Long time ago in a galaxy far far away  instead of working on my thesis, my mind wandered in other universes and this scenario popped out. I then decided to write it down and then translate it since i wrote in italian, I hope i did well since it’s my first drabble ever! Hope you enjoy it!

Gladio woke up welcomed by
the dim light of dawn; he closed his eyes for a moment because of the
brightness and then glanced at the person lying beside him. Ignis was
still asleep, unaffected by the sun slowly illuminating the room and
by Gladio, who was looking at him with love, lips curved in a smile.

They arrived in Lestallum
by late afternoon after a  long road trip often disrupted by  fights
against daemons and they then had dinner late in the evening because
Ignis had to go to the market to find some ingredients for  a new
recipe. Such recipe wasn’t much appreciated by Noctis who, as usual,
moved aside the vegetables on his plate despite his adviser’s
reprimands and exasperated sighs.

After dinner, they were
all exhausted so once back in their room Ignis and Gladio didn’t talk
much; after some mumbling about his highness’ repulsion towards
vegetables, the adviser quickly fell asleep.

The sun filled the room
and Gladio’s smile deepened: he was mesmerized by the way the light
was hitting Ignis’ peaceful face and playing with his features. The
adviser’s regular and soft breath was the only perceivable sound in
the room. Time had stopped, even the clock stilled; suddenly they
weren’t in a hotel in Lestallum but in a calm and ethereal cloud, far
away from noise, daemons and pain. That place belonged to them alone,
bathing in light.

Then Gladio sneezed.

He instantly pressed his
hand on the mouth, his loving gaze turning into a horrified one. Like
a kid hoping his mother didn’t notice he just broke her precious and
favourite vase, Gladio held his breath hoping Ignis didn’t hear the
thunder-like sneeze, despite being well aware of his beloved’s light
sleep.

“Gladiolus?” Ignis
opened his eyes.

“Fuck!”

The way Ignis called his
name reminded him when he swapped his plate with Noctis’.
