Ignis and Ardyn Raising a Daughter Together
I feel like Ardyn and Ignis have a little bit of a competition sometimes as to who can be the best dad
They love to spoil their little girl, albeit Ardyn definitely takes the cake on that one
He loves to buy her everything she wants, unless it’s downright a waste
She wants another teddy bear? Ardyn’s already bought two new ones
Another game that she really really had her eye on? BOUGHT IT
Ignis is able to convince Ardyn to at least put some of those toys and presents away for Christmas or her birthday, but it’s near impossible to stop him from spoiling her
Ignis, on the other hand, spoils her in subtle ways
He gets their daughter what she needs, and by golly, he likes to get the damn good stuff. Hair brushes of the finest quality, the softest bed sheets, the most insulating thermoses..
They just really love to spoil her
Ignis is the one that takes her to doctor’s appointments, but Ardyn takes her to the dentist ones (Ignis highkey hates the dentist)
When she first came into their lives, Ardyn promptly quit his job to be a stay at home dad (he was pretty sick of his job anyways)
Ignis does have a tough love approach to things, like he definitely assigns her chores and expects her to make her bed and keep her room clean, but he also knows when to be soft and listen
Ardyn is the “more fun” parent of the two
He’s the one who will give in to mischief and laugh if she does something like playing a prank, and arguably he encourages it
However, if she does something that is most definitely wrong, he’s also the one who will react more strongly to it
The puppy dog eyes work on neither of them, although Ardyn sometimes pretends they do
Ignis makes all her lunches and leaves her cute little notes, and Ardyn likes to scribble in a little doodle or his own note alongside it
They are proud of every single thing that their daughter does, and Ignis 100% subtly brags about his daughter at work (he likes to also keep a family pic of himself, Ardyn, and their daughter on his desk too)
As their daughter grows up, Ardyn and Ignis try to respect her growing independence and try to raise her to be not just a fully functioning member of society, but also as someone who will do great things
As she grows up, it’s honestly much harder for Ardyn to let go
Ignis struggles too, but he’s able hide it more
Ardyn, on the other hand, doesn’t want his little girl to grow up and not need her dads anymore
This leads to some arguments down the road, and later in life, it honestly ends up being the source of quite a few bigger fights
Ardyn likes to tease her partners when she’s a teen, and surprisingly, Ignis is the one who raises a judgemental gaze to them
Her partners always leave her house a little uncertain from the mixed signals, with Ardyn’s “I’m a cool dad” vibes and Ignis’ subtle “oh you want to major in philosophy” judgemental gazes and “hmm”s they’re never quite sure what to think
If their daughter ends up being gay or bi or ace or aro or pan or anything else, they’re defo incredibly supportive and make sure to let her know that
Also: with Ignis being apart of the bros, their little girl grows up with many uncles aunts
There’s no escaping that kind of support system for sure
During those times when Ignis has to go away on business trips, Ardyn always turns it into a fun little vacation of his own
Ignis never lets them eat in the living room or stay up late, so that’s exactly what Ardyn does
Ardyn takes their daughter out for fastfood a couple nights and they take it back home where Ardyn throws a blanket out on the floor of the living room as a little “picnic” while they stay up late watching movies and dumb TV shows
Sometimes Ignis comes home late at night a day early, and he’ll see their daughter half asleep on a cocoon of blankets with Arydn absent-mindedly watching some comedy-action movie
Ignis usually finds it so cute that he doesn’t even mind the crumbs when he joins Ardyn at the couch with a small smile and a shake of his head
He usually says something like, “If her sleep schedule goes to shit, it’ll be your fault.”
In summary, they’re very doting dads, even though sometimes they struggle with the knowledge that their daughter is gonna have to grow up and be on her own one day
Even with that, they’ll always be there for her no matter where she ends up
