I kind of imagine like

Prompto startle crying reflexively

the tears are beyond his control

Half laughing trying to diffuse the situation

'I just cant stop'

'F-Fuck Prompto'

And you know if he hit him hard enough to make his hand smart

'I - um - I'm not exaggerating to make you feel bad but I think somethings broken'

'I'll just say it happened in training'

Gladio is dying a little inside

Because he's essentially protecting his abuser

'No Prompto, you'd have had to file an incident report'

'I'll say I was messing with the equipment, didnt want anyone finding out'

'Just say what happened'

'No way, you're the Prince's shield, no one needs to find out'

'Prompto...'

'But Gladio, you *have* to do something about your temper'

I feel like he'd settle on that Gladio was showing him a move and it went wrong

And now he has a fractured cheekbone

Gladio would have such a hangdog expression no one would question

I do feel like Gladio would go to his father and tell him the truth

And Clarus is like 'Im not proud of what you did, but I am glad that you want to right it'

But i feel like He was telling Gladio to back off from Noctis

Ignis or Noctis would have dodged or blocked

but that doesnt make it any better

because he still would have reacted with force

Clarus calls Prompto to see him

Prom's like 'aw sheet'

he sits him down and offers his apologies and asks if Prompto wants to press charges

Thought he was about to be threatened into silence

And i feel like Clarus' problem is that it was such an abuse of power

against someone who was not even a little in his league

And Promptos like 'No way, omg, no no no'

'He's my friend, it's not going to happen again'

Can you imagine the reaction in a situation liek that

'You promised me!'
