[Prompto was lucky in Ignis mind. He had the freedom to just be Noctis' friend instead of trying to find the balance between doing a duty for 'the prince' and still being just 'his friend.' It was easier when Ignis was young to do that, but the more he took on and the more he understood, that balance slipped away. He doesn't think Gladio had quite the same issue; his difficulty had come in accepting Noctis as worth sacrificing his life for when their prince was struggling so hard just to make it from one day to the next.

Unlike them, Prompto had just been able to look at Noctis and see the normal boy King Regis had sacrificed so much to allow his son time to be.]

Relax, Prompto. No matter what world Noct comes from, he will always respect you and your wishes. He would never push feelings upon you he thought you didn't want or weren't ready for.
