Wrung Out (Patreon)

Kaciart

Im between falling asleep in the tub from exhaustion

and a much more sinister parental punishment

Like in the second instance a bro definitely has the parent pinned off the side

And in the former I imagine Prompto has been off all day

And when he went quiet Noct was so fussy that Ignis was like

Honestly it would save my patience to just go and check on him

He was overheated so he got into a cool bath to cool down and fell asleep

I also feel like He probably had just woken as they arrived

So they hear him hacking up a lung

The clothes being on is more delerium

Just NEEDED to cool down

Ignis is ready to tear him a new one until he sees how out of it Prom is

He's like 'okay all cylinders were not firing'

They probably take him ot the ER just to be safe

And he'll have to be monitored in case of secondary drowning

In the other instance

imagine its xenophobia

Like his parents were fine when he was little - he was cute

A novelty but then as he got older they probably also felt the backlash

Like seriously - who would take ina niff. What kind of peopel are they

Ellaygee

oooh yes, probably seen as sympathizers

Kaciart

They've probably created such internalised prejudice in Prompto too

Im just imagining like them in public and someone making a comment

And theyre like making a point of being visibly disdainful of Prompto too

Like they'd speak so badly of him in front of him

'Yeahhhh we didnt know what we were getting into either'

So when they punish him he pretty much takes it

Because he deserves it

Ignis has a key and was maybe dropping some homework to Prompto

Maybe he was out sick so he was like

If he's sleeping im not going ot wake him up, I'll just quickly check in and leave the work

He could hear the sounds and hes like '....what am i even hearing?'

He made Noctis wait in the car because if he came in they wouldnt be leaving for a while

Like a sound no one should be able to recognize and hopefully never be in a position to recognize it

Kaciart

So he has parent on the ground, knee between his shoulder blades and rings Noictis to come in right away

Proms Probably trying to catch his breath

"Stay sitting up, Prompto! Noctis is on his way"

Rings the police

Ellaygee

wait, if they've conditioned him enough that he's taking the punishments without a fight does that mean he willingly got in the tub??

T.T

Kaciart

Yes definitely

He cant control his body fighting it
