âYeah?â The younger male asked with a cheeky grin, reaching for another one of the bars, quickly finishing it off. He wasnât about to miss out on the opportunity to stuff himself with one of his favourite desserts. It wasnât 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.
âI always choose,â he said softly before handing Ignis the remote. âYou choose tonight. Anything you want.â
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 wouldnât necessarily choose himself.
To say that it delighted Ignis would be an incredible understatement. Even when the other gives critique on his prepared meals heâs thrilled enough that Noctis would try it again.Â
âYou always choose because the last time I selected you laughed!â Iggy takes the remote, regardless, heâs 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.Â
It takes a moment of searching to find it; a directors cut fed to Nocts files and displayed on his tv. âSurround sound, I take it?â The older of the two grins, one arm around Noct and the other supporting the mug rested on his other knee.Â
âIâd say âI wouldnât be angry if you fell asleep on meâ, but I almost doubt youâll fall asleep through this movie~â Ignis smiles, gently bumping their foreheads together. âItâs too bad Gladio is too busy- weâre 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!â Basking, Ignis idly kneads at Nocts shoulder where his hand rests.Â
A moment to breathe.

âDamn right I am,â Noctis grinned, playfully shoving Ignis away once the kiss was pressed to his head. Ignis was lucky Noct liked him so much â not just anyone could get away with coercing him into eating his vegetables after all. The incentive of Ignisâs cooking, especially his desserts was a damn good one.
âNah. I donât have any plans,â he told him, though even if he had, he would have cancelled them or rearranged them. Spending the night watching movies with IgnisâŠwell, 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. âWhat dâyou wanna watch?â
He laughs as heâs pushed away after the kiss, finishing up before he follows Noct to the couch with hot coco topped with whip and fresh ground cinnamon.Â
âBrilliant- Iâm 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.â Ignis hints, itâs not often he allows them to stray while heâs watching (they do enough of that, heâs sure, when theyâre out of his sight).Â
âWhat to watch, what to watch~â Heâs in thought for a moment before he takes a lick of the whip cream. â.... I suppose I could tolerate one of those horror movies you like so much? Or something different tonight?âÂ

Late blossoms
[Closed Opener @aegisregalisâ]
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.Â
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 Iggysâ home from his which gives him time to warm up with stretches and yoga.Â
Itâs 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. Itâs a swirl of pinks and white and thickened with chia powders. âBottoms up before this round.â he announces to the other. âWe get the blueberry lemon iced tea for cool down.âÂ
Ignis holds out the cup to him and swallows his own; itâs 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.Â
A moment to breathe.

âYou love me really,â 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 â his first friend and that produced a bond that couldnât be replicated. Ignis did so much for him that he was more grateful than the older male could ever know, even if he didnât 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.
âYeah. That sounds good. Something to look forward to anyway.â They would both be much more at ease with school out of the way so that would be perfect, especially since he didnât want to distract Ignis too much in the days leading up to his exams. âSeems Gladioâs always training. I guess he takes his role seriously. I remember when he was adamant heâd never protect a âpunkâ like me.
That was a long time ago and while Gladio still called him a punk, it was said so endearingly.
âYou just want to make sure I eat all my veggies,â he complained, but cleaned his plate all the same. He wanted dessert.
âOh dear~ Heâs on to me!â he teases, laughing as he begins to clear their finished plates. Leaning over he kisses his head and hums. âLet me fetch the lavender lemon bars.â he smiles and winks.Â
âOh I know you eat all your veggies; if you didnât I wouldnât have been making the bars~â 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. âBring these to the couch and we will snuggle up with a movie unless you have other plans for the evening?â He grins as he packs their left overs into containers for easy meals while heâs at work tomorrow.Â

Ignis perked as the other joined him, thrilled to see the other so eager to join him. âI will make sure the plushest of pillows are available! We can snuggle up with snacks and some good movies and catch up!â
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 heâd enjoy dessert of their own before they would crunch down and catch up on work Regis had been putting off since his sonsâ return.
Ignis offers his hand to the other. âYou can call me Iggy, too, if you want!â The boy takes him to Nocts room where pillows have been prepped and their tea and dessert on wait for them. Once theyâre alone, Iggy speaks again. âWould you like to help me build it? -Or do you prefer to watch instead?â 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 heâd had in his little cell in Niflheim was a flimsy mattress and a thin sheet to cover himself with, though it hadnât 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 didnât know what to do with them all.
âGânight dad,â he said and wrapped the man in a tight hug before taking Ignisâs hand and allowing the other boy to lead him away. He couldnât help but feel vulnerable though. His father had become his safety net. Heâd 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 butâŠthat would do him no good and it would upset Ignis.
He didnât want to upset him â he was nice.
âIggy,â he repeated softly. The name rolled off his tongue with ease and if felt right â familiar. He thought he might have called him that when he was younger. âI want to help. Will youâŠwill you show me how?â 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.Â
âOf course Iâll teach you! We start with a base! Then the walls!â Ignis helps him make the walls, teaching him how to make the âwall pillowsâ stable and together before too long they set up the âroofâ with a blanket. Their âdoorâ leads to the television. Between them the small floor table, complete with their, now set out, desserts and teas.Â
âThere! your first castle of pillows since your return!â He beams at him and sets a small camera to take a picture of them inside of it.Â

Regis kisses his boy as his son takes his plate and moves to sit next to Ignis and Clarus. Heâs 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 heâs excited to show the other the treats heâs concocted, heâs more than pleased to continue their dinner and wait until Noctis is satisfied. Itâs when Noctis speaks up that Ignis could drop his fork. An invitation!? The boy lights up and grins. âI 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.â he offers the other.
âThere 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!â Heâs excited, thrilled to hear the otherâs voice. âAnd 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 canât sleep after the movie.â
Noctis had leaned in as his father placed a kiss to his head, the manâs beard tickling him. He didnât seem to mind though, smiling as he took the seat between Ignis and his fatherâs shield. He was nervous, but determined to make an effort. Everyone was trying so hard to help him â he needed to start helping himself.
âA fort sounds fun.â He said because how long had it been since he had last made a fort? He wasnât 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 â 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.
âYeah. I think youâd probably know what Iâd like better than I wouldâŠandâŠI donât think youâre boring. I think youâre nice. I wouldnât mind if you read to me after.â
Ignis perked as the other joined him, thrilled to see the other so eager to join him. âI will make sure the plushest of pillows are available! We can snuggle up with snacks and some good movies and catch up!âÂ
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.

âMashed butter and sugar tastes good though,â 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 couldnât 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 werenât that bad.
âLike I need an excuse to go fishing,â he grinned as he stabbed a piece of pork and brought it up to his mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing. âMaybe we could make a day out of it? A fishing trip, then you can cook up what I catch â you can give me a cooking lesson?â It would be a nice day â especially if he was spending it with Ignis. Itâd be nice to spend some more quality time with him.
âSâreally good, you know. Canât wait to see whatâs for dessert.â
âAh!â he makes a defeated noise. âYou both will be the death of me!â 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.Â
He eats with him, thrilled Noct is planning to learn. âAh? Then perhaps I could set aside a few days.... we could do it once school is on break and Iâve 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...âÂ
A smile settles on his lips as he grins at his prince. âYouâll know the moment you have the last bite of your dinner.â Speaking of dessert, he checks the timer on his phone to make sure he hasnât left it too long on itâs last leg of cooking.Â
