[His breath hitches a little, the faintest of sniffles, when Ignis gets so insistent about his part in it all. Gladio sighs, deflates further against him. This time it's Gladio that switches hands, his arm slipping under Ignis' to wrap around him, hand resting on his opposite hip and tugging him in closer. His other hand crosses over to go back to holding Ignis' hand.
There's something about what he's said that makes it clear that Ignis is taking too much of this on himself.]
Iggy... I haven't told you everything, okay. Don't blame yourself too much.
[Fine, he can at least tell him that much. That there's more but he's not ready to talk about it. Maybe it will make it easier for Ignis to give him a little space. Emotionally anyway. Physically Gladio wants Ignis as close to him as possible, wants to hold him and remind himself that however strange things are, here at least, he's not alone.]
