[ Despite the chocked out sob he'd let out, he takes a steady breath and gets himself somewhat under control. Tears roll freely down his cheeks. He doesn't want to cry, gods, he'll have more time for that later.
He hopes that he can see the world too, if he can't, then being in this dream world with Noctis was enough. Just to see and live in a world of color just for a fleeting moment. Noctis said he'll try to help Ignis in that way. He still believes in him.
As the hug gets broken up a bit, curious eyes watch Noctis grab a hold of his cheeks and he lets himself be pulled into that kiss. It's slow and soft, so different from their other shared kisses. Ignis understands, it's their way to say goodbye to each other. He can't bring himself to voice it either.
He lets his sadness and grief show, his love and care, the longing and the tenderness in his heart in this simple kiss. He doesn't want this moment to end, but he knows in his heart that it has to.
After a time, he pulls back, breaking apart the kiss and leans his forehead against Noctis'. ] Lay with me, Noct? And watch the stars?
[Noctis quietly makes an agreeable noise in response, closing his eyes and leaning in against Ignis' forehead, indulging in his presence and their close proximity. He doesn't know how long they have, but... after Altissia, he'd never thought they would be able to do this again. This is quite literally a dream come true.
With a quiet nudge to Ignis' chest, he urges him to lie back, falling with him to rest against the blanket, winding Ignis' arm around him to use as a pillow, their hands twined together, his eyes on the sky above.]
...beautiful...
[A beautiful dream. And... not such a terrible way to go, really.]
[His sleepy voice is already giving him away; he's Noctis Lucis Caelum, he can nap anywhere, anytime. Plus, he has the best pillow in the world right now.
He tries to focus on the stars, memorizing the constellations as best as he can with Ignis at his side, until at last he dozes off- content, safe, happy. He's loved and with his dearest friend. What better place could there ever be?]

It's bittersweet really. He has a sneaky feeling that it's almost time for them to wake up in the real world. What a way to go. ]
Indeed. [ he whispers quietly as he watches the stars above them. ]
.... Thank you for everything, Noct. [ Noctis has helped him come to terms with this.
A small smile plays on his face though. ] Don't fall asleep on me now. [ he teases gently, wanting to lighten the mood. ]

I'm totally gonna. You asked for this.
[They both know he doesn't last long, once he's horizontal. Or sitting up. Or leaning on something...
Honestly, considering they're already asleep, it's a miracle he lasted this long.]
...You're welcome, Iggy. [He hopes that it's enough.]

Even with a half can of Ebony? [ Then again, Noctis can have all of the sugar and crash out hard.
It's more than enough, Ignis is quite content to keep watching the stars until they pass out here together. ]
