Ignis x Reader Insert One-shot: The Crossing

10,000 years later...

Here’s the story! Enjoy :D

Tagging @nifwrites @chocobrowrangler

“No. Absolutely not.”

The stern advisor to Crown Prince Noctis, Ignis Scientia, firmly declared and adjusted his falling spectacles.

“Whaaat?! C’mon. Ig.”

“(Y/N), you know I can’t,” the mousy brown haired man reiterated.

“Can’t or won’t?” she challenged and placed a hand on her hip. “You’re dressed for the part already. May as well play along.”

“I’m not wearing this of my own volition...” he trailed off and tried adjusting the loosely draped fabric around his chest for the umpteenth time in hopes of covering more.

Never in his life had he felt so exposed…

“I dunno ‘bout you, but I’ve never felt more like myself,” (Y/N) drolled and did a little spin in her Master Assassin robes with the hood on in case anyone recognized her.

“That’s also because your family’s in the business,” Ignis pointed out in a hushed voice.

She quickly turned around to face Ignis and shot a small glare.

“Not by choice. It was a matter of self-preservation and overthrowing the government back in the day. Anyway, back to the business at hand...”

(Y/N) gently grabbed Ignis’ arm and turned him around. She pointed up at the sky where several Assassin’s Festival goers were trying their hand at The Crossing. The task was simple: walk across one of the thick pipes of Lestallum in one go without falling.

“You’re doing it.” “I already said–” “Yeah and I’m callin’ you out on your bullshit.”

Ignis lightly pursed his lips at his childhood friend now girlfriend’s potty mouth.

“Noct and Prompto will need my help in–”

“Oh for crap’s sakes, Ig, they’re grown,” (Y/N) rolled her eyes and tiredly pointed out. “They can handle themselves and will ask for your help when they need it. And Tiny’s out chasing every skirt he can find, so relax and have a bit of fun tonight.”

“Kind of hard to do that considering Niflheim’s MTs are on every corner,” he spoke softly and furrowed his brows. His emerald green eyes quickly darted cautiously to one in his peripheral.

“Yeah well, they’re gonna be everywhere we go,” she shot back with disregard. “Are you gonna let them ruin every aspect of your life now?”

The tall spiky haired man let out a long sigh, knowing when he’s lost an argument against (Y/N).

“Maybe if I just watch them long enough...” “Watching and doing are two different things. You need muscle memory and instincts when you’re up there,” she noted. “C’mon. We’ll start off easy.”

(Y/N) took Ignis by the hand and weaved through the crowds of Lestallum with raucous sounds of cheers and laughter into a quieter alleyway; several couples could be found in secluded corners whispering things to one another. Finally finding an area big enough, she took two cinder blocks laying nearby and set them on each side. After looking for a short amount of time, she found a piece of thick PVC piping long enough to bridge the two stones. To prevent the pipe from rolling off, she placed a few pieces of broken up blocks inside the pipe for stability.

“Okay,” she huffed and dusted her hands off on each other, analyzing her handiwork. “That should be just about the right distance of the pipes. ”So what now?” Ignis asked and crossed his arms. “You walk across it. Like so.”

As if like air, (Y/N) hopped on top of the pipe and practically glided across it without hesitation; her feet barely pattered! As expected of someone of her skill and lineage, he thought. Reaching the other end of the pipe, she hopped off like a child in a playground.

“Easy peasy,” she remarked with a grin. “Any advice?” “Don’t hesitate.”

Sucking in an uneasy breath, Ignis stepped up to the plate and stared down his current enemy in the form of a dirty PVC pipe. Puffing out a tense gush of air from his lips, he gingerly took a step on the pipe. Feeling nervous perspiration pool at the crown of his hair and upper lip, he swallowed what was left of his hesitation and went for it. Gradually picking up speed, the King’s Advisor fell off of the pipe halfway across and landed on his side, kicking up dust from the ground.

Groaning loudly, he gingerly rolled to his other side and saw (Y/N)’s hand reached out to pull him back up. He dusted off the side he fell on the moment his feet firmly planted on the ground again. With a sense of determination lit up inside, Ignis kept on trying, only to fall off time and time again.

“What am I doing wrong?” he groaned out as he cleaned himself off for the ninth time. “You anticipate the fall.” “How–” “Your footing,” she noted. “You set yourself up for failure.” “Show me again,” he stated with seriousness. “Show me how you go across.”

With a small sigh, (Y/N) hopped back onto the pipe and practically went across it at a leisurely pace.

“It’s not all about speed, Ig,” she began and stood at the middle of the pipe with perfect balance. (Y/N) then turned to face Ignis and crossed her arms. “You’re overthinking it. Just see this for what it is in front of you.”

She hopped off and walked up to Ignis before taking his turn again. Placing a firm hand on his broad shoulder, (Y/N) leaned into his ear like a lover whispering naughty things.

“Take a deep breath,” she advised in an almost seductive-like hushed voice. “And let it go all at once.” “Is that supposed to mean something now, dear?” “It means whatever you want it to be, darling,” she cheekily replied with a smirk and cocked eyebrow as she sauntered off to the side.

Ignis gave his companion a curious gaze before attempting the mini-crossing again. Huffing out a short breath of air, the spectacled man stepped up to the highest stacked cinder block. Whether it was from (Y/N)’s advice or assistance from the Six, he finally managed to get across without faltering.

Ignis Scientia figured out the mechanics in dominating The Crossing.

“Again,” his companion encouraged and crossed her arms atop her chest. “Drill this feeling into your body.”

Over and over, he had done so and only stumbled once, with each time building his confidence trial after trial.

“Good. Let’s go.” “Right now?” he exclaimed. “I mean… it’s right there,” (Y/N) commented and pointed at the general direction of the obstacle course. “No time like the present.”

The tall brown haired man inhaled an uneasy breath, to which his companion walked over and held his hand.

“I’ll do it with you,” she suggested. “Would that ease your nerves?”

“No. You’ll do it flawlessly and show off by doing a few backflips like you’re on a balance beam,” he noted as a matter of factly and adjusted his spectacles.

“I was gonna try a full twist with a back handspring, actually,” she quipped with a matching smirk. Ignis let out a light chuckle.

“I think I’ll be fine by myself.” “When you pull it off, you can rub it in the Prince’s face,” (Y/N) added. “Let him get some FOMO to motivate him in taking down the Niffs faster.” “That… may actually work.” “After that, we can do the Leap of Faith.” “We–Wha–” “C’mon! To the pipes!”

(Y/N) quickly dragged the mousy brown haired man to his date with the pipe before she let him finish his thought process. Ignis Scientia inwardly prayed to the Six to keep watch of him.

And perhaps, find a way to distract his girlfriend from dragging him to the Leap of Faith.

There is nothing out there that could prepare him for a fall like that.

Ahh can I do a request? Can you do Ignix x Fem! Reader - she was childhood friends with Noct and King Regis asked her to go wih him, but to stay out of fights since she's a civilian. (She agrees because she's a chubby and jokes the only time she runs is to the cafe!) Ofc, when a fight breaks out, she sees her long-time crush Ignis in harms way, so she distracts the thing they're fighting against and gets hurt? You can decide where to go from here

I was hesitant to do this request only because I just recently did a similar one but I figured, why the heck not. I hope it’s everything you wanted.

—

It was like a slow motion movie. 

You weren’t sure what had come over you but in that moment you couldn’t control yourself. You had been doing very well to stay out of battles and stay out of trouble just as you had been instructed. After all, You had no formal combat experience. You couldn’t run fast, you couldn’t do much of anything honestly. You somehow got pulled into this crazy journey by some stroke of luck that you and Noctis were friends. So, when your legs began pulling you toward this giant monster at a speed you didn’t even know you could reach you weren’t really sure how to react. The others had somehow gotten distracted with one of the larger creatures and Ignis had gotten separated from them. He was trapped under one of the beasts large claws, struggling, and none of the others had noticed. You had always taken care to stay far from the battles, always there with potions and drinks for when the battle ended but never throwing yourself into the fray. However, Something in you snapped in this moment seeing Ignis in danger. Ever since you had met him you were smitten and seeing that ugly thing clawing at his gorgeous face made something in you do crazy things. 

So now there you were, The closest to a monster you had ever been and you were flailing your arms in the air, yelling random noises to try and distract the thing to move off of your poor crush and toward you and it was actually working. The beast lunged for you instead which was great but also, not so great because wow you hadn’t thought about what to do next and wow that thing was fast.

You don’t remember what happened next. Everything was black for a long time and then you managed to open your eyes briefly to see Ignis running toward you. You thanked the gods silently that he was alright even if you weren’t and then everything went back to being dark. Your eyes fluttered open to see Noct’s blurry face above you looking down at you. “Y/N? Hey, her eyes are open!” but they weren’t open for long and they closed again no matter how hard you tried to keep them open. The next time they did open you saw the four men carrying you quickly, mumbling words to each other or maybe they were talking but it just sounded like mumbling to you and then you were out again. 

Waking up to the sound of yourself gasping for air and feeling like throwing up was certainly not what you had expected. Truthfully you thought you were dead. That might have actually been better than what happened next. You sat up quickly from the bed you had apparently been laying in to see Ignis sitting beside you, holding your hand. You squeezed his hand tightly a look of panic in your eyes as you vomited right on your lap in the bed. This was disgusting, and painful and you were crying now and Ignis was still here, sitting next to you patting your back and holding your hair behind you as you vomited again. When it finally stopped and you caught your breath you managed to mutter out and apology but noticed the adviser was already making his way into the bathroom. By now you could pretty much come to the conclusion that you were in a hotel. Ignis made his way back to you with towels and a wet cloth for your head. 

“What happened?” You asked him and he gave you a stern look. 

“Well, I could ask you the same question.” He said as he removed the soiled blanket from on top of you replacing it with a spare one. 

“I…” You looked down feeling ashamed for a moment and as if you were being scolded. 

“No matter,” He said “You’re safe and that’s what is important.” 

“I feel like I got hit by a truck.” You said laying back against the pillows.

“Yes well, You did get trampled by a rather large Voretooth.

“I…I did?” You asked him shocked and he nodded. 

“it has been a few days since the incident.” He resumed his spot on the side of the bed.

“A few days?” You asked with your face dropping and feeling as though you were about to cry. What have you done? Not only did you get injured and make a fool of yourself but you delayed their trip by a few days. 

“It’s alright.” Ignis assured you seeing that you were obviously in distress. “No one is upset about that fact that we had to take a few days rest, They will just be happy to see that you’ve awoken.” 

You breathed a sigh of relief which made you wince with pain from your ribs. 

“I think it would be best for us to stay a few more days until you’re fully recovered.” 

“N-no I’m fine. We can’t take any more time away from our trip. I’ve already messed things up enough.” You said shaking your head and Ignis took your head reassuringly causing a hint of pink to flash across your cheeks,

“We will stay until you’re fully healed.” He said sternly and you nodded not having the strength to argue. 

“Y/N, I do have a question for you, if you’re feeling up to it of course.” Ignis said tilting his head in concern. 

You nodded. You and Ignis had chatted many times before but you always tried to make it seem friendly and not as though it was because you were interested romantically in him. There was no time for romance, you all had a mission to complete. Besides, you didn’t have a chance with him. He was gorgeous and tall and perfect and you were well…none of those things.

“As brave as it was of you to distract the beast to save me, I must ask what possessed you to take such dangerous actions?” 

You tried to think of a lie. Anything that you could say that would be better or less embarrassing than the truth. Your mind was blank, however and your face started to turn red.

“Well, I…I saw you were in trouble and I just…I didn’t want to see something terrible happen to you.” You said looking down again.

“So it was better to have something happen to you?”

“Me? I’m nothing, Iggy. Nothing special, not like you. I have always admired you and thought you were amazing. I’m replaceable but you…Noct needs you, and so does everyone else.” Now tears were threatening to fall from your eyes and you squeezed Ignis’ hand. 

“You are very mistaken if you think you are nothing special. You are very special.” Ignis said turning toward you. “You are so unique, there is something very endearing about your personality and how carefree you are even though you are aware that you do not possess the skills to fight with us. You are always there to brighten our spirits and offer support. Those are all things that make you special.” 

If it was possible for your face to get any more red then it was happening. “Thank you, Ignis.” 

He nodded and leaned in to kiss your cheek which caused you to tremble a little. You wondered if he had realized your rather large crush on him from this conversation but you figured he did. He was very observant after all. 

“I’ll inform the other’s that you’re awake.” He said standing up and exiting the room. 

You placed your hand lightly on the cheek he had kissed with a smile. ignis had said you were special and he complimented you. Maybe it wasn’t so bad that your heart had decided to throw you in harms way to save him. You were lucky to be alive but at least this turn of events had provided you with a nice moment with your crush. 

Maybe you would have to start listening to your silly heart more often.
