Warning: Noctis/Prompto.
Chapter Three
When sunlight streamed into the tent, Prompto stirred and fluttered his bright blue orbs open. The sunshine felt good radiating against his tired, aching muscles. They had been beaten bloody by Gladio during his intense training sessions. He had been the most, but he didn't mind. He had just taken the tiring training sessions as a good workout routine. It was just plenty of helpful tricks and pointers for battle and nothing else.
A smile spread onto his pink lips from the warmth surrounding him. He sighed and snuggled his face into the soft pillow laying underneath his head.
The warm wind wafted around outside and blew into the tent, ruffling his golden locks. It tousled his hair and playfully puffed blonde silky strands into his face.
He sighed and tucked those stray golden locks behind his ear. The wind still kept ruffling his hair around, though. It agitated him, but brought him aware to a major problem. His perfumed flowery scent had overtaken the tent, lingering everywhere and not even the wind could get rid of it.
He sighed and tried to sit straight up, but failed from the nicely muscled arm coiled around his waist. Yet he didn't have to turn around to know which alpha was clinging onto him.
"N-Noct," he stuttered out. "Wake up."
He had only received a soft murmur in response. It was made out of hot defiance - a protest against his wishes.
"You're holding me too tight!" he grumbled. "Come on, bro!"
His alpha best friend still refused to let him go and began sniffing his neck, enjoying his omega scent.
"N-Noct! You're not thinking clearly," he said. "You're gonna bite me again!"
The Lucis prince just chuckled in amusement, his low voice and warm breathe blowing against his ear. It made him shudder and clench his frighten blue orbs shut, his body shrinking and curling into itself out of terror.
"As much as I want to, Prompto, I won't. So, you can relax," Noctis said, his cool lips purposefully brushing against the blonde's ear. "Your scent is just so amazing. But, I bet you already know that. Don't you, Prompto?"
A few teardrops started sliding down his freckled cheeks, dripping down his trembling chin and soaking into his plush pillows. He was still frightened of the young alpha, even if he had promised not to bite him again. His best friend's restraint couldn't be trusted, not when he had already done it and claimed he still wanted to, but wouldn't just for his sake.
"Is that why you always hide it, you know, suppress it with those little pills of yours?" Noctis asked, closing his eyes and savoring Prompto's sweet scent. "Damn! How are you still left unclaimed?"
That simply statement by his best friend appalled him. This is why he had been frightened of telling them his status. He had a feeling they wouldn't accept him, treat him like those thugs littering the sidewalks at night. Yet he had pushed down those fears of his, thinking that their rank of nobility would shine through and they would treat him equally, like a proper nobleman should. It seems like he had been wrong, however.
"Wh-what?" Prompto stuttered, his teary bright blue orbs opening and widening in surprise. "H-how can you say that? How can you say such a thing?!"
He started struggling, squirming around in Noctis' embrace, but to only get pinned down onto his back. And yet, he didn't stop trying to throw the young alpha off of him.
"Relax, Prompto!" Noctis said, gently smiling and wiping away his tears. "You're going to be fine. I'll keep you safe. You can trust me. We're friends, aren't we?"
After a while, he had relaxed into Noctis' embrace. His fingers had loosened and untangled from Noctis' shoulders, his palms sliding then down Noctis' muscled arms and resting on top of his wrists. He bit down onto his lower lip, peering up at Noctis with teary blue orbs before bursting into a whole new wave of sobs.
"Noct, I'm scared!" Prompto confessed, his thoughts shifting then to the two royal retainers outside. "Wh-what will Ignis and Gladio think of me?"
The Lucis prince just mischievously grinned and stroked his freckled cheek. It sent an electric jolt through his body. He groaned and turned his face away, clenching his blue orbs shut and trembling at the young alpha's mere touch. His heat suppressant had weared off, after all.
"I'm sure they already suspect, like I had earlier. But, if it makes you feel any better, we can just keep this a secret between ourselves," Noctis said, tilting his head to the side and smiling down at the blonde. "Besides, I don't want them knowing, anyway."
That possessive tone in Noctis' voice already told him something. He had captured the attention of his young alpha prince. It frightened him and yet also excited him at the same time. The arrival of his early heat yearned to be just quenched already and it seemed to have taken quite a liking to Noctis' scent, too.
"Why not?" Prompto asked, peering up at Noctis with half-lidded eyes. "What's the point of hiding it from them? My omega status is just going to inconvenience everyone. They should know, then."
His questions made Noctis frown and remain silent. He quickly stiffened and then tensed up out of fear, not liking the animalistic growl resonating from deep within the young alpha. Yet the Lucis prince came closer towards him, leaning down and whispering straight into his ear with that deep voice of his.
"It's quite simple, Prompto. I don't want them to know. You're not an inconvenience, either. You shouldn't say such stupid things like that, especially when you know they're not true," Noctis said, playfully licking his freckled cheek before turning around and crawling towards the tent's exit. "Take your suppressants, Prom. I'll wait for you outside."
XOXO
Once he had taken the suppressants, Prompto ventured outside and met with his other friends. He had noticed that they both behaved differently around him. He kept getting suspicious stares tossed his direction by them. He couldn't help himself but to just shrink underneath their scrutinizing gaze nearly every time they looked at him. Their stares intimidated him, made him feel guilty for not telling them the truth. Yet how could he tell them, especially since now Noctis didn't want him to? Why, though?
"Did you sleep well last night, Prompto?" Ignis asked, touching the blonde's forehead with the palm of his right hand. "But, I'm guessing you did. There wasn't as much tossing and turning around, like last time."
In an instant, he had blushed and started avoiding eye contact. It wasn't because of Ignis touching his forehead. In fact, he had become accustomed to Ignis' mothering antics at this point into the roadtrip. He had only blushed because of Ignis' sudden question. He knew deep down why he had slept so well. His sweet slumber occured only because of Noctis. The Lucis prince had held him tightly throughout the entire night and made him feel protected, like no strange alpha prowling out in the woods could catch whiff of his scent and try to take a bite out of him.
"Yeah, I did sleep good," Prompto replied, nervously scratching the back of his head and watching Ignis' emerald green eyes narrow at him. "Honestly, I'm fine, Iggy! There's no need to worry about me."
However, Ignis wasn't convinced and darted his emerald orbs towards Noctis. And yet, Prompto saw it and lowered his head. He wanted to fess up and confide in Ignis about actually being an omega. He was terrified, though. That's why he hadn't and chose to trust in Noctis, his best friend, of all people.
"You know you can always talk to me. Right, Prompto?"
"Yeah, of course! It's just that there's nothing really for us to talk about. I promise, Iggy."
"Well, if there is, I'm here for you."
"Thanks, Iggy!"
XOXO
An afternoon of fighting ended and Prompto felt so gross, sweat and dirt clung onto his freckled skin, not even coming off from the cool breeze blowing through the tiny town. He sighed and clawed at his matted bangs, trying to peel his golden locks from his wet, pinkish colored forehead. His friends looked just as exhausted and filthy as him. They were sweaty and covered in grime. Their handsome faces hidden behind layers of dirt. And yet, Noctis still radiated to him, to his heat the most.
"Shit!" Noctis said, running his fingers through his ebony, silky locks. "I feel so disgusting."
"Get used to it, princess!" Gladio teased, earning himself a frown from Noctis. "This is how real alphas live."
"Shut up, Gladio!" Noctis snapped, his elegant shaped eyebrows scrunching up together in frustration. "Let's stop at a motel, Iggy! I want to take a shower."
"I second that!" Prompto said, flopping down beside Noctis on the gravel streets and leaning his head against the Regalia. "I feel disgusting, too."
"Alright, alright! Let's go search for somewhere to stay," Ignis said, putting his hands onto his hips and staring down at Noctis and Prompto. "Get up, you two!"
XOXO
After finding a motel, Prompto quickly darted inside of his shared bedroom with Noctis. It was a fairly large room, with a king sized bed, too. A smile slowly curled into his lips when he remembered the flustered receptionist's face. The young girl had blushed profusely while booking the bedroom for Noctis and himself.
"I call the bathroom first," Noctis declared, taking off his shirt and throwing it onto the floor. "Sorry, sunshine!"
"That's fine," Prompto muttered, averting his bright blue orbs from Noctis' shirtless form. "Just don't take too long. Okay?"
"Sure," Noctis replied, stepping into the tiny bathroom before turning to look at him. "Do me a favor? Choose my pajamas for me."
"Really, Noct?"
"Don't front, photo boy. You know you like playing dress up."
"Shut up! You're just a really good model and everything looks so good on you!"
"Yeah, yeah! Whatever, I'm gonna shower now."
XOXO
When Noctis finished showering, Prompto stepped into the bathroom and started stripping out of his dirty clothes. He groaned in disgust and tossed them then into a pile onto the floor before stepping inside of the shower.
Upon turning the faucets, he had sighed underneath the flow of scorching hot water, loosening his tired and aching muscles from all the training and fighting and cramped nights stuffed inside of a tent.
As the temperature increased inside of the bathroom, he had whimpered and leaned against the wall. The heat in his body was rising and traveling down into his southern regions. He groaned in agitation and hugged himself, his bright blue orbs clenching shut while his hands started slowly running up and down his arms.
Eventually, he had surrendered to his bodily needs and lowered his right hand down towards his half erect shaft, cupping it and gently sliding his hand up and down in that familiar rhythm. His teeth scraped over his lower lip, biting down onto it and suppressing any moans he might make.
Meanwhile, he had started imagining someone in his mind, an imaginary alpha partner, not just any regular alpha, however. It was Noctis, his best friend and Lucis' young prince, holding him and promising to take care of him during these times. A soft whimper slipped out and his head leaned against the wall, his legs trembling and ready to give out from the bliss so closely approaching him.
When he had finally released, he fell down onto the tiles and sat shaking underneath the gush of scorching hot water, his imaginary alpha partner still holding and comforting and promising to take care of him more in his mind. He hugged himself again, his hands sliding up and down his arms as he tried to calm his heavy breathing.
XOXO
After finishing his shower, Prompto changed into his pajamas and stepped into the bedroom. He saw Noctis already laying in bed, playing King's Knight on his phone. He blushed and avoided eye contact with the young alpha, ashamed for imagining him and master bathing to his image. He bit down onto his lips and proceeded to dig through his bags, searching for his suppressants.
"Relax, Prom. You don't need to take them right now," Noctis said, smiling and setting his phone down onto the nightstand. "You're just with me. We're going to sleep, too."
That's exactly why he wanted to take his suppressants. The things he did in the shower were quite embarrassing. He didn't want to do anything similar in his dreams while laying beside Noctis, either.
"Come here, Prom. It's okay. You're going to be fine," Noctis promised, like he had promised in his imagination earlier. "Come on, Prom. You can trust me."
He became convinced and placed the suppressants inside his belongings before crawling into bed beside Noctis, snuggling underneath the blankets and feeling Noctis' arm coil around his waist, like usual.
"Just relax, okay? I promise I won't do anything," Noctis said, reassuring him. "Just go to sleep."
He couldn't help being tense, not when Noctis' scent was surrounding him, or when his heat was tormenting him. He just wanted it to be quenched, but it seemed like he'd have to wait for the fire to go out naturally rather than by an alpha.
"Goodnight, Noct," he whispered, whimpering when the Lucis prince tightened his hold and snuggled closer. "See you in the morning."
"Yeah," Noctis muttered, his face burying into the blonde's neck. "Sweet dreams, Prom."
