This should be familiar by now. Wherever Iggy is, whatever he's doing, the tiger lily that has been absent all afternoon slinks over to him, butting his head into one hip, demanding pettings that rustle the limp dry leaves in his fur dangerously. He rumbles a curious sound, gently tugging at the hem of Ignis' shirt. Leo is a little slower than usual, a little less insistent than he'd normally be. The desert heat is dangerous for all of them but the lilies are struggling far more than the others. If Ignis is observant he may feel a damp patch of fur in the big cat's ruff.

So maybe Gladio had let himself cry over his kitten for awhile earlier.

Gradually Leo will lead him to one of the group therapy rooms, pawing the door open and nudging him towards the cushy armchair beside the desk and Gladio settled on the floor beside it, on his knees waiting to see if Ignis would even answer Leo's coaxing or if he was still too mad to face him.

There's a fleeting moment there where his imagination gets the better of him and even Gladio has the decency to blush slightly, clearing his throat and glancing aside.

"Not saying never just... stick to blow jobs till we can get our hands on something safer than shitty expired conditioner."

[broplaints]

Thanks a lot, Gladio. Thanks to you he's never going to convince this boy to have sex with him. No matter how much proper lube they're able to find.

"Haven't you traumatized him enough?" He's pulling the sheet down to his neck now, glaring at Gladio through the fall of his bangs.

But at least he's merciful enough to reach up and grab Prompto's hand and tug him down so he can hide between him and the wall.

"No one is fucking anyone."

Prompto went down and just quickly buried his face. Okay, it hadn't been totally useless. He didn't really know about the potential massive blood loss or anything, but now it was kind of worrying. Not that they'd been about to go through with it anytime soon. He was still just getting used to the idea of dating a guy, and wasn't sure if that would even last considering the circumstances. Maybe it'd turn out Noct was just desperate for affection after losing Lunafreya.

"Okay."

He wasn't sure what to say. He wasn't mad at Gladio, he was just way too embarrassed for this kind of talk.

[piercetheheart]

Gladio just runs a hand through his hair, giving them both a look. Y'know what they say boys, if you can't talk about it you shouldn't be doing it.

"Okay okay, I'm done. Just... want you guys to be careful." Aaaand he slides off the desk, stuffing that entire second twinkie in his face to toss the wrapper in the trash can by the desk. He's goin, he's goin.

[broplaints]

Did you seriously just deep throat a twinkie, Gladio? Because he is never going to get that image out of his mind now.

He shifts, leaning in close to Prompto to whisper that he'll be right back, before actually hauling himself up, like he's going to see Gladio to the door. And then lock it the moment he's gone.

Once they're out into the hallway, he closes the door a bit behind them, trying to keep Prompto from getting anymore embarrassed.

"Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, big guy. But seriously, we're not there yet. And when we are, I promise, we'll be careful." A deep, very long suffering sigh. "After I get Ignis to talk to him and undo all the trauma you just inflicted. Did you and Liam draw straws for the big brother talk?"

[piercetheheart]

Nah he shoved that shit in his mouth sideways. It's cool. No need to traumatize you guys more. He's surprised when Noct follows him out into the hall and he takes the opportunity to sling an arm around his shoulders and squish him.

"You're young... not there yet and got carried away can be the difference of one too many kisses. Not judging just.. things happen. So before they happen and someone gets hurt I just wanted to... help..." Because as much as Prompto has told him no he still really does care about this sweet sunshine boy and he wants to do what he can to make sure everything is good the first time they do go there. It's part of his weird slut- no harlot nature. He wants to take care of people and that devolves into a lot of caring by sex.

Prompto's off limits but he can still help a little?

"C'mon if anyone's big brothering at you two it's gonna be me. 'side I dunno that Liam's up for doing much of anything just yet." Please don't mind that all too satisfied little smirk.

[broplaints]

You have no idea just how off limits Prompto is, Gladio. That is his precious little ray of sunshine and he will fight you for him.

"You know Ignis already talked to me about this stuff a long time ago, right?" Because of course he had. Ignis had always made certain he was prepared for anything. "I know you're trying to help. Just... next time lay off the graphic detail a bit."

Jesus Fucking Christ.

"Listen, Gladio, I'm glad you had a good time, but I don't need to know."
