Noctis let himself be held for a moment, afraid to turn his head and open his eyes to find that the other would disappear. Just another cruel attempt at comfort from the gods. Yet that didn't make sense with that last glimpse.

...not alone. I'm here...

Noctis pulled away, gently, and only enough so that he could turn. If or when he did, he gently wrapped his arms around Prompto, fingers grasping at the leather jacket.

He could let him turn around, it was hard to say how long it took because this place was so strange, time seemed to be irrelevant like everything else, floating in a void of sorts.

"I'm here." Prompto repeated, pulling him to his chest since he was hugging him back and petting his hair.

"And you need to wake up. You were on an airship. You have to go back. Please?"

It was a small, unsteady plea.

[warpstriking]

Good. Because Noctis was going to regardless. Hug, cling, but not once shake. He accepted this, resigned himself to his fate. For it wasn't just his past, but his present; his future.

"Prompto, I-" I don't know how and I'm sorry are what he wanted to say, but like so many times, words failed him. Instead he shook his head. Prompto's here, but he shouldn't be. No one should see him like this.

His words weren't quite reaching the dreamer, the pull of memory too strong. "You do, too."

Go back. Go back.

Just like that. The memory ripped them apart, Noctis curling back into himself as Prompto's presence disappeared.

[chocobosnap]

"We can-" He sucked in a breath. "Together."

Noctis may not have been shaking but Prompto was slightly, he hadn't accepted anything - he wasn't ready to see this, or for it to happen.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Prompto ran out of time and Noctis was pulled from his arms, ripping them apart as the dream faded away, ripples of a new one coming to his consciousness.

"Astrals." Prompto breathed as it came into focus. He was staring at the First Magitek Production Facility and all thoughts of Noctis alone in that crystal faded away.
