeart

God I love his face here

He looks so content

But also like. He shouldn't be content over soemthing like this

My heart is breaking

And the little scuff mark

And the too-big shirt

saltslimes

prom's story is a lot like, you know, you can feed hamsters just the food pellets and have them live in a tiny enclosure abd they wont DIE thats the thing, you can be a human and sleep in a metal box every night and you wont //die// but fuck

 Indridason

surviving vs living

 Asidian

Ffff the bandage on his arm, and the finger splint :(((

I love how his hand's on the pillow, too, like he was touching it before he fell asleep

saltslimes

the way he's sleeping like, on his stomach? he looks like he collapsed into the bed but,,, kind of defensive position, huh

 Indridason

yeah salt, he's got his arms up in front of his chest, curling in

saltslimes

protecting the vital organs

saltslimes

imagine going down to look at the captured weapon but its this kid

Asidian

Man, their faces are so grim here

They really don't like what they're seeing

Kaciart

'The doctors put him the same age as Noctis, maybe younger'

'I know.'

They stare for a long time

'We could make this work for us.'

'How could any of this work Clarus?'

Well, taking their own reactions into accont

Theyre not going to be the only people horrified with Niflheim using children

So they make it public

Prompto wont even know

He knows theres cameras monitoring him

Not that its being broadcast

Like i imagine Regis being like

'This could backfire terribly'

Like if Prom did turn out to be a killingmachine

But instead they get a kid who once withdrawal is over

Is terrified

saltslimes

"once withdrawl is over" loaded line

Kaciart

So Now Niflheim look like the monsters they are

Noctis has seen the feed

Regis is hesitant of him visiting

But

Again, the kindness of the royals towards this prisoner is doing wonders for their popularity

And Prompto definitely perks up when someone his age appears

saltslimes

presumably people his age would be the only ones hes encountered that didnt like, enact horrific violence on him

Kaciart

Can you imagine if he had no Lucian?

And its the first time he's tried to talk

Noctis starts to bring him gifts

Books

Shows him his games

And theres bars between them

And Noct is instructed not to get too close

They have a translator now

Prompto has 8D

Mentioned on more than one occasion about how SOFT his bed is

and he is in awe of the comfort

food took a while

'My friend likes to cook...I could bring you some?'

saltslimes

can he even eat at the start?

Kaciart

Probably not

be like a baby

start with liquids and work up

over cooked carrots

plastic cutlery

 Asidian

Also: awww, Noct offering to bring some Iggy cooking <3333

Kaciart

bathing would be a thing

Because it was probably a case of 'stand against a wall and get hosed down'

 Asidian

Ohhh yeah. BAthing would be so different

Kaciart

He's probably hyper adaptive

And he's been paying attention to the translator

saltslimes

and very keen to follow orders, id imagine

Kaciart

So One round when Noctis visits

He tries some hesitant Lucian

omg yess Salt

So much so they probably have ot be careful NOT to order things accidentally

'eat it, you'll love it'

Prompto does not love it, and now doesnt know what to do

A few days later Gladio is like

'I think he hates oranges'

Prompto starts to panic

Please don't put him in the small cell

'The what?'

Pods

for isolation

He wouldnt have words for things

So he'd have to describe them

Can you imagine Noctis

without thinking

reaches through the bars to rub Promptos shoulder

Gladio is like 'you fuckin' idiot'

Kaciart

Thats beeped out for the feed

But Prom lifts his head from where it was buried in him arms

like, this is so warm???

And then theres the day Prompto's given a book with chocobos in it

And he sits WAITING for noct

But Regis comes instead

and he's so excited

ANYONE WILL DO

Clarus can not stop smiling

Maybe Regis has come to tell him he must pick a name for himself

and don't say chocobo

But yes, Prompto, their own little weapon

Causes huge unrest in Niflheim

because they weren't aware - they only see the armour

Theyre inundated with people signing up to fight

No need for a peace treaty

Niflheim is imploding

I figure they also early enough

Move Prompto to a nicer furnished cell

because he might think its wonderful

But the people watching will not

Noctis and Prompto start sneaky touching

holding hands

Gladio's like 'i see you D<'

I figure there's set backs

Like when they tried to get someone in to cut Promptos hair

Which was essentially brandishing a weapon at him

They probably just shave it all off every now and then

when he was in Niflheim

Probably resulted in the royal hairdresser with a scissors stuck in his arm

and Prompto under the bed

They have now learned that LIVE livefeed is a bad idea

OH

SO What Niflheims answer to this??

Time to get rid of the problem

And they just so happen to have an agent

in the Citadel
