Gladio hums in appreciation, smile audible in his voice as he lets his other arm wind around Ignis's waist, encouraging the press back against him. His own hips rock forward in response and he rests his chin against the other man's shoulder.
"Was that meant to be a yes? It sorta sounded like a yes. Just with a lot more words and speculation involved."
Ignis lets out an amused grunt of laughter in reply, playfully elbowing the man behind him before he turns in full, reaching up to rest his hand at the back of his neck.
"Don't be an ass," he tells him, though his tone is all warm affection, and he pulls Gladio down to meet him as he leans in and seals their lips together, making his answer perfectly clear.
Gladio lets himself be tugged willingly, bending slightly to meet the kiss with a smile on his lips. The elbow had done little damage or dimmed his humor at all and his chuckle can still be heard, despite being muffled against Ignis' mouth. he lingers there, enjoying the intimacy they haven't had opportunity for in too long now.
Still, when they pause for a breath, he can't help but tease.
"Can't help it. And I still didn't hear a 'yes' in there, either."
He steals another kiss for himself, this one longer than the first, drawn-out, his fingers sliding upwards to knot themselves in Gladio's hair. He's always been a private person, a man who prefers to keep much of his personal life under careful guard, but being unable to freely touch and taste Gladio the last several weeks has been growing maddening. They steal time together whenever their merry band stops at a motel for the night, but they've been on the road and camping for near a week now, and Ignis isn't quite reckless enough to risk waking their companions in the middle of the night by satisfying his needs in a shared tent.
"Yes," he says finally, the word murmured against Gladio's mouth in turn. "Best make use of the time we have."
"We are long, long long overdue," Ignis agrees, and as tempted as he is to draw Gladio into another kiss there by the firepit, he realizes that their time now is far too valuable to waste. He lets himself be lead, though it takes very little convincing, and he offers Gladio a warm and knowing smile as he coolly slips past him and into the tent, squeezing his hand as he passes before releasing it.
"I could stand to be reminded of simplicity's merits more often," he goes on, carefully removing his glasses and setting them aside, safely out of the way. He wouldn't stop Gladio if he chose to get rough with their clothing, but his glasses weren't quite so easily replaced, at least not immediately.
Gladio steps in behind him, crouched a little to fit beneath the ceiling of the tent. He moves to crown into Ignis' personal space once more and this time when his hand snakes around the other man's waist, it's to slip fingers up beneath the hem of his shirt, seeking out the warm skin of his stomach as he splays his fingers there, a teasing caress and a weighted pressure. His lips tickle against the curve of Ignis' ear a moment before he allows a scrape of teeth.
"You have too many clothes on. Gonna get rid of the rest too?"
He leans back against Gladio's solid weight, more relaxed than their other companions often had the opportunity to see him, sliding a hand to rest over Gladio's against his own stomach. The teasing lips against his ear and the hard brush of teeth make it difficult to be patient, especially when it's likely that their time is somewhat limited, but he doesn't have it in him to rush just yet. The next time they had the luxury of staying in a motel, he would be able to afford to be more methodical, but for now he might have to settle for something in-between.
"Get rid of your jacket and then we'll see to the rest."
Gladio's lips curve into a smirk against Ignis' skin before he steps back to obey, shrugging out of his jacket and then the shirt underneath, dropping them carelessly onto one of the sleeping bags spread across the floor of the tent.
He stands there in only his jeans and boots, propping his hands on his hips as he gives Ignis an expectant grin.
Ignis grabs his own shirt by the hem, tugging it upwards and pulling it off over his head, casting it aside before he closes the space between them once more. There's more clothing to remove, but he finds it hard to keep himself from twining his arms around the other man's waist, leaning in to press a warm, open-mouthed kiss against the side of his neck before slowly working his way up.
They've been in the wilderness for days, and both of them are sure to taste of sweat and dirt and dust, but he doesn't care.
"Better," he remarks approvingly, trailing one finger down the length of Gladio's chest and abdomen to circle his navel.
Gladio gives a low groan when Ignis wraps around him, his mouth finding already-heated flesh and for a moment his head falls back, eyes sliding closed as he just soaks up the glorious feel of it, of having nothing between him and the slide of Ignis' flesh and the all-too-present awareness of how long it's been.
"Much," Ignis assures him, his lips forming the word against his jaw before he works his way to his lips, one thumb hooking lightly against the back of Gladio's jeans, stroking at the dip in his lower back. "Do you have any idea how maddening it is to have to keep my distance?"
"I might have an idea." There's a note of wry humor in his voice at that as he lets his hands slide down Ignis' sides before sweeping inwards to thumb open the button of his jeans, sliding the fabric out of the way of his questing fingers.

His answer is grinned against Ignis' lips as he indulges in the kiss before taking a step backwards and tugging the other man along with him.
"Besides, I think we both deserve a bit of private time, don't you?"
