On the Way Back to the Dorms; Wednesday Evening [08/14].
This week had, for the most part, been pretty stinkin' great, really. Prompto had been having a blast, and he knew everyone else was, too...for the most part. He knew there'd been some trouble with some other people, but that wasn't bothering him much because, so far, all of his friends and everyone he'd run into seemed to be doing what toys like them did best: having fun and overflowing with the happiness that came with being just great toys on a great island. And tonight should have been no exception. Tonight should have been amazing, with the Wednesday activity, the party, the hugging booths, all of it! Perfect recipe for cheer and good fun.
But something was...wrong. Really, really, really wrong, and he almost wished he hadn't noticed it, but once he did, he just...couldn't shake it. And the fact that the really, really, really wrong thing was coming from Nina...only made it a bajillion times worse.
He knew Nina extremely well; they'd been through so much together! And because of that, because of all the times he'd witnessed it first hand, he could tell when she was faking being happy. He was pretty sure most people couldn't; she was really good, but not good enough to hide all the signs from someone who not only witnessed her faking it before, but who had also faked it enough times himself. Not lately, of course. Not this week, but before...
...what even was before? It didn't matter. What did matter was that he was worried about Nina, he hated what he started to think about her, but he had to make sure. He had to see if it was all in his head or if she really, truly, honestly might be...
He felt bad even thinking it!
...a Bad Toy.
He had to make sure, though! He had to get her alone, where she might drop the facade and then he could know for sure. Easy enough! He'd just offer to walk her home, be a Gentleman about it, grinning broadly and sweeping into a playful, knightly sort of bow and offer up his arm so that the lady doth not worry about the long journey home all by her lonesome. He knew she'd eat that right up and it was fun, besides, the way they always played and pretended. She'd be totally tickled, and then it was all just a matter of trying to figure it out for sure.
Because he wasn't about to turn in his best friend if he wasn't sure.
And once he was sure, well...
"Man," he gushed as they started heading back, beaming brightly at Nina, "that was some party, huh?"
[[ for Pink Diamonds only! Well, okay, if anyone else wants to run into him after the Nina thread, I'd be so for it, but mostly for Pink Diamonds, la~ ]]
