[There's no other place Ignis would rather be it but Noct's apartment, bed, always somewhere close to him. He had always gravitated towards him before they even got like this. Ignis was never sure why, but he didn't question it, because it seemed pointless.
He helps Noct out a bit to get them covered, making sure the blankets are tucked in nicely around Noct's back. He will definitively be up to some ~play~ time after he had a nap; his body is actually feeling really heavy right now. Once Noct's settled in properly, Ignis doesn't move a muscle, feeling himself relax into Noct's arms.]
I wish it were just one thing, [he says quietly, after a soft sigh.] It is just a bunch of small things, piling up over time. [Ignis presses a short kiss to Noct's lips,] Nothing I can't handle- just a poor timing is all.
[Snuggled up close like this, he can feel the gradual lassitude in Ignis' body and knows that sleep won't be far behind. He'll have to sneak Ignis' phone out of his jacket pocket and put it on silent mode for a while, plus send out some strongly worded suggestions that various people leave his advisor alone for the next eight hours so the man won't be tempted to work.
He's done it before, although not without a resultant scolding when Ignis finally catches up on his text messages.]
Whether you can handle it or not, I feel like I gotta point out that you're allowed to take a break once in a while. [He nuzzles just under the other man's chin.] In fact, breaks are highly encouraged.
[And this is why Ignis hasn't gone mad until now- Noctis secretly taking care of him behind Ignis' back. He will grumble when he finds out about it later, but he will be very grateful. A warm feeling of being taken care of, regardless of how small it seems, it lingers in his chest every time, for days. Like some kind of fuel.
The messages, however, will always get a scolding though. Noct, that's rude!]
I am aware of that, Noct. I just... fall into a routine. [One that doesn't have breaks included most of the time.] But I suppose I should incorporate more breaks like this, with you in my arms. I am but a fool not doing so.
I don't think foolish is a word I could ever use to describe you, Specs.
[Which is why Ignis indulges him in these 'mini-breaks' when Noct presses the issue, and maybe he needs to start pressing the issue more if it's going to get him snuggled up in bed with his lover like this.]
Pressing the issue all the time would be bad idea, but if it's done at the right moment, Ignis will yield without much complaint (except initial one, that's just his thing). He loves holding Noctis more than anything in this world, and if he can find an excuse outside of 'it's evening, they need to sleep', he'll happily do it.]
I can't disagree with that. But at times I need it.
[And then suffer from crashes. Thank you for being there, Noct.]
My coffee pot is always open to you. Mostly 'cause I don't really know how to work it myself...
[Look, he got the fanciest model because that's just what you do when they give you an apartment with all the bells and whistles included, but that doesn't mean that he ever learned how any of his kitchen gadgets and doodads actually function.
That's what Ignis is for (among other essential things.]
I think there's some of that dark roast beans you like still in the cupboard.
Perhaps Ignis should get Noctis a juice maker or something since he doesn't like coffee. He still doubts Noctis would actually use it actively instead of snatching sodas and all, but he can at least try?]
I will make some later when I prepare food.
[Lunch, dinner- whichever time they wake up at later.]

Maybe a little over-caffeinated at times.
