[Gladio stretched out his arm and hooked it around Prompto's shoulders, tugging him against his side in a one-armed hug.
No, he didn't believe that MTs could have existed. None of it should have happened. But it had all culminated in the making of Prompto and that was an amazing thing. And who knew? Maybe, if given the chance, there could be more like him?]
As I see it... you were born for a reason, Prom. There was no mistake. You were meant to be born. Just like Noct is the Chosen King, just like I'm his Shield and Ignis his advisor. We all have our parts to play, we were all born just when we were needed. How you came to be... sucks. It does. But it's not who you are, you get me? You're Prompto. You're our Prompto. Nothin will change that.
[Prompto goes easily into the hug, even twisting a bit to return it.
It's good, at least, that they agree about the MTs, even if he's iffy on "meant to be" part. Though it is pretty remarkable that he - created in a lab in enemy territory miles and miles away - just happened to be the one kid stolen away, by Cor no less. And then, even after being sent off and adopted by regular citizens, still wound up in Noct's orbit.
So maybe fate had something to do with it. He could get behind that.
He huffs a small laugh.]
Okay, okay. I get it. We're all are meant to be, and you all would be lost without me.

But you should.

[Gladio chuckled and moved his arm so he could ruffle Prompto's hair and grinned. His hand dropped back down onto his shoulder and rest there easily.]
So lost.
