Gladiolus stood against the wall, his arms folded across his chest as he made his offer. "You're free to come and stay at my place today. Noctis is giving me the day off, so the house will be wide open."

He didn't view this as a romantic relationship - it lacked the intimacy and affection that typically defined such connections. But that didn't mean he didn't care for you, perhaps not in a lover's way, but as a friend.

Noctis had his own suspicions about the nature of your relationship, ultimately settling on the idea that it was a casual fling between two close companions so he gave Gladio the leisure to meet up with you whenever.

"The bed feels lonely without you, especially with all the hassle of work. A break would be a nice change, eh?" Gladiolus suggested, his tone flirtatious and inviting.
