Our Little Secret [Ignis x Gladiolus]

The Rough Start

Nobody said a word as Ignis drove to Hammerhead. They had discovered that Noctis' father was murdered and had no idea where to even begin. The younger of the group, Prompto was trying to think of ways to make him feel better. 

"Don't worry Noctis we will reclaim your kingdom." Ignis said lightly in hopes of making him feel better. Noctis said nothing and looked out the side of the Regalia. Gladiolus sighs and looks back at him.

"I promise we will stand by your side and help you overcome this. We will take the crystal back." He promised. Noctis perked up and slightly nods. 

"Ignis it's getting dark lets find a camp." The prince commanded. Ignis was more that happy to obey. Something about cooking on a camping grill made gave him life. He had hoped to cook something that Noctis would enjoy so he would feel better and knowing Prompto he was taking good pictures for the prince. 

 The cook pulled over and everyone got out. They headed into the trees for the near by safe haven from the demons of the night. 

 Prompto was the first to find it. "Over here!" He runs to the glowing flat boulder and climbs up as the others walk up the easy way. Gladiolus chuckles and shakes his head as he watches the blonde climb to the top. "That was the hard way you know." The man stated. Prompto just gave a playful glare and started helping set up camp. Once finished Ignis started to cook as the others conversed.

"So whats the plan?" Gladio asks. 

"Maybe we should talk to Cor." Prompto answers.

"We don't even know if he is okay." Noctis says in a sad tone.

"Well could we call him?"

"We should wait. Right noct? 

 Noctis said nothing and looks away into the forest. Ignis serves the food but Noctis shakes his head and goes to the tents. "Sorry specks but I'm not really hungry" Ignis watches him and sighs before sitting down with Prompto and Gladiolus to eat.  Once they were done Ignis took the dishes and washed them. They climbed into the little tent only to find out that in order to fit okay Ignis had to press against the side of the tent but even then he was almost up against Gladiolus. He blushes deeply and tries to sleep. Ignis felt uncomfortable this close and he had no idea why but he also felt something different. Something in his heart. He shook it off and closed his eyes.  They slept that night unaware of the adventure that followed could possibly be their last.
