Ignis' words had Noctis absolutely flushed. So, he really was attracted to him, wasn't he? To say something like that...

Glasio, of course, followed the not-an-order, but when he stroked Noctis' hair, he couldn't help but fluff it up. Old habits die hard. Then, onto his back...

"Do your scars still hurt?" he asked softly, feeling his way around scar tissue when he couldn't see it well.

"Not- I mean. Sometimes..." Noctis seemed completely relaxed, regardless.

@painedprince

"There. Didn't even need a chart." Ignis teased, grateful for Prompto making a bit of room just so he could lean in for another kiss. "May we all have a bit less trouble elsewhere, though I think we're working on improving this life just fine."

"Hear hear." Prompto was more than fine with chiming in, mostly relaxing with his arms wrapped around his fiance... but he got the feeling it was all about to get more interesting.

"As if any of us would stop touching you after being invited." Ignis' tone was simultaneously teasing and comforting, giving Gladio a long look and a very softly mischievous smile. "Gladiolus. I think you should run your fingers through Noct's hair. Then rather gently down his back." Not an order, but a direction, and a way he could tell them both they were good boys.

[painedprince]

"Infinite time, infinite love," Noctis assumed. "Maybe into the next life, too. Hopefully that me doesn't have a crisis thinking he somehow manipulated you into liking me."

Gladio was thankful no one lingered overlong on his awkward petname. He was trying to be sweet! He probably should've just stuck to Princess.

"Um-" Noctis turned his head to try and look at Gladio, but it was kind of impossible, what with Gladio being behind him and all. "Yeah? Yes. Just don't stop touching me, alright?"

@painedprince

"Never." It was such a quick answer, an easy truth from Ignis as he leaned over to leave a soft peck on Noct's cheek. "If the possibility existed that lost time could be entirely made up for, then even then there would be infinite love available-- Don't make get a chart, Noctis."

"Yeah, don't make him get a chart." Prompto chimed in, recognizing the joke for what it was. Sure, he was the closest to his fiance, not really planning to let go, but it seemed kind of polite to shift a little to make room, right? Sort of?

Seeing a potential opportunity to ease things along in a direction everyone would like, Ignis asked innocently enough (while stroking over Noct's thigh with his fingertips, no less), "Noctis, would you like me to introduce Gladio to some of the things you like? Instruct him, as it were?"

[painedprince]

"I hope you don't want one." Ignis was the one with schedules, after all. "You're not going to make up for it, or- will you just stop loving me when you have? That's not really fair..."

Noct's pout was now directed at Prompto, at least until he was kissed. "It just- It makes me feel close to you guys."

He shivered when Ignis touched him.

Gladio was kind of unsure where he could fit into all this, so he just wraps his arms around Noctis' chest. "Tell me what you want, baby."

"B- ...Baby???"

@painedprince

"I hope you don't want a specific time frame for scheduling reasons, Noctis." Ignis joked dryly, giving a mock-offended sniff before lightly running fingers through the former prince's hair. "No schedules, no goals to meet. Only needs and wants to tend to." Well, maybe that seemed a little indulgent, and he was sure Gladio might have a word to say about that later, but--

Prompto, for one, was okay with sheer indulgence. "Wow, Noct, when the switch flips..." A tease and nothing more, shifting to move even closer (not that it was technically possible) so he could deliver another kiss.

And since there had been invitation... Ignis started with a semi-innocent, light touch to Noctis' hip, which slowly started to move toward his thigh. "I suppose we do owe you some time as the center of attention..."

[painedprince]

"How much time do we need? Five years? Ten years? Forever?" Noctis pouted at Ignis. As if the pout would induce reprimands instead of absolute love. Preposterous!

Gladio just shrugged, really just as lost as Ignis was, or at least seemed.

Noctis grumbled. "We had... a lot of time, earlier," he admitted. "Just- someone touch me. Or multiple people. Everyone? Everyone, preferably."

@painedprince

There was nothing which could have stopped Ignis' laugh at Gladio's comment entirely, but it was stifled. "Given all of our upbringings and expectations, I believe it safe to say that we're doing quite well in making up for lost time."

Which got Prompto to laugh and hug Noctis just a little more firmly for a few seconds. "Sure, I'll go with that. Did you just wanna cuddle for a while, Noct?"

"We could also... let the two of you have some time, if you prefer..." Not that Ignis was completely in favor of that, glancing at his fiance for Gladio's take. Still, if it was wanted, of course it would be granted.

[painedprince]

"No! I mean. Yes? It's probably unhealthy? But do I want to not cling? Absolutely not! I want you guys to hold onto me forever. There's nothing more that I could want in the whole star..."

"Even if you're a brat... It helps that you're cute, at least." Gladio didn't really push Noctis towards independence anymore. It wasn't necessary, neither was his tough love, though he liked to still tease him all the time.

@painedprince

Prompto blushed immediately, which wasn't exactly unexpected. At least they'd gotten Noctis talking, and that was better, wasn't it? "Ha, I will accept flattery."

Again Ignis looked to Gladio; not necessarily putting any burden of response on him, but feeling out his own answer. "Just a moment's discomfort Noct, it's alright. We can move at your pace." As for matter of what was healthy--

The blond got there first. "I dunno, do you think it's unhealthy? Like, you wanna not cling so much? 'Cause I bet we could help you with that instead if that's what you want... but either way, we wanna help. Even if that means clinging for now. Sexy or otherwise."

[painedprince]

If it wasn't too much, it could be nice for Gladio to receive praise from Ignis- even if it seemed the praise mostly came from babying Noctis.

"Really?" Noctis asked weakly. "I- I do want people to love Prompto. I mean- look at him!" He did just that and gave him a kiss and a nuzzle. "So, I don't know why... You know, no one ever says anything, but it can't be healthy I need to cling on to you guys like this, right? Even if you're all happy to hold me." And not that he would stop, either. Sure, there are times in his life where he's slept alone, but- Why do that when he never has to ever again?

@painedprince

Gladio's shoulder was just close enough for Ignis to leave a soft kiss on the skin before his attention turned back to Noctis. "We're still learning how to make this good for everyone, Noct. You included. There's no need to apologize."

"Yeah, what they said." Prompto chimed in, waiting until he could feel his fiance's breaths evening out before he let his hold relax. "You know we're all kinda this keyed up because you're with us, right? 'Cause we like you being here and all. So it's okay to figure out how you like it, too."

[painedprince]

slorny

sleepy and horny at the same damn time

[painedprince]

Of course Noctis didn't really think Ignis hated him, but it felt like the easiest way to express his feelings right now. Before he knew it, though, Prompto's arms were around him. "I- I'm sorry, guys, I just..." He took a deep breath as Ignis instructed. "I don't know why I'm like this."

"Noctis," it had been a while since Gladio used his full name. This was serious. He wrapped his arms around all of them, like they had done earlier in the living room. "Iggy doesn't hate you. He could never hate you. We just... We got distracted." He laid his head in the nape of Noctis' neck, hoping to show some kind of additional physical affection.

It seemed to work well enough, the weight and the heat grounding Noctis in a way. His breath evened and he relaxed a bit.

@painedprince

The question was ludicrous, of course, but Ignis couldn't quite find the right response to express as much without causing offense. Noctis needed comfort more than anything, a pause mentally placed on everything else. "Noct..."

"Mm, hold up." Showing his worry wasn't going to do anyone a whole lot of good, so Prompto tried to roll with the ease he'd just felt being so openly sexual. With a quick peck to Gladio's cheek, he was just as quick to turn and move to his fiance's side, arms wrapping around Noctis. "It's okay, husbro, we can find a way to do this that you like, alright? We'll take a sec and start again." He hoped a meaningful glance at Ignis conveyed-- Something.

Enough, the former advisor hoped. "That's right, Noct. Just breathe for a bit." Prompto was going to do a better job at calming the former prince down than anyone else, but he did find himself reaching out a hand for Gladio to take in order to pull him closer.

[painedprince]

"Yeah. I-" Oh, but wait. There were other people beside them, one of which being his fiancé. This jealousy thing was painful. "Well." He looked to their side, "I want everyone-" then back to Ignis, pouting. "Iggy... Why'd you ask them to go first? Do you hate me...?"

As fun as it would be to keep riling up Prompto, they were all quite attuned to Noct's feelings. Shit. Gladio took a deep breath. "This is hard for you, huh? Didn't you say you wanted us to be with Prompto?"

"I do! But I- ...I don't know..."

@painedprince

Ignis' soft laugh was far from mocking, warm and quiet and soothed away by another pet down Noctis' back. "Oh? Right here? Just me for now?" He did want the answer, wanted to make sure of everything requested of him, but he was also happy to let Noct think about it with another kiss.

It was a reflex to squawk when his hair was messed up, but it clearly wasn't honest offense. Couldn't possibly be when the threat of a touch made him shiver. Well, Gladio was right there, and those abs were in reach and begging to be felt up first... "You wanna know a secret, big guy? I'm kind of really interested in knowing what you want to do to me."

[painedprince]

Noctis hummed into the kiss. "I love you. Mm- Make love to me, Iggy." He laughed and flushed at saying such a ridiculous and embarrassing thing.

Prompto went from hot to adorable, and now Gladio just didn't know what to do with himself. He just decided to mess up Prompto's hair. "You really don't have a preference?" One hand ghosted over one of Prompto's nipples and the other squeezed his hipbone.

@painedprince

Ignis slowly stroked one hand up and down the length of Noctis' back, careful to avoid the worst of the old scarring. Encouraging by touch was as nice as giving praise, as far as he was concerned, more than happy to let Noct take the lead and follow to the best of his ability. "As long as you want." He assured, tongue flicking lightly against the former prince's lips when there was only the barest space between them. That was surely classified as encouragement, too.

Looking up at Gladio with a thoughtful expression, Prompto wasn't exactly done with the teasing little licks, but he did finally lift up a bit, more so he was face to face with the big guy's chest. "You want something a little more mutual, then?" He asked with a bright smile, pressing up against the larger man. "I mean, I can be in easier reach..." He could also reach easier, sliding his hands down the back of Gladio's pants to help get them further down.

[painedprince]

Noctis kissed his bottom lip, and then his top lip, and it was less a long drawn out kiss, and more like many kisses with lots of breaks in between. "If we take it slow... then it'll last longer." Because he kind of didn't want to stop, now.

Gladio sort of hoped Prompto heard that and took it to heart. Even if he could go for lots of rounds, the breaks in between were annoying. "Anywhere, huh? I guess it's kind of hard when you're-" He laughed. "It's hard when you're up here, too, but you know what I mean."

@painedprince

There certainly wasn't a single power on Eos or above which could have stopped Ignis from returning the hug. He did know, he did, but it was nice to be assured again, and--

Scratch that, Prompto could temporarily interrupt that hug, but in a way that drew no complaints. Just the opposite, Ignis unable to look away even if he'd been willing. Yes, that was certainly why the two of them were getting married. And partly why the four of them were along for the ride, Noctis' attention back on him drawing out a warm smile as much as another flush of arousal. "I have full confidence in your abilities to carry out a duty in your own way, Noct." Teasing? A little, but it was simply the truth too.

Prompto looked entirely too satisfied about both the kiss and the reaction it seemed to get from Gladio, the little moan at the hair pull unintentional. "Mmm, well... I like it when you touch me, y'know? Anywhere, everywhere. The big hands and all that." And if that wasn't enough of an invitation for Gladio to get hands all over him, the second lick to the big guy's length was longer and slower.

[painedprince]

"It's real, Iggy. It's really real." Noctis hugged him, chest to chest, to bring that point home. He had to feel it. He had to feel that Noctis was here, with him, and that he loved him.

Prompto barely broke him out of it with the- Wow. Wow this was... so much more than a peck! If he wasn't flushed already, he was now. "I- For Iggy?" Noctis tried to remember. "I think you took all my breath..." He had to give himself a moment before he was back to Ignis. How on Eos was he meant to replicate that? He began, "I'll. I'll just do it slow..."

This whole display was probably the hottest thing Gladio has ever seen, and he's seen a lot. "Damn, Blondie! Look at you go." He tugged on his hair, just a little. "You- You sure this is all? What else?"

@painedprince

"It's a fantasy until I can convince myself it's real." Ignis didn't exactly argue, and he really had come to accept the new reality of their lives. Mostly. Of course that did also mean trying to figure out how to position all of them within easy enough reach of one another, but what good was a strategist who couldn't adjust the slightly bit closer to Prompto while Noctis was working on his shirt?

With a breathy chuckle, Prompto managed to keep pace with his hand while turning his head and leaning closer to his fiance. "Here, I want you to give this to Iggy for me." Passing along a kiss was fine, right? Especially a long kiss, almost successfully distracting him from his task in Gladio's pants, but ultimately his hand never stopped moving. Pulling back, panting, he added, "Just like that." And, well, Ignis didn't look disappointed about it.

Back to making sure Prompto wasn't going to disappoint anyone, though. "So, uh. You can put your hand on my head or grab my hair if you want. Just don't push or pull too hard." That was the only warning Gladio got before the blond backed up just enough to get the Shield's pants open and lean in for a little lick to the tip of his cock. To start.

[painedprince]

"...You're right, that is a boring fantasy." Noctis smiled at him. "You get to live that every day. For me, that's just- it's only part of the fantasy, you know. I guess it is the important part, huh?" He rolled Ignis' shirt down his shoulders and kissed his collarbone, but not before giving Prompto's cheek a parting nuzzle.

Meanwhile... "I don't care what you do to me, you're so damn good at all of it. Just tell me when you want me to touch you, and where."

"...and tell me, also!" Noctis added to the conversation he very much wasn't involved in.

"And... tell princess over here, too, I guess." Gladio snickered.

@painedprince

There was a little-- Skip. Drop in conversation. In thinking about conversation, Prompto being only too glad to give more, and Ignis quite eager to lightly angle the kiss so he was more nibbling at Gladio's lip than anything. That did rather break the kiss altogether, but--

Right. Conversation. A point. Ignis delicately reached down to take Noctis' hands, pausing the task for a moment and getting full attention. "This, Noct. You undressing me, because you want to. And me letting you, because there's no pressure of duty, no terror of trying to keep protocol. Just being... regular people, exploring each other." Within reason, of course. "Almost as boring a fantasy, I'm sure."

And while Ignis mighty have been having something of a slightly hot heart-to-heart, Prompto decided to take full advantage of that distraction and start unzipping Gladio's pants with his free hand. "Soooo, you want me to be more efficient here or what?"

[painedprince]

"About... What? You telling me to undress and me doing it? Am I... Am I that incompetent?" He grumbled. Of course, Ignis would fantasize about things like Noctis cleaning his apartment or cooking his own dinner.

"Fuck," Gladio moaned into Ignis' mouth, totally not rutting against Prompto's hand.

"Oh." Noctis flushed. He pushed himself up and started to unbutton Ignis' shirt. "I really do want to know what you fantasize about. Maybe you wanna save it for the honeymoon. I mean- it's not our honeymoon, but it's... it's ours..." It was highly unlikely the couples would keep completely to themselves, even if the weddings were special.

This was all so... Gladio laughed. "I don't know. Lots of things? Enjoy the show... Would be nice if princess and blondie could stay on task, though. Maybe..." He took the chance to kiss Ignis while Prompto was occupied. They probably looked like a gymnastic stunt gone horribly wrong.

[painedprince]

"Oh." Noctis flushed. He pushed himself up and started to unbutton Ignis' shirt. "I really do want to know what you fantasize about. Maybe you wanna save it for the honeymoon. I mean- it's not our honeymoon, but it's... it's ours..." It was highly unlikely the couples would keep completely to themselves, even if the weddings were special.

This was all so... Gladio laughed. "I don't know. Lots of things? Enjoy the show... Would be nice if princess and blondie could stay on task, though. Maybe..." He took the chance to kiss Ignis while Prompto was occupied. They probably looked like a gymnastic stunt gone horribly wrong.

@painedprince

"Just being a good boy is far too easy for you." And while Ignis was clearly joking, it was intended to be a compliment. "I think I might like you in my lap without anything in the way. I don't suppose you could aid in the removal of my clothes..?"

With a bright laugh, Prompto gave the surprise in his hand a harder stroke with a squeeze to the base before sliding his hand up again for another. "You just might, you know." But Noct's request-- Well, it wasn't like he couldn't do it. Just a little shifting and a little bending backward and to the side, slightly awkward when it came to keeping his hand down Gladio's pants but he was not going to stop that unless he absolutely had to.

Of course allowances were going to be made for what Noctis wanted... particularly because Ignis was so very alright with watching everything going on up close. Still, the former adviser sighed as he looked directly at his fiance over the kissing pair. "What is there to do with them?"

[painedprince]

"I... Yeah. What do you want me to do, Iggy?" He looked up at him. Frankly, he was already starting to get cozy and sleepy from all the petting. Maybe following directions would help him stay present.

Speaking of present... Gladio grunted. "Surprise!" He was painfully hard already. "Feel like I could get off just... watching those two." And perhaps he had at one point.

"You would have been a prince, too..." Noctis mused. "Prom, come here? Come kiss me?" Ah, what a mess. They could never be separated for long.

@painedprince

"Mm, very much want I want, Noct." Ignis confirmed, voice low and soft as he moved in for a kiss. "Not that you aren't naturally good, of course..." Speaking of optimistic. "Are you in a mood to follow directions or would you rather take it easy for a bit?" He was somewhat determined not to use the phrase "pillow prince", or at least not out loud.

Prompto, meanwhile, was distracted. It didn't seem like a problem, grinning brightly. And since he'd been invited, it was quick work to get the belt loosened, hand sliding down and taking a soft but confident hold of what he found underneath. "See? Something to be optimistic about." Especially with a playful little stroke.

Turning his head to regard Noctis again, Prompto was still more than a little distracted, but he had to admit, "Husbro, you are still the best kind of royalty in my eyes." Because he would used the term "pillow prince" as often as needed.

[painedprince]

"Yeah. I'll be a good boy for everyone. Is that- That's what you want, right?" It would've been odd for Ignis to get possessive here of all places.

"Gladio being a good boy for me... Imagine." Gladio snickered. "So, you're an optimist, then? Since you're asking... Why don't you slip your hand down my pants? Got a present for you."

Corny as hell, all of them. "Good ones? You can put stickers on them, I don't care. I mean, it's not traditional, but... when are we ever traditional? But, I guess you are marrying former royalty." The only good thing about it was envisioning Prompto as a prince, even if he was already perfectly dashing as a crownsguard.

Noctis made a low noise at the petting and the praise and snuggled up closer to Ignis. "Yeah... 'course. I'll always be a good boy for you."

"That's hot as fuck..." Gladio cursed under his breath, as if Ignis and Noctis weren't close enough to him to hear it. Oh, right. Prompto. He focused again on him when he was kissed and laughed at the way he touched him. "So you're a tits guy, huh?"

"Mm... I like the way you are, too, Prom. Just wear whatever makes you feel good, and that would make you happy when you look back on the photos later." That, of course, makes him imagine growing old with Prompto. "We'll probably be looking at them for... a long time. Probably frame them, right?"
