Not a hero (Patreon)

When the school is attacked despite having minimal training Prompto steps up to the plate.

He was doing pretty good too, until he wasn't.

CONTINUATION:

asidian

The idea that Prom tried so HARD

Ad ultimately failed because he is not equipped to handle the situation

Is devasating

This boy :(((((

Did he at least buy time for someone else to get there and get them out of there?

The pose is so good here, though

I love the way they're tucked up against each other

It's very almost yin yang

kaciart

I kind of imagine the kidnappers came on a bit strong

The dialogue 'No one was supposed to die'

Kept running through my mind

asidian

Ohhh no DDD8

DID someone die???

kaciart

And they take Prompto with them because if they leave him there he's bleeding out

So i kind of pictured them like not vicious but bad people none the less

asidian

Ohhh I see :0

kaciart

So like Prompto waking in a bed, stripped to his boxers under the sheets and his injuries treated

asidian

Oh man

That would still be terrifying D8

kaciart

but like stitches and bandages

no potions

asidian

Ohhh

He would probably know right away that Noct's people didn't get to them

kaciart

And someone comes in and pulls up a chair and is like 'Want to tell me why an MT is jumping to the Prince's aid?'

asidian

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

kaciart

Maybe up to now he doesnt know what it means at all

just that its bad

And the person can see this

asidian

Oh man

kaciart

And all Prompto wants to know is where Noctis is

even though he's clearly panicking too

So the persons like 'whatever, it's not worth the noise, bring the Prince in here'

because Noctis has been shouting the place down about Prompto

asidian

Oh thank goodness

Ohhhhhhh

kaciart

Noct climbs in to him and tries to reassure him

asidian

These boyyyys ;;

kaciart

Escaping isnt going to work because Proms too badly hurt

So waiting for a rescue it is

asidian

Oh mannn

:(a

It is so sweet that Noct won't even think of going without him

I seriously love the pose here, though

They both look so crumpled and lifeless

I love how Noct is sort of curled in on himself

With the bent knees and the arm pulled in tight against him

And the way the other arm is out straight, jsut completely limp

His face, too

Oh my god, he looks completely gone

The slack mouth and the closed eyes

And the little line of blood is so striking

It really reaches out and smacks you in the face

And he always looks so neat in his school uniform but I love how his tie is askew here

asidian

And prom, man

His pose looks even more out than Noct's does

Like he just crumpled over backward where he stood

That definitely looks like the kind of position someone would fall unconscious in

I love how his back is almost flat

And his legs are turned the other way

And the way his face is tipped up toward the sky

asidian

Is beautiful and painful and so, so vulnerable

And the blood stains are such a good touch

Owww

And is that glass?

Or debris?

These poor boys

At least the kidnappers didn't leave him to bleed out

This is wonderful

:((((((

kaciart

yess shrapnel

I figure the blast sent them sprawling
