It wasn't uncommon for Ignis to be out late at night. Between his work and keeping an eye on his charge, nights were definitely something he was used to, though most would say he was a creature better suited to the sunlight. Most of the time, he just offered those that dared say anything a cool stare and his back as he moved on past them. It wasn't really him being rude. He simply didn't have the time for such silliness. Not when there were always things to do.

On nicer nights, he would walk himself home from Noctis' and tonight was no different. The moon was close to being full, if not already full, and the night was pleasantly warm. The walk might be longer than most would like, but he enjoyed the chance to have some peace and quiet while mulling over the business of the day. Court politics could anger the calmest among them and the chance to think things through had left Ignis better able to handle such things.

"Mm, me too. Besides, I can just lay all over you now."

The mood is nice, and Gladio already adores this. This little vacation from their lives that they are going to have every month from now on, barring emergencies. Time for just him and Ignis to enjoy each other while not doing pack duties.

"And I wouldn't want it any other way, my mate."

He'd always loved those words, but now, hearing Gladio calling him his mate meant so much more. There had been no doubt of the big man's love for him, but now, there was something more there. A new, unshakable bond between them that quietly thrilled Ignis as much as it worried him. He worried that this bond between them might harm Gladio's status, or cause Noctis some trouble in some offhand way, but Ignis had always been one to overthink things. That was why Gladio was such a good partner for him. He rarely let him get too deep into his own head.

There was a soft, muffled snort into Ignis' mug as he quickly finished that one off, already readying himself to get up and get more of that rich, bitter liquid he loved so.

"I think I should be the one laying on you. You're bigger, after all."

"You can come back to bed with me after we eat and we can make it happen."

His eyes are soft toward him even as he continues eating, meaning every word of it. Gladio looks all too relaxed in their kitchen and drags a hand over bare skin as his lover gets back from getting more coffee, pulling him into his lap like he had the night before.

"Mm, and you know I haven't gotten my proper good morning kiss either, sleepyhead."

Another grunt from Ignis and sure enough, a hand moved to settle two fingers on Gladio's lips while his other hand was busy delivering that life-giving liquid that Ignis could be downright waspish if he didn't get enough of it. There was no protest about being dragged into Gladio's lap again, just a pointed reminder that coffee is necessary.

"Coffee first. Then kisses."

A chuckle from behind the man, and Gladio lets him go with no issue, amused but well prepared for the man's antics after living together for so long.

"Anything you want, babe."

And Gladio is content to stay where he is, be his chair and also eat the food Ignis picks at.

Breakfast was something that younger Ignis usually went without. Oh, he chided Noctis when he tried to go without or grab something unhealthy, but never really took his own advice. It took time for all of his beloved friends to wear him down and convince him to start taking better care of himself (and to understand that caffeine was not a food group that he could survive on).

It took him a few minutes, but he finally started to wake up, and the more awake he was, the more he tucked into his breakfast even though he offered up quick bites to Gladio, clearly used to sharing with his lover.

"I'm not sure I'm ever going to get used to this sleeping in nonsense. I feel like I've wasted the morning."

... it was barely past 8 and Ignis was fussing.

"Not a waste if you spend it with me, Iggy."

Rumbled out happily as the man eats offered bites. Their days start early so he can't fault him for the time, but they have all morning and afternoon to spend just to themselves. And Gladio intends to make the most of it.

"Better yet, not a waste if you're spoiling me either."

Few would ever think someone like Ignis could be content, but few ever got to see this side of him. Their precious little 'family' did, more often than most, and while recent events had turned Ignis' life upside down in so many ways, he was starting to settle into his new life as a were. Gladio had been such a huge help to get him to that point and while he knew the big man was aware of his gratitude, he went out of his way to try and find ways to express it as much as he could.

Once his second cup of coffee was done, he shifted enough to properly kiss his mate good morning, the rest of his omelette forgotten for the moment.

"Mm. Do you need spoiling?"

Gladio is finished eating by the time Ignis moves around to settle in his lap, a happy noise escaping as he sets his hands on his lover's waist. Ignis has enough Ebony in his system to be his normal self, but the mood has left them both soft and generous to each other.

"Mm, from you? Always." Half lidded eyes peek up at him, softness that he only shows Ignis and his family in hazel eyes.

"You're the only one I want to be spoilrd by."

That look from Gladio was enough to make his chest ache. Their love was no secret to anyone that really knew them, but Ignis knew that no one really knew how deep it went. Even now, after years together, Gladio could still make his breath catch and not just sexually. When he was a younger man, that depth of emotion frightened Ignis since he was always one to be so orderly and self-contained. Now, he relished every moment he could just be with his lover, no expectations being held over him.

Sighing softly, he reached up and let his fingers drift along the scar on Gladio's handsome face.

"I certainly hope so. I don't like to share."

"I know baby, you're as bad as me."

He chuckles softly, nuzzling into his touch as the man traces over his scar. He presses a kiss into the pad of his finger before nipping at it lightly, skin to skin except for the boxers he was wearing. It was so very nice just to have him there like this, and Gladio was enamored with the man more and more each day.

"But you don't have to." Another bite, a little more strongly now. "And you never will."

"Good."

The word was a low purr, sounding almost sinful in Ignis' rich voice. His eyes were locked on Gladio's lips now, a slow smile curling his as he teased his love by pulling his fingers back just a tiny bit.

Gladio does so love that pretty voice of his, the way it can change amd cause a shiver down his spine as those green eyes focus on him and only him. His hands tighten on the man's hips and he tilts his head to vye for a kiss, letting Ignis give or deny to him however he wanted to.

"Besides, I like being yours. You know just how to make me feel good, how to wear me out." It was true after all, and if Ignis was going to spoil hin now, Gladio was going to compliment him a bit for it.

When his hand moved again, it was to cup the side of Gladio's face as he leaned in, giving him the kiss he was seeking. In public, Ignis wasn't very affectionate save for quick, glancing touches and soft smile and glances. In private, he was the opposite. He loved touching Gladio, even if the contact wasn't meant to seduce. There was something settling about the feel of his mate's warm skin and the way he felt under Ignis' knowing fingers.

"I'm sure you're the one usually wearing me out."

"Mm, It can be pretty fifty fifty sometimes."

But Gladio is not here to argue, instead enjoying his lover's touches. He rumbles happily into the kiss now and licks the coner of the man's mouth when they pull back teasingly.

"Of course, we could always continue this back in the bed, my love."

"I suppose we could."

A slow smile teased at Ignis' lips as he let himself lean back even more, stretching like a big, lazy cat. If that happened to let him wriggle a bit atop Gladio's lap, then so be it.

That wiggle makes him growl playfully, and his hands slide from Ignis' hips to underneath his behind, getting ready to pick him up and cart him off to their nest.

"Unless you've got a better idea, babe. But I can't think of much, unless you're planning on making me sit back and let you do all the work."

The smile inched a bit higher when he felt those strong hands settle under his ass. This time, when he leaned in, he dropped a quick kiss to the tip of Gladio's nose.

"That would mean keeping your hands to yourself and we both know you can't do that."

"Mm. Luckily enough,I don't have to."

He laughs, and then hauls his mate up as he lifts himself out of the chair. It's one of the rare times Ignis is taller than him, but they both clearly do not mind. He bites at his chest with a playful scrape of his teeth. As he walks them to their bed.

"But I wouldn't mind if you tied my hands up either. Especially because it's you."

There's a low chuckle from Ignis as he wrapped his legs around Gladio's waist, a hand rising to settle heavy in Gladio's hair. A moment later and he tugged at the dark strands, pulling his lips away from his chest only to lean down and offer up a teasing nip to his lips.

"And if I want your hands all over me?"

Gladio leans back against the wall before they reach the bedroom, taking a moment to just kiss and be kissed by his mate. To take him in and his scent that told him so much. His love, his need, his happiness and most importantly that little bit of Gladio that hung about him to let everyone know.

"If that's what my mate wants, that's what he gets." Gladio murmmers, eyes a bright color much like his wolven side. "I suppose the real question is if you want me sweet or rough Iggy."

He tilts his head back, letting his hair be pulled by the man. Whatever way he wants Gladio, be it on hands and knees with the man behind him or sweet, gently pressed into the bed, he could have it.

There was something primal about seeing Gladio as he was now, this brilliant, loving, feral side of him but Ignis knew so very well that his lover had so many other things to offer. His strength belied a gentleness that few could ever fathom and if they heard about it, they'd likely laugh. After all, the big man was well known for his strength.

Humming under his breath, Ignis leaned in again and this time, the kiss was slow and searching as his legs tightened around Gladio's waist.

"Such difficult choices. I do love it when you're rough with me but your softer side is such a lovely thing to witness. Perhaps that would be best since we're expected to join the rest of the pack this evening. I'm not entirely sure I could walk properly if we continue on as we have been."

Gladio's hands gently pet against bare skin despite not leaving his ass, holding him up as each gentle kiss brings his amorous side further out. Which is perfect, because until they have to go see the pack tonight. He wants to keep Ignis all to himself.

"Of course, my love. I know you want to make a good impression."

Finally he pulls away from the wall, making it into their bedroom and settles them both down into their bed turned nest. Ignis on top of him.

"And I will be by you side all night." He nips at his pretty pale neck, bringing marks from last night back to life. "With my eyes only on you."

It's all too easy to tip his head, sighing his approval as Gladio pulled the fading marks back to vivid life. His hands spread out as he settled, fingers easy as they traced along Gladio's muscles, his own desire there and simmering low with each touch.

"If you're going to lead the pack one day, then you'll need to pay attention to something other than me."

Settled now, Gladio's hands slide up the man's back, over wiry muscle in his beautiful mate's build. He can small his want and knows his own need shows, even in how he presses up against the other, hips rolling underneath Ignis.

"I will then, but not now." Not on his first full moon with his mate. Ignis, who he adores and intends to be with for as long as he lived. "Right now is just fot us, my Ignis."

And Astrals, he needed to be with him, inside him soon.
