[ ignis waits to see what the answer is, knowing full well that the shield has heard the way it was phrased. you not we. he wants to see what gladio will even do or how far he's even willing to go.
the few seconds that pass feel almost too long and then before ignis can even move there's arm arm snaking around his lower back. ignis doesn't pull away from the kiss, instead taking a second to enjoy the almost overwhelming sense of relief as he slides his own hands up to occupy gladio's shoulders. finally. he gives a small hum of appreciation before firmly returning the kiss. it's a good enough answer for now.]
❰ there's a sort of give from ignis that he hadn't expected. it kinda makes gladio wonder how bad he really did get to him, a curiosity that at the very least gives him an excuse to fall back on if any of this ends up backfiring.
not that he thinks it's going to. ignis is kissing him back now in no uncertain terms, and that's pretty much the only cue gladio needs to press forward, one step, two steps, three - and all of a sudden, ignis is bodily pinned to a nearby tree. gladio's forearm braces against the rough bark while his other arm lingers firmly around the man's waist. none of this, mind you, interrupted his kissing, though he does pause just long enough to catch ignis's bottom lip lightly between his teeth. ❱
[ the only reason ignis slightly gives so easily is so he can control the situation, to take stock of exactly what is going on and how far gladio is willing to push his luck given the opportunity. that's what ignis is going to keep on telling himself as he clutches at gladio's shoulders just that bit tighter. as far as he's concerned right now, after lingering touches and too much time on his hands to overthink things, this is just fine.
ignis moves backwards easily as gladio moves them, leaning back against the arm and the tree as he twists a hand in the front of Gladio's shirt. he can't help the small gasp at teeth on his lip, green eyes fluttering shut as he tries to ignore the way his back arches just so. this was ridiculous, ignis can recognize as much, but at the same time the shield has managed to get under his skin so well and ignis is already leaning back up and into another kiss, this time making sure to part his lips and tilt his head back in silent invitation, curious to see if gladio will take the opportunity.]
❰ oh, he'll take it. his own lips part in turn, deepening the kiss even further with a pleased hum in the back of his throat. in fact, he'll do him one better, hips rolling forward just slightly to establish just one more point of contact.
you'd think he'd at least be a little bit nervous, but gladio doesn't really see it as pushing his luck, considering ignis is obviously not objecting. ❱
