[He's wondered the same thing himself. Too much and far too fast. Too soon to be able to say the words and know that he means them with every inch of himself. Things are better with her around. A little brighter. Softer yet sharper all at once. Ignis has no frame of reference for what falling in love feels like and he never imagined that it would feel quite like this, but he has no doubts about what it is.
Hadriel forces things from them in ways that he doesn't particularly appreciate, but while it may have set the groundwork for the feelings between them in certain ways, they had continued to build it on their own. He never doubts how Kate feels, even though she's never told him.
But... she tells him now. He hadn't considered how hearing it would feel. It curls in his chest, a warm weight but not an uncomfortable one, and he doesn't kiss her but pulls her close to him instead, never a single thought given for the ways she outmatches him in strength and how she could so easily resist if she wished to.]
