Okay, so, I'm hoping for something a little angsty and dramatic, where Gladio is Noct's first crush on a guy and he thinks he's being subtle about it (more like, desperately trying to deny he's attracted while also trying to sneak covert glances at Gladio's hot bod). But Gladio figures it out and is hella uncomfortable.
He over-reacts about it, in that angry, saving face/fragile masculinity way that young guys do when one of their peers turns out to be gay and ~*gasp*~ has a crush on them, oh no~ and it's basically awkward af, because Gladio is supposed to be Noct's Shield but now he doesn't want to be anywhere near him.
Bonus points for:
+Adult intervention from Gladio's dad, and Regis. +Ignis being in the awkward position of being the one both Gladio and Noct vent to. +It not ending in Noct/Gladio, but it eventually ends up with Noct being secure in his orientation enough to want to start something up with Prompto years later.
