Dating Ignis Scientia

sergeantnospecs1:

I know no one requested this, but I was talking with a friend the other night and wanted to put together my own head canon of what it’s like to date Ignis Scientia. NSFW and breaking up under the cut

The Crush

• At first, he thinks he just enjoys
  their company, he’s completely oblivious to the fact that he has a crush since
  just the idea of having one is completely preposterous.
• He doesn’t find out until Prompto
  points it out to him then his world is shattered
• After that, he begins paying
  attention closer to his feelings around them.
• As he establishes his feelings, he
  begins to flirt. He’s not outright with his feelings when he flirts. His
  flirting is subtle and gentlemanly.
• He compliments them almost
  continuously, when he gets a compliment in return is when he gets flustered,
  adjusting his glasses and stuttering. Maybe, if he’s complimented just right,
  he gets a little blush
• He will do all he can to ensure
  his crush isn’t weighed down. Holds doors, carries anything heavy, offering
  words of encouragement when needed.
• When he finally admits his
  feelings and asks for a date, he is very flustered. He had the whole thing
  planned in his mind as to what he was going to say, but the sight of his S/O
  made all those plans fly out the window. He manages to get out the words, but
  the whole time he’s adjusting his glasses and stuttering.
• When his feelings are returned,
  all the nervousness goes away and he apologizes for being so nervous.

First Date

• He plans the whole night. Dinner,
  a movie, dessert, then if the evening is still young, a walk around the royal
  flower garden to talk. (Noctis and Co. may or may not be eavesdropping on them)
• He finds out (or already knows)
  what their favorite flower is and starts the evening off by picking his S/O up,
  a bouquet ready in his hands. Or if they don’t like flowers he finds out what
  they do like and brings that. It’s against his very being to not show up with
  something.
• Spends most of the night telling
  his S/O that he finds them cute/adorable/beautiful/intelligent, but in subtle
  ways. Complimenting them if they talk about something that happened at work. If
  they worry about their outfit, “You look beautiful, darling.”
• He stays at a respectable
  distance, but isn’t one to turn down physical affection (hand holding, his hand
  on the small of their back).
• At the end of the evening, he
  walks/drives them to their home and walks them to their door.
• While he wants to give them the
  first kiss, he’s a gentleman and waits until their ready to make that step,
  opting instead to kiss the back of their hand.
• After dropping them off and
  heading home, he sends a text telling them how much fun he had.
• Spends the rest of the night
  texting back and forth until they say they are going to bed.

Dating

• While he’s not worried about the
  public finding out he’s dating, he’s also not over the top with PDA (full blown
  making out) but he’s not afraid to hold their hand or place a gentle kiss on
  their forehead/cheek/lips. If they don’t hold hands in public, his hand is most
  likely at the small of their back.
• He’s respective of their space.
  Usually he’s not the one to initiate the first contact (first kiss, first time
  making love).
• He’s careful to not let his
  partner feel rushed and lets them set the pace. He also ensures his partner
  knows this so they aren’t left worrying about their relationship.
• Always willing to try new things
  with his partner if they suggest it. Sometimes introduces his partner to
  something new that he discovered (a new recipe(h), a book, music, a movie).
• He never misses a chance to tell
  them he cares and after they exchange “I love you” he never misses a chance to
  tell them again that he loves them.
• It’s not an easy thing for him to
  admit he loves them. Throughout the whole relationship he’s constantly aware of
  his feelings, trying to decipher if he’s in love or not. But the more time he
  spends with them, the more he realizes how in love he is with them.
• He fully realizes it when he sees
  them smile at him and he thinks, “I truly love you.”
• While he does call his partner by
  their name, he also uses pet names (darling, dear, love, (and if he is feeling frisky)
  kitten). Never uses babe or baby but doesn’t mind if his partner decides to
  call him that.
