[ Ignis lets himself be pulled into the room, relieved to feel Prompto's touch and hear his voice. Once he's in, he sets his hand down gently on Prom's shoulder and pulls him into a tight embrace. ]
Lady Lunafreya, she's... [ gone home, but no that isn't right and they both know it. She's dead. ] departed this world.
I had to be sure that you're still with me. [ He's worried about Noctis, but this absolutely spooked him enough to check in with Prompto first. ]
[She's disappeared. Again. He's lost track of how many times Luna had come and gone. Not just here. She'd been on the Fleet too. Same as Ignis and Noctis - who had also vanished on him. It didn't get any easier. He hates the idea that he could get used to it.]
I hope she was happy while she was here.
[He leans into Ignis with a sad sigh.]
I'm still here.
[He stops short of saying "of course". He knows it's not that simple, even if he, himself, has never been "sent home".]
["...either one of use could be taken away." He goes still, and quiet, for a moment. He'd been devastated when Kaname disappeared. For the longest time, he couldn't stomach the thought of falling in love again. He doesn't want to go through that again. But Ignis felt...safe. At least they came from the same world. At least they would see each other again if one should vanish. Maybe it wouldn't be exactly the same, but it's a comfort.
[ Is his quick reply to that, he's calmed down since coming into the room. Holding Prompto in his arms is helping him too.
Ignis has been feeling this one since his birthday, untangling new feelings yet again. Now? He knows. He's known how he feels for a while now. With Lunafreya disappearing... it's given him some quick thinking.
What if he'd never gotten to tell Prompto? What if Prom left then came back, but didn't recall what they had together? He doesn't want to live with regrets.
He can feel Prompto's eyes on him and he's wishing with all his might that he can see for this. ]
What if I never got to tell you...? [ he murmurs quietly to himself. ]
I... I'm in love with you.
[ Ignis exhales a breath, rubbing at Prom's back in a lovingly way. ]
[About a hundred questions pop up - like: Why? and: Are you sure? - but he doesn't voice any of them. He knows it's his own insecurity getting in the way.
Kaname told him once that you had to make the time count. He passed the same advice on to Noct, when he told Prompto that he and Pyra were together. There was no point in holding back when everything could change in a blink. If you find something (someone) that makes you happy, don't let it pass by. And he's very happy here.
His voice is still too stunned to work, so he does the next best thing. He grips the front of Ignis' shirt and pulls him down into a heated kiss.]
[ Ignis barely has time to react to that, the feel of Prompto's hand on his shirt then the tug into a fierce kiss. He lets out a soft sound in surprise, then relaxes into it. His arms wrap tighter around Prompto and he stays like that for a while.
Until he has to break apart the kiss just to breathe, his breath coming in and out in short bursts. Ignis leans his forehead against Prom's (having not pulled too far apart) and rests there.
Time is too short and precious here, it's a shame that it took Lunafreya to leave to get him into saying it. He'd been wanting to anyway.
And the fact that he's checking in with Prompto first instead of Noctis says a lot to him, in his opinion.
It's alright that Prompto didn't say it back, his reaction spoke volumes in Ignis' opinion too. It's enough and he wouldn't want to force it out of Prompto. ]
You've made me a very happy man, Prom.
[ He is happy here and has been for the past couple of months honestly. Even with the bumps in the road from the Era stuff and people leaving, Prom's been his rock.
All he wants now is to remain by Prom's side for the rest of the night. ]
[Prompto is still at a loss for words. He closes his eyes, his hand curling and uncurling near the collar of Iggy's shirt. That's going to wrinkle. Sorry, Igs.
There's a smile in his voice as he rocks closer, hands moving up to twine together behind Ignis' neck.]
I'm happy you're happy. I'm...Me too. [He tries to say it back - "I love you" - but he can't get the words from his brain to his mouth. A part of him is still afraid to voice it. So instead he tries to pour it into another kiss - less urgent than the first.] I'm very happy too.
[ He's not caring about the wrinkled collar, though he knows that's happening. This moment is too important for them.
Ignis has his answer regardless, even if Prompto can't voice it right now. He's feeling it from Prom's reaction. He'll honestly wait until Prom's ready to say it himself. ]
I'm glad you are too, [ he says after a moment of quiet. ]
Prom... [ He withdraws back from the hug and lets his hand slide down Prompto's arm to his hand then he takes it in his, tugging on it a bit towards his bed. ]
[His fingers curl around Iggy's and he easily follows the tug.]
'Course. [As if he would refuse.
He hops onto the bed as soon as they reach it, letting go of Ignis only so he can push the pillows into a more comfortable arrangement, and then scoots far enough over for the other man to join him.]
[ Ignis waits on Prompto to get settled in the bed, using his hearing as a cue, then he gets onto the bed himself, stretching out and laying back. He reaches for Prompto to pull into his arms once more. ]
[Prompto curls into Ignis' arms, humming in contentment.] Can I ask you something? How long have you, like...wanted to be with me?
[He remembers Ignis telling him he had feelings for him, back when they'd been trapped under the mistletoe. But what he can't figure out is when those feelings started. Had he missed the signs?]
[ Ignis holds Prompto close to him and hms softly at the question.
He knows his answer, even if it taken him a while to untangle those feelings then. ]
When I was taking care of you, it honestly scared me to find you out in the cold like that. [ Then he'd found out that Noctis had gotten hurt; almost died no less, then Gladio had arrived shortly after that. Things were hectic for a while. The mistletoe had gotten him to open up.
Arriving here in this world has given him a break from life, things were rush rush back home on Eos after Altissia. There was no room to breath there. But on this world? It's given him time to reflect on what Prom did for him back on Eos. ]
It was my birthday when I felt myself falling in love with you. It took time to untangle those feelings.
[It's seems like ages ago that he'd sleep-walked out into the cold, though really it only been a handful of months. And the birthday party - that was almost two months ago. It sends a warm feeling through him, to know he'd been loved for that long, even if he didn't know it.
[He huffs, amused, as he's pulled into a new position. He folds his arms over Ignis' chest, tangles their legs together. His reply is a soft hum of assent.]

[ As long as this place allows, they agreed to this. Them. It's what spooked him so bad, Ignis doesn't think he can handle losing Prom, not now.
A quiet sigh escapes him too. ]
And I'm glad for that. It's a harsh reminder that either one of us could be taken away.
