I remember I saw a prompt a few weeks ago about Gladio being afraid of needles, and I thought it was kind of silly because he is covered in this massive tattoos. However, the more I thought about it the more I wondered... what if Gladio actually was afraid of needles?
Since Gladio is supposed to the the tough character, I think he would want to face his fear of needles. He can't face certain fears like how he is a Shield, whose only purpose in life is to die for the King. He can't face his fear that Noct may not be able to handle the pressure of being King. Let him face his fears the only way he can—by standing against it, suffering through it, and surviving. (It fits his character, after all. In Chapter Seven he goes and disappears because he needs to pull himself together to be strong enough for them all.)
If you want to make it gen, that's fine. If not, I'd prefer Gladio/Prompto. Prompto's got a tattoo, too...
