Here's the gist how i see it
Prompto has missed 2 days of Crownsguard training
So Cor asked Gladio what the shit was going on
Because if he's not serious he can just not bother coming
And Gladio is like 'I'm sorry Cor, I haven't heard from him and I gotta run, that demonstration is on
The same demonstration thats sucked up all of Noctis' time
Gladio was just grabbing a spare shirt from his locker
So Cor is like 'Fine' but the more he thinks
And how eager Prompto is
Its not like him
Gladio probably says it as an aside to Noctis and he's like
'GET HIM TO CHECK BECAUSE I THOUGHT PROMPTO WAS MAD AT ME'
Because Noctis has been kind of unreachable
And Prom's messages over the weekend had gone mostly unanswered
And with the demonstration he's been excused from his classes this week
avarii
oh man, accidental bad friend!Noctis is one of my biggest weaknesses (ME TOO)

'Can I keep this cold?? I've lost 3lbs with no effort'
'Oh man, how do I still have snot?'
'That must be the 3lbs, its all snot'
'helloooo??'
'Did I gross you out?'
'Bloody snot'
'I wasnt cussing, its red now'
'darn snot lol'
'thats my iggy impression, bloody snot!'
'dont ever show him that'
'please'
'ok...umm...i'll stop talking now'
'typing'
'stopping'
'right'
'now'
'.'
He'd be back later
Noct then sent a 'Sorry for the radio silence dude, hows the cold?'
'Is this payback??'
'Hellooo??'
Gladio fires off a quick message to Cor before feeling his dads glare
and stuffs his phone away
Noctis is thinking that at least after this evening he'll be free
And he'll make is up
Cor 'lets himself in' when no one answers
Because he's a bit concerned
Could smell the sick when he peeks into the kitchen
Some of the stains are hard and dry
Most of the water form the broken glass is dry
Prompto startled awake when he hears the crunch of a piece of glass under Cors shoe
Is embarressed with the fact that he's thrown up all over himself and keeps mentioning it
He probably dropped the glass and when he jolted after it
the rush totally knocked him out
And he woke up reeling with a piece of glass wedged right into his hand
where he put his hand down to catch himself
He wraps a dishrag around it
Out of sight out of mind
youre not supposed to remove things anyway
And is like 'i'll just rest here a minute'
Which turns into a day
Probably puked the first time when he saw his hand
'Cold'
'Yeah, I'd say you are'
starts dialling an ambulance
but pauses, he'll be faster
and cuts through the house
Nothing in the living room to wrap him in
Pulls a blanket off Promptos bed
even through they smell a bit of stale sweat
Leaves the blanket draped over the couch
Comes back and kicks away the glass
before picking Prompto up
Who's pushing him away because no he's all gross and covered in puke
Probably pulls the tee off
and leaves him with the shorts because he's not about to put him thru that
wraps him up in the blanket cocoon
And carries him out to his car, strapping him in to the passenger side
He's dangerously dehydrated in Cors opinion
He probably figures the medical wing in teh Citadel will be best
rather than wracking up bills when he'll be transferred there inevitably once Noctis gets his hands on him
Clicking his fingers in front of Proms face whenever his head lolls forward
Prom startles awake like its the first time he's done it every time
'Whawazza'
When he gets him to the infirmary he just says its one of the recruits
no need to say he's essentially brought an outsider in
Carried him through the halls
And then he relinquishes him to their care
Once he sees them get started on the fluid bag
Sends off a text to Gladio
'A. was sick, brought to Medwing, fine now'
Gladio knows cor well enough tho
To read between the lines
Cor wouldnt have done anything if he was well enough to stay at home
'see a doctor D<'
The text reads as that he was bad enough to need hospitalisation
Also Cor has done his piece
So he's left a confused Prompto surrounded by strangers
he doesnt know Promptos hang ups
he still wouldnt have stayed
But he would have called someone who knew him to sit with him
And like for Prompto
who's had nightmares of labs
and experiments
This isnt a hospital
They probably inevitably had to sedate him
and had to move the IV to a different point because he'd ripped it from his hand
The demonstration ends and Gladio take Ignis aside
they dont need Noct making a scene either
His father comes over with a charming smile
But Gladio recognises it as his 'im going to fucking kill you, you've been distracted all day'
that smile a parent gets 'youre dead son 8D when we get out of here'
And then he shows him the messages
And Clarus knows
'I'll make a call
Rings the medwing
D: HE WENT CRAZY SIR
puke and blood everywhere
panic attack
collapsed and they got the IV back in and some sedative in the drip
Probably have restraints on
So now he's half awake and just crying
'Did anyone explain where he was?'
'well we didnt really get an opening...'
aka
We're a bit phobic
because we saw that he's clearly a nif
And why are we even looking after him
Clarus is like 'right'
Hangs up and goes to regis
'Youre not allowed to be mad at Gladio - youre just a distracted' 8D *waves*
*whispers*
'Time to wrap this up!'
Good night everyone!!
get out of my house
party's over
Nocts like 'this is unusual for dad
'i might actually get an early night'
Oh ho ho no you wont
