You say troublesome, I say exciting.

[And Prompto will let him, smiling at his own jokes.

And pray that Ignis doesn't realize that weird "thump thump" is in fact Prompto's tail. Why did he have to grow that in this month!?]

[quickrecipeh]

I do agree with that, especially these days.

[He notices it, it's right there wiggling around under the blanket. But he's not really focused on it beyond registering that it's a sign of happiness. He's looking into Prompto's eyes carefully.

A pause, a thought, and he takes his glasses off, setting them aside before he returns his attention to Prompto.

Since when was he afraid to step forward and take what he wants? Oh, right. Since forever. Ignis is a nurturer, not this kind of bold. He eases things along, rather than just bluntly expressing a need or desire. In things like this, anyway. Maybe that's why he's never honestly dated anyone. He doesn't want to cheapen their friendship by doing something stupid...

Ah, he's staring at Prompto's lips while he ponders. Oops.]

[clickclickbang]

Yeah?

[He feels like there should be something more to say here but it's lost on him when Ignis takes his glasses off and Prompto can't stop the gasp that slips out. Ignis is so damn pretty with his glasses off, it's not fair.

If Ignis is lost staring at Prompto's lips, Prompto's lost just. Taking in Ignis's everything. Wish his camera worked here...]

[quickrecipeh]

[Right. They're both staring. Productive!]

May I try something?

[clickclickbang]

Totally.

[They're so good at this]

[quickrecipeh]

[He slides his hand under the blanket and pulls Prompto's knees up carefully, so his legs are closer, but still comfortable. It gives Ignis access to his changed legs again, and he mutters something softly, bringing the warmth back to his hand. As earlier, he runs the warm hand along Prompto's aching muscles and bones, gentle and cautious. But this time he also leans in and, pushing every comforting thought he can think into the Bond, presses his lips to the corner of Prompto's mouth.

It's brief, fleeting, but his hand keeps working even as his lips are backed away.]

How's this?

[clickclickbang]

[Prompto melts under that warmth and the comforting thoughts and smiles at the kiss.]

Perfect, Iggy. Keep doin' that.

[quickrecipeh]

Which part?

[Maybe he has learned how to sort of flirt maybe a little he's trying help him. Still, his hand slowly moves up and down Prompto's legs, each in turn, then back to the other, thoroughly paying attention to every inch.]

[clickclickbang]

Every part?

[Yes including the kiss.]

[quickrecipeh]

[Right.

Cool.

He can do this.

With his free hand, he moves Prompto's shoulders so he can lean forward ever so slightly further... And when he leans in to kiss him again, this time it's squarely on the lips.

That ought to send something rather warm and comfortable through the Bond. Noct may even feel it if he's awake.]

[clickclickbang]

[Warm and comfortable times two, since Prompto's feeling the same. Or maybe Ignis is just influencing him and overriding the anxiety. Prompto isn't sure and Prompto doesn't care.

He just smiles when they break apart.]

Your lips are way too soft. Not fair.

[quickrecipeh]

Perhaps it's lack of use.

[It was nice. And the closeness remains nice. It was only a gentle chaste kiss, an expression and a test at once, but Ignis hopes he got some point or another across.]

Are you certain that was fine?

[clickclickbang]

Totally fine, Iggy.

[He smiles and rests his head on Ignis's shoulder.]

The only reason I'm not freaking out is I'm comfy and you're warm and I'm not moving for anything short of an emergency.

[But wow is his tail going nuts.]

[quickrecipeh]

I'd be a little put out if you panicked over some basic affection.

[He realizes how strange that sounds, coming from him, and laughs slightly. Fingers lightly stroke Prompto's cheek.]

If this place has done nothing else, it's made me bold.

[clickclickbang]

You were always kind of a rock, so it's about time you were a little bolder.

[Praise him for that pun.]

[quickrecipeh]

[He is shoving you away a bit now Prompto. By the face.]

That one wasn't even that good.

[clickclickbang]

[He laughs and just lets Ignis shove a little]

Shut up, it was great!

[quickrecipeh]

Your standards have fallen, and I'm disappointed in you. As a friend.

[But he's stifling a laugh because, dammit, that was funny even if it was lame.]

[clickclickbang]

Dude, how could it ever get worse than my adamantoise puns?

[quickrecipeh]

We don't speak of those.

[Gravely shaking his head. But also finally cracking up a bit.]

Honestly... I missed things like this. We've been scattered since we arrived.

[clickclickbang]

Yeah? I was trying to give you and Noct space so Noct could, y'know, adjust to it all and you'd be around to help him.

[quickrecipeh]

Perhaps I've just become accustomed to doing things as a group, but it has seemed... rather lonely.

[clickclickbang]

Yeah...I guess I got a little used to it, but now that you mention it...

[quickrecipeh]

While I value my private time, I'd rather spend a few more waking hours with the two of you.

[He hums thoughtfully.]

I do wonder if I shouldn't be simply blaming the Bond for that.

[clickclickbang]

Nah, I was feeling that way before the Bond. Honestly, we just need to figure out if we wanna room together again.
