what would the chocobros do/how would they react to finding out that their really cheerful and kindhearted s/o actually had clinical depression?

Hi Anon, thanks for the ask! If you search “depression” on my blog, you can see posts where the Chocobros comfort a depressed S/O, but here I’m writing about them discovering the diagnosis. 🙂

Noctis tends to digest heavy information later, so he doesn’t react too much at first, simply asks his S/O if they need anything. He probably processes it a week later and calls them/wakes them up in the middle of the night in a panic. 

Prompto has a lot of questions–are they going to therapy? On medication? Do they pinky-promise to tell him if they’re feeling suicidal? If they take medication, he becomes a champion dosage reminder.

Gladio is glad he has a name for what they’re fighting–and to him, it is a fight. They’re fighting against it every day. Helps his S/O with breathing exercises and gives “kick its ass” pep talks a lot. 

Ignis is probably who suggested they go to therapy to begin with and isn’t surprised at the diagnosis. Open to trying all kinds of things to help his S/O cope with their depression. Refuses to let them skip more than one meal. 

Something you want to see? Asks are open!
