Father Figure (Patreon)

my brain is like
too busy making up stories
everything from ridiculous to sad
HES PREGNANT
Regis is like WE CANT KEEP IT
And then its like
like you said fatherly support
and also
'Im so sorry but you need to let Noctis go'
Maybe hes just stepping in to be a father figure because the boys are worried about Proms eating
and theyre out of their depth
Can you imagine Regis coming in as the recruits are training and asking ot speak to Prompto?
"Youre not in trouble, son. I hoped we could talk."
I was thinking like, it starts all serious and health concerns and then Prom says something about Noctis
And Regis is like '....tell me more'
And it becomes like their thing
And you know how Prompto works
If he feels like he's helping someone he's happy to do anything
Because Regis is so desperate to connect to his son
He's literally jumped at the chance to talk to his sons friend
They have weekly check ins
Lunch with the King, as you do~
And like, its also to talk to Prompto about himself
And there would be an improvement too
So Noctis is like
'Dad *__*'
And then a tentative
'We've been having tea, perhaps you could join us?'
'Uh...yeah sure'
ALTERNATELY
TIME TO GO PROMPTO
We'd really appreciate if you could do this in as little damaging to Noct as possible
'O-oh yes of course'
Regis explains why
avarii
I can totally see that too - Regis's #1 priority is and will always be Noctis everyone else be damned
Kaciart
He wanted to speak with Prompto himself because he KNOWS theyre dear to eachother so he wouldnt send a middle man
But it's been starting a lot of dissent with Insomnians
Theyre just not ready for a Niff to be so close to the Royal family
Imagine
Regis offers to fund his disappearance
Like he takes a scholarship in Altissia
Regis makes sure it genuinely benefits Prompto
A Photography course in a prestigious college
And a recommendation from the King
Prom pretends to recieve the letter
He applied never thinking he would get accepted
He acts THRILLED
The boys are all out of the loop
But theyre like 'this is...uh, this is a great opportunity'
So Prompto goes
And he slowly weans himself off texting Noct
I imagine most cuttingly the other 2 reach out a few times to ask him to message Noct more
Which is painful for him
SO THEN
Gladio and Ignis are disappointed in Prompto, Noctis was very hurt by it
But as their leaving for their roadtrip Regis confides in the older two what really happened
And theyre like
What does one do with this information
Because Prom was just one teenager against the KING
He really couldnt do anything
And Prom knew if he mentioned it to any of them it would do irreparable damage to Noct and Regis' relationship
I imagine Ignis after maybe a year or two, opening Promptos contact
'I know what happened'
Regis doesnt tell Noctis
Just the older boys
Probably with the intention for them to reach out because he's seen the hurt it caused
But maybe with everything thats coming, Noct can be allowed this one thing
SO
WHAT IF
Everything aside Prompto had enjoyed the training he did
So he continued when he went to Altissia
He would definitely be a secret weapon when everything happened in Altissia
Maybe Ignis uses him as an inside man
Because Luna's there
Maybe he's graduated
If hes a reporter he probably has a press pass to places
There's some fluff piece with Luna
