[It feels like everything was taken from Ignis, indeed. Except one thing. One thing that he can still cling to, one thing that could still make him go on and maybe hope for healing. And it's Noctis. His presence, his closeness is what Ignis always wanted, always needed. Now more than ever, even if it's slipping from his grasp the more the days pass.
The kiss hurts, but Ignis still welcomes it, despite it reminds him that he's in pain. He kisses back with the same kind of desperation. He's not ready to let go, and he's not sure when he'll be. Maybe never...
He pulls away for just a second to breathe, but then kisses Noctis again. His throat is tight and his heart beats like he's running away. As if he'd just realize what happened back there by the altar. They almost died back there. Noctis almost died back there. If Ignis was too late or too weak, Noctis wouldn't be here. The thought is worse than any pain Ignis could feel, even if it was just a scare. A real one, but still.
Ignis wonders if he has the right to say what's in his heart out loud. Has he earned it? Or lost it? He isn't sure at all, but as long as he can keep kissing Noct, as long as he can keep close to him, it may be fine. Maybe Ignis will tell him before they have to part, as a gift.]
I'm- I'm glad you're here.
[It bubbles from his throat instead, against Noctis' mouth.]
