Don't wake him (Patreon)

I was thinking about both scenarios while I was drawing this and the difference it made for the second picture despite it being the same one pasted across.

I was thinking it was more than likely crownsguard recruits but alternately it could be students in his school but the intent is still the same. He's being bullied.

As for why he's sleeping in the locker room.

-exhaustion?
-eviction?
-illness?

Either way - nothing good is going to come out of this encounter.

I feel like it could be the same reasons as above  with the addition of the bullying. 

I kind of imagined the hair that was hanging over prompto's face in this scenario was potentially hiding a black eye.

The bros have been looking for him for quite a while so in this situation there's relief. Ignis doesn't want them to spook Prompto. He's also waiting to hear Prompto's side before he decides if he's annoyed or not over the time they've spent searching.
