"Even if I was in the habit, I wouldn't say anything I didn't mean to you." Gladio turns his head to kiss Ignis' temple. "Especially not now. I know you need something to ground you. Someone you can rely on. That's my job."
And considering the love and devotion with which both Gladio and Ignis approach their actual jobs, referring to his role as Iggy's boyfriend as a job is anything but belittling. It's almost a term of reverence, for men like them.
He glances sidelong at Iggy at that last statement, with a faint quirk of his lips. "How to share me with Noct?" he asks. "Or how to share Noct with me?"
Personally, Gladio isn't really sure which of those things Iggy will struggle with more. But he thinks acknowledging that both are things he'll struggle with is more accurate than implying there's only the one issue. "But either way...I don't think it'll be as hard as you think. Haven't we all been kind of sharing each other for years regardless? I don't know that the nature of the sharing changing is really going to change that much about how it looks or feels, in the end. I wouldn't be surprised if in a lot of ways, it feels pretty similar to how it's always been. Not like I was planning on engaging in any sloppy PDA with one of you in front of the other or anything."
