[A chuckle.]

You're talking to me about intimidating and unfair arms?

[clickclickbang]

[???

He can't even hide his bafflement.]

Yeah? Dude, Gladio may have arms of stone but you can totally break me with yours and I would thank you.

[quickrecipeh]

Is that so?

[Honestly he is trying not to laugh. He's so amused.]

I rather like yours. Not that I compare us, of course.

[clickclickbang]

....Iggy, my arms are sticks. There's nothing to like there!

[quickrecipeh]

Mm. Perhaps I could break you, then.

[SARCASM.]

[clickclickbang]

And I'd thank you!

[He's such a loser.]

[quickrecipeh]

[Trying not to laugh, he walks his fingers slowly up Prompto's arm...]

[clickclickbang]

[Prompto's given up trying not to laugh, watching Ignis's shenanigans and cracking the hell up.]

[quickrecipeh]

[It's contagious. Ignis cracks up, too, his fingers resting against Prompto's bicep, his other hand ruffling the younger man's hair slightly.]

Where's my "thank you"?

[clickclickbang]

Still unbroken!

[quickrecipeh]

And I could never.

[He wraps his arms a little more comfortably around Prompto and smiles, his shoulders still shaking.]

You'll never have to thank me!

[clickclickbang]

At least until the next time you make me dinner.

[quickrecipeh]

That's an acceptable time to thank me, yes. I'm truly glad you appreciate my cooking, you know.

[clickclickbang]

Cooking is an art, and you are seriously a master artist Iggy. I'd be stupid not to appreciate you.

[quickrecipeh]

I maintain that I'm only passionate about it because of you.

[clickclickbang]

Not Noct?

[Really?]

[quickrecipeh]

Honestly, have you ever seen him get excited about anything that isn't video games?

[clickclickbang]

...fishing and cats probably don't count, do they?

[quickrecipeh]

Fishing counts, I suppose. Cats are a given.

[Fishing is more of a subdued excitement. Cats are just a Lucian royal thing. But honestly if he got excited about Ignis' cooking after all these years, Ignis would be shocked.]

It's not as though it bothers me. It was simply... nice to feel like my cooking truly mattered to someone. I doubled my efforts.

[clickclickbang]

[Note to self: talk to Noct about appreciating Ignis more while they're here. Maybe do a thing on Mother's Day for him or something, he doesn't know.]

Well, it seriously mattered to me. It was nice to not have to fend for myself all the time.

[quickrecipeh]

[He's relatively sure Noct appreciates him... the man just isn't demonstrative most of the time. He imagines the Bond ceremony used up all of Noct's ability to do so for the foreseeable future.]

I thought you were going to injure yourself in your enthusiasm.

[It's hard to forget the first time he cooked with Prompto as a guest.]

You can request my cooking any time.

[clickclickbang]

I mean, I remember that stomachache. Does that count?

[He chuckles.]

You gotta let me try cooking for you too, though. It's only fair!

[quickrecipeh]

I'd like that. I'm not a culinary snob, at any rate. I'm learning to let go a little.

[clickclickbang]

Aren't you the one who judged Coctura's cooking with a Face?

[quickrecipeh]

That was then, this is now. I'm growing more adventurous by the day.

I'll be happy to critique, if you so desire.
