If Prompto looks closely, he might be able to see it: the shift of some facial muscles, the adjustment of his posture, the faltering of his breathing patterns. He's hitting on something that Akira struggles a lot with just the thought of.
Opening up a bit to someone who barely knows him - somehow that hadn't been quite so difficult. Perhaps it was the combination of Prompto reminding him of someone from home and Prompto not being someone he's super close to, and therefore doesn't have memories of past Akira to compare to current Akira.
But opening up to the people who saw him at his strongest, and knew him as someone who could never break, never give up, never back down? Knowing that he's going to give up his life for their world? Knowing that he did break, he did give up, he did back down for even just a moment...
That and... Well, just the idea of them looking at him with some kind of pity and worry and fear and--... ]
Guess there's only one way to know for sure... [ a heavy sigh; just so they're clear: ] Yeah... I plan to.
