[And because he really wants that seafood, he'll even send along a quick snap of what he's currently wearing; black pants, nicer than the ones he typically wears and actually full length. A plain black t-shirt devoid of any skulls, and a stylish leather jacket.]
[Ignis doesn't send a picture in return- he figures it would be pointless since he is just five minutes away from Noct's place. An hour flies by when you text and plan for a date, huh?
He arrives at Noct's apartment, dressed in a nicely pressed white button-up shirt, black, tight-fitting pants and dark jacket.
Usually, he'd knock on the door and just use card key to enter, but today- he waits for Noct to greet him.]
[Considering how deeply he had to dig into his closet to find a suitable pair of pants that wasn't full of holes - either deliberate or just because he refused to throw anything out - it really wasn't all that hard to believe.
There's a knock, and for a long moment he does absolutely nothing. Just stands there in the kitchen like a giant dork waiting for Ignis to let himself in.
Only of course that doesn't happen because this is a date with his boyfriend and not just another dinner served at his kitchen island by his adviser.
Thankfully he seems to get his act together - for all of twenty seconds, but it's long enough to answer the door - and instantly his eyes are drawn to everything. Somehow he had never realized just how good Ignis looked in his colors.]
[Ignis will have a date with Noct's closet soon enough- some of that stuff really needs to be thrown out.
For a moment, Ignis wondered if he should just open up the old way- maybe Noctis didn't hear him knock? But then the lock clicks open and the sight is-]
Nothing compared to you.
[Noctis looks stunning when he's properly dressed. Or, well, when he's not wearing torn clothes in general. But to see him sharply dressed like this- Ignis can feel his heart skip a beat.
He takes a step inside and takes Noct's hand, placing a short, gentle kiss on top of it- without moving his eyes from Noct's face.]
[Those clothes are comfortable, Iggy. Besides, where does he ever even go? To the Citadel - where he wears whatever you've told him to. To lessons with Gladio - where his clothes are just going to get ripped and dirty anyway. And to play video games with Prompto - and you've seen how he dresses, right?
There something that he should say. He knows there's a question being asked and that he should respond in some way. But Ignis is lifting his hand, pressing soft lips against the back and every other thought goes flying out of his head.]
Uh... [What was the question again? Did it even actually matter what it was? It was Ignis, so he was going to say regardless.] Yeah. I would love to have you for dinner. [What.] I mean, I would love to have dinner with you.
[Maybe that's why seeing him all dressed up like this is leaving even a bigger impression.
Patiently, he waits for Noct to answer, raising an eyebrow when Noct stumbles over his own words and says something that is really tempting but would interrupt their plans. He smirks.]
You can have me for dessert, love, [Ignis offers Noct his elbow,] but right now, our dinner reservation waits for us.
[Listen, this is honestly all too much for him. First you go and actually ask his father if you can properly court him. And then you warn him exactly an hour beforehand of your devious plans. And now you've shown up at his door looking especially delicious and you want to take him out in public on a date like a real couple.
It's so much more than ever dreamed of happening.
Taking a deep breath, he slips his hand through the offered arm, pausing only for a moment to lean up onto his tiptoes to press a soft kiss against Ignis' cheek.]
[But it was something they both dreamed of- to be a proper couple. To go on dates in public, hold hands and hug each other without holding back. If Ignis wanted this, he was almost sure Noctis craved it, despite the fact that he'd never admit it and would probably pout at any PDA.
Turning, Ignis smiles at Noct and leans to press a very short, soft kiss on Noct's lips.]
[Considering the pouting is already starting just at that short little kiss - his neighbors could have seen! - you are probably exceptionally right in your assumption.]
So does that mean I get to see you any time I want?
[And not just as his adviser, but as his boyfriend.]
btw argument I'm referencing is from brotherhood anime
[When has he ever been wrong about Noctis? Except... in a few situations, when they ended up arguing and not talking for a few days. But they handled that as well and Ignis finally saw Noct's true, beautiful colors.
Colors he saw when he first met him but got lost under the weight of the burden he carries.]
Out of all people you see me the most. Aren't you sick of me? [Ignis jokes.]
[Honestly, Noct only needs to say a word and Ignis will be over at his place. Unless it's something extremely important, then he'd have to probably wait a moment. Otherwise, he's always by his side.]
Well, we will have plenty of time now that we came clean to His Majesty.
You say that like my dad probably didn't already know,
[Because he was absolutely convinced that, somehow, his father knew everything.]
There are neighbors of his as they move through the lobby. Curious faces peeking at them. The crown prince and his adviser, practically snuggled up as they walk. It was definitely gonna be all over everything come morning.[
Perhaps he did, perhaps he didn't. Now, however, he's sure about it.
[Ignis doesn't like ambiguity- he is always honest and open regarding everything, and telling King Regis about Noctis and himself was terrifying. But he knew that, even if he was banned from seeing Noct, he'd still remain part of retinue.
Thankfully, King Regis accepted the situation and now... now is date time.]
I recommend turning off the sound on your phone, [Ignis says, pushing his glasses up. You don't want to be interrupted or woken up by million journalists asking "IS IT TRUE!?"]
[Because he really, really did not want to think about what was coming in the morning. Of course, there would probably be an official statement made by Citadel, but that wouldn't stop people from talking.]

I suppose I will have to eat all of this seafood all by myself. Have a nice evening, Noct.

Chill Specs
