Summary
Gladio asks Ignis to attend a gala as his plus-one, to deter mounting pressure from Clarus that he start dating. (Communication is not the Amicitias’ strong suit.)
Ignis agrees, despite (because of?) his desperate, secret crush on Gladio. He’s already composing his epitaph. Here lies Ignis Scientia, dead of heart failure at twenty-one.

Summary
It was deceptively easy to fall into bed with Ignis.
There were signs, if Gladio had let himself see them; the lack of awkwardness and no hesitancy as Ignis quietly brought him to his apartment in the Citadel, the box of condoms and bottle of lube both closer to empty than full, the way it only took one kiss. One ill timed kiss, one moment for Gladio to lose himself after months on months of banging his head against the brick wall that was Ignis Scientia. He was impenetrable. And the harder Gladio looked for a crack, a slip, some glimpse beyond the facade, the more Ignis seemed impossibly closed off. One kiss. One kiss and Gladio thought that meant change.

Summary
Gladio’s brows screw together and he raises a hand in exasperation. “Ignis. Do you—really?” He buries his face into his hands, shoulders shaking with laughter. “You seriously don’t get it, do you?”
Ignis bristles. He doesn’t care one bit for being on the outside of a joke, whatever it is. “Perhaps you could enlighten me, then.”
“This is, ah, y’know.” Gladio sobers suddenly, his eyes flitting around the diner, refusing to settle back on Ignis. “A date.” He pauses, clears his throat, then adds, “I asked you on a date, Ignis.”

Summary
Gladio smiles, thinks he ought to tell Ignis just how lovely he looks in the firelight later, but then Ignis turns his head so he’s looking directly at him. ‘Looking’ is a misnomer, of course, but his right eye is half-open in that way it gets when Ignis is concentrating on something and forgets to hold his eyelid shut. Though Gladio knows Ignis can’t see him, there’s something in the way that his milky pupil finds him in the gloom. It makes the breath catch in Gladio’s chest and all at once the hunger roiling in his guts, the tension in his shoulders, hell, even the grief at losing so much in such a short span of time leaves him.
All it takes is a look.

Summary
Maintaining eye contact with himself in the mirror, Ignis puts his shoulders back, clears his throat, and says, in a light Leiden accent he’s been practicing for weeks, “May I have this dance?”
It sounds forced, even clumsy. His lips and tongue can’t shape the vowels just right, and he can’t stop hearing himself, even when he raises the pitch of his voice. He shakes his head. This is utterly ridiculous. The instant he opens his mouth, Gladio will know it’s him, he’s certain of it.
Gladio is going to a masquerade. Ignis makes it his mission to dance with him, even if he has to be in disguise to do it.

Summary
Noct’s words to them on the steps of the citadel had been unequivocal. I leave it to you. Noct had been confident that, despite everything, the three of them would survive the endless night and when dawn broke, they would be instrumental in rebuilding the world that he had sacrificed himself to save.
Rebuilding the world... that's exactly what they want to do with their lives.
Isn't it?

Summary
“I’d still know you.” Of that, he’s sure. Gladio watches Iggy work, aching to kiss his parted lips and drag his knuckles lightly, oh so lightly, over the stubble on his cheeks.“I’d ask you on a date.”
Iggy pauses, and Gladio sees his Adam’s apple bob as he swallows hard. When he finally looks up, his eyes are viridian in the light of the low-hanging sun. “A date?” he repeats.
“Yeah, Iggy. A date. I’d see you walk into the cafe in your tailored suit, with a newspaper under your arm, and you’d get stuck in my head. I’d sit in that cafe every day, hoping to see you again."
As Ignis tends to his wounds, Gladio asks him if he'd ever wondered what it would be like to live a normal life, free of duty.

Summary
There's Ignis: bookish, bespectacled — cute, but in an awkward sort of way.
Then there's Iggy: confident and self-assured, with carefully coiffed hair and oodles of sex appeal.
One of them is the nephew of Gladiolus's new landlord; the other is a random hookup in the alleyway beside a bar. What Gladio doesn't realise right away is that these men are one and the same.
It seems their little arrangement suits them — at first.
As Gladio comes to know Ignis by day and gets hooked on Iggy by night, it becomes harder and harder to separate the two...

#16 Kink, Roleplay/Uniforms - "Sailor Man"

Summary
Looking at him, Gladio can’t help smiling. Ignis lies on his back, one arm flung across the pillow over his head, the other hand resting on his belly. His face is turned toward Gladio, his lips slightly parted. Despite the scarring, his mouth looks so soft. Gladio wants to lean in and kiss him awake, to turn that kiss into a pre-work fuck, but he resists the temptation.
One rare morning, Gladio wakes up before Ignis. So he takes the opportunity to watch him sleep. A flash fic.

Summary
“Time is a precious commodity, Mr. Amicitia,” Ignis says flatly, “so I suggest we don't waste any more of it than is absolutely necessary.” He flicks Gladio a look of unfiltered disdain—payback for being late. “I'm sure you must have important abdominal crunches to be doing.”
The smile on Gladio’s face fades. His nostrils flare slightly—then, as though that response was a figment of the imagination, he's grinning again. Still, there's a certain satisfaction in seeing the other man rattled, even just momentarily.
“Well, I'd hate to keep you from cuttin’ Noct’s breakfast into bite size pieces, or foldin’ his pyjamas,” Gladio says.
Gladio and Ignis are drawn to each other, but for all the wrong reasons. This is... a problem.

Summary
It’s ridiculous to be so upset about something a virtual stranger said. Varinia knows nothing of him, or his relationship with Gladio. And yet…perhaps she’s right. He’s had the thought himself, as he lay sleepless in bed at night, listening to Gladio snore softly next to him. Gladio is beautiful; Ignis still remembers the mischievous curl of his lips when he smiled, and the way his eyes glowed like liquid gold in the sunlight. Having all of that to himself, but lacking the faculties to see it…well, it feels a little bit like committing a crime.
Ignis overhears someone saying Gladio can do better than him. Insecure about his blindness, Ignis takes the words to heart—but Gladio has something to say about it.
