20! With prompto maybe? ;)
oooooohh hell yes, ive been meaning to knock this boy up again soon!
Prompto’s face is contorted in pain and his back arches off the bed as he lets out another feeble cry. The screaming had stopped hours ago, his voice too torn up and wrecked for more than the low warbles of pain he was able to make now. His stomach quivered, and it was impossible to tell if it was from the creatures inside him trying to escape, or from his body shutting down after the torturous hours of pushing and fighting.
“Yes, you can! C’mon, Prom, another big push” Noct encourages, he’s trying to remain the more positive of the two, but being front seat row to the birth of some daemon monstrosities he can’t help but feel sick to his stomach knowing this is happening to his best friend.
There’s not response though, not even a quiet grunt that would signify Prompto pushing again, and there’s no movement from below. Noct looks up to find Prompto’s eyes shut and his head lolled off to the side weakly, and panic bubbles up in his chest.
“No, no” he worries, coming up to take Prompto’s cheeks in his hand, even if it means smearing blood and fluids across their pale surface. “No, Prom, C’mon! You can’t rest yet. Keep your eyes open!”
He’s still for a terrifyingly long moment, and Noct gives him another shake before he sees his eyelids flutter open and Prompto’s eyes find his.
“N-Noct…” Prompto hiccups out a sob, “It h-hurts…”
Noctis heart just about breaks in two right then, and he pulls his poor friend into his chest and holds him tight. Prompto’s hands cling tightly to Noct as his shoulders shake in quiet sobs, and all Noct can do is shush him gently.
“You can do it, Prom. You can do it.”
Noctis feels his muscles tense under his hands, and the gentle grunts as he starts to push again. The monsters inside him inch slowly, closer and closer towards their freedom.
