Chapter 32: The Devil to Pay: Lady Parts

“Oh yeah, and she’s an alien too, right? Does she even have . . . you know, lady parts?” Prompto asked, his mouth twisting doubtfully. He made some kinda gesture with two fingers in the air that Noct didn’t even want to know what it was supposed to refer to.

Gladio didn’t give Ignis a chance to respond—not that he was gonna do much besides lift his chin a little higher, and maybe clench his jaw a little.

“Well, she must’ve had some kinda lady parts as much as she was calling out his name last night. Shut the windows next time, Ig. There’s tip number one for ya.”

“Ha ha! Name ‘Ignis’ is probably gonna be the most famed in Lestallum among the lay-deez now,” Prompto guffawed, bobbing his head in agreement.

“Better start usin’ an alias while you’re here, otherwise you’re gonna be beatin’ ‘em back with a stick.”

It was a particularly evil thing to say because even though the three of them hadn’t heard a sound after Gladio had shooed them from the kitchen, the windows probably had been open last night as they always were, and judging by the red shooting down Specs’s neck, Laura probably had called out his name.

Gross.

Chapter 32: The Devil to Pay: Mrs. Sypert

“Delivery for you, Mrs. Sypert,” Prompto announced, turning to show her one of the bags of groceries he was holding.

She opened the door wider to reveal her blindingly bright green and yellow housedress, complete with chocobo-print socks pulled halfway up her shins. A nasty looking bull terrier poked its head out from beneath the fabric to lift its lip menacingly at them, but she raised a scarlet-slippered foot to shove it back inside.

My thanks to aleksiszet for porting the bull terrier.

A sudden hammering coming from the door behind him made him step back and drop her. His instincts still on high alert from the phoenix down, he summoned his daggers to his hands, prepared to defend her from the unexpected threat by any means necessary. 

Easy, Laura said, placing a hand on his arm and stilling him. 

“Hey!” Gladio yelled from behind the door. “Hot as this sounds, you mind fucking in the other room? You’re scaring the kids!” 

There were no words to describe the completeness of his mortification. Dismissing his daggers, he stood there gaping at the door, wondering how he could possibly even begin to formulate a response.

Born to Dance in the Dark 

For anyone seeing this without context, I don’t like to characterize Ignis as particularly volatile, but he’s under the influence of a phoenix down right now and is particularly jumpy. While not a canon side effect of phoenix down, the fire in his eyes is meant to be the last symptom to fade.

Chapter 30: The Dawn Breaks: Falling

He leaned her against the wall and indicated wordlessly that she should tighten her hold around his waist so he could free his hands to touch her—first gripping her wrists on either side of his head and running his palms down her arms, into her hair, then moving to her neck, across her shoulders, and down to her waist. Not having been given explicit permission for free access to her body, he kept his hands on the less provocative regions, but the spear of arousal that shot first through her and then through him told him that his objective had been achieved nevertheless.

With a gasp, she ripped her mouth from his and threw her head back against the wall. “Oh god, Ignis, anywhere. You can touch me anywhere you like.”

Chapter 30: The Dawn Breaks

“So uh . . . the fire thing’s startin’ to look kinda creepy now we’re . . . y’know, back here . . . and alone.”

“It’ll wear off, given time.”

With any luck, sooner rather than later. He felt as though he were about to burst from his own skin.

Prompto looked over at him, a troubled frown crumpling his expression. “I thought you were snake food,” he near whispered. “I’m glad you’re not.”

He gave Prompto a small, affectionate smile, grateful for the sentiment from the man who was so different from him that Ignis often found him even more alien than Laura. But there was clearly much they didn’t understand about one another. Ignis had easily recognized that cloak of loneliness he always wore about him, but he’d been sorely mistaken when he believed that Prompto didn’t have the grit to continue on this mission after the Fall. Yet for all their differences that would often irritate the life out of him, Ignis had done his best to engage him in the same playful, antagonistic sort of friendliness Prompto displayed with the others. He hadn’t been certain his somewhat more acerbic style of sarcasm had succeeded until this moment.

“As am I. I can’t imagine you making it far on your own.”

Chapter 29: Breach of Trust

When Ignis had told him the other day that he’d always be there, Noct had still believed it was out of a sense of duty, but this was too much to sacrifice on his behalf for a job. Ignis had been his brother, and in his final moments of life, he’d finally returned the sentiment.

But Specs had gone and broken his promise; he’d gone and left him.

He was gone.

“Laura, above you!” Gladio’s shout knocked through the thoughts that had stolen the breath from him more effectively than any blow he’d taken in battle.

Chapter 28: Trust

Noct sighed. “I always knew my dad wasn’t gonna be there forever, but I thought he’d be there for part of it at least. I need more time, Specs. I’m not ready. I still don’t know what it is we’re doing, really, let alone how we’re gonna get the Crystal from the Nifs. I just feel . . . I dunno. Lost.” —Chapter 28: TrustBorn to Dance in the Dark

Chapter 27: El Pasodoble: First Kiss

The man who turned his head and devoured her mouth wasn’t the same one she’d just kissed. This man was Ignis Scientia—a man who may or may not have kissed a woman before, but knew what the hell he was doing regardless, at least had thoroughly done his homework. He walked her back against the wall, cradling her head as he parted her lips with his curry and whiskey-laced tongue, seeking out hers with dexterity and passion to perform a dance of his own.

She grasped desperately at his head with both hands, pulling him closer—Ignis, please, come closer—and he must have felt the same because he used the length of his entire body to press her up against the stone as his mouth continued to move over hers. The jubilation and triumph thundering through him seemed to roll up her fingers and into her brain, and oh bloody hell, she wanted to reach out, fall into that dazzling mind, and lose herself in his joy—to dive into him and be held inside that gentle, kind, brave, fierce, curious, and so very selfless heart of his. Little did this universe know she was holding all the best of humanity distilled into this one, unassuming mortal being between her hands, so very close to the touch of her mind.
