King & Companion
Chapter 9
X*X(1 Week Later)X*X
It had been just over a week since Noctis's birthday, and the only thing that had changed between Prompto and Noctis was that they had become much closer as a couple. The blonde had convinced Noctis into them having sex every few nights, that way on the nights they didn't, they could actually get the sleep they needed, but still keep their sex life quite active. After all, the raven's libido was more than prepared to satisfy the smaller male. It was something Prompto honestly believed he would never tire of.
However, since the Nightwalker had sucked him off each time before they actually had sex, the Shifter wanted to return the favor. He would get his chance at some point, but he wasn't going to push the topic just yet.
As the time had passed, though, it was nearing the time when Zidane and Mikoto would be leaving for their trip to Lindbulm. And even though Prompto knew he would miss them, he hoped they would keep in contact and have a good time.
Right now, though, the blonde was napping at Noctis's feet in wolf form as the raven did his usual paperwork, something that had recently become routine for them. Noctis silently worked, the sound of his pen moving along the paper being one of the few noises filling the room. The other was that of the Nightwalker humming in thought every so often. The quiet was suddenly interrupted, though, when there was a knock on the door, making Prompto raise his head from his paws curiously.
"Enter," Noctis said calmly. And when the door opened, Ignis and Gladio stepped into the room.
"Noct, I believe you should take a break for now."
Blinking, the Nightwalker looked up to Ignis in suspicion. "…What's going on, Iggy?"
"It's the council," Gladio answered, making Prompto tense. The last time the council had needed to speak with Noctis, it almost ended really badly for him.
"Oh now what do they want?" the raven groaned in annoyance.
"I believe they've caught wind of your current situation…"
"…greeeaaat…"
'Noct…? They know about us, don't they?' Prompto guessed, looking up at the Nightwalker worriedly.
"Certainly sounds like it…" Noctis sighed out.
'…Then I'm coming, too,' the wolf told him firmly. 'This involves both of us.'
"I'd rather not, but…might be best, yeah…" Noctis sighed as he stood up from his seat. Prompto got to his paws, and padded out alongside Noctis, Gladio and Ignis following as they went to see the council. Despite the news they'd just been given, Noctis didn't appear to be that bothered, and even Ignis and Gladio showed nothing of what they were feeling. It only took a little bit for them to reach the meeting room, which Prompto had, thus far, only seen from the outside before.
When they got inside, there was immediately an irate voice from one of the council members.
"What is that thing doing here?" he demanded, making Prompto give a small whine and fold his ears back.
"First off," Noctis snarled out dangerously, "good day to you, as well. Secondly, is that any way to treat a fellow resident of the Citadel?"
"That Shifter may reside here under your permission, Your Majesty, but he is not a resident," the council member huffed, drawing murmured agreement from the others.
"I beg to disagree," Noctis said simply as he moved toward the seat clearly meant for him, gesturing for Prompto to follow him. "It is exactly because he resides here that he is a resident," he said as he sat down. The council member grumbled, but didn't push the subject. The blonde sat down by Noctis's side, not wanting to shift back at all during this meeting, because he didn't want to show anything in his expression. Gladio leaned back against the wall behind Noctis, keeping his guard up.
Ignis took his stance on Noctis's other side, briefly adjusting his glasses. Noctis, meanwhile, settled in his seat solemnly, before he briefly reached down and rubbed Prompto's head gently.
"Now then…" he said then. "Let's get to the point, shall we?"
"It's come to our attention that you have been pursuing relations with this Shifter," another council member said coolly.
Noctis remained silent for several moments, clearly unimpressed by the news. "…and if I am?" he said simply, rubbing his thumb along the blonde's ear. "What business is that of yours, hm?"
"Do you not realize the dangers this poses for the kingdom?!" demanded another member of the council. "Have you even considered what the people would think?!"
"…Again; what's your point?" the Nightwalker repeated.
"You must clearly remember what danger Shifters pose," a different council member snapped. "When he decides to attack someone, he will not be excused, regardless of if he is someone you're in relations with or not." The hidden threat underlying the assumed words made Prompto hunker down a little, his tail tucking.
"…You mean 'if'," Noctis corrected simply. "There's a difference."
"There is no 'if' when it comes to Shifters," snarled one council member. "It's only a matter of time before they strike!" Prompto whimpered at the accusation; he wouldn't attack anyone unless he had to defend himself or someone else.
Of course, Noctis didn't seem the least bit impressed, as he tapped his fingers along the table. "…and you have proof of this?"
"Pardon?"
"You have proof of Shifters who've lived peacefully with people for years suddenly attacking them?"
"…W-well…n-no…"
This, too, didn't surprise him one bit. "So you have no proof whatsoever…and you expect me to take these 'concerns' seriously?"
Prompto looked up at Noctis gratefully, scooting a bit closer before hesitantly speaking. 'I have no reason to attack anyone unless they're threatening me or those I care about…just like anyone else would…'
Noctis didn't say anything in response, though he did rub the blonde's head softly.
"Shut your trap, you—"
"You do not want to finish that," Noctis interrupted icily, snarling dangerously, which immediately silenced the man. Regardless, Prompto ducked his head timidly with a whimper. He couldn't help that he was so submissive, though. Noctis, in turn, reached down a little further and ran his hand along the blonde's fur.
"Now…if you have nothing more to say, then I see no more reason to discuss this any further. You all know I am unable to bear a biological heir…thus it should be of no consequence whom I choose to spend my life with."
At the mention of the lack of an heir, Prompto looked up at his lover in surprise, not having expected or known that, but he didn't comment on it.
"…Fine. Then this meeting is adjourned," the first council member growled, though it was clear he didn't like the idea.
"Good," Noctis said firmly as he stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me…"
Without another word, Noctis nodded to Ignis and Gladio, then rubbed Prompto's head, and headed back out the room. The blonde was quick to follow, not wanting to look back at the council as he trotted out of the room. He heard Gladio and Ignis following at a small distance, the two humans not seeing the need to stick close to the couple.
'Hey, Noct?' Prompto said as he walked alongside Noctis.
"Hmhmm?"
'How come you can't be a father? Not that I'm complaining, since it means we can be together, but I'm curious.'
Noctis looked over briefly, before he sighed. "I'll explain later…once we're in the room."
'Oh, okay…' the wolf nodded, not wanting to push the issue. He would just have to wait for now.
As they headed over to the room, though, Ignis interrupted them. "Noct, you're free to leave the rest of the papers for tomorrow."
At that, Noctis looked back to the sandy blonde. After a moment, though, he smiled. "Thanks, Ignis."
Prompto nodded to Ignis as well, wordlessly thanking him, before looking up at Noctis in silent question as both Ignis and Gladio left. The man didn't say anything, and instead he headed to their room. The Shifter stuck close to his side as he went with, not shifting back to human form until they were in their room. Once he had, he went over and sat on their bed, waiting for Noctis to join him so they could talk. The Nightwalker walked over and silently dropped back onto the bed with a heavy sigh.
"…You okay…?" Prompto asked softly as he laid back as well, curling up against his lover.
"…yeah… just annoyed at the damn council… but that's nothing new…"
"Well, yeah. Especially after that time when I was eight when they tried to basically give Zidane, Mikoto, Kuja, and me the boot…" the blonde sighed. Noctis merely hummed softly. "So… Are you going to tell me?"
For a few moments, Noctis didn't say anything, before he sighed. "…Nightwalkers are infertile…"
"Really?" Prompto blinked, surprised. He then smiled softly, before kissing the raven's jaw. "At least I don't have to worry about you somehow getting me pregnant, then," he chuckled. "I remember some of the couples of my pack were males, and they still could have children. Not all Shifters can bear, but some can."
"That so?" Noctis murmured curiously, before he hummed lazily as he climbed back further onto the bed. The smaller male followed after, remaining curled into Noctis's side.
"Yeah. I dunno if I can, of course, but it doesn't matter," he shrugged. "Besides, I don't mind." The Nightwalker smiled softly, before he shut his eyes lazily. Prompto hummed contently, pressing a chaste kiss to the taller male's jaw, before settling as well.
"Hm…" Noctis hummed as he reached around lazily and patted the blonde's head. The Shifter gave a pleased sound, lightly leaning into the touch, before closing his eyes and falling asleep against his lover.
X*X*X*X*X*X*X
As awareness returned to him, Noctis groaned softly, reaching up to rub at his eyes. As he tried to sit up, though, he realized Prompto was lying on top of him. Which, in turn, made him chuckle as he reached over and patted the boy on his head. Prompto gave a soft whine as he was woken, before slowly opening his eyes with a groan.
"Ugh… What time is it?" he grumbled.
Noctis chuckled softly. "Time to wake up. How's that sound?"
"Sounds like a shitty time," the blonde complained, yawning after he spoke.
This earned him a soft laugh from Noctis. "Maybe… but I'll bet Zidane and Mikoto will be wondering where you went."
"Yeah, true…" Prompto sighed, before stretching out in Noctis's lap and then sitting up. "I'm gonna miss them while they're gone…"
"Oh come on, it's not like we'll never see them again."
"I know, but I'll still miss them."
Chuckling softly, Noctis ruffled the blonde's hair. "C'mon… let's go see if they need help packing, kay?"
"Kay," the smaller male nodded, sliding out of the raven's lap and their bed. With a small smile, Noctis climbed off the bed as well, stretching briefly as he did. Prompto tucked himself into Noctis's side as they left to the twins' room, giving a pleased hum. This made the Nightwalker smile, as he wrapped his arm around the blonde's shoulders while they went.
When they got to the twins' room, unsurprisingly, Zidane was running around the room, while Mikoto watched him, her stuff neatly packed in her bag.
"Having some difficulty, Zidane?" Noctis chuckled.
"Nope! Not at all!"
"I beg to differ," Prompto snorted in amusement. Zidane merely stuck his tongue out as he pushed some of his things in his trunk. "Are you even gonna fit everything you need in there packing like that?"
"I'll be fine!" Zidane assured, making the other chuckle.
"I take it you're all packed and ready, huh Mikoto?" the wolf Shifter guessed as he looked at her.
"Yes," Mikoto said with a nod.
"You know, I'm gonna miss you guys," Prompto admitted to them with a small, sad smile.
Zidane blinked up at the blonde as he pushed his trunk shut. Finally, though, he snorted and walked over. "Dude, c'mon!" he said, slapping the taller blonde on his shoulder. "We ain't gonna be gone forever; we'll be back before you know it."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I won't miss you," the taller blonde pointed out.
Mikoto hummed softly, before she stood up and walked over, giving the other blonde a hug. "It'll be okay," she assured him. Prompto hugged her back briefly, before smiling a little.
"Promise you guys will text me?" he asked.
"No duh! Course we will!" Zidane chuckled. The wolf Shifter smiled in relief at that, before nodding.
"And don't forget to take some pictures, okay?" he added.
"We won't," Mikoto said with a soft smile. Prompto nodded in satisfaction, before looking at Noctis.
"I guess Ignis is probably waiting for them, huh?" he guessed.
"Most likely," Noctis chuckled. "May as well head over so as not to keep him waiting."
"Yeah, wouldn't want to make him throw a fit, would we?" Zidane chuckled out, making Prompto snicker. Noctis allowed a smirk of his own as they headed off, the twins carrying their bags behind them. They soon arrived at the garage, where Ignis was indeed waiting for them by the Regalia, the trunk already open for the suitcases.
"Right on time," Ignis said as the twins approached. "Ready to go?"
"Yep!" Zidane quipped as he tossed his suitcase in the trunk, with Mikoto placing hers on top of his.
The Nightwalker chuckled softly, before he turned to Ignis. "Think you'll be back on time?"
"It will be a close one, but I believe I can make it while still following traffic properly, yes."
"Cool."
"Don't speed back," Prompto teased, knowing full well that Ignis wouldn't dare if he could help it. Ignis merely chuckled lightly as he moved to the driver's seat and the twins climbed into the back of the Regalia. "Take care, guys! We'll see you when you get back!" the wolf Shifter called as the engine was started.
Mikoto smiled and waved, while Zidane grinned and quipped, "Don't do any stupid shit, ya hear?!"
"I won't, but same to you!" Prompto laughed, leaning against Noctis's side. The blonde grinned widely as he waved at the taller blonde, before Ignis pulled out of the parking spot and drove off. "And they're gone…" the smaller male sighed once the Regalia was out of sight.
"Yeah…" Noctis murmured softly.
"Guess I'll be caring for the Chocobos by myself for a month," Prompto commented softly, a light note to his voice.
"Don't worry; I doubt they'll be much of a bother to you," the King assured with a warm smile.
"I know, I was just messing. I bet they'll be overjoyed when those two get back," the Shifter chuckled.
"I'll bet they will be."
"Think Kuja might be willing to come back for a small visit while his younger siblings are gone?" Prompto inquired, looking up at the raven curiously.
"Hmm… he should be on break in a few days, so he might be willing to, yeah."
"Cool! I'll text him here in a bit, then," the blonde smiled happily.
Noctis chuckled as they began to leave the garage behind. "Sounds like a plan." Prompto remained tucked into the taller male's side as they headed back inside, before pulling out his phone to text Kuja.
*Me: Hey Kuja, are you up?*
It actually took a few minutes before an answer came from the oldest Shifter.
*Kuja: Am now. Classes here are during daytime, dear.
Me: I figured, but I wanted to ask while I can, would you want to come home for your break? Zidane and Mikoto left for Lindbulm just now, and I wanna see you. It's been a while!
Kuja: …Must I really?
Me: Please? Pretty please? I'll beg if I have to! XD
Kuja: Uh-huh… sure you will.
Me: Do I have to have Noct take a pic and send it to you for me?
Kuja: If you trust him well enough with a camera…
Me: XP Of course I do!*
Prompto then looked at Noctis. "Could you take a picture of me while I'm in wolf form, begging? Kuja doesn't believe me when I say I'll beg for him to come home for break," he asked with a snort.
That made Noctis almost choke on a laugh. "Hahah… sure."
Prompto handed his phone to his lover, before shifting into wolf form and sitting down, then raising himself up so he looked like a begging dog, pouting at Noctis. 'Take it, quick! I don't know how long I can sit like this!' he said hurriedly. Noctis chuckled as he adjusted the phone's camera, before he finally snapped a few pictures, just to be absolutely safe. Once Noctis had lowered the phone, the blonde shifted back, before taking back his phone. "Thanks," he smiled, laughing at the pictures. "Good grief, I look pathetic!" he snorted. "These should make Kuja believe me." He then sent a couple of them, followed with a message.
*Me: Here, now do you believe me?*
There was no immediate response from the other Shifter; likely because he was laughing on the other hand if Prompto knew him well enough.
*Kuja: Fine, fine. I am surprised our monarch is as well versed in photography, though…*
The message made Prompto blink, before he sighed with a slight shake of his head.
*Me: You already knew he was King, huh?
Kuja: Did you not, then? Dear, we've lived in the Citadel our whole lives. Who did you THINK he was?
Me: Well, remember, I wouldn't have figured it out because I was only 5 when he found me, and I didn't know what a King was at the time. :P
Kuja: And you've had long enough to learn, dear. It took me less than a year.
Me: Yeah, yeah. I just grew up thinking it was part of life. So, are you coming home or not?
Kuja: Fine, dear. If I really must…
Me: Thank you, Kuja! :D
Kuja: Don't get too used to it, dear.
Me: I know, but I know that you gotta miss us, too. ;D*
The message was read, but no response came, and it didn't appear that Kuja was typing either. Prompto shrugged, but he was smiling nonetheless. "Looks like he'll be coming home for break," he told Noctis.
"Good to know," Noctis said with a nod.
Looking at his phone again, the smaller male chuckled, "Guess he went back to sleep, too.
"Heh… Sounds like a good plan, actually…"
"I gotta admit, you're right," Prompto nodded, yawning slightly. With a soft chuckle, Noctis wrapped his arm around the blonde's shoulders, guiding him back to their shared room. The Shifter was quick to change when they got back, before settling into their bed with an expectant look at the taller male. He was tired right now, to be completely honest, but if Noctis wanted to fool around a little, he wouldn't deny him, that was for sure.
Noctis gave Prompto a look before he asked, "And just what is that look for?"
"Just waiting for you to get into bed, that's all," Prompto replied, pouting. "I'm innocent."
"Uh-huh… Sure, you are," Noctis chuckled as he finished changing.
"Okay, I'm not always innocent, but I am this time!" the blonde insisted. Noctis merely smirked as he came over and climbed into bed without a word said. Prompto curled up against him once the raven was in bed with him, kissing his jaw softly. "I love you," he murmured.
Noctis hummed softly in turn, kissing the blonde quietly. "Love you, too…"
The smaller male kissed Noctis slowly, tenderly, meeting his lips in a series of long, slow, loving kisses.
After a few moments of this, Noctis pulled back slowly. "'Totally innocent', huh?"
Prompto blushed, embarrassed at having been busted. "You can't blame me… You're amazing…" he mumbled shyly. Chuckling, Noctis tugged Prompto closer and kissed him again. The Shifter responded eagerly, glad that he wasn't being turned down.
Humming, Noctis pulled Prompto even closer, wrapping his arm around his waist. Prompto gave a pleased noise into the kiss at being pulled closer, wrapping his own arms around the Nightwalker's neck. The raven moaned from the back of his throat, before he rolled over, pulling Prompto on top of him.
The blonde moaned as well, the sound muffled by Noctis's mouth over his, before he tentatively ran his hands down Noctis's sides. At that sound, Noctis chuckled as he pulled back. "Something wrong?"
"No, it feels good," the smaller male assured him, pecking his lips. Noctis chuckled, before he tugged Prompto back in again, kissing him softly. Prompto hummed pleasantly into the kiss, before he started to lightly run his fingers up and down along the raven's sides.
This made the Nightwalker hiss briefly, before he moaned, as he nipped at the blonde's lips softly. The Shifter whimpered briefly at the nip, before moaning quietly into the kiss, his body beginning to heat up. When Noctis pulled back, he murmured, "Feels good?"
"Y-yeah," Prompto whispered, pressing a kiss to his lover's jaw.
"Good," the Nightwalker purred, running the pads of his fingers along the boy's spine. The blonde shivered lightly at the caressing touch, loving the feeling.
"So…" Noctis said suddenly, smirking. "Are you going to keep laying there or are you going to do something?"
Prompto blinked a little in surprise, before gaining a cheeky look as he reached down to palm Noctis's crotch. Naturally, this made the raven groan slightly, but he merely smirked at the blonde as he kissed him again. The smaller male wrapped his fingers around the taller male's half-hardened cock in his pants, before remembering how Noctis would pleasure him, and copying the movements with his own hand.
This, in turn, had Noctis hissing out through his teeth. "Fuck…!" he hissed out. Prompto smirked at the response, beginning to kiss along his lover's neck before slipping his hand past the hem of Noctis's pajama pants and underwear and resuming his hands motions from before. This made Noctis gasp, before it devolved into a groan, as his hand curled around the blonde's shoulder.
The Shifter smiled against Noctis's neck, pressing one last kiss to the pale skin there before removing his hand the raven's pants and underwear. He then slid down the taller male's body, pulling down those obstructive clothes…right before he took Noctis's cock into his mouth.
Noctis choked on a cry, before it shifted into a pleased moan. "Oh f-fuck… Prom…!"
Prompto smirked slightly around the flesh in his mouth, before beginning to slowly lap at it, and then closing his lips around it and applying light suction. Groaning heavily, Noctis bit his lip harshly, as he curled his hand into the sheet beneath him. Then the blonde dragged his tongue along the underside with a pleased hum.
"Agh…! Nrgh…!" Noctis choked out. Prompto was definitely pleased with his lover's reactions, especially since he had never done this before, clearly. That's when he took as much of Noctis's cock into his mouth as he could, wrapping the fingers of one hand around what he couldn't fit in his mouth, sucking harshly. "Fu…!" Noctis hissed, burying his hand into the blonde's hair.
The smaller male began to bob his head steadily, almost obscene slurping sounds filling the air as some saliva mixed with Noctis's precum as Prompto sucked the taller male off.
"Shit…! Pr…Prom…!"
But Prompto refused to stop unless he was pulled off. He wanted to return the favor for Noctis by pleasuring him for once, instead of Noctis only pleasuring him. He could tell the Nightwalker was very close to coming, though, so he deep-throated him, swallowing a bit around Noctis's cock. The Nightwalker tried to speak again, but it broke off into a choked cry as his release hit and washed down Prompto's throat. The Shifter swallowed all of Noctis's cum, swallowing twice, before pulling away with a somewhat smug look as he licked his lips to get rid of any remaining cum.
Noctis chuckled as he tugged the blonde closer, kissing him briefly. "You learn fast, hm?"
"Only from the best," Prompto snickered, kissing back.
This made the other chuckle. "Well… I suppose I can't leave you hanging, hm?" Noctis murmured, as he reached down and palmed Prompto through his own pants. The blonde gasped at the touch, before his hips bucked a little into it. He didn't realize he'd gotten so hard himself just from sucking Noctis off. Smiling, Noctis pressed a soft kiss to the blonde's neck, as he slipped his hand into the Shifter's pants.
Immediately, Prompto moaned, shivering as he was teased. Noctis smiled at the sound, nipping along his throat, before he moved his hand faster. The boy had been waiting long enough, and, to be fair, they really needed to get some sleep. The smaller male didn't think he could hold out for long, which for him, really sucked. He wanted it to keep going, but he couldn't prolong the inevitable. As his lover moved his hand faster, he gave a loud cry of pleasure as he came into Noctis's hand, before going limp on top of him.
Noctis allowed a soft chuckle, before he reached down and tugged the blankets over them both. "Let's get some rest, kay?"
"Kay…" Prompto murmured tiredly, managing to snuggle even closer before whispering, "Goodnight, Noct… Love you…"
"Love you, too…" Noctis murmured softly, smiling as he let his eyes fall shut. The Shifter fell asleep not long after, a pleased sigh escaping him as he did.
