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.

Gladio rumbles in contentment as his arms wrap around his mate, deep in him and everything about this moment perfect. It has taken a lot of of Ignis, he can tell, so without words to disturb his mate Gladio noses into his neck as he holds him, encouraging his love to simply take the rest he needs.

Gladio would not be going anywhere.

It didn't take long for Ignis to doze off, breaths slowly evening out after their earlier exertions. Even with his mate there, still anchored deep in his body, he managed to rest. Having his love there, his scent wrapped around Ignis, helped lull him into an easy sleep punctuated by a twitch of overactive muscles.

It wqs very rare for Ignis to just doze off after sex like this, more Gladio's style. But seeing his lover so content and sated makes the man's heart swell as he stays close to him. Bright eyes are besotted as he stays over his lover, curled up witn him and really only moving to throw blankets over his bare back. He sighs happily and rests against him, letting his mind drift on what being in heat meant for his mate.

Depending on what kind of heat he has, they may even have time to talk about it and bring his mate's mind back into a place where he can think. If he cannot of course Gladio has him, happily and secure in their bedroom turned den as he drifts off as well.

An hour later, Ignis started to shift as he pulled himself back to wakefulness. It was a slow process punctuated by soft sighs and a quiet moan as taxed muscles made themselves known. It was still a few minutes later before green eyes cracked open, a good deal of the heat-driven glaze gone for the moment. Oh, the urge was still there, that lowly banked fire resting in his core, but for now, he had himself back under some semblance of control.

Yawning, he stretched and slid an absent hand along Gladio's shoulder, idly pondering if he wanted to try to go back to sleep or not.

His mate's shifting has Gladio waking from his doze, the bigger man's cock still in him, nearly deflated knot still holding them together. His amber eyes open and the large were rumbles, fur scratched by his mate in a delightful spot.

"Back with me, babe?" He purrs out to him, nosing against Ignis' neck, reveling in his strong, heat laced scent happily as any mate would be.

The purr was answered by a soft rumble of his own. It was the sound of a contented mate and something that Ignis had no idea he was doing even as he tilted his head a bit in absent encouragement. There was another slow shift, body testing if Gladio had released his hold on him only to moan softly when he felt the almost gone press of his knot still keeping him close.

"... mostly."

That noise made Gladio's eyes go soft with love as he continued to hold his mate, pressing Ignis into the sheets and comfort of their bed and his arms around him. He kisses up to his mouth, happy to just lay there with him longer, safe in their home to ride out Ignis' heat.

"Mm, that really hit you hard then, didn't it?" Well, now he knows for next time. "You really took me by surprise babe, but thankfully you let me tall you into coming home pretty easily."

After all, Ignis was rather stubborn. Had to be, when Noctis of all people was his charge.

"Barely."

He'd been so tempted to let Gladio do as he threatened, to let him bend him over his desk and go at it right there in Ignis' office, but some semblance of order and decorum had saved Ignis that minor disgrace even if he was starting to feel a sliver of shame knowing that he'd been dragged out of the office smelling like... well, a desperate were in heat.

"No wonder Cor tried to get me to leave early. I should remember to thank him the next time I see him, if I can even manage to look him in the face after that."

Gladio could sense his mate starting to think too hard on the scenario, and rumbles soothingly to him, much like he had often heard when Ignis was frustrated and confused with his first transformation as a were.

"You did good, and I got you all the way home without having to haul you over my shoulder." He chuckles a little bit, trying to lighten the mood. "It was your first one after all. I've made much more of a fool of myself un front of him before, so I'm sure he won't think anything of it."

If anything. He'll scold Gladio later for not noticing sooner, but perhaps admit that the night shifts had made it hard on both of them. Gladio pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath before gently trying to move. He is still in his mate but seems to have lost his knot now, so Gladiolus makes it easier for Ignis to stretch out underneath him by finally sliding out of him, spend still slick and deep in his mate.

"I've got something I wanna tell you too. Don't laugh, okay?"

That rumble was instantly soothing and again, instinct led Ignis to answer back, his own purr a bit more pronounced this time. Gladio had always had an easier time tempering Ignis' moods when he had them, but since his coming out as a were, it'd been even easier. Just being around Gladio, his scent close by, had a calming effect on Ignis. Only when he was truly wound up about something did it have trouble working now.

The feel of Gladio sliding out of him pulled a low hiss from Ignis, already quietly lamenting the emptiness that it left behind. The knot of heat still lingering in his belly tightened, as if the needy were in him wasn't pleased and wanted that changed right now, but it wasn't enough to drive Ignis back to the desperate mess he was earlier.

".... I promise I'll try not to?"

Gladio grins at that, all too happy and just enjoying being close to his wonderful, beautiful mate.

"You're prolly gonna drag me into heat by the time the full moon is up. That's not the part I wanted to tell you tho- I've never been in heat with someone else before. I'm glad it gets to be you."

And always will be Ignis, if they get any say in such.

Part of Ignis just knew, but part of him was shocked at that admission. When they'd first started to even imagine being together, Gladio was desired by many and why not? He was handsome and strong and charming, friends with damn near everyone. There were times that Ignis still quietly wondered how he was able to capture the Shield's heart when there were so many out there that had seemed to be better suited to him when they were both younger.

A long moment drug out between them, Ignis sighing softly as he let that admission wash over him. A first they would share, and that was something that Ignis had never imagined would happen. Another moment, then he reached up to cup that scruffy cheek, his gaze warm and his lips curled into a faint smile.

"I certainly hope it'll be memorable for you. I know it will be for me."

"Mm, I do like the thought of you having some of my firsts."

There were are lot of things that they didn't, but at the same time it was only really after he and Ignis had started to admit their feelings for each other he had dealt with his heats. By himself, though offers had been given- even when he thought that Ignis was just human it didn't seem fair to share that part of himself with others.

He leans into Ignis' touch, rubbing his cheek against an ungloved palm happily for a few moments.

"Do you need me to get you anything? If yoi're hungry I'm sure I can hunt up some grub from the fridge." Or, well, they could stay right where they were and have sex for the rest of the week if that was what his mate wanted.

Was he hungry? Absolutely. He hadn't had time to finish his lunch during his usual working hours thanks to his increasingly hectic schedule and after their earlier exertions, his stomach was protesting. He couldn't be sure if it was lack of food or another kind of hunger knotting up his gut, but there was only one way to find out.

Another moment as Ignis leaned up to brush a kiss along Gladio's scruffy jaw and he was pulling away, clearly intent on getting out of bed and heading into the kitchen. Heat or not, he could surely whip something up quickly enough to eat before his need ramped up again.

.... right?

Well, it was still early evening after all, they had managed not to waste the entire rest of the day on sex. Gladio chuckles and watches his baked mate pad out toward the kitchen, besotted look on his face before he stretches out and follows suit.

"Could order in too, if nothing's feeling your fancy."

"I'm not answering the door naked, are-"

There was a beat as Ignis' voice faded. Honestly, he wouldn't put it past his mate to do just that, heat or no. Huffing as his cheeks pinked up, he reached up to shove his hand through his mussed hair as he padded into their little kitchen. He'd have to be quick, though. Already, he could feel that temptingly sinister knot of want tightening up in his gut and he knew he might not have a lot of time.

"... at least put something on if you do so. I won't have you showing off what's mine."

Gladio can't help but laugh at seeing Ignis blush, his mate comfortably in his heat enough to worry about someone stealing him away. It would never happen of course, though Gladio's alpha instincts do have him considering opening the door without clothes, the scent of heat and sex marking this as their domain...

He snaps out of it a second later, reaching over to swat Ignis' perky little behind as his mate passes, unable to stay away from him for too long.

"I'm all yours, babe. You've got nothing to worry about." How could he even conceive of worrying his mate at a time like this? It's Ignis' heat, and as Gladio tidies up their bedroom turned den and adds more blankets to the mix he endeavors to take care of him just as much as Ignis does to him.

There was an absent wave of Ignis' hand as Gladio's caught his ass, a low snort showing the thinly veiled amusement at the gesture. When they'd first started dating, Ignis had been a bit of a prude but time spent around Gladio and his libido had fixed that pretty quickly. Now, he had moments where he was just as bad a the big were, even more so now that he'd gone through his own change.

Before he could get distracted, he made his way to the kitchen, bent down to peer into the fridge to see what kind of leftovers they could make due with while his heat worked itself out.

Gladio does not take to much longer to get out of bed, remaking it with nice sheets and lots of blankets to nest in before throwing dirty clothes and sheets into the hamper. Still nude and smelling of sex, he follows the scent of his mate to the kitchen, back in his human form by the time he wraps his arms around the other from behind and drags his tongue over Ignis' mating mark.

"Need a hand, love?"

Every part of Ignis was keenly aware of Gladio. Where he was, what he was doing, everything. He knew when he was approaching, still smelling of their mingled scents and the heady tang of sex that seemed to permeate the whole apartment. In the back of his mind, Ignis idly wondered if that was simply because he was in heat or if it was something more.

There were words on the tip of Ignis' tongue as he felt those strong arms around around him, but any semblance of spoken words skittered to a halt when he felt damp heat glide along his scarred neck. He'd been trying so hard to keep some shred of control for as long as he could, but that simple action by Gladio had him groaning as heat clenched low in his gut and his cock gave an interested twitch...

He. Well, okay he had intended to get a reaction out of his mate with that, in a sweet but possessive reminder that Ignis was his as much as Gladio was his back. That groan makes those hands that had come around him caress Ignis' bare skin, one petting low over his stomach while the other slides up to cup Ignis' chest over his mate's heart. Stroking his strong pectoral and teasing the nipple there.

"So beautiful, babe- And you're all mine to make feel good." He sighs happily, content to stroke the fires of Ignis' heat with his amorous behavior. His huge frame is pressed against his lover's back, giving off his scent that wraps around the both of them. The full moon may not be here yet, but it was a sure sign the the of them would be spending nearly all of it in a mutual heat.

There was another effort to regain what little control he had from earlier, but as the rich scent of smoke and leather washed over him, he stopped trying. With a low groan of his mate's name, he let his head drop back to rest against Gladio's shoulder while his hands moved to glide along those thick, corded arms that held him so tight.

Food would have to wait. Ignis' body was starting to grow demanding again as the heat rose up again, driving the slim man to eagerly give in to whatever his mate wanted.

Gladio growls out in satisfaction as Ignis touches him. Even a human touch along his own human form is electric and always has been. Plus there was something particularly naughty working Ignis up in his beloved Kitchen, breaking the rules that are usually so set in stone for them.

He smiles against his lover's neck, making his way up to kiss his mouth. Slow and sloppy as he shuts the fridge door before pressing Ignis' body against it, his mate caught between the inferno of Gladio's body and the cool surface there.

"So beautiful, Iggy." Gladio sighs in pleasure, hand low over the man finding his cock, starting to stroke him so that it filled and thickened. "My wonderful, amazing mate. You need more from me already, don't you?"

Ignis just didn't have it in him to chide Gladio for getting him going in the kitchen. Usually, that was the one place that Ignis always counted as 'off-limits' for such things, but Gladio always seemed to countermand the adviser's sensible side.

There was no effort made to bite back the low moan that tore from Ignis' throat when Gladio found his thickening cock, nor was there a shred of denial in his posture. They both knew that he needed Gladio even if the big were had egged him on a bit.

That moan is sweet to his ears. Hearing his mate call to him. He knows just from it what his love needs. To feel him again, to feel full and complete. Even if they will never be able to use either of their heats to breed, obviously, that does not make it any less important to their need for each other.

"I've got you."

Gladio sighs softly, glad that his stamina lets him go a few times in a row. Being outside the full moon may make him run exhausted and unable to preform eventually, but he bets with some creative use of toys he can keep Ignis from even noticing. For now however his cock twitches with intrest, the way Ignis is easily pliant under him making him want. His mate leans forward and Gladio's cock slides between the cheeks of his ass, the thick head of it occasionally catching against the rim of his hole with sweet pressure.

"You can have whatever you want of me, my love. I will give you the world if you let me."

He does not make him wait too much longer. Still messily slick with his cum, Ignis accepts his cock easily after being knotted once already, the bigger alpha soothing with noises and touches as he pushes into him again.
