[ It could never be a happy marriage as long as Ignis isn't a part of it, it's that simple. Noctis has only ever loved Ignis to the exclusion of just about everything, that streak of cruelty in his singlemindedness that Octavia wordlessly endures, aware at every moment that his love can never be afforded to her, not when Ignis predominates and eclipses all else.
It's obsession, it's something more powerful and immovable than love that takes hold in them both, and Noctis finds that he doesn't care. ]
And I told you I would not have one without the other. [ Noctis hadn't fought him on it that day, but he had not budged from it -- he will not. He doesn't stop him when he heads for the shower, only choosing to open the windows to let the air in. It's absurd in so many little ways, how Ignis doesn't say no to him, how Noctis stubbornly demands to stay. ]
