Perhaps this is revenge for him teasing Gladio before, but if it is, Ignis doesn't care. He barely gets that one word out of his mouth and then Gladio is everywhere. He can't even catch his breath, one wave of sensation not even reaching its crescendo before another is rising to overwhelm it. If Gladio's aim is to keep him from being able to speak, then he's achieved it and then some. The sounds that fall from his lips are nowhere near words. Even getting the Shield's name out is beyond him right now.

When Gladio moves back to lift his legs, Ignis hands fall away from him. Oh, he could still reach the Shield's shoulders if he tried, but he doesn't have the focus for such a complicated motion. Instead, his fingers curl into the bedding beneath him and if it's all that is keeping him from flying away. As a testament to his flexibility, he curls one leg back his toes dig into Gladio's back.

Gladio might be teasing, he might be taking Ignis apart bit by bit, but all signs point to him wanting every bit of it and more.
