Gladio doesnt do stray cats
He does stray people
I imagine when he sees how little Prom took he's like 'why risk your safety for such a small amount?'
Prom saw Gladio who was very subtle with his branded clothes
So he had money but wasnt being showy
Not like people wearing knockoffs
So he figured, this guy can lose a few crowns and not miss them
Probably wouldnt bother to give chase either because it was pittance to them
Only he apparently stole from a behemoth
Who came stampeding down the street after him
you know that anime run?
Gladio probably is more inpressed that he only barely noticed
MsChievousArt
N-naruto run?
Kaciart
LOL
OMG NO
Thats hilarious tho
I was thinking like
Draiad
proms personal horror story
a meet terrifying that turns cute
my brain is just like
comparing what the two of them see XD and putting gladio's mind as seeing prom do that tik tok run away "oh no i hope he doesnt catch me"
Kaciart
LOLOL Drai
Gladio thinks hes not intimidating
XD
When I was drawing this I kept seeing this scene
Where Gladio demands to know if Proms tatt is a gang tattoo
And Proms like 'no?? I dont know?? I've always had it?'
'What do you mean?'
'It was there when I was little'
Draiad
that would awaken a crisis in me omg
Kaciart
In Gladio too
Who tattoos a child
I figure Gladio gives him what he has on him
There's something about Prompto that intrigues but also bothers him
I'm imagining Prompto as Gladio's ear tot he ground
Imagine a scene where Gladio's walking through the market and he sees Prom hovering
And he's like 'you're not smooth'
'Im not trying ot be'
And then Prompto gets embarrassed because that was almost flirting
But he'd heard some whispers about weapons coming into Insomnia
Gladio carries the info to Cor who wants to know where he got his intel
Ohhh I have a few things going through my mind
What if Cor had been the one to bring Prompto to Insomnia
And had seen him be adopted
Assumed he was living his best life
So much later down the line Gladio brings Prompto to Cor to pass on some details
And Cor doesnt recognise Prompto but yeah he recognises the numbers on the tattoo
Promptos life is about to get better
Tho i feel like he'd have a lot of trouble settlinginto any kind of foster situation because he's not used to having a home
AND THEN
The other scenario
Horrible timing
Prom overhears Gladio talking about him
'You know the street urchin?'
Something kind of degrading
Gladio was posturing or just telling it in its most base sense
Prompto was probably crushing hard
But the class difference is suddenly slammed in his face
He never had a chance
Like, imagine someone askign Gladio who the dirty kid he was hanging around with was
Gladio laughing
'He can't help it, he's a street urchin - public toilets aren't the best places to bathe'
'At least he doesnt smell'
'Dude come on, he can't help it. You have a bath and you still smell like shit'
Like the guy implying he might want to check for fleas
Being gross and Gladios like 'these dickheads' in his head
But he doesnt want to cause a scene
not realising Prom is overhearing
It would have played out very different if he did
