[ he chuckles softly at that, savouring the optimism that he feels -- he hasn't felt that from albert before, not like this, and he softens. surely mitsuki is an incredible inspiration and influence on him, which pleases ignis -- after all, albert deserves only the best.
pleased to be his confidant, he reaches to touch his cheek, lips trailing over the elegant line of his throat. ]
This is the first time I've felt you like this.
[ ignis murmurs, pressing up closer against his lover, his thumbs stroking over his nipples just to tease him. ]
I love that you want to make a beautiful world for him. But what about you? What do you want for yourself in this world?
[A content little sound comes from Albert, a thoughtful little hum. He doesn't think he deserves the best at all, but he's so captivated by these incredible people that he can't just stand still in life, even far from home, even in the face of the unknown.]
You.
[Sighing at the touches and kisses, Albert lets his weight rest against the wall.]
No, that's not all. [A slight laugh.] I want to make a difference. If I think of myself, I'll end up becoming a monster again, won't I? It isn't something I can simply stop being.

as charmed as he is by that flirtatious banter, ignis is also concerned about him -- albert has always put everyone else first; it seems he isn't used to thinking about himself. he gently grasps his chin, making albert look at him. ]
What makes you think you haven't made a difference?
[He can admit that easily enough. He was thinking of William, and of the state of Britain. Nothing could have stopped them, because Albert cared for them far more than for himself.
His eyes focus on Ignis, and his eyes lose a bit of their brightness at the question.]
Here? Darling, I've done little of value here. I've made two men I don't deserve fall for me, and I've whiled away my time in volunteer work, but...
