"Yeah..." He nods to Prompto, letting the blond get himself situated before he wraps his arms around both of them with a gentle squeeze. Leopold even gets up onto the bed now that they've abandoned so much of it and sits down against Ignis' back, slowly oozing his way into laying down, his weight heavy and warm against both of the younger men.
"That's a start, babe." A kiss to his temple this time. "Proud of you." But he knows it won't be as easy with Ignis as Prompto. For as much as he doesn't want to burden people Prompto's issues are so close to the surface, not nearly as well hidden as he thinks sometimes. But Ignis grew up learning the careful art of hiding his emotions, always prepared to be court ready in a matter of seconds.
Gladio's not going to push for more from him, not yet. He's content just supporting him with what he can do for now. Asking for a hug is a huge step.
