The gentle comforting hc for Cor were so beautiful! Would you mind doing the same for Gladio and Ignis?

I’m glad you liked them Doll! And I most certainly can! – Apologies for the wait!

Ignis:

• When Ignis’s S/O gently comforts him the first time, he swears that it’s almost better than ebony.
• It happens after a particularly trying day, soon after they became an item.
• Ignis is beside himself, trying to juggle his duties, his obligations to Noct and time with his S/O. When he comes home he finds Dinner made and waiting for him, and his S/O smiling at him sweetly – he can feel the tension leaving his body already. They weren’t living together yet, but this, this he could possibly get used to.
• After Dinner was finished his S/O lead him to the couch in the living room, and sat down next to him. They just started to pet their fingers slowly through his hair at the back of his head, causing his eyes to flutter when they would scratch their nails just so against his scalp.
• They offer him their lap, gently patting it with their hand and he grows flustered, but with a bit of coercing, he gets talked into it, and once more he finds his S/O’s fingers are in his hair. Just that soothing, gentle, comforting touch.
• He finds that he can no longer relax unless they are petting his hair in some way, shape or form.
• Ignis keeps himself reserved, and all his emotions underwraps, and he is always amazed and bemused when his S/O can pull everything out of him that he had bottled up with just a few gentle strokes though his hair.
• Ignis does his best to comfort them in return should they need it, but he finds that they are comforting him more often than the other way around.
• However, the one thing he doesn’t let his S/O be the big spoon, because he loves to hide his face against the back of their neck when he can hold them in bed.
• When they are in public, his S/O knows he’s not big on PDA, but knows that they can ground him with a bit of comfort, just by taking his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.
• When Ignis goes blind, and Noctis disappears – he feared the worst. That due to his blindness that his S/O wouldn’t want him anymore, and it takes him a bit of time but he eventually seeks them out in Lestallum.
• When he finds them, and after a moment of silence, before he gets the chance to explain anything, his hand is brought up to their face, his gloved fingers pass slowly over their features, and Ignis’s breath hitches – they’re smiling.
• Ignis finds them taking him over to their couch, and having a seat, and he about melts when their hand finds their way into his hair. Oh, how he missed this…
• When it’s been a very rough day, Ignis will gently take his S/O by the hand and lead them to the couch, or to a private room, where he can just rest his head on their thigh and be petted by them.

Gladio:

• Gladio finds himself in awe at how gentle and comforting his S/O is, not just in how they touch him, but in how he feels when he’s around them.
• He has to be the shield all day long, it’s his duty after all, but there’s just something about the fact that when he’s around his S/O he can let his guard down and be dotted on.
• The first time he experiences their gentle touch was when he pulled them onto his lap, and he finds himself instantly addicted. Much to his S/O’s amusement, he becomes an even bigger Teddy bear than normal.
• He was tense from the day, and just wanted to hold onto them, so he pulled them onto his lap, draping them across his legs.
• He pressed his forehead against their temple and sighed, breathing in their scent but it seemed like he just couldn’t relax. He knew of another way he could ‘work’ the tension from his body, but he didn’t want his S/O to think that was all he wanted them for.
• He was surprised when they moved, and straddled his lap instead, moving his head so that he could press his face against their neck, their arms wrapped about his shoulders as one of their hands just rested at the back of his head.
• He tensed briefly, only to finally wrap his arms about their waist and draw them closer to him, clinging to them, his hands running up and under the back of their shirt, or resting on their hips.
• He finds every time he sits with them like this, it never becomes a sexual encounter, which surprises even himself. His S/O reminds him when they sit this way, that he is allowed to be weak, to let them be his rock, that he can cry if he wishes, and no one will be the wiser.
• Gladio gets addicted to these comfort sessions. And his S/O will make him blush when they point out that he’s like a puppy looking for attention.
• After his trial of Gilgamesh, and the time he is without Noctis he’s at a loss. He doesn’t believe he deserves to be comforted in that way anymore, and it actually takes his S/O being more stubborn than him to prove it that he does.
• His S/O breaks down, reminding him that no matter what he’s still human, he is allowed to feel, to be angry, upset, and sad. That he–even though he is everyone’s shield–needs to have a shield of his own.
• Gladio crumbles under their gaze, scooping them up into his arms, and hiding his face against their neck, as he wraps their legs about his waist, and he holds them there.
• When Gladio has a ‘need to be comforted’ moment, he literally will walk up to his S/O and tug on their sleeve and pout. Like lower lip jutting out pout – he says he learned it from Iris – and it works on his S/O, every time.
