Ignis is frankly a little surprised himself, but it almost hurts to hold back now that he's realized what he was missing all those years that he walled himself off and focused solely on Noctis. He has so much catching up to do and there is part of him that is afraid, deep down, Gladio will vanish just like Soma did.

Fortunately, it's hard to focus on such depressing thoughts with Gladio so close and the smoothness of the chocobo egg under his fingertips, "A blue chocobo to go with the brown and black. Lovely Petal, I don't know what to say." He leans down toward Gladio to press a kiss against his lips, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You didn't have to do this for me."
