[Prompt: Stolen from the TDM #10]

Monkey Madness!

It's a strange mission to be sure but the Voidtreckers have been called to help a huge zoo tackle a problem. Every monkey enclosure has been broken open and the creatures have gotten out and into the city, where they are causing mayhem.

Team Two

Round up the monkeys! The aim is to do this without harming and luckily they have some capture devices, that can be thrown to spring straps around a creature. Bribing them is also encouraged. The city has prepared vans for the creatures to be lured or taken to. Careful though, these monkeys are cunning and mischievous and clever enough to steal the capture devices and throw them back at the Voidtreckers! Who is catching who?

They were two goofy boys staring and blushing at each other right up until Inigo said that.

Like someone taking a sewing needle to a balloon, the tension burst and Prompto started to laugh. His whole body shook as he cracked up and eventually, he fell over onto his side (well Inigo's side) clutching his belly. "In- Inigo.. oh my god.. haha! 'Just be gentle' haha!" Best thing he'd ever heard!

[flatteries]

Okay. So maybe this may not be the worst situation of his life - he's gone through much, much worse, after all - but it sure is heading up real quickly to claim the top spot as most embarrassing. And now he isn't even being freed anymore since apparently Prompto is too busy cracking up!

"I-- Wa-- Why are you laughing?!"

He's starting to wiggle as he says it, like he's flustered enough to want to physically freak out about it, but it's kind of hard while he's stuck like this. So now he just looks like he's doing the worm instead.

"Stop, it's not funny!" At least he doesn't seem actually upset. Just flustered. And being a huge drama queen.

[bethereprompto]

It took a few tries but eventually Prompto was able to sit up and quiet down. "Dude, you're too fun! Okay okay, here, let's.. " Snicker. No, he had to stop thinking about that remark or they'd never get Inigo out of his tangled mess.

It was a struggle but eventually, Prompto was able to get one side of it opened enough that Inigo could slip out of it. He got his arms caught in it for another couple minutes, but finally he flopped right back on the ground in an exaggerated exhaustion. "Okay, I vote the monkeys can just stay here and take over the world."

[flatteries]

Dear, sweet freedom. Those couple of minutes feel like they last an eternity, and the moment Inigo is able to slip out of it, he immediately does so, stretching out his arms above his head. He never thought he'd be able to move those ever again! He never realised how nice it is to just be able to move, geez..

Although the whole struggle with the device took a lot of energy out of him as well, so he doesn't exactly get up and start running or anything. Instead Inigo just sits down on the ground next to where Prompto flopped down, starting to stretch his legs now by touching his toes. (He's pretty flexible, so he's able to do it easily, even as he turns his head to look at Prompto instead.)

"Surely some of the others caught them already.."

Or so he tells himself. Because he really doesn't want to run around and risk getting trapped again after this mess.

"Let's just stay here for a bit. And then later you can carry me back as an excuse for your terrible mishap." Is he serious about that? Is he joking? It's hard to tell with his kind of tone.

[bethereprompto]

Prompto turns his head and watches as Inigo stretches. Hmm, he needed the guy to do that a few more times. It was impressive how far he could stretch too.

He sat up and laughed. "Yeah, let someone else do it. Hey would you like any help stretching out? You're pretty good at that!"

His eyes widened at the thought of having to carry Inigo. "Only if you want to be dragged instead of carried."

[flatteries]

"Seriously? You won't even do that much for me?"

Inigo is trying really hard to make puppy eyes at Prompto over here, but it's not exactly his speciality. In fact, he's much better at making sad puppy eyes when he doesn't mean to. Right now he just looks kind of ridiculous as he tries.

It's followed up by a loud dramatic sigh as his expression turns back to normal.

"Fine, fine. Then at least help me stretch a little. I guess I'll be gracious and accept that as my repayment."

[bethereprompto]

Prompto flushed at that reaction. "N- no! I mean, yes. I'll do it! I promise! I'm sorry.." Please stop looking at him like that. It might look ridiculous but it was so stinkin' cute he just couldn't handle it. Prompto was going to carry Inigo to the end of the earth if he kept that up! Someone have some mercy on the poor guy's back!

He sat down across from Inigo and offered his hands. This was how he did it with Noct that one time.. okay, so he didn't really know what he was doing. It just looked hot when Inigo was doing it. When Inigo took his hands, he did what he thought made sense and pulled!

[flatteries]

That may just be the quickest Inigo has gotten anyone to give in to him.. Or maybe even the only time he's ever gotten anyone to give in to him period! He gives Prompto a slightly surprised look for it, even, since he genuinely didn't expect the other to promise regardless.

He's quickly distracted though by Prompto suddenly pulling like that though, causing Inigo to let out a half-choked noise as he winces. Okay, that's maybe too intense of a stretch there!

"Oh, wait-- not like that!" He quickly puts his hands back on top of the other's to keep him from stretching him like a piece of candy. "You have to be a bit more gentle! Here, you sit down, I'll demonstrate by helping you stretch first."

[bethereprompto]

Prompto's cheeks flushed when he realized halfway through his motion that Inigo didn't put up nearly the resistance Gladio did- whoops!

"Sorry!" He obediently sat down and watched curiously as Inigo showed him how he was supposed to do this. It made way more sense now that he was thinking about it versus just doing what he was used to with a large, burly man. "The guy I usually help stretch is uh.. you know, way bigger than me. I should've known better than to do that with you." Pause. Panic. "I didn't mean you were small o- or like too small or anything like that! That's not.. crap, you're just a different body type- not that I'm like.. staring at your um.. wow, that's not what I meant either I just.. let me borrow that.." He took Inigo's hand and put it over his own mouth in a playful gesture, like he was making Inigo shut him up. He mumbled 'better' against Inigo's palm.

[flatteries]

Inigo should be used to seeing this kind of panic. This very specific dumb rambly kind of panic, since it's a near-exact mirror of the same thing he himself does when he gets flustered. And yet it seems harder to recognize in another person, since he stares with a half-dumbfounded expression as Prompto just goes on and on.

(Wait, did he just talk about his--)

It's a good thing Prompto just moves straight on, and then suddenly Inigo's hand is on Prompto's face before he knows it. And while that earns a momentary confused expression at all, at least it melts very quickly into a fond smile.

Sure, Prompto is weird, but not a bad kind of weird. He's nice and funny. (Kind of handsome, too.)

He slightly laughs. "You sure you don't want to instead borrow a hand from some bigger guy?" It's mostly just a teasing dig at Prompto, but don't think there aren't layers underneath it of insecurity that Inigo always has at the knowledge he isn't some big muscly hunky guy.
