im imagining some kind of amnesia
like when he came back
he didt completely return
And he's confused
and sore and annoyed
because all these people pussyfoot around him
clearly know him
And he has the basics
He knwos he's the king and he knows how to rule
So he can do that
but he is fed up with the mournful looks on teh blonde guys face every time he sees him
So he decides he doesn't want him around for now
Its putting him in a bad mood
Because they all clearly want him to be something but he CANT
So Ignis and Gladio are loathe to do it but they have to
And they reassign Prompto
Try to keep an eye on him
But as Noctis begins to really commit to the kingdom their time is less and less
And then Noct starts having dreams
Which i imagine is bothe carbuncle and luna intervening
Gladio realises a day late that it was Proms bday
He decides to visit in person
and apologise but also check in
So he and Ignis arrive with cake onlu
no Prompto
The tracking has been disabled on his phone
but he does reply to their messages to say he's fine, and wont be replying to any after that for the foreseeable future
Prompto was more liek a ghost than Noctis and he caught sight of himself in the mirror one day and decided no, this has to stop
And the first step was to get out of there
So he goes out and starts contributing to the rebuilding
Helping people
Before he knows it he's in Niflheim
Aranea wont say it out loud
but she's all kinds of proud of him for actually putting himself first
So he and she start rebuilding there
Probably gain quite a reputation
One day Prompto gets a text from Noctis
'Come home, please. We need to talk'
'Not yet'
Prompto unintentionally becomes the face for Niflheims rebuilding
People start to look to him for guidance
and he's literally shitting himself
But he's 32 by now
He knows how to build from rubble
he's had Ignis in his ear so long he knows how to be diplomatic
He also is aware that he's more of a figurehead
and that Aranea and co are doing the bulk of the work
But whatever works
He probably starts to really heal
in particular his insecurities about his heritage
because these people KNOW what kind of terrible things were happening in their country
And eventually he gets back in touch with the guys
Noct did say once that he wanted to join their nations
So thats goign to be the next step
I kind of imagine him and Aranea joking about it
'Go home'
'I am home'
Its more like summer and winter home
Wedge pipes up
'Home is where the heart is'
Prompto and Aranea make identical 'I cant believe you just said that' grimaces
Theres definitely a happy ending in the future
and apologies
LOT OF THEM
I figure a year or two go by before Prompto returns
