July 1-ish for Iggy~
Crossing to Enso, the mana pool closest to the river, beside the Storyteller's temple will give him another clue. The soft tinkle of ceramic bells and low moans of hollow bamboo chimes litter the field of fruit trees to the East. And if he follows the sound until he can hear the rush of the river just past the orchards he'll hear Gladio, humming softly to himself. Waiting patiently for Leopold to complete his task, reading his book in the meantime.
As he approaches there's a thick scent of flowers in addition to the sweetness of the fruit trees. Then Gladio is snapping his book shut, climbing back to his feet and moving closer, reaching for Ignis' hand and drawing him close.
"Evenin, my spark. Hope I'm not interrupting~" He sounds smug enough that he clearly doesn't really care that much. Then he's guiding Ignis gently forward to a large stretch of lightly furred hide that Gladio has stretched out as a picnic blanket to protect them from the debris of the jungle floor. A pair of rough pillows are tossed onto the hide, a circular sheet of his new muslin hangs around the space to protect them from both bugs and the glare of the setting sun. And lined up along one side of the hide is a series of baskets and clay jars that Gladio had prepared earlier in the day.
no subject
At least, gardening is the task until Leopold appears and refuses to be ignored. His insistence is odd considering how lazy he tends to be when Gladio isn't around and he thinks he can get away from it. Eventually, in order to save all his work in the garden from being undone by the tigerlily, Ignis makes his way to the stoop in front of the cottage to give Leopold his full attention.
It's not long after that he finds the note.
After reading it with his bracelet, Ignis just sits there for a few moments, not acknowledging the dampness in the corners of his eyes. The message is sweet, hopeful, and he's not sure he deserves it after how much he messed up with Ardyn.
As if sensing the negative direction of Ignis' thoughts, Leopold once again starts insisting on being paid attention to. He's only accomplished part of his task so far. Time to move to step two!
When a particularly hard headbutt to his chest almost pushes Ignis back into the door frame, he snaps out of his thoughts and tilts a curious look down at the tigerlily.
"Gladio's behind this, isn't he? All right. Let me clean up and we'll see what his devious mind is up to."
Not that long later, man and tigerlily arrive near the Storyteller's temple. The sound of the bells and chimes immediately get his attention and he starts walking that direction even before Leopold can direct him. He's not surprised to find Gladio there, though he is confused as to the purpose behind all this. Both their birthdays passed a while ago, at least by the closest thing to a calendar this place has.
He keeps his questions to himself and lets Gladio guide him to where he wants him to sit. After they are both settled, though, he doesn't hesitate to let his confusion show, "This is amazing, Lovely Petal, but I don't understand. Why have you gone to so much trouble? Is there a special occasion I've forgotten?"
no subject
"Don't need a special occasion to look after you, babe." Leaning up to follow that berry with a kiss.
"Wanted to do something nice and we haven't had a proper date yet..." Soooo.... that's what this is. There might be the slightest hint of uncertainty in his voice but he's doing his best to sound utterly confident that this is something Ignis would want.
no subject
When Gladio pulls back, Ignis tightens his arm slightly, not wanting to let the Shield go too far away. Ah, there is his answer, but it suddenly doesn't matter that much. He can be embarrassed about how much effort went into all this later.
"Do that again," his voice is low, soft, and a little wanting. "Please."
no subject
Then draws back enough to smirk from a breath away. "They're tasty, huh?" Smug and oh so pleased with himself.
no subject
How do people make this look so easy?
Once they've parted again, Ignis takes a moment to swallow what's left of the berry, fingers wiping at the corner of his lip to get rid of some juice that managed to find its way there. And as he's most certainly not going to wipe his hands on his clothes--he's not a barbarian, thank you very much--that leaves him with only one choice.
Pardon him a moment while he licks his fingers clean.
CW: This is gonna get NSFW relatively quickly (apparently)
"Igs." It's the only warning he gives before he's snatching Ignis' hand by the wrist, pulling his hand from his mouth to instead press his next kiss to Iggy's fingertips. It's a familiar gesture by now, reassuring and sweet but this time that kiss is followed by Gladio tilting his head to suck one elegant finger into his mouth, chasing after the taste of the berry's juice and also testing to see just how restrained Ignis is capable of being.
Apparently they think they've waited long enough!
"D-does it taste as good that way as before?"
Oh Astrals, he has no idea how he's suppose to react to this aside from not wanting it to stop. How embarrassing!
nonsense!!
"Better." It's rough and deep and then his lips are moving over Iggy's knuckles, tongue darting between his fingers to catch any stray drops of berry juice. When he comes to the end of his knuckles he trails wet, open mouthed kisses down the side of his hand, holding his wrist and turning his face in against Ignis' damp hand. Then he slowly scrapes his teeth over the sensitive skin of his inner wrist, biting softly, watching how Iggy reacts through hooded eyes.
Tell them that! LOL!
There's really no stopping the shiver that runs over his body. Ignis accepts this and tries not to let it embarrass him farther. His fingers are sensitive, especially the skin between them. It's natural to...
Gladio makes it to Ignis' wrist then and his brain completely short circuits when the bite comes. In fact, it takes him several moments to realize the soft, low moan he hears is his own. Once he does realize it, his free hand snaps up to cover his mouth as his eyes open in surprise. Yes, there is even a sliver of cloudy white peeking out on the left side. He should say something, apologize, explain, but he has a feeling if he opens his mouth it's not going to be words that come out.
never.
Then Ignis' free hand moves to cover his mouth and Gladio surges up onto his knees, dropping the hand he'd been holding to his mouth and snatching at the other one.
"No." Growled, low and deep and desperate, kneeling over Ignis, one hand hard on his shoulder to hold him close and steady him, the other holding that traitorous hand away. His breath comes out a little harsh, a little too needy. "Please, don't." Don't hide from him, Ignis. Nothing. Not sounds or shivers or desires, he has wanted all of this for far too long to let you deprive him of any part of it now.
WELP, then here we go! LOL!
A small smile one might almost call sly slips across his lips and he takes his still damp hand and brings it to Gladio's face, thumb tracing over the man's lips. He's silent for a long moment almost as if he is considering what to do next, though the truth is, he already knows. He's just gathering enough courage to do it. Once he's done so, Ignis moves forward, pressing his lips against Gladio's. He misses his target slightly, finding the corner of the Shield's mouth instead. Never one to let an opportunity pass him by, Ignis teases the corner of Gladio's mouth with teeth and tongue before to launch a full-out attack on the man's lips.
His attempts are messy and far from perfect, but as his fingers slide around Gladio's neck and into the Shield's hair, he makes himself ignore that. He won't get any better if he doesn't practice. It's a good thing practicing is shaping up to be such a fun thing for them both.
no subject
That Gladio gets to be the one he masters this particular skill with is possibly the best thing that's ever happened in his life. He groans into the blond's mouth, the hand on his shoulder dropping down to curve around his back as Gladio leans down into him. For a few long moments he doesn't dare move, anchored by the hand in his hair and the taste of Ignis' mouth under his.
His arm tightens around the advisor, half lifting him from where he's sitting just so he can lay him back on soft blue fur. Gladio slips his arm out from under the other man, using it to brace himself as he situates himself over Iggy, pinning him lightly to the ground with his weight. He tried not to break the kiss as he did but even Gladio is not perfect and there's a clack of teeth at one point, a soft rumbling chuckle that Ignis will be able to feel in his chest.
"Mmmm y'know I planned to feed you dinner." But he sure as fuck isn't moving now and to prove that he doesn't give Ignis time to answer, just cups his face and kisses him soundly, deep and hungry and unyielding.
*Waves goodbye to Gladio's higher brain functions.*
Astrals, is it wrong he feels so safe with Gladio's weight settled on him like this?
Of course, what does right and wrong matter when they are this close and he can feel the rumble of Gladio's laughter just as much as he can hear it?
Ignis' mouth is half open to answer when Gladio starts kissing him again and it takes all Ignis' strength not to let himself be lost in the passion and the strength behind it. He's torn between wanting to match the Shield's efforts in every way and just laying back and letting himself be devoured. At least, he knows exactly what he's going to say once they finally part for air.
"Dinner can bloody well wait. There's something else I'd much rather you feed me first."
He'll ruin Iggy's eventually dammit
"Fucking Six, Iggy." He lets his weight fall more fully against Ignis, not quite to the point of rolling his hips down against the other man but refusing to maintain any distance between them at all. He at least is not as young as he once was. A thought that makes him laugh, giddy and bemused. Who'd have thought that when he finally got Igs under him he'd be the one falling behind.
"Eager, are you?" He finally lifts his head and this time when he kisses him it's hard and sloppy and brief, his lips trailing away from Iggy's mouth down along his jaw, wet kisses and light nips. Back from his jaw to the delicate skin behind his ear, a soft press of teeth, a growl reverberating against his skin, down a little more until he can feel the hammering rhythm of Ignis' pulse beneath his tongue. That's when he finally does more than nip and tease, teeth pressing firmly into pale skin, sealing his mouth around the pulse point and sucking firmly.
He's a lot closer to doing it than Gladio thinks he is!
"Before..." he pauses a moment, needing to steady his own breathing. "Before when you said 'no,' you meant you didn't want me to hide how I felt. Now you have to deal with the consequences."
Gladio cuts him off with a kiss before he can say more, but Ignis will hardly complain since talking is rapidly moving down the list of things he wants to do right now. Especially, when Gladio starts making his way down his neck. His whole body shivers and by the time Gladio latches onto the skin over his pulse, he's gasping for breath once again. Somehow, his fingers have made their way into Gladio's hair and he has no idea--nor does he care--when it happened.
There's going to be a mark. There's going to be a mark and he couldn't be happier. Ignis won't be able to see it, but he sure as hell will be able to feel it.
"Please. Astrals, please!"
no subject
Gladio shifts his weight, straddling one of Ignis' thighs, drawing his knee up between his legs to press firmly against him, give him something he can grind against. One broad hand drops down to his hip gripping hard at him and then sliding behind his back, crossing behind him to grope at his ass and lift him a little, using the support to tip angle his hips just so. Every movement, every little shift and squirm will just shift the pressure of being pinned against Gladio's thigh.
"I got you babe." Murmured roughly against his throat, the texture of Gladio's voice gone thick and velvety from all the sucking. A nip at his earlobe, another series of bites, swift and sharp, and then he's sealing his mouth on the swell of shoulder where the line of his collarbone fades into muscle, biting a little harder where the skin isn't quite as delicate.
no subject
He starts to say Gladio's name, but he shifts just the right way and the word becomes a strangled cry of pleasure instead. Color sparks behind his eyelids and he unconsciously tightens the hand he has in Gladio's hair, giving it a hard yank, even as the nails of his other hand dig into the Shield's shoulder.
Astrals, for all the times he's given Gladio a hard time about not wearing a shirt, Ignis is glad he's not now. He wants as much skin-to-skin contact as he can get, and with no shirt barring the way, the hand on Gladio's shoulder eventually begins wandering lower, across one pec, making sure to tweak the nipple when his fingers find it.
He doesn't stop there though, letting his hand dip farther down even as he gasps and grinds himself against Gladio's leg with no thought of the fact they are doing this in the open where anyone could walk in on them. He's far too lost for that.
"Touch me or..."
He doesn't finish gasping out the sentence. Instead, he lets his hand finish it as it dips below the edge of the Shield's leather shorts, his fingers pressing against the warm skin he finds there.
no subject
Then Iggy tweaks his nipple and abruptly the arm behind him, supporting him falls away. Gladio curses, jerks forward, has to drop his hold on Ignis to catch himself before he falls over on him.
"Y-yeah." He doesn't need Ignis to tell him that all he wants to do is touch him, map out every inch of his body with fingers and lips. It's hard to focus on that when Ignis is worming his fingers in under the waistband of his shorts though.
Gladio's hand drops down to capture Ignis' wrist, yanking his hand away and slamming it to the ground above his head, leaning forward over him as he does it, rocking his hips down against the blond. "You want me to touch you, you gotta keep your hands to yourself for a minute." Rough and low, ground out through clenched teeth. Fuck he wants this to be slow and romantic and sweet and somehow they've blown past that into something hot and needy in a matter of moments.
He squeezes Ignis' wrist a little harder, a warning. "Buttons, Ig. Unless you wanna lose em." But he'll let Ignis take as much time as he needs with his shirt because Gladio is wasting no time unfastening his pants.
no subject
As quickly as Gladio has unraveled him, it pleases Ignis to no end when Gladio nearly drops him in response to his own ministrations. He's fully prepared to follow up that nipple tweak with his mouth to see if that produces just as strong a reaction, when Gladio suddenly pins him back against the ground. It startles him, taking his breath away for a moment--not that there was much to be taken--but he enjoys the feeling of the Shield above him far too much to be upset, especially when Gladio rocks down against him. Ignis' body arches up to meet him, though he growls softly when he can't pull his wrist loose in order to put his hand to better use. Fortunately, before he can get too frustrated, Gladio lets go and asks him to take care of his shirt. Another time, he might have told Gladio to hell with the buttons, but he can't easily fix them right now and finding them will be a lot harder out here than it would be in a closed in room.
"Yes..." He barely breathes the word before his fingers go to work. Honestly, as wound up as he is, it's surprising his fingers don't stumble until he gets to the bottom. At that point, with Gladio so hard at work on his pants, Ignis decides one button won't be missed and just pulls until said button gives way.
Really, it's not like anyone is going to know anyway...
no subject
Instead he shifts down, dropping a wet press of lips below his navel where that poor abused button would normally rest. He scrapes his teeth over the skin there and then his hands slide around to Ignis' hips.
"Lift up, babe." And as soon as Ignis obliges he is sliding his pants down around his thighs. He lets his mouth move down, a short trail of soft kisses and warm breath before he sits back on his heels, just staring down at the other man for a moment, disbelieving and awed. How many times had he dreamed of having Ignis like this? How many years had he longed for this opportunity?
"Astrals..." Breathless and full of more emotion than he'd really meant to let through. His hands slide up Iggy's body, a distraction from how much being with him like this is affecting him and a determination to keep him needy and delightfully impatient. His fingers dance over that smooth pale skin, tweaking his nipples, skimming ragged nails over his ribs. "You're fucking gorgeous, spark."
no subject
Fortunately, those negative thoughts have no chance to take root in Ignis' mind. Not with Gladio's hands all over him. It's almost too much, each stroke, scratch, and caress sending sparks of electricity through him. Color bursts behind his eyes and distantly, Ignis realizes that's one more thing Gladio's given to him. It's not the same as having his vision back, but it brightens the darkness, if only for a short time.
"Gladio..."
Ignis means to say more, his hands starting to run their way up over the Shield's arms, fingers tracing the shifting muscles as they go, but then Gladio is dragging his nails over his ribs and he loses everything, writhing and moaning under the Shield's hands.
no subject
Not when Ignis is writhing beneath him and Gladio can make him fall apart so easily. So little effort for such breathtaking results.
Ignis moans his name and Gladio bends low, using the hold he has on his hips to lift Iggy half into his lap. One light kiss on his hip beside his own thumb, beside the bruise that would no doubt linger there. The one warning of where his mouth was before he shifted, a rush of breath, and then Gladio's tongue, hot and slick over the length of him. Tilting his head just so, the sound wet and sloppy as he takes Ignis into his mouth in one swift motion.
no subject
Of course, it could be just that his brain is scrambled right now. If Ignis could--or, hell, wanted to--think clearly, he would probably decide that is what is going on. As it is, he very definitely does not want to think clearly about anything right now.
When Gladio lifts him to adjust their position, Ignis takes the opportunity to finish running his hands up Gladio's arms. He's not sure what his goal is after that, but it doesn't really matter because the moment Gladio presses his lips against his hip, everything stops for Ignis as he realizes where this is going--where he wants it to go more than anything. He opens his mouth to give Gladio the go ahead to continue if he is doubting it's okay, but in the time it takes Ignis to find his words again, Gladio acts and everything goes from being stopped to overwhelming movement in an instant. He arches backward, putting on an impressive display of his own flexibility even as he struggles not to thrust upward too hard.
Nothing, nothing, he ever imagined comes close to this wonderful feeling. The heat. The wetness. The feeling so vulnerable, but so completely and absolutely safe.
Ignis doesn't even notice the soft cry that starts in his throat and gradually gets louder. He's lost to everything except the feel of Gladio's hands and mouth on his body as he's always wanted them to be.
no subject
He's gotten some pretty enthusiastic reactions in his time but the way Ignis gives himself over to the pleasure, that tight careful control dissolving into nothing so quickly, is enough to have Gladio desperate and dizzy with his responsiveness. His fingers hold tight to Iggy's hips as he arches, sinking down a little further, sucking as much of him into his mouth as possible. But supporting him like this, holding him carefully so he doesn't writhe free, there's only so much Gladio can do.
For a moment he holds them as still as he can, letting the initial shock of sensation ebb before he tries to move, to let Ignis lay back on the hide. He has to draw his mouth away for a fleeting moment as he shifts. Perhaps if Ignis wasn't so very flexible and a bit less responsive he could have held him like that. But oh Gods he wouldn't change a single moment of how breathtaking Ignis' reactions are.
Careful hands settle him back on the ground and after the barest of moments Gladio's mouth is on him again, fingers curling around the base of his cock so Gladio can take him in deep again, right away. Even as he does he's squirming a little himself, his other hand shoving his shorts down enough to relieve the ache of his own erection. He lays out between the other man's legs and wasting no time finding a rhythm that makes Ignis cry out again.
