“Yeah?” The younger male asked with a cheeky grin, reaching for another one of the bars, quickly finishing it off. He wasn’t about to miss out on the opportunity to stuff himself with one of his favourite desserts. It wasn’t every day Ignis made such an offer, after all. Besides, Ignis liked it when Noctis enjoyed his cooking. He might not say it out loud, but Noct saw how his expression would lighten.

He thought for a moment, trying to decide what to watch before shaking his head.

“I always choose,” he said softly before handing Ignis the remote. “You choose tonight. Anything you want.”

Ignis always sat through what Noctis wanted to watch even if he had no interest so it was only fair he returned the favour. Besides, he wanted Ignis to enjoy himself too, even if that meant sitting through he wouldn’t necessarily choose himself.

To say that it delighted Ignis would be an incredible understatement. Even when the other gives critique on his prepared meals he’s thrilled enough that Noctis would try it again. 

“You always choose because the last time I selected you laughed!” Iggy takes the remote, regardless, he’s sure he can find something they both can enjoy; after all, there had been a release of a movie in a mutual franchise they did partake in together. 

It takes a moment of searching to find it; a directors cut fed to Nocts files and displayed on his tv. “Surround sound, I take it?” The older of the two grins, one arm around Noct and the other supporting the mug rested on his other knee. 

“I’d say ‘I wouldn’t be angry if you fell asleep on me’, but I almost doubt you’ll fall asleep through this movie~” Ignis smiles, gently bumping their foreheads together.  “It’s too bad Gladio is too busy- we’re just going to simply have to refrain from spoiling it for him and perhaps even watching it a second time so he can join us!” Basking, Ignis idly kneads at Nocts shoulder where his hand rests.

“Damn right I am,” Noctis grinned, playfully shoving Ignis away once the kiss was pressed to his head. Ignis was lucky Noct liked him so much – not just anyone could get away with coercing him into eating his vegetables after all. The incentive of Ignis’s cooking, especially his desserts was a damn good one.

“Nah. I don’t have any plans,” he told him, though even if he had, he would have cancelled them or rearranged them. Spending the night watching movies with Ignis…well, he thought that was a pretty good way to spend it. He pushed himself up from his seat at the table to pick up the tray with the lemon bars and tea. He took it over to the couch, and set it down on the coffee table before making himself comfortable on the couch. “What d’you wanna watch?”

He laughs as he’s pushed away after the kiss, finishing up before he follows Noct to the couch with hot coco topped with whip and fresh ground cinnamon. 

“Brilliant- I’m so happy, I might be so inclined to pay too much attention to the movie when you had been taking more than the dietary recommendation of the bars tonight.” Ignis hints, it’s not often he allows them to stray while he’s watching (they do enough of that, he’s sure, when they’re out of his sight). 

“What to watch, what to watch~” He’s in thought for a moment before he takes a lick of the whip cream. “.... I suppose I could tolerate one of those horror movies you like so much? Or something different tonight?”

Late blossoms

[Closed Opener @aegisregalis​]

It had been a busy year to say the very least; Gladiolus busy with his sister, helping her in her exams and entries atop of his own. While it meant for a short stint away from Gladio and packing his lunches, it also meant extra work needed to be put into Noctis and motivating him to move and do his work again. 

Getting himself ready to slide back into the year was easy with Gladio as his partner; there was little to no fuss and being at one another side for the morning run helped a lot. This was their third solid week meeting in the morning; Gladio jogged to Iggys’ home from his which gives him time to warm up with stretches and yoga. 

It’s the perfect start in the crisp of dawn before they would get to the citadel just as the sun would crest over the horizon, turning the skies orange and pinks, setting the dew on the world glittering as they toweled down for a heavy spar in the sparring grounds.  Shaking a large bottle for two, he pours them both a hearty breakfast shake. It’s a swirl of pinks and white and thickened with chia powders.  “Bottoms up before this round.” he announces to the other. “We get the blueberry lemon iced tea for cool down.” 

Ignis holds out the cup to him and swallows his own; it’s not what his tongue is hoping for- the can of Ebony is still strapped together in a pack of four in his office. For now, this will have to do especially so early in the morning and with Gladio to set a, hopefully, better example for him.

“You love me really,” the teen teased with a grin. There were few people he felt he could truly be himself around, but Ignis was one of them. He was his best friend – his first friend and that produced a bond that couldn’t be replicated. Ignis did so much for him that he was more grateful than the older male could ever know, even if he didn’t always show it. Ignis was also the only person who could get him to eat vegetables. He was as skilled as the best professional chefs and managed to mask the taste with other flavours.

“Yeah. That sounds good. Something to look forward to anyway.” They would both be much more at ease with school out of the way so that would be perfect, especially since he didn’t want to distract Ignis too much in the days leading up to his exams. “Seems Gladio’s always training. I guess he takes his role seriously. I remember when he was adamant he’d never protect a ‘punk’ like me.

That was a long time ago and while Gladio still called him a punk, it was said so endearingly.

“You just want to make sure I eat all my veggies,” he complained, but cleaned his plate all the same. He wanted dessert.

“Oh dear~ He’s on to me!” he teases, laughing as he begins to clear their finished plates. Leaning over he kisses his head and hums. “Let me fetch the lavender lemon bars.” he smiles and winks. 

“Oh I know you eat all your veggies; if you didn’t I wouldn’t have been making the bars~” Ignis hums as he sets away their left overs and sets it to cool further. While he waits for that he cuts into the bars and arranges them on a plate with some tea for him. “Bring these to the couch and we will snuggle up with a movie unless you have other plans for the evening?” He grins as he packs their left overs into containers for easy meals while he’s at work tomorrow.

Ignis perked as the other joined him, thrilled to see the other so eager to join him. “I will make sure the plushest of pillows are available! We can snuggle up with snacks and some good movies and catch up!”

Together they finish their meal, Ignis patiently waiting for the other to finish before he helps clear their plates to the maids that come to prep for dessert. Regis bids them goodnight, ready for the evening of work with Clarus. At the very least he’d enjoy dessert of their own before they would crunch down and catch up on work Regis had been putting off since his sons’ return.

Ignis offers his hand to the other. “You can call me Iggy, too, if you want!” The boy takes him to Nocts room where pillows have been prepped and their tea and dessert on wait for them. Once they’re alone, Iggy speaks again. “Would you like to help me build it? -Or do you prefer to watch instead?” he asks, taking two of the fluffier pillows into his hands, already flopping them onto the plush carpet.

That all sounded nice. He was still getting used to living in luxury again. All he’d had in his little cell in Niflheim was a flimsy mattress and a thin sheet to cover himself with, though it hadn’t done much to protect him against the cold of the room. Now though, he had a large, soft bed, thick blankets and so many plush pillows that he didn’t know what to do with them all.

“G’night dad,” he said and wrapped the man in a tight hug before taking Ignis’s hand and allowing the other boy to lead him away. He couldn’t help but feel vulnerable though. His father had become his safety net. He’d barely left his side since coming home and now. Walking away from him now was like having a band-aid being torn off. He wanted to run back and hide behind him but…that would do him no good and it would upset Ignis.

He didn’t want to upset him – he was nice.

“Iggy,” he repeated softly. The name rolled off his tongue with ease and if felt right – familiar. He thought he might have called him that when he was younger. “I want to help. Will you…will you show me how?” He asked, watching as the other boy made a start with the pillows.

The two begin to walk but Noctis rushes to hug his father, invited with a tight hug and a kiss goodnight, along side some encouraging words before the boy rejoins Ignis. 

“Of course I’ll teach you! We start with a base! Then the walls!” Ignis helps him make the walls, teaching him how to make the ‘wall pillows’ stable and together before too long they set up the ‘roof’ with a blanket. Their ‘door’ leads to the television. Between them the small floor table, complete with their, now set out, desserts and teas. 

“There! your first castle of pillows since your return!” He beams at him and sets a small camera to take a picture of them inside of it.

Regis kisses his boy as his son takes his plate and moves to sit next to Ignis and Clarus. He’s in utter delight as his son opens up, though a deeper part of him, a smaller part of him, pangs with a protective air. He knows better, though, they both need this, to grow. Regis smiles and watches his son sit and interact, thrilled at his progress.

Ignis beams brightly as the prince joins him; he could have moved but when Regis had suggested the boy move first, it was better to let the prince come; perhaps it was helpful if there were space between the father and son to get the two of them used to being out of one anothers reach.

He helps push his chair in, sidling his own seat closer to the other as he too continues his meal. While he’s excited to show the other the treats he’s concocted, he’s more than pleased to continue their dinner and wait until Noctis is satisfied. It’s when Noctis speaks up that Ignis could drop his fork. An invitation!? The boy lights up and grins. “I would love to watch a movie with you! We can make a fort or cuddle up in bed if you should like. Even take some of the sweets in if we keep real tidy.” he offers the other.

“There are many movies- and some that have come out in your absence if you wanted to catch up on ones I think you may have liked? You can tell me if I bore you- I will not be offended!” He’s excited, thrilled to hear the other’s voice. “And I can read to you, too. I know His Majesty reads to you before bed, and if it makes you comfortable I could too if you can’t sleep after the movie.”

Noctis had leaned in as his father placed a kiss to his head, the man’s beard tickling him. He didn’t seem to mind though, smiling as he took the seat between Ignis and his father’s shield. He was nervous, but determined to make an effort. Everyone was trying so hard to help him – he needed to start helping himself.

“A fort sounds fun.” He said because how long had it been since he had last made a fort? He wasn’t even sure he remembered how to build one. He was sure Ignis would show him though. Ignis seemed pretty smart. He had to be if he could cook all that stuff. Ignis seemed pleased with the invitation which was good. Noctis had been worried the other boy would turn him down. If anything, Ignis seemed excited.

He looks down at his plate, eating until it was clean – even eating his vegetables. While he had shied away from them before, Noctis now ate everything he was given. Once he was done, he looked back at Ignis.

“Yeah. I think you’d probably know what I’d like better than I would…and…I don’t think you’re boring. I think you’re nice. I wouldn’t mind if you read to me after.”

Ignis perked as the other joined him, thrilled to see the other so eager to join him. “I will make sure the plushest of pillows are available! We can snuggle up with snacks and some good movies and catch up!” 

Together they finish their meal, Ignis patiently waiting for the other to finish before he helps clear their plates to the maids that come to prep for dessert.

“Mashed butter and sugar tastes good though,” he protested. It might not be the most nutritionally sound choice, but it did taste good. Then again, so did the sweet dough and cookie dough, so he couldn’t complain too much as he set the table while Ignis dished up. Noctis was hungry just from the smell of it as Ignis brought the dishes over to the table.

He took a seat at the table as his friend dished up their meal and he began to dig in. It tasted amazing, though that was no surprise. He liked everything Ignis made and he even managed to eat some of the veggies. Stir-fried, they weren’t that bad.

“Like I need an excuse to go fishing,” he grinned as he stabbed a piece of pork and brought it up to his mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing. “Maybe we could make a day out of it? A fishing trip, then you can cook up what I catch – you can give me a cooking lesson?”  It would be a nice day – especially if he was spending it with Ignis. It’d be nice to spend some more quality time with him.

“S’really good, you know. Can’t wait to see what’s for dessert.”

“Ah!” he makes a defeated noise. “You both will be the death of me!” he laughs, not at all daring to include Prompto- that boys diet was a disaster until recently. Watching Noctis eat so heartily always warmed his heart, always filling him with pride that he could make food the other found delicious enough to even eat his vegetables. 

He eats with him, thrilled Noct is planning to learn. “Ah? Then perhaps I could set aside a few days.... we could do it once school is on break and I’ve finished my final before the leave at the academy. That way, hopefully, by then, Gladiolus has finished his own exams; though I do vaguely recalling he had said Uncle Clarus was shipping him off for another training excursion...” 

A smile settles on his lips as he grins at his prince. “You’ll know the moment you have the last bite of your dinner.” Speaking of dessert, he checks the timer on his phone to make sure he hasn’t left it too long on it’s last leg of cooking.
