somebody else might take my place

     ‘ I never said it was about me, now did I? ‘ He sighed, but the way he said it, it really did sound like it. He hadn’t meant for that. Despite what Stella was saying, however, it was actually more about Noctis than any of them. He was the king, and the one chosen to bring the light back. Nothing any of them could have wanted, nothing they could control either.

     He could recall most of the events in Altissia, all leading up to a loss. Then another in Zegnatus Keep-- Both of which made his better half feel sympathy for the blond female. He knew that it probably wasn’t easy, but he wasn’t able to relate as easily. Didn’t make him feel any less.

Twelve couldn’t help but to scoff a bit, refusing to fall for that lie as well as that false sense of security the MT was trying to lure him into. He had a few grenades on him since they didn’t pat him down yet, which did give him a chance to escape if he played his cards right and waited for the right moment. The moment he thought they were going to drag him back to the labs he would glady take that chance of being shot and killed rather than the alternative. “Mind if I ask how human you are? You’re clearly not like the other MTs.” A bold question that could very well get him in trouble, but considering he was also a lab rat he just had to know…

     He figured from the sound that was given, he wasn’t having any of what was being said. And that was fine, expected really, he’d been through this more than he could count-- So he knew. As they approached the prison area, Prompto stopped everyone and looked at “Toji”. ‘ Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t mind if my guys search you, right? It always slips my mind, but the guys know to do it before we get in there. ‘

     He would be lying if he said it was a constant thing. It wasn’t, he just liked to play it off. However, as he let that hang in the air, he thought about the question. How human was he. As far as he knew, he was still more human than anything else. He just had a few fixtures here and there replacing very few parts of his body.

     The hybrid didn’t initially answer when the other had addressed him. He hadn’t really spoken a word to anyone after finally being released from that torture chamber, from Ardyn-- For a while. He didn’t really care to meet anyone. Looked like he wasn’t going to avoid it forever.

☠ ☣ ☠

     Yes, he knew this was an equivalent to a death sentence if they were caught, but he was willing to risk it. If they were lucky, Noctis and the guys might be there to see her get out-- He just needed to slip away into the shadows right away. He took a look around the corner again, letting go of her before signaling that they were good to go.

     ‘ I thought there would have been more security at the labs and such, but I guess it makes sense we have some here too. ‘

     He hummed as he shifted in the corners where he knew there was little to no light. After all that has happened, he was sure Ardyn had set all these guards at the front. Preventing anyone from leaving or coming unless you were one of them.

The smile from the blonde MT was unsettling. Could he actually trust this guy’s word? Sure he appeared to have some humanity left but that didn’t really mean anything.

“Toji.” If he gave out his number that would be a dead giveaway that he was a run away lab rat. At least with an alias that would buy him some time. but gods if they took his finger prints and ran them through the system he would likely be in trouble. 

“I take it if I try and run that’s when you’ll shoot?”

☠ ☣ ☠

     His smile actually softened to a degree, looking like a genuine smile opposed to something sinister. ‘ Toji, great, I’ll be sure to have the boys put it down as soon as we get there. ‘

     Prompto knew very well what they would have to do later. And considering how curious he was about this guy, he probably would let them go through with it. Though his other half was telling him it probably was a bad idea. With a shrug, he let those thoughts rest in the back of his mind. They would just have to see how things progressed.

     ‘ I don’t think that’s a good idea, Stella. ‘ He said quietly. ‘ I’m a rough sleeper. Plus, I’m on watch duty tonight, so why don’t you spend the night with one of the other guys. ‘

“Alright.” 

Twelve had no choice but to obey and hope for the best. Sure he was armed, but knew that they would likely take away both his grenades and gun so he wouldn’t try anything. Thankful that he hadn’t removed his colored contacts yet, he just quietly prayed to the six that both his red eyes and the tattooed number on his arm would go unnoticed. It was all over if they put two and two together and realized he was a fugitive lab rat. 

If it came down to that Twelve was almost certain he’d rather be shoot and killed, same went for if they tried to pry information out of him. Nothing was going to make him rat out Nine.

“I’ll cooperate…”

☠ ☣ ☠

     ‘ Good, that’s what I like to hear. ‘

     He knew it’s easier to go about things without a conflict. And if all things went smoothly, then he wouldn’t have a reason to kill the guy, just let him off as he promised a moment ago. With a bit of a smirk coming to his face, he directed the Nifs behind the other to move him along.

     Admittedly, something was a little off. Most of the people that came to infiltrate and take down any base or even the keep, well, they usually resisted to the point they HAD to kill them. And some were even lucky enough to be brainwashed and turned onto their side-- Then there was the alternative to that. Something he didn’t really want to think about right then.

erhmagawdz he’s touching my face. why is he creepily touching my face? actually why am “i” creepily touching my own face face? i love myself sometimes but not that much. …damn i look good though. sort of… i’m still confused.

Prompto knew the truth about himself. He knew during the incident where he had been taken to Zegnatus Keep. Finding out his true nature, Prompto feared for himself, but prayed his dear friends would come to save him as much as he loathed the idea of it. He feared of losing control of himself when he had found the whole truth about himself. What if he had turned into the MT he was meant to be in the first place? What if everybody knew the truth about him? But now that his friends know the truth about him, they still accepted him as a friend and a brother. Stella on the other hand however, was Prompto’s main concern, despite how much he had been hurt with knowing the truth about himself. He feared about doing any harm to her if he had lost control of himself if he had turned into an MT. He feared about doing harm to his best friends, every living being. Prompto didn’t want to turn into an MT or a daemon, and he didn’t want to know any more about himself, but the truth is literally right in front of him. His true nature, perhaps.

Right away did Prompto knew he was trembling in fear of himself to be reminded again of his true nature. He tried to look away but only to be facing his own “reflection” again. Ruby-red eyes, a smile that wasn’t an actual smile… He still looked like himself, yet was the opposite of his usual cheerful self that everybody knew.

“Y-Yeah… You’re right…” his heart beated rapidly while he spoke. Deeply inhaling and then afterwards exhaling, he continued on with his words to his MT-self. “We’re the same. You’re me and I’m you. If you’ve been defeated, then so will I be. If… If Noct, Stella and everyone didn’t come for us, we’ll just be lost and have no where else to go. I– We were ready to give up, that is true. Give up on waiting for someone to come get us, but somewhere deep inside of us…”

Prompto paused for a good moment, hesitating to speak up again. When was his negative demeaner going to go away and just stay where he belonged? Clenching his fists and looking into his other self’s eye once, he continued once more with his words. “Deep down my friends would never do anything to betray me. Noct, Gladio, and Ignis made a promise to me that if I were in any danger, they’d come for me; for us no matter the case. Stella… she kept her promise like they did too. A-At least that’s what I always believed.” In reality Stella never spoke of making any sort of promises to commit to unless it involved her older sister. “I mean she never did any harm to us, has she? No matter how much I– we got on her nerves, she never pulled any literal punches on us. Actually she always had my back as well as the other guys did. She tends to be harsh, but that’s her way of showing that she has our back. So… don’t you understand? Nobody loathes us. It’s only us that loathe ourselves.”

“Even though we’re still scared, everyone accepted us for who we are, MT or just human. Do you think nobody would really like well… me if I turned into you?” He thought he must have asked a dumb question, and knowing that this other him was indeed him, full of all the negative emotions that couldn’t bare to show, he didn’t even know what to refer to his negative nature as. Was he just an illusion? Could anybody else see his literal negative self or was it just him?

☠ ☣ ☠

     Prompto normally wouldn’t think anything of this kind of talk. However, the fact it was coming from himself-- A version of him that was still free of the empire’s control. He wasn’t sure he could listen to it another minute. With a scoff, he let his hand drop to his side, giving his double a once over before looking away from him.

     He had wanted to believe that everyone was going to come for him, simply for the purpose of finding their friend. Nowadays, with the fact he is what he is, he couldn’t help wonder if now they were keeping him like a prisoner, with a little more free reign than what one would get. And after the things he was told, he found it hard to eve trust anyone anyway.

     ‘ Scared? No, I was never scared. And it depends, you have no idea how many times I’ve had people come after me. How many fights I got into with Gladio because he can’t trust me. And, looking the way I do, I don’t blame him. Consider yourself lucky, you made it through Zegnautus Keep without becoming a monster. ‘

     He couldn’t be mad about Stella, they hardly talked much as far as he knew, until Lunafreya passed, anyway. He was more indifferent. What he was concerned most about, was Noctis. He knew Noctis still somehow managed to find the time to trust him, when he was so sure he’d be the one to trust him the least.

     ‘ You really think you want that, Noct? Because I can’t guarantee a safe night. ‘

     He couldn’t help but laugh just a little bit, he was sure by this point, the prince knew the dangers and implications of being so close to him. Surely, he had to. Prompto know that if he didn’t keep a check on himself-- There was a small chance he’d have his hands around him. And there were no promises the prince wouldn’t end up with a few scrapes or something.
