[Well, Ignis wouldn't have been mad if he did because, after everything they did, blushing was clearly not something to be expected. But it's appreciated when he doesn't, and hand in his hair is more loved. Ignis turns his head only a bit to press a short kiss to the wrist and looks back at Noct, now teasing and a playful smile on the face.]
I guessed but was never sure. After all, you were a rebel Prince.
[He was almost 100% sure there was something going on between Prompto and Noct back then, in high school. But Ignis is never the one to jump to conclusions and things like relationships are just for Noct to know about in the end. Ignis was probably not a nice reminder of everything that was coming Noct's way.
Shifting a bit, so that he stops crushing Noct, Ignis pulls out and lays down on his side, bringing both of his hands around Noct and dragging him into an embrace.]
...
[He could probably say million sappy things but- he doesn't. And just keeps on hugging him. He doesn't want to ruin the mood.]
[Heart and body rebel against the loss, a soft whine rising up unbidden from deep within his chest. No longer does he feel pleasantly full, a lonely sort of emptiness replacing the sensation. But he doesn't get to dwell on it, because Ignis is wrapping him in an embrace and encouraging him to move, to shift onto his side and cuddle down into the provided warmth.
Out of habit he lays where he can hear that heart beating so strongly, sighing out his contentment as the sound calms him. His left leg straightens, knee stiff from being held in the same position for so long. But the right bends, hitches up high over a slender hip and cradles their bodies together.
Nothing had ever happened between him and Prompto. Or him and anyone. There wasn't a single person who had expressed interest who wanted him for who he was inside. And then there had been Luna and it seemed like fate had just decided for him.]
We can stay here, right? [Considering he's already yawning and his eyes are falling closed, he really hopes so.] Because I'm going to need you again in the morning.
[The night is pleasantly cool, so Ignis just takes one of the sheets from the side to wrap them both in it. He will properly clean everything once they are done lazying around. Someone might actually want to stay here in the future and it wouldn't be fun to find... 'stains' everywhere.
That being said, it can wait for later. Noct settling in his embrace, so close Ignis can rest his chin on top of his head, makes Ignis happy and content. As if there's nothing wrong and as if nothing wrong in the future can happen.]
For now, yes. [Noct's temple gets a soft kiss when he yawns.] No one lives here for now.
[He can't help but chuckle at that,] Is that so? Looking forward to you waking up in the morning then.
Just for tonight. [Eyes flutter open then, glancing up as his back arches. Just enough to bring him in close and let his lips brush over Ignis'.] Just for tonight let it only be us.
[They would go back tomorrow. It would go back to being the four of them all in this together. He loved them. He did. But just for the night he wanted to pretend like nothing else existed except for him and Ignis. A selfish desire he would never dare voice to anyone else.]
[Ignis hums in approval, his own lips just barely pressing in for a kiss against Noct.]
It's just us here.
[They can stay the night, and the morning too, until people start looking for them. Ignis can make that for Noct. Ignis is ready to do anything for him. Just to see that happy, sleepy smile on his face.]
[All Noctis truly wants is to be with Ignis. To be at his side. To have his back. To protect him. To fight with him. To love him and make love with him. And he has it. All of it. Right there in the palm of his hand. Held onto like it's something precious and fragile despite the pillar of strength it's built upon.
Noctis doesn't waste time snuggling back down. Into the warmth of Ignis' arms and the blankets that surround them. Sleep isn't far off, already taking a hold of him, drawing him in steadily.]

Thank you, Iggy. For everything.
