tbh i like to imagine that high school prompto and noctis engaged in the standard Fun & Risky high schooler shenanigans (vaguely dangerous pranks and dares, wore heelies, probably played around with noctis’ magic to do mundane things)
but i also like to imagine that at some point, prompto Realized that he was friends with the prince and like… if the prince died while trying to drink this two liter bottle of soda in one go they just…. wouldn’t have a king
like, one day noctis just goes “prompto push me down the hill in this shopping cart and record it” and prompto is like “lmao ok dude” and does but then on the descent noctis hits a big hole in the cement and the cart flips and in that moment while noctis is suspended in the air time freezes and prompto watches his own life flash before his eyes
and he thinks “this is it, this is how the prince of the entire country is going to die. he’s going to die in a freak grocery cart accident and it’s all going to be my fault. i killed the prince. i killed the last heir of the country. generations will pass and they’ll wonder, what happened to the line of lucis?
it was ended, in the parking lot behind the crow’s nest, by a grocery cart and prompto argentum.”
