Imagine being childhood friends with Gladio and him constantly playing hero around you asking for kisses as a reward for “saving” you :3
“Hm. But you saved my kitty. Should she kiss you then?” You joked with a smile, raising the rescued kitty to be at the level of Gladio’s face.
“Uh…W-Well I can’t argue with that logic!” He laughs nervously.
Gladio tries to play it cool and lets the cat “kiss” his cheek albeit with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face. No doubt wishing it was you instead of a cat giving him a kiss.
