NERVOUSNESS DANCES from his toes to his nose , a tingle in his feet causing them to wiggle in his shoes . he glances left to right & cants his head toward his shoulder before the true meaning of yusuke’s words overtake his born anxiety .

“𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙀 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙎𝙀𝘿” 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙈𝙋𝙏𝙎.

basically i was rewatching a load of shows while i was sick for the last two weeks, and it just dawned on me how beautiful a notion it is to miss someone, or miss something? so before i go headfirst into the emotional motivation behind these prompts, i’ll post them, and hope you’re all having a fantastic week, and that you enjoy these prompts as much as i enjoyed writing them!

“ i miss you. “

“ i’ve missed you. “

“ i’ll miss you. “

“ you’re coming back, right? “

“ when will i see you again? “

“ please don’t go… “

“ i could go with you! “

“ when will you be back? “

“ you know you can’t come with me… “

“ i didn’t wanna leave without saying goodbye. “

“ i hate goodbyes… “

“ i’ll always find my way back to you. “

“ hey… no tears, alright? this isn’t goodbye. “

“ don’t leave me. “

“ i’ll see you soon, okay? i promise. “

“ this isn’t goodbye, you know. “

“ this isn’t goodbye. this is… until we meet again. “

“ i have to go now… “

“ were you really about to leave without saying goodbye? “

“ i don’t think i’ve ever missed anyone, or anything, the way that i miss you right now. “

“ hey, where’d you go? i was starting to miss you! “

“ why? do you miss me? “

“ stay with me… “

“ you know that i can’t stay here… “

“ what will i do without you? “

“ look outside your window… you see the sky? good. so do i. because we’re looking at the exact same sky right now, okay? so no matter where we are, or how far apart we are… we’ll always be underneath the same sky. so we’re not that far apart at all. “

“ i’m gonna miss you, you know. “

“ i didn’t expect myself to miss you as much as i do/did. “

“ i wish you were here. or i was there. just… i wish we were back together again. “

“ what’s it like over there? “

“ i couldn’t leave without seeing you again. “

“ if… if this is the last time i’ll ever see you, i need you to know… i have loved, and will never stop loving, you. you hear me? i love you. beyond whatever happens next. i love you. “

“ no matter where you are, where you go, where they take you… i will always find my way back to you. i promise. “

“ stop! stop lying! you left, and you’ve taken a part of me with you, so i want to know! i want… i deserve an answer. i deserve the truth! where are you? and why did you have to go there? “

“ i’ll hold you in my heart, until i can hold you in my arms. “

“ in case you ever foolishly forget; i am never not thinking of you. “

“ my heart never knew loneliness until you went away. i am missing you. “

ooc : they/she , 24 , white                      icon credit 

001. PLEASE PLEASE be patient with my IC and OOC . that means writing-wise, IMs, discord, asks, etc. I am not and will not always be in the mood for chatting or even writing. Just because you see me writing does not mean I am willing to have a conversation. Just because I am having a conversation does not mean I will be writing.

002. That being said, if I haven’t replied to you, do not guilt trip me to respond. Sending me another message to grab my attention is fine, but do not act like a victim because I did not respond fast enough for your liking. I have a job, I have a life. I have several chronic illnesses , some physical , some mental. I will not always be around.

003. There is some fandom material I won’t interact with, such as Attack on Titan, and horror-based movies/live-actions. I am hesitant with Genshin Impact. Most horror anime is okay with me.

004. I am multi-ship and ship exclusive! I very much enjoy shipping. Prompto is bi and trans and uses he/him pronouns so please respect him! 

005. I currently have no ships.

006. There WILL be triggering topics on this blog. I will try to tag everything accordingly in tags that are relatively universal so they are easy to block. Things that will be present are PTSD , neglect , hallucinations , possession , family death , etc .

LIKE HER. no  --  familiar. but how ? this presence is something peaceful yet destructive & he can’t put his finger on what it is. though, truly, he can’t argue that he’s much different. to those perceptive enough, they can probably see right through his light & into his darkness. he makes no judgements on another person’s twilight. instead, he plays the part. a facade masqueraded in flirtatious joy & silly, lighthearted company. it’s all lies from here.

                ❝   absolutely stunning today, madam. the picturesque of beauty !  ❞

he puts his worn - down camera out on display, old tri-pod & all.

where does your power lie ?

☆ --  the heart.

your power is steady and driving. your power is fickle, it skips and it races and it bleeds and it burns. your strength is in how much you care, about everything. your strength is cold and it is stone and it is soft and it is on your sleeve. and you love. my god, do you love.

❛ like all agony , there are pleasant moments ❜

@asterites .

                         ❝   'course .  ❞

SO MATTER - OF - FACTLY does his one worded response slip from treacherous lips. as if nothing in the world could prove her wrong, as if there is no agony in the world to dwell on or fear or dread every waking night. nope. nothin’. so, he stretches gloved hands & feels the leather pull with moisture on his palms. he always gets clammy whilst pretending, despite being so damn good at it. the corners of his mouth pull tight together, & he gives a wry smile. something that says ‘ don’t worry, seriously, ‘  despite everything feeling wrong. 

                                                    ❝   whyyy wouldn’t there be ? ❞

& he sees her gives him a look. something knowing, as if she could see right through him -- which she can, all things considered. having witnessed him at worst, best, and in his limbo of concrete mediocrity, he’d say she has a pretty good idea about what’s going through his head. most of the time, that is. is he troubled ? sure, usually. so, he supposes now doesn’t feel too different. he’s just able to hide it better  .  .  .  to most people.

                             ❝   oh yeah.    that. ❞

can’t play off the way the sweat builds up on his forehead & how his bangs stick to it rather than poofing their usual poof. how his fingers find complacence with each other, fiddling & twiddling. how his feet kick back & forth like he’s listening to a tune even when there is no music. he knows that she knows the slightest differences. can’t hide this time  --  or, like, anytime. & so he reverts to his spacey self, uncomfortable, as most times, but the thumb twiddling stops at least.

                                 ❝   can’t uh  -- can’t argue with that logic .  ❞

‘course there are pleasant moments. like when they’re together, & some semblance of comfort is restored to physique. or like when they try to stifle their laughter in fear of others hearing, or telling stories of the boys & their grand adventures, as loathe as he is to admit that one. ‘course there are those slivers of silver lining in their foggy, cloudy, days. sunlight’s gotta come from somewhere.

                            ❝   remember when i tripped & that guard went totally tumbling ? he . was . pissed . still embarrassed about that, but hey, i count that as a secret win. or that time you snorted while trying not to laugh ?! yep. that was a keeper. & hey, at least we got a place to rest. beats the outdoors any day, i’d say.  ❞                  he pauses.

        ❝   so, you’re right . gotta keep our heads up if we’re gonna get through this. ❞

headcanon 041.

prompto seems the type to wanna help and always be there for his friends even in hard times, like he WANTS to show he’s there for them, but in reality he’s kinda awkward and gets uncomfortable & internalizes & focuses a lot of his emotions on what he’s feeling, rather than what the other person is feeling. he CARES about them and desires to be the person that they can come to with anything but he lacks the experience of knowing what to do when he’s put in that type of situation. apart of him always just projects his feelings into the situation, though he never says them out loud. instead he kind of lingers awkwardly, hoping they know that he’s there if they need him, and there if they don’t. he wants to be that helper but instead he’s so empathetic that he just takes on the emotion and feels with them rather being able to offer physical touch, or solutions that might help lessen a problem. his lack of past friendships definitely don’t help, but i feel like that’s why he and noctis vibe very well. noctis doesn’t expect anything, and prompto doesn’t really know how to go about giving anything, so when they struggle they vibe with their emotions in silence that feels awkward, but is oddly comfortable for them specifically.

LIKE ANEMO’S FORCE, a firm gasp escapes him  --  a tumble, a trip, an almost-fall-down  -- his coffee beverage goes flying through the air as he keeps himself from landing full - force on the pavement. liyue is crowded today, much more than usual, & while trying to maintain distance from one person, he’d fall right into personal - space of another. this time, though, it was a little more dramatic than a potential invasion of space. 

he turns quickly to see what devastation has occurred, or if devastation has occurred & sure enough  .  .  .  there he stands, a total stranger, dripping with iced cold brew.       shiiit.

                          ❝   oh -- oh no !        awww, man  .  .  .  ❞

he gives a brief cough, & it is awkward as hell.
