To have and to hold, in case you get cold-

[fieryknowledge]

Insomnia was white under the newly fallen snow. The soft blanket of white covered the still ruined parts of the city, lending it a peaceful air, but around the Citadel, life was teeming once again. The Citadel proper had been repaired and the buildings around it were well on their way as well. Once the people had heard the the Chosen King had won and returned to them, they started to flock back to the city, bringing life and joy with them, as well as calloused hands and the willingness to help rebuild.

For Ignis, it'd been difficult. For the first month, he'd hold his breath each night, watching until the sun rose again as if he expected it to just vanish. It wasn't that he didn't have faith in his beloved King. It was simply too many years spent in the dark. Too many memories better left in that same dark. Too much pain.

Now that there was life in the city again and he knew it was good and permanent and safe, he settled into a routine as was his nature. Up before dawn and while he'd claim it was still to do things for his liege, anyone that really knew him knew that he would be looking for the dawn, even a year later. Now was no different. He'd risen before the sun and once it was up, he'd gone about his day. Meetings with the council that he now headed in Noct's absence, or working on helping the rebuilding efforts with Cor and the like. Each night, he returned to his new rooms in the Citadel, looking to curl up in Gladio's arms and sleep, praying there would be no nightmares to plague them in their sleep.

Tonight, while the snow fell silent around the city, Ignis found himself getting back home earlier than expected. Everyone was in fine spirits thanks to the weather and once he realized that there would be no real work for any of them, he called off the late council meeting and made his way back home, sure that Gladio wouldn't be there for a while since he knew his love liked to train in the evening. That left him plenty of time to cook something nice for both of them instead of the quick meals he'd grown used to whipping up for the last few months.

Fuck. Hearing Ignis demand-no, beg him for more does things to Gladio that are indescribable. He growls softly against his lover, hand on Ignis' cock working little faster, paying special attention to the top before he has to pull away.

"You got it." He says, low and nearly a groan himself, and both of his hands are needed to undo those cufflinks because for how hot and bothered he was himself, each one undone giving Ignis a moment to recognize what that meant for him, followed by the rush of how Gladio's hand struck him. One for each cufflink, the suspenders two buttons, one for each of the upper straps on his arm, and when Gladio leans back and yanks that shirt off of his lover, completely naked now, he's hit with the hardest one yet that cracks enough to make Gladio nearly wince.

[fieryknowledge]

By the time Gladio's done baring him to the cooler air in the bedroom, his skin is flushed and dotted with sweat. A sharp moan shuddered out of him before the last swat echoed into silence and right then, there was no more conscious thought left in Ignis. All that remained was a creature of need, eager and willing to do what was asked of him as long as his lover kept him there in that white noise filled headspace.

Head hanging, the moan faded away and left Ignis panting as his nerves sang Gladio's praises and his dick throbbed, the tip beading up with a pearl of liquid. This was the Ignis that only Gladio saw and while he'd usually be mortified if he realized how he looked, he was too far gone to care.

[sworn_shield]

Ignis doesn't need to worry about how he looks like this; Moments like this are sacred and private, only for them. Gladio however thinks he is absolutely beautiful, this private person his love is showing him this side of him.

"So good, Iggy." He purrs, stroking over his skin. Red to the point he may need to use a potion, or he may not be able to sit down tomorrow. "You did very good, babe. Lay down for me now, okay?"

As he does he nudges Ignis to his side, soIgnis can watch him undress as well before sliding in behind the other. He kisses along his shoulder with a low, pleased moan, and his free hand curls back around his cock. He will give his lover what he needs, working him up over and then past the edge.

[fieryknowledge]

The praise earned Gladio a happy noise from Ignis. For most of his life, he hadn't received much praise and when he did, he had a habit of brushing it off. After all, he felt he was just doing his job. Why would he need to be praised for it when just doing the job so well was reward enough in his eyes. Gladio had shown him that there was a side of him that craved praise and each time, it rarely failed to get some kind of response from the usually taciturn adviser when he was in private with his love.

Ignis' nerves lit up when Gladio slid in behind him and part of him wanted to inch away while another large chunk of him wanted to press his hips back, set that flickering flame under his skin to a full-blown inferno along his nerves. He was far enough gone now that the pain, while still registering in his mind, melted almost instantly into a blissful pleasure.

[sworn_shield]

Gloved hand on his cock, Ignis is leaking so liberaly that the glide of leather over him is smooth and easy. He knows the other won't last long like this in his blissed and submissive headspace, but Gladio still has a duty to give him what he wants. What he needs right now.

"Talk to me baby. What's your color at?" He murmmers into his ear, and waits for a reply. He needs to know if he wants to continue on. It's the check in part of sex, not something exactly sexy, but Gladio always does it, loathing the though of pushing Ignis into the wrong headspace. It is a pretty thin line they walk, after all.

"If you're good and ready for it, I can fill your pretty and sore behind with my cock, Iggy. That's what you want tonight, isn't it?"

[fieryknowledge]

Why were there questions being asked of him? Words were something that Ignis might not even be capable of at the moment thanks to Gladio's skillful touch. As it was, they barely registered in the back of Ignis' brain as he let his hips shift restlessly to match Gladio's pace. He managed a shaky nod, a hand waving idly as if to let Gladio know that he was fine.

Gladio checking to see how he was doing just made it all the better for Ignis. Once he'd learned that he could trust Gladio in such moments, that he truly had his well being and pleasure in mind, he was finally able to let himself go with his lover.

[sworn_shield]

It's too hard of a task for Ignis to respond to him right now, so Gladio uses his own judgement. It's a rare thing that Ignis melted past the point of coherence, but now that they were there Gladio isn't one to half ass the process.

Ignis hips buck back into him in a needy way, and Gladio shifts to make it better for him. His free hand squeezes one of the freshly spanked cheeks of Ignis' was before he opens the other up, so that Gladio's thick, hard cock can rut up in the cleft of his ass, against him as Ignis fucks himself between that hand and his cock. He murmmers soothing words of love and want to the other, Ignis too far gone to understand, but a promise to be inside him soon.

A promise he words on as his hand not on his cock comes up to that pretty mouth, pressing leather tipped fingers to Ignis' lips. Inviting him to bite at the tips, to help pull leather odd so Gladio can slick his fingers up and start stretching him open.

[fieryknowledge]

The warm leather against his lips earned a quick grumble of displeasure. That wasn't what he wanted, damn it. He wanted skin and the leather, as nice as it smelled, was keeping him from it. Growling under his breath, he leaned in to let his lips wrap around the leather covered fingers, giving them a pointed suck as if to say 'look at what you could be getting instead" before he pulled back just enough to nip the offending material away and off of Gladio's fingers.

[sworn_shield]

Fuck. Ignis is being demandingly hot right now in this state, and Gladio's first thought is to smack him across the ass again to get him to behave- But why should he? Ignis did such a good job sinking into the headspace to enjoy this, why shouldn't Gladio give him what he wants?

"Mm, not enough for you right now, huh?" He says, not expecting a verbal reply, but his now free hand cards through blond hair, messing it up a bit even as he enjoys it. "That's fine, I've got something bigger you can put in that smart mouth yours while I work you open. It'll keep you nice and busy."

Pulling away from Ignis, Gladio manhandled him a bit to push the other from his side to his stomach, sitting up so Ignis can have his head in his lap. The gloved hand that had been stroking the blonds cock now holds the base of his own instead, and he presses the head of it to those pretty lips a little roughly.

Smearing the precome he had been leaking against that pretty face, Gladio growls a little as well, want showing in being a bit forceful now. Yet at the same time, cool lubricant covered fingers slip between the cheeks of Ignis spanked was, rubbing against his entrance.

"Time to take care of me now kitten. You want me to feel good too before I fuck you into oblivion, don't you?"

[fieryknowledge]

There was a disgruntled grumble from Ignis as he was moved and don't think he didn't end up cursing under his breath about it. For a moment, he settled his teeth against the head of Gladio's cock in a mock threat even as the richness of his precome flooded his senses.

Another grumble, then he fell silent as he sighed at the feel of cool fingers teasing at his entrance. This time, when his lips parted, it wasn't to offer up complaints. A quick swipe of his tongue along the broad head and he let his lips close around Gladio, already starting that slow glide down his cock.

[sworn_shield]

Naughty, greedy little thing. Gladio chuckles out loud at the threat of teeth on his cock, once again debating spanking, but he doesn't want to overdo it. Ignis is soon on board with the plan anyway, licking up the mess of precum from him, that hot pretty mouth sucking him down.

Gladio groans in pleasure, always one to enjoy being in Ignis' mouth. He handled the thickness of his cock with ease. Gladio's hips shift a little fearlessly, and he pushes forward just a bit into his mouth, knowing Ignis can take it.

"There you go, that's my Iggy." He sighs, and two fingers work inside of him, stretching that ring of muscle open to take his cock. Right now it is all pleasure in all ways he can give it, because once Gladio starts fucking the other, he knows the pain of his hips hitting against his sore ass, the pain will be hard but exquisite.

[fieryknowledge]

So many years ago, back when they were both new at this, Ignis would've had trouble with the thick cock. The first few times he'd wrapped his lips around Gladio's length had left him with a sore throat, frustrated that he couldn't give Gladio what he felt he should be able to. Time and practice and a patient lover had given him the chance to master even that simple thing and even now, there was only a quick hint of that reflex before Ignis squashed it down and let Gladio do as he wanted.

Anything to keep that hand working into him, his hips shifting back against those thick fingers pressing just right into him.

[sworn_shield]

Fuck, Ignis is really deep in his sub space, no hesitation to take him down or even pull back up to tease Gladio the way he likes to. Usually Ignis works him slow and in control to the point where he might beg, but right now Gladio has him happy to serve however he wants. One big hand soothes over blond hair and tangles into short locks, easily holding the man as Gladio fucks that gorgeous mouth at a slow pace.

"So tight kitten... You really want me everywhere, don't you?" He purrs, and eases those fingers deeper in, gently pulling them apart to stretch. It won't take too long for Ignis to be ready for him, and until then he was going to enjoy every moment of it. "Love seeing you suck my cock like this, my pretty fiance, but I can't wait until I'm pushing into you too."

Gladio's mouth has a tendency to run off during sex- Thankfully through the years, Ignis has never minded.

[fieryknowledge]

The ease with which he let himself go so deep into that space was simply a reflection of how much he'd been stressed as of late. So many things needing his time and attention and so many people wanting his opinions or his answer. He wanted... no, needed a day off, or at least a night so when Gladio so kindly offered, he couldn't deny that he needed it. He needed the break to the point that it was all too easy to let himself slip into that eager to please mindset that his usual self made Gladio work for.

Most of the time, Ignis didn't mind Gladio's tendency to chatter during sex. Sure, he might harass him about it from time to time (all in good humor), but they both knew that the slim man found Gladio's voice both soothing as well as arousing when he wanted it to be and now was no different. Even when he was in his right mind, hearing Gladio's coarse language during such intimacies always fanned Ignis' lust a bit brighter. Groaning his approval, he reached up just enough to let his nail drag along Gladio's thigh, leaving pink welts in their wake.

[sworn_shield]

That groan vibrates through his cock in a way that makes Gladio hiss, pleased and wanting at the same time. His eyes darken and his fingers tighten in Ignis' hair, and this time instead of letting the other take him in nice and easily he goes so much further.

Those pretty lips stretch wide over the head of his cock, which he admires for a moment before gently pushing his head down. Easing the other to take more in, ending up back to where he was with about half of that thick cock in his mouth. Gladio sighs out his pleasure, making sure to keep up the way he works Ignis open before he drags that pretty face down to take his whole cock in, down his lover's throat and his lips buried at the base of his cock.

"That's it, leave all the marks you want on me." He growls, and a moment later a third finger is pushing into Ignis' ass, even as he leaves the other there to swallow around the whole of his cock. leaving Ignis there just as filled with as much of him as possible, the promise of being completly and totally filled, filled with Gladio, almost there.

[fieryknowledge]

There's no more noise from Ignis as he does his best to relax at both ends. Instead, both hands clench down on Gladio's thighs, blunt nails biting hard into the firm muscles there as the only protest he can give. The first few times he'd let Gladio go so far in his mouth had left him panicked and backing out of it but in time, he'd learned to relax. It was a clear sign of just how much he trusted Gladio to be observant to any discomfort when he couldn't voice it.

There's a bit of a thrill in the faint, instinctive fear that came with the thought of being unable to breathe. Add on the fresh pressure of another finger in his ass and the shiver that crawls along his skin at the timber of Gladio's voice and all that wrapped up into a tight little ball of pleasure knotting up his gut. He tried to wait it out, swallowing around Gladio's thick length, but he couldn't. A few moments later, a few sucks later and his hand flattens out, tapping Gladio on the thigh to let him know that there was something he wanted.

[sworn_shield]

They have been doing this for so long that Gladio knows exactly what Ignis can take, can hold on for. He enjoys the feeling of being fully in the man's mouth and throat, sucking hard and swallowing around his length as he fucks Ignis with his fingers. The sight is so damn gorgeous he wonders why he has not had more of it before- But it is all for Ignis needs right now, to let him enjoy thoughtlessly as Gladio took care of his sexual needs.

When he feels that tapping on his thighs, he slowly starts tobler Ignis up, easy and knowing how much time he has until the lack of breath becomes a problem from their long years together. For that reason there is no need to rush, and he slips all the way out of that pretty mouth so that his cock falls against his lips, giving him a moment for air.

"You are so damn gorgeous, Iggy." He sighs out, wanting so badly, but needing some more long moments to work those fingers into him. "Did it feel good to take my cock all the way down like that? Let's do it one more time, get me nice and slick so I can Fuck you the way you deserve."

And once more, firm and in control, Ignis knowing that all he has to do is trust in Gladio to have control over things. Over himself as he slips into that pretty mouth one more time and down his throat, never making the blond choke despite how large his cock is, thanks to both of their skill.

[fieryknowledge]

A faint tension inched up Ignis' back as Gladio's cock pressed between his lips again and when the hands released their grip on Gladio's thighs, they settled flat against the skin there, fingers tense to the point of almost shaking. He knew he could take it and he hadn't hesitated, but there was something flickering down in his chest that almost made him shift back.

He didn't though. Gladio had given him this much. He could give back. He would give back even if his brain was starting to pull back away from that pleasant headspace he'd buried himself in. Instead of signaling his lover that the situation might be changing, he remained as he was, lips wrapped around the base of Gladio's cock, his throat closing around that heavy length while Ignis waited.

[sworn_shield]

Stretching Ignis out for him with three fingers now, the other is pliant and willing for him instead of tight and tense, ready to take his cock. Gladio knows it takes a damn long time to be ready for him even after years together, so he always at least tries to make it interesting. With the other in the mood he was in. Being reminded that he was controlled, owned by Gladio right now was the way to go, or at least he thought it was.

The trembling of his hands he misinterprets to Ignis' need, but as usual he doesn't push the man beyond the limits that are hard set for them, bringing him back up before it starts to be too much. By the time he's leaving Ignis' mouth the other would just start to feel the need for air, and Gladio's hands in his hair pet through instead of hold tight.

"You're so damn good to me," He sighs, not one to hold back his affections. He leans down to share a long kiss with the man, then pulls back to settle onto the bed next to him. "You ready to have me, Iggy?"

[fieryknowledge]

There was a protest there, hands flexed as they shifted to let Gladio know that he was close to his limit when his airway was free and the hand in his hair shifted into something gentle and coaxing. It was praise given physical form and Ignis drank it up like a flower seeking sunlight.

When Gladio drew him in for a kiss, he let himself sink into it, his body pliant again as he let himself groan roughly into the kiss. He'd likely have a sore throat later on, but at the moment, it lent his voice a rougher quality than usual. It took a moment for him to realize that Gladio was asking him something but when he did, he let his gaze drift up, the green in his eyes hazy as he silently gave his answer.

[sworn_shield]

Beautiful. Gladio sighs out his approval as his hands slide over Ignis' body, gentle touches after being so rough with him, love and praise and showing want. That Gladio needs, wants him is something they both know, but it is something he is always glad to show his love during sex, even when it is the kind that he is in control of.

His eyes meet the man's own and he smiles back, moving over the other to settle in. He is over Ignis now, the knees settling inside between his fiance' s own. He presses a kiss to the back of his neck, down his spine as strong hands find and grip Ignis' slim hips, and with the strength that is always beneath the surface of his touch gets his lover to arch his spine and his knees under him.

That strength they both know so well, from fighting to protect to rough as he picks up Ignis to fuck him against the wall and legs around him. For right now he just uses it to position him on his knees. Gladio lets Ignis keep his torso on the warm and comfortable sheets if he wants, knowing they were both aware that they were going into this with the intent to fuck the man through the mattress.

"All yours, babe " he purrs, and one hand holds the base of his cock , and the other parting the cheeks of his ass to get to his entrance. Ignis' skin is all flushed from a light pink to a dark angry red in places Gladio's hand had come down on over and over again, and he knows even just the lightest touch is exquisite in the pain and pleasures. After what seems like a few long moments he finally sinks deep into the other, slow but unrelenting, wanting Ignis to feel him all the way through his very soul as he takes Gladio's cock in.

[fieryknowledge]

It was a position he knew well and a private favorite of his. Oh, don't think he didn't love seeing his lover's handsome face during such intimate moments, but there was something real and visceral about the feel of that warm, firm body behind his, strong chest pressed to his back as their bodies surged toward mutual pleasure.

Fresh pressure on the abraded skin of his ass left Ignis groaning as he writhed against the touch, shifting enough that the head of Gladio's cock dragged along his loosened entrance enough to allow a quick dip in. It was a torturous tease and one that Ignis would've voice protest to if Gladio hadn't taken mercy on him and started that slow, steady press into his willing body. Even with the prep, it still hurt a bit. It was a good hurt, though. It was the heady burn of muscles pushing just past their limit when the mind knew that the result would be so very worth it.

Ignis absently found himself pressing further back, instinct pushing him to egg Gladio on until the bog man finally settled into place, completely sheathed inside Ignis' more than willing body. The slim man was left panting, back arched as he worked to adjust to his body's desires and Gladio's demands.

[sworn_shield]

When he slips over Ignis and dips into him, a teasing accident as the other bucks underneath him at the pain and pleasure, Gladio makes note of the needy reaction from the other, filing it away for a time where he can tease Ignis without breaking his mood. For now Ignis did so well he deserves and gets every thing he wants, and those soft noises, panting breath and little more show him the right way. Gladio is very attuned to his lover's needs even while quiet, and even as he adjusts Gladio is pulling back, savoring the drag of his cock inside the other as he pushes back in at that same pace.

Steady, rewarding and strong, Gladio sets to be a constant for his lover. The pleasure of this might be overwhelming, but even as he groans at how good it feels he moves steadily for now, allowing the pleasure for the both of them to come easily and happily.

"You feel perfect, babe." Gladio grunts out, thrusts long and eager and each time completely sheathed into Ignis, to the point where his heavy balls smack softly underneath his entrance. Gladio knows after long years together how to make this pleasure practically hypnotising, so that all Ignis' overworked brain has to think of is enjoying it."Fuck, you take my cock so good-" And he cuts himself off with a moan of his own, enjoying it.

[fieryknowledge]

The glide was electric, the reawakened nerves in his still red skin sizzling with each second of contact. The mix was heady, addicting and something that Ignis craved though he'd never admit it. Even deeper was the knowledge that Ignis held power in his submission. Even now, back arched like a taut bowstring for his lover's pleasure, he held the power, though Gladio commanded the scene.

That was something just as heady.

Groaning his approval, Ignis shifted again, his hands clenching in the mussed sheets of their bed. Each motion was a desperate plea for more and harder and now. Teeth gritted, he surged back, relishing the way his nerves sang as he helped Gladio bottom out once again.

[sworn_shield]

Ignis always held the power in these scenes. Sure, Gladio was the one who could relieve his stress and tension, was the person who knew him best, but the man despite his large tattooed appearance was as gentle as could be when that was what Ignis needed. Ignis always decided how these scenes went, what role Gladio played even if that was communicated without words. They knew each other so well to get what they wanted, needed out of each other.

"That's right babe, let me hear more of those pretty noises." He coaxes, seeking the signs of a need for more and giving it. His hips snap forward at a harder pace and his hands tighten on those slim hips, knowing they will be bruised from how roughly Gladio holds onto them later. He savors fucking into the other's soft and pliant body before leaning over Ignis' back, the heat from his body, sweat from the effort into this making him so damn warm against him.
