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.

Wrapping his fingers around Gladio's cock was a sufficient distraction that left Ignis sighing at just how hot that heavy flesh was in his hand. The digits spread for a moment, fingertips gliding along the slit before he settled them around him, his strokes a tease even as he helped to slick him up. There was an instinctive drive to push his mate, to drive him as crazy as he felt, to tug all the noise from him that he could.

When he felt Gladio move, tugging him close, he groaned his approval, legs spreading easily around Gladio's hips even as he let his eyes sink closed while he did as he'd been told.

It wasn't slow. It was more of that same draw, wanting his mate pressed deep to help ease the ache inside.

[sworn_shield]

He hisses at how suddenly Ignis impaled himself onto his cock, despite his warnings. Gladio gets it, his heat must be awful with his mate so close to giving him what he wants, but he was worried about hurting him. Ignis is so noisy and needy and wrecked in a way that he usually only is after Gladio has pushed his line of pain and pleasure that even with how tight his mate is around him Gladio groans low against his warm skin. Curling his whole larger body over him.

"My mate...." He groans out, but does not stop. Ignis will not let him stop, and he rolls his hips to push himself all the way up into his lover, joined completely. He does not stay that way however. Because heat is all about the want and need for each other, and every motion of Ignis' body underneath him practically begs Gladio to fuck him.

So he does. Thrusts slow but hard into him, hissing out words of pleasure as he lets his instincts overtake his worry to give Ignis what he needs.

"I'm gonna fill you up so good, Iggy- I won't leave you wanting for even a moment anymore, I'm here now."

He'd talk filthy about breeding his mate full, but that might have to wait until he makes sure Ignis remembers that of course, Gladio cannot make good on that exact promise.

[fieryknowledge]

Oh, it hurt. Hurt more than he was used to and the burn pulled tears to his eyes, but there was a bone deep satisfaction in having his mate there, pressed deep and close enough that all Ignis could do was feel him. It was what his heat had strived for, what it had wanted all along. Each slow thrust made sparks dance along Ignis' nerves until he couldn't help but groan, his words stolen away.

The rational side of Ignis knew that little ones weren't something they'd ever have but in his addled, heat ridden state, hearing it might stir things up that would fade once the heat passed but it could be a strain until then.

[sworn_shield]

For now Gladio can at least give him this, being so very close to him and soothing his heat with as much sex as he could need. Gladio groans and slide his hands up from Ignis' hips over his body, a thumb brushing over his nipple to tease while the other cradles the side of his face in a long, slow kiss.

"Iggy..." Gladio sighs against him, the tight heat of the man's body, panting softly with each thrust. "I'm all yours."

[fieryknowledge]

Maybe once his head cleared a bit, he could think. Maybe then he could show Gladio just how glad he was that the big were was there to help him. For now, there was gratitude written in the arch of his back during a particularly hard thrust, in the breathy way his lover's name escaped between heady kisses and in the grasp of clutching hands as he sought his pleasure as well as gave in to his body's demands.

[sworn_shield]

Even if Ignis cannot vocalize what he needs, Gladio still is able to give it to him. As mates, as lovers, as someone who knows him so well Gladio can always give his what he needs, and what he needs right now is to be so close that they cannot even think of being apart. That he will give to him, that was his promise.

Gladio pants while he changes, letting his were side take over as the pace seems to hit where Ignis wants him to be. His whole body changes, heavier as he leans against his mate, fur as Ignis tangles his fingers through it. Even his cock inside of the other changes, thicker and pushing deeper into him with he slow swell of his knot starting so that they can be tied together.

[fieryknowledge]

Gladio's change triggered Ignis', soft ashy fur slowly coming in even as Ignis' fingers tangled in the thick, dark fur that Gladio sported. He was already far too close for comfort, his body strung out as instinct drove him to push and push until the first rush of a new heat was eased. Once he had a chance to find release, a bit of clarity would come to him while his body cooled down until he was ready for the next round.

[sworn_shield]

Instinct drove the both of them to give and take everything the other had to offer, heat and need pushing them through.

Gladio growls from deep in his chest as he thrusts deep into his mate, hips rolling to further push himself against his Ignis so that his knot sinks into him. It is a hard stretch and the tightness of his lover makes him shudder and gasp, but so close to the edge this is what they both want, what they both need.

A moment later his mouth bites down over the mating mark again, opening it up and pushing his claim amd scent in. If nothing else will push Ignis over the edge, that surely will.

[fieryknowledge]

The tug of the knot sliding home was enough to make Ignis' breath grow short, but it was that bite that finished him off. Arching under Gladio, he yelped as his orgasm crashed over him, hands clutching at Gladio with desperation. If he thought his head was swimming earlier with the onset of his heat, he was sadly mistaken. It was nothing compared to how he felt, body tight as he rode out what seemed like a never ending climax.

All good things must come to an end, though, even when a body was riddled with the effects of a late blooming heat. Gasping to pull in all the air he could, Ignis slowly went limp in Gladio's arms as his body grew pliant and loose.

[sworn_shield]

Finally, Ignis' need is satisfied if just for a short while. The large were on top of him holds his mate close to him as he gasped and moaned, his beautiful Ignis a mess and fuck, it was a good look for him.

Instead of trying to force words through his muzzle, Gladio growls his pleasure and once Ignis relaxes under him, his hips rock forward to continue slow claiming thrusts. That knot keeps him deep in his lover and seeing him so lost in pleasure does not leave Gladio far behind.

"Fuck, Ignis..."

He can not even think of holding back. No, not when his pretty mate needs to be bred full from him. Gladio groans and presses most of his weight down onto the smaller were, wanting to be as close as possible as the last few thrusts fall out of his steady rhythm, orgasm not far behind that.

Ignis had made a mess between them, but Gladio feels like his orgasm is drawn out hard, locked deep into his mate, cum hot and slick in his ass and sure to be a mess when he pulls out later, but with no intention soon to do so.

[fieryknowledge]

The heavy wave of heat that settled in his gut drew a low, worn moan from Ignis as he let his eyes sink closed. He'd thought things between them had been intense before, but now, he felt worn like he'd never felt before. The burning need of his heat had eased, replaced by a body numbing contentment that only made Ignis want to sleep, even though each careful pull of the knot locking them together tugged soft grunts from him each time.

[sworn_shield]

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.

[fieryknowledge]

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.

[sworn_shield]

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.

[fieryknowledge]

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.

[sworn_shield]

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.

[fieryknowledge]

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."

[sworn_shield]

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.

[fieryknowledge]

"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."

[sworn_shield]

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?"

[fieryknowledge]

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?"

[sworn_shield]

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.

[fieryknowledge]

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."

[sworn_shield]

"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.

[fieryknowledge]

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?
