[ Noctis is humming, he's aware of the song, and he's sliding a hand up under his shirt, resting over Ignis' stomach. He loves this, he thinks, the softness in his eyes, the tenderness in his voice. He's leaning down to give him a soft kiss for his trouble, then, hooked, goes for another, and another, unable to help himself. ]
Give me a minute, then; I'm not certain how well this will scan...
[He closes his eyes, basking in the attention, as slowly he calls up the words of the song and fits new ones to it, turning the sounds over and over in his mind until he's sufficiently changed the meaning from a less palatable one to something softer.]
♪ As a gesture may go, this isn't grand, But I need you close 'cause I'm just a man, Though our lives never seem to go to plan, I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need, Is this love? We'll...wait and see, But darling, stay with me... ♫
[ And it's perfect. The choice of song, the way he carries a tune, lovely and rich and so full of meaning and emotion that Noctis cannot help but be charmed, delighted by the sweetness of his voice.
He makes a soft noise and nuzzles against him, warmed by such a simple, powerful gesture. It might be love, Ignis croons, and Noctis hopes with all of his heart that it is. ]
I suppose I will, now that you've made such improvements to the song. That takes effort.
[ And skill, skill that Ignis possesses in wonderful abundance. His hand comes back down to look for his, then, threading his fingers with his now -- holding it the way he's always wanted but never found the right opportunity to. And it feels really, really good. ]
[But they're settling now, and he can feel it; Noct is basking in the warmth of his attention, and their fingers are intertwined, and later they might not be able to stay this way but for now, there's nothing to stop them from enjoying it.]
[ Noctis is most definitely basking, settling into the warmth of Ignis and savoring the wonder of the person that he is and what they've discovered together.
He's lifting their joined hands for closer inspection, settling atop Ignis and studying just how they fit together. ]
Yeah, you are. Fighting, planning, cooking, and now singing. What can't you do?

[Still, he's leaning into the hand on his face, watching Noctis through soft green eyes.]
But if it's what you want, then of course I will.
