[ Ignis hesitates a moment and then gives up; he slides one leg over both of Noctis' and straddles him. There's nothing sexual about it; it's intimate and casual, if anything, meant so that Ignis can lean over him and press a kiss to his lips that's chaste, just a lingering touch in response to the question. ]

You will have me by your side for the rest of your life or mine. In what...capacity will depend on how things happen.

[ Ignis wants them to be both, but he won't be secret, won't have to steal hours with the man he loves just so court and Council members can be appeased because of one district or one country's power trip. Hasn't there been enough of using Noctis in a wedding?

He arches into the hand on his back, shivering out Noctis' name on the end of a sigh before his forehead drops and rests on Noctis' sternum. ]

I couldn't watch you have to marry someone else and keep going like this, though. And it may be nothing to worry about but it also may be something that arises that we have to address. You should know that up front. But I would never leave. [ It's not what Noctis is looking for, but Ignis smiles quietly and presses a kiss over his heart. ]
