[That- wasn't a question Ignis expected. At all. And it instantly lights up Ignis' face with a fiery blush he can't control. Because yes, he could hear Gladio and Ravus- until Gladio got the room soundproofed. Then Ignis couldn't decide whether he liked it or no.
...he can't admit that!
Well. He can. He just slept with Ravus. But still- saying something like that aloud is embarrassing.
-there's no point in lying or hiding.]
I... did. Hear you. Neither of you is quiet and, well, the room wasn't soundproofed then. [His cheeks get even redder as he thinks about the second question-] F... From time to time. If- if you did it early, I would let you to your own devices because I... felt like I was eavesdropping. But sometimes [you fucks] you would do it in the middle of the night [4 fucking AM] and then... [and then there was no escaping the sounds and how hot they sounded and him wanting to melt into the pillows. And sometimes the showers couldn't help him so he felt additionally guilty for getting off on them.]
...so yes. There were moments where I was tempted to knock on the door. It usually ended up with me locking my own...
[Ravus is smirking like the cat that swallowed the canary.]
You don't need to look so bashful. To speak the truth, the thought of you listening in made it even better for me. We would have welcomed you in, if you had knocked.
[It's not like he can control the blush, Ravus. The question was a bit out of nowhere and of nature he doesn't always answer. He also admitted to everything so...
Ignis' gaze falls, but he nods in the end. Yes, Gladio will return to them. He would never leave them.]
[He could say more, paint a lewd picture of all the things he wants to do with Ignis and Gladio together in his bed, but he doesn't want to keep reminding Ignis of Gladio's absence.]
And until then, you needn't knock. I'll expect you here, or I'll come to you.
[Because Ravus trusts Ignis with many things, but taking care of himself is not one of them. The only way to insure Ignis is not suffering alone is to stay by his side until the cause for suffering has passed.]
[Ignis has to admit that Ravus is a quick learner- that yes, taking care of himself is usually the last thing Ignis does when the situation is dire.
His eyes soften as he takes in every word and their meaning and the air in his lungs is both warm and hurting and Ignis doesn't know what to do with himself. He sits up and shifts close to Ravus, letting his closeness comfort him in a way Ignis didn't expect.]
I will be here, I promise, [Ignis says with a small nod, lifting his eyes to meet Ravus'.] No knocking.
[There's no helping it. Ravus has no choice but to press Ignis back down into the bed and kiss him thoroughly. When Ravus is sure his unspoken point has been conveyed, he releases him and sits back up.]
...yes, right. We've tarried longer than we meant to. We should rise and see to our duties now.
[Good talk, Scientia. Ravus is not good at voicing his feelings, so hopefully he's given Ignis enough indications to help him understand how wanted he is.]
[Okay, if Ravus continues to keep pushing him down against pillows and kissing the life out of him, there's no way he'll be able to do anything. Thankfully, the kiss ends with being just that, a very telling, soul-warming kiss. He continues to lay down for a moment (to secretly catch his breath) but agrees with Ravus.]
Right. We... need to get to work.
[Extremely good, no-word talk. His brain is still doing the catching up game so if you give him a few hours that would be great.]
no subject
[Ravus props himself up on an elbow and lets himself study Ignis' face. So beautiful, but forlorn.]
You know, I always wondered...could you hear Gladiolus and I, when we fucked?
[Because, you know, one way to remove that sadness is to replace it with a blush. And Ravus has been dying to know.]
Did you ever listen in, and wish you were a part of it?

[He runs a finger down Ignis' flaming cheek.]
He will come back...and I want you to come knock.
