[It has been very different and very difficult for all of them to move on from their old habits. From some habits they even couldn't move on, couldn't forget, ingrained in their minds and souls forever. But he knows one thing for sure and that his feelings for Noctis are as real as they themselves are. He had denied in the past, lied to the others and himself that they aren't there but- not here.
He's not lying to himself or anyone else for that matter, now that they are dead. And it is Noct's choice to be with him or no.
Those blue eyes... he's fallen in love with them such a long time ago, it feels almost like an eternity. He leans his forehead against Noct's and sighs- jealousy and possessiveness has always been bad vice of Noct's and with their relationship, it seems it has spiked.]
I can't tell you to not feel what you feel, but I assure you, there is no one I'd rather spend the rest of my time with than with you. Food? Places? Items? They come and go. But I will stay. I always stayed, I always will. It is something that not even Gods themselves can change.
('You got my back'? He would ask it already knowing the answer. Glancing over at Ignis as they both prepared to run headlong into whatever dared to challenge them now. Wild, gigantic beast and entire fleets of mechanical troops who's only purpose was to make their lives miserable. It didn't matter. Not even the gods themselves could stand against the force of both of them.
And the answer would come, never once failing, never once faltering.
Always.)
Not now and for as long as they both might still have. Always. It shook him down into his core. Made his heart skip a beat and clench so tightly within his chest that it ached. Why hadn't he ever seen this before? Of all the times he had looked into those eyes, why had he never seen this beautiful light shining inside them? Or had he really been that blind?
That ugliness is still there. Still threatens to claw upwards and out. But it's squashed down a little more easily now.]
[Hearing the words come back to him from Noct draws a small smile from Ignis. His thumbs brush against Noct's chin and cheeks slowly, his eyes drinking in Noct's glassy gaze, seeing a flicker from the torch inside of them. How he wishes to see the pure, deep blue in sunlight again. One day- one day he'll see it again. And eyes will be smiling at him, happy they get to go to do proper fishing.
The kiss Ignis gives Noct is slow, wanting to pour all of his love he has for him through it, without any rush, just feeling. He pulls back after a moment and gives Noctis another smile.]

You have me now, and always.
