Do you think Ignis gives Gladio sexy glares or looks just to throw him off guard? What kind of stuff do you think he'd do to tease (pics or gifs can be used :).)
Hahahaha, he absolutely does!
Thinking about Ignis’ attitude, he’d do it subtly and only when Gladio’s looking. He wouldn’t do anything to distract Gladio mid battle, but he sure would enjoy doing it at unexpected, random moments when walking around, at camp, and even in the Regalia via the rearview mirror.
Ah, because what Ignis likes to do best is to give glances and stares. Physically, there’d be very little he’d do to tease Gladio. He knows his man enjoys of physical contact, both in intimacy and when not (the brush of a hand, the touch of a fingertip on his face, not just private spaces and parts). So Ignis has learned that there’s nothing better to tease Gladio than touch him without touching him.
That’s why he enjoys so much of glancing and/or smirking or other details from a certain distance that don’t involve touching anything, not even a single inch of anything. Because he knows Gladio would like that. And no way is Ignis giving it to him as easily.
Teasing smirks, sensual glances, checking him out on purpose while Gladio’s looking, stare intensely at his lips, let the eyes wander off to Gladio’s chest during dinner across the table while he knows Gladio’s completely aware of that.
A bit ironic for us, but Ignis’ favorite, most used and most effective weapon is his eyes and expression, and the way he uses them to his favor.
And he knows how to use them.
It’s when you last expect it. Ignis will be giving Gladio the looks just for the pleasure of startling him and make him go all awkward around others.
Because, you should know, Ignis enjoys giving Gladio the stares or the looks or the smirks when nobody else is seeing. Adding that to the fact that it’s when Gladio’s last expecting a teasing stare, it turns out in Gladio being taken completely off guard, and, hence, start acting a bit goofy around others. He goes awkward and, if he’s speaking, there’s either stutters or nonsense speaking (the sort of being asked what his name is and him answering Yes).
Ignis enjoys doing that to him, because Gladio gets super nervous and awkward, and he knows that Gladio feels a bit silly when he acts like that in front of others. Sometimes, Gladio tries to expose him, tries to explain to the others that he’s not goofy, it’s just that “Ignis looked at me like…”, tries to explain Ignis is cheekily scanning him with “horny eyes”, tries to explain Ignis “is checking me out with this look that…”…
But nobody’s ever caught Ignis doing such a thing. And the man, of course, denies it. Says that’s silly, says that’s not his style, says that’d be vulgar and he wouldn’t do it. Only for the pleasure of seeing Gladio as childishly upset because no one believes him. And as soon as the attention goes over to Gladio again, while the others turn to tell him “See, Specs wouldn’t do that bla bla bla”, Ignis is returing to his intense staring.
He’s doing it on purpose.
Every time that he does it, Gladio knows it’s on purpose. In front of others, or in public spaces, or when he’s doing something and Ignis does that…it’s always on purpose.
Sometimes, he knows by now, Ignis likes to do it just for the sake of messing with him, to be childish and playful. It’s happened a few times that Gladio’s setting the tent up, and he looks up to ask for something. Out of the blue, Ignis will give him one of those looks as illustrated above, with no other reason than just doing that. A few of those times, Gladio has flinched or has dropped what he has in hands and ends up messing up with the tent. There was once when Ignis had given him such an intense and unexpected stare that Gladio, somehow, ended up tangled in the strings and cloth of the tent.
Sometimes, however, and most of the times I’d dare say, Ignis does it for both the pleasure of messing with him, and because he’s in the mood. Unlike Gladio, he’s not the most explicit or physically affectonate, but his feelings are honest. And sometimes he’s in a romantic mood, sometimes accompanied by the normal horny feel of spontaneous moments of life, and his staring is partly unconscious. He’s aware he’s doing it, but sometimes he’s olivious to just how intense he’s staring at Gladio.
He desires him, and loves him. So staring is just natural. Except he, sometimes, likes to use his current state of mind to tease him, because it’s in those moments when his stare and feelings are in full blossom, hence the most powerful on their effects on Gladio.
Even though most of the times it’s just staring, cheekily but secretly cheking him out from head to toe, or smirking, very, very few times Ignis adds a little cherry on top of the cake; a little detail, like the bite of a lip, the shudder of arms, a small exhale, the shrinking of his chest as if breathless, the pull of his collar as if feeling heat, the casual rub of a hand against his own orso or nearby the thigh, or a wink.
And, of course, it’s still when Gladio’s last expecting it and when nobody else is seeing.
There’s Gladio, putting the tent and stuff in the Regalia’s trunk, closing it and turning around claiming to be done, while Ignis walks past him to go towards the driver’s seat,
Gladio’s startled, taken off guard, and suddenly pressing so hard on the Reagalia he accidentally activates its alarm.
Because no way is Gladio going to be calm for about half an hour, but Ignis won’t look at him again or say anything, like it did not happen, and Gladio can’t bring the conversation up because the others don’t believe him and they’re ready to go out in the road and it’s not the time.
Now you know, Ignis likes to stare a lot.
But he’s also aware Gladio likes to stare as well. Just differently.
While Ignis does it on purpose to tease him, Gladio’s normally staring at him because he can’t help it. Gladio likes Ignis, and Ignis knows it. The Shield likes to watch the other simply because he finds him to be gorgeous and good-looking.
Sometimes, Ignis will be even more subtle while at the same time being more cheeky.
How does he get that, you ask?
He won’t give one of those smirks or intense stares at Gladio. He’s going to offer some visual show for him. He’s going to do something that he knows Gladio will like, pretending to not notice, or pretending he’s not doing this on purpose.
Sometimes he’s going to whip his hair once when combing it in the morning, if he knows Gladio’s watching. Sometimes, he’s going to stretch in front of him, because he knows Gladio’s watching the way his muscles press against his shirt when he does. Sometimes, he’s going to take his glassess off to “clean them”, but really it’s just because that way he gets to stare up at Gladio and find him looking. Sometimes, when at camp, Ignis is going to start undressing when he knows Gladio’s watching but it’s usually just the shirt. After that, he’ll disappear into the tent and leave the rest to Gladio’s imagination.
It’s everyday things, tiny details that are so common and natural, nobody questions Ignis for doing that sort of stuff, not noticing he’s doing that just to tease Gladio.
Like the once when they were at the hotel, everyone was doing their stuff,
and Gladio turned to look at Ignis,
“What are you- IGNIS. STOP THAT. SEE, HE’S DOING THAT ON PURPOSE.”
“Ugh. Gladio, that’s just him undressing. It’s bedtime, you know. Gotta change clothes.”
“RIGHT, but he only started undressing when I turned. Coincidence? I think NOT.”
“Geez, calm down. Ignis wasn’t even looking your way.”
“Prompto’s right. It would be innapropiate of me to do such a thing on purpose, Gladiolus. Please, control yourself.”
“Are you guys fucking blind? Look at the way he’s unbuttoning that. Ignis…Ignis stop that. You’re just- you just want to mess with me, you little jerk.”
“Geez, Gladio, it’s just you and your hormones. Keep it cool, Specs’s just undressing.”
“Not all I do is for your visual pleasure, Gladio” says the man as he slowly takes the shirt off, glancing up at Gladio and giving him one of those smiles because the other two are not looking, and he’s definitely offering that as a visual show for Gladio.
This is definitely unfair.
A stare, a smirk, or both, or cheking him out, give him a tiny visual show, that’s the sort of things that Ignis does to tease Gladio, always making sure it’s when the man less expects it, only for the childish pleasure of seeing him taken off-guard, not knowing what to do or where to look at, sometimes flinch or become a stuttering mess, and end up looking silly in front of others.
“You, teasing jerk, I hate you, Iggy. It’s cruel. It’s all on purpose, isn’t it?”
