[The only thing he'd managed to do in between the text and Prompto showing up was get the coffee brewing. One of the drawbacks of moving so close to your friends, but fortunately, it was one of very few!
He grinned and got the door.]
Do you still not see the connection between yourself and a puppy?
He stepped back and waved Prompto inside. There was, indeed, pie set out on the kitchen table.]
Gladio's been baking, so I taught him an American classic. America, being my home country, apple pie is one of our signature desserts. Would you like some ice cream with it?
[Tony got out a fresh container of homemade vanilla ice cream from the freezer (not replicator made!) and dished out a few scoops for both of them.
He paused at the question though and .. god why did Prompto have to ask that? The smile it produced was just terrible for his street cred! He tried really hard to cover it with clearing his throat and pretending that didn't just happen, but yeah, you totally saw that.]
We're uh.. we're good. He's a huge pain in the ass.. but you know.. he's..
[Seriously, stop looking at him and eat your pie already.]
He said he wants to make a rock garden or something?
[He returned that grin, glad to see how much Prompto was approving of him dating someone so important to the blonde. You just never knew with these people around here.
He sat down and picked up his fork, but looked at the kid thoughtfully.]
You're great too and I know we don't hang out the four of us all that much, but you treat him really well. It's natural to be worried though.

Are any of your Eos buddies also artists or is he the only one? And yeah, I'd appreciate knowing where the tattoo artist is.
no subject
does it got to be someone from Eos?
[He taps up directions to the tattoo artist and sends that along as well.]
no subject
No, you're right. It probably doesn't. Just knowing there's somewhere here who knows how to do tattoos for our skin is good enough. Thanks for that.
You might mind keeping this between us till I can make it a surprise for him?
no subject
i can always ask around
~secretly~
won't tell a soul

[A second text quickly follows as he realizes how that sounds.]
I'm not getting that huge eagle! Just.. so we're clear.
no subject
far as I know, yeah
[He wasn't super versed in all the royal/nobility stuff. Iggy would probably be the better, more knowledgeable one, to ask.]
that'd be pretty ambitious
no subject
It's the best or nothing for Gladio. You know how it is. I'm sure you're that way with Ignis, right?
no subject
could probably be better
[He likes to think he knows Iggy pretty well. But then anxiety takes over and he worries too much.]
no subject
[He could dismiss that as just general humility but..]
Anything in particular making you worry?
no subject
he's like
way out of my league
idk what i'm doing. ever.
[There's a smattering of emojis that have nothing to do with anything.]
sorry sorry
don't mind me
no subject
He's not. He's lovely, but so are you.
[A second message comes shortly after and it's a picture two coffee mugs, two small plates, and half an apple pie with a short message.]
Get over here kid (^_~)
no subject
k
[And soon enough, he's there in the flesh, only a little out of breath.]
no subject
He grinned and got the door.]
Do you still not see the connection between yourself and a puppy?
no subject
[The head tilt probably doesn't help. Or the not-so-subtle peek around Tony to see if there really is pie.]
no subject

no subject
He nods quickly.]
Yes please!
[He pulls out a chair to sit, hands propped up under his chin.]
You guys doing good?
no subject

[Seriously, stop looking at him and eat your pie already.]
He said he wants to make a rock garden or something?
no subject
No.
This is great. He's got a grin of his own.]
A garden with rocks? Flowers too boring?
[Okay, okay, he'll eat his pie.]
no subject
Yeah, well, it'll have both, I think. I'll be honest, as much as I love the guy, his interest in gardening isn't something we share.
[He set down the ice cream and then fetched their coffee.]
It's alright, though, there's plenty that we do. Anyway, we're talking about you not me. What's going on with you and Ignis?
no subject
I'm with you on that. Can't do the plant thing.
[While it was kind of interesting when you got into the science of it all, plants required too much patience.
He turns back to his pie with a hasty wave of his hand.]
Nothing's going on. I mean, nothing bad. It's great. He's great.
no subject
He sat down and picked up his fork, but looked at the kid thoughtfully.]
You're great too and I know we don't hang out the four of us all that much, but you treat him really well. It's natural to be worried though.
no subject
He told me he loves me. [And as happy as that makes him, he doesn't look it.]
no subject
[Tony grins widely at him.]
And you two are brand new to the 'L' stage? Congrats, kid.
no subject
[He offers a weak smile, fork tapping on the edge of his plate. And then he sighs.]
I didn't say it back.

Why not?
