Disclaimer: I am back with something new once again. Now I am aware that perhaps I should be working on a certain arc...however it would be no fun if I just worked on that arc alone. Besides, this idea had been in my head for a while. I wanted to finally give it a chance to shine.

NOTICE: These drabbles contain Lightis and some other couples depending on the story, and are in no particular order, nor do they tell a specific tale of just one story. Some of the drabbles might have a second part in later chapters, and if readers become fond of a certain drabble story, that drabble might have the chance to become a new full story.

Notes: In a world that stands beyond time and death itself, solitude finds a miracle in the company of an unexpected other.

Time flew by like smooth clean water rushing down the waterfalls, never stopping for a second to wait for anyone or anything.

All this was what the Goddess Lightning saw. She sighed and leaned back against her crystal throne, staring upwards blankly deep in thought. The idle days seemed to grow slower and slower for the warrior goddess.

Eventually, Lightning sighed and jumped off the crystal throne and walked over to the balcony overlooking all of Valhalla.
A light gush of wind blew past her and the goddess raised her head to feel it blow against her face and hair. She sighed in content at the cool feeling before opening her eyes once more to look over at the ocean. The crystal beach shores were calm with the lapping of the gentle waves, giving a peaceful feel.

Lightning moved away from the balcony and headed for her chambers.

The shrine was silent with only the light clanking of Lightning's silver goddess armor as she moved. The warrior approached slightly large white doors and pushed against them with a hand, opening the entrance of her sleeping chambers.
The room was elegant; a large bed rested against the white heavenly walls with a single window a few steps away from it.

Lightning walked inside and the doors slid close behind her.

The goddess reached down to the buckle and that held her chest plate in place before sliding it off her chest along with the attached shoulder guards, revealing the skin-tight black sleeveless suit underneath.
A gust of wind blew the drapes of the window upwards, sending a slight chill down Lightning's back. The feeling made her smile slightly.

"I wasn't expecting you here today." She said. A pair of muscular arms wrapped themselves around her waist while a warm tongue ran up her neck.
"I got tired of waiting…" A deep husky voice whispered in her ear before the lips went back to her neck. Lightning leaned her head back and smiled lightly at the visitor, earning a smile back from him. "You always get tired of waiting, don't you Noctis?" Lightning half joked.

Noctis laughed lightly and pulled her body closer to his.

"A demon has…needs. Especially when it comes to…" He licked Lightning's neck and shoulder. "…a goddess." "Flattery won't get you anywhere around here." Lightning stated bluntly. "You hurt me, Lightning. I thought you'd have been expecting me one way or another." Noctis said with a pout, seductively brushing his lips against Lightning's skin.
"You don't seem too offended…" The goddess mumbled, giving her demonic companion a look, making him chuckle. "I can't help that I need to be in you every waking moment of my life."

"Control yourself for a bit, will you?" Lightning groaned.

Noctis smirked suggestively at the warrior goddess. "I hope you're planning to help with that then." "… Maybe. Maybe not." Lightning teased, and Noctis frowned. "You know, I always get my satisfaction one way or another…" The goddess frowned as well. "Like you did with those other victims of yours?"

The demon was silent then placed his head on top of Lightning's. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean it that way…" "No. Sorry. I took it seriously." Lightning said with a sigh.
"But…I meant it when I said that life is dead to me now. I prefer settling down with a goddess than any angel or demon or human female." Noctis said with a smile. Lightning rolled her eyes. "Flattery, like I said before, won't help."

"I'm not flattering. I'm being serious. It's not every day a goddess actually spares a demon's life like you did…" Noctis blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
Lightning moved out of his arms to turn and look at him. His eyes were a darker shade of blue than hers. And his head was covered in a black lion's mane that reached down to the upper part of his muscular chest over his pectoral muscles, just like a lion.

The first time she touched the hair that rested on his chest, it surprised her when she found out that it was actual fur, while the hairs on his head was partially normal human hair.
Ever since then, Lightning had picked up the habit of unconsciously stroking the lion-mane-like fur on his chest.

His demonic form towered over Lightning in an intimidating manner; however, this never unnerved the goddess like it unnerved others.
Noctis had been impressed with her fearless demeanor at the time when they had still been at odds with each other. His human form, however, was shorter and merely a few inches taller than Lightning, but he still towered over her but not as much as his true form did.
On the sides of his head were two white horns, sharp and almost as intimidating as his towering figure. But once again, Lightning never felt fear when she laid eyes on them. Now those very horns were what the goddess uses to double the pleasure he felt whenever they rolled around in Lightning's large bed while they dampened the sheets with their essence and sweat. Lastly was his simple long demon tail.

Noctis raised an eyebrow at her.

"Are you there?" He said, snapping her from her thoughts. Lightning blinked. "Hm?" "You suddenly started fantasizing. About me, I hope." The demon grinned and the goddess rolled her eyes.
"No. I was actually thinking about your horns." A smirk suddenly appeared on Lightning's lips, alerting Noctis that she was up to something.

He moved closer to her, accepting the challenge.

"What about my horns?" He whispered in her ear, purposely brushing his lips against it. Lightning resisted the seductive shiver running down her back.
Boldly, the goddess reached up and touched on of his horns. Noctis tensed and gasped at the sudden contact. Lightning's gauntlet-covered hand gripped his left horn and slid her hand up and down the hard bone.

Noctis hissed and tried not to stumble from the touch. A loud growl-like moan escaped from his throat as her hand brushed against the veins that were at the base of his horn.

A demon's horn was known to be sensitive; like every anatomy between a male's legs, demon horns are like a counterpart that enables the male to feel twice as much pleasure should his bed partner touch them.
The Goddess Lightning had taken advantage of this knowledge whenever they tangled their bodies together on her bed.

Noctis snarled and gripped Lightning's waist tightly as she stroked his horn a little faster. "You're…making me lose my sanity…warrior goddess…!" He hissed, pulling his lover closer to his torso and began rubbing his body up against hers.
Lightning grunted and lifted her free hand to touch his other horn. The demon roared in pleasure and leaned down to bite into Lightning's neck.

He suckled on her skin and licked on the tiny drop of blood that slid down.

The goddess moaned lightly, pleasing Noctis with the sound and making him even more eager to mate with the ethereal woman once more. The dangers and thrill of them bonding despite being of opposing kind and nature excited them both even more than it should.
Noctis gripped her arms and pulled away from her neck to frown at her. "These things…" He lifted her arms to their chest level. "…are getting in the way."

"Do something about it then." Lightning said with a smirk.

Noctis snarled and felt around her gauntlet, impatient with want. Lightning chuckled and slid of the piece of armor from her arms for him, earning a smile from the demon.
He licked her shoulder, running his tongue down to her now bare arm. Lightning watched him as he treated her body with his own brand of care and demonic affection.

She finally released his horns and ran her hands down his fur-covered chest, stroking the lion mane.

A purr slipped out of Noctis before he lifted the goddess up and pressed her against the nearest wall. "You still have no idea what you do to me." He growled seductively, grinding his body against hers. He stopped then looked down between them to frown at the last bit of armor that hung around Lightning's waist.
"Take it off." He demanded with a pout. The goddess rolled her eyes and responded with "Put me down first." She started taking her last bit of armor, along with her feathered sash, off her body, leaving her in her black body suit underneath.

Noctis licked his lips eagerly, feeling the familiar ache between his legs and at the base of his horns.

"Lightning…" He pressed himself against her and ran his hand up the back of her thigh to her exposed backside which the black suit did not cover. "Get in bed…now." He moaned against her neck. Lightning groaned in response. "Shouldn't I be the one saying that since it is my bed?"

"I'm not feeling that patient… It's been too long." The demon sighed longingly and lifted her up, bringing them to her large bed.
As he laid her down, he sniffed at her scent and moaned at the intoxicating smell; it made him feel high with want and passion and he was ready to give all to this warrior goddess beneath him.

Lightning slipped her hand underneath Noctis' tunic, feeling at the mane and muscles that lay under just waiting for her attention.
Noctis' tail twitched anxiously. As if being unable to wait any longer, Noctis rubbed the tip of his tail up and down Lightning's thigh sensually before it came to the spot between her legs. Noctis snarled as he looked down at the black suit she wore. Lightning smirked smugly, not intending to move herself. The demon pouted but it did not charm Lightning in the least.

With a sigh he laid his towering body on top of hers. "You are hurting me Lightning… One way or another, we will be bonded again, you know." Lightning chuckled. "You're just always eager to…be active."
"Can you blame me? It's you after all." Noctis smiled at her warmly, making his lover raise an eyebrow. "… So?" "You really don't appreciate yourself much. In that case, I will have to be the one to show you."

Lightning grunted in surprise when Noctis yanked her legs towards his waist.

"Stop making me wait, Lightning…you know I have to be inside you soon as much as I can." "Is that the only thing that is on your mind? Never mind that you're a demon." Lightning said, rolling her eyes. Noctis laughed warmly. "You know how much I love you, Goddess Lightning. Of course that would be one of the only things on my mind, aside from you."

"I should send you down to the circle of hell where the flatterers lay." Lightning joked, stroking Noctis' mane again. The demon groaned and stroked the tip of his tail against the front of Lightning's entrance but was blocked by her black suit.
"Please take that…thing off. I don't even see how it was even possible for you to put it on! There is no button, no zipper…" Noctis complained. Lightning chuckled. "One thing at a time; that is how it goes when putting this on."

Noctis shook his head and ran his tail up and down her thigh seductively; it always took a while when trying to tame the warrior goddess.

He leaned down and licked the back of her neck lovingly, grooming her with his tongue like a beast did to his mate.
Lightning held still and took in the warm feel of his tongue caressing her skin. The demon purred deep from the back of his throat like a satisfied feline while his tail continued to caress her skin intimately. "…I thought you couldn't wait because it had been too long." She said, giving him a blunt expression. Noctis chuckled and nuzzled her neck and shoulder. "I'm not that impatient." "Right…"

"Now take that…thing off."

"Not that impatient huh?"

"Stop teasing Lightning…"

The goddess rolled her eyes and slipped her black suit off slowly, as if expecting Noctis to memorize the steps so he would be the one to take it off next time.
Indeed, he was paying extreme attention to how she worked with the black garment until it was off her completely, revealing her ethereal beauty to him. No matter how many times he saw her this way, it still felt like something new.

He growled possessively and pressed her down on the bed gently and licked the back of her shoulders, claiming her as territory for him alone to touch.

Lightning moan as his tail slid up and down her thigh once again. Her hand slipped down to his breeches and pulled the clothing down slowly.
The demon snarled in appreciation and pressed his nose to hers, keeping eye contact with her as she took off his last bit of clothing off his body.

He kissed her neck and hovered over her.

Lightning stared up at him silently and watched as with a blink of an eye, his mane shrunk into silky black hair that styled itself into spikes at the back of the man's head.
Noctis' human appearance was just as beautiful as his demonic one. However, his body structure—though still a few inches taller than Lightning—shrunk down to the size of a normal man as well. He pressed his lips to hers.

"I don't want this to feel awkward for you." He said in a quiet voice. Lightning nudged her head against his. "You said that a lot of times already." Her smirk made him blush. "I know it's more comfortable for you when I'm in human form…"

"I don't mind either way." Lightning said with a shrug of her bare shoulders.

Noctis shifted and positioned himself above the warrior goddess. He swallowed nervously; an odd feeling for a demon, a creature that was known to ravage and deflower any beauty their eyes gazed upon. But Noctis always felt different, his opinions differed from the other demons. In his mind, there was no reason for demons and deities like Lightning to fight if they did not want to.

It was this belief of his that he had stumbled upon Lightning. The sight of her intrigued him as he had never come face-to-face with a deity without any intent on killing or attacking.

Lightning caressed his cheek with one hand, bringing him back to the present. Noctis blushed and kissed her forehead before he lowered himself down onto her.
Instinctively he let out a pleasured animalistic growl as he entered her, moving as gently as he could within her.

The warrior goddess moaned and arched her back, digging her nails into his tough skin as he thrust in out and of her. His hold on her body tightened as the passion intensified in them both.
As their paced increased, so did the pumping their beating hearts. Noctis bit down on Lightning's neck, feeling his body come close to the limit.
Lightning pushed him back slightly. "Change back…" She moaned lightly, sweat slid down her head and her body, mingling with his own sweat from the passionate exchanges.
The demon looked at her reluctantly. "Are you sure…?" The goddess leaned up to kiss his lips and Noctis felt himself give in to her desires.

Immediately, his hair grew until his mane returned and his horns emerged from his head and his tail revealed itself. His body grew slightly larger back to its original demonic size.

He roared in ecstasy as he continued to make love to the blinding beauty beneath him. Lightning grunted as he shifted slightly and kissed her lips tenderly.
Noctis nuzzled his nose and lips against the crook of her neck, his mane tickled the goddess' skin. He chanted her name lovingly as she followed his rhythm. "Lightning…" He grunted, feeling close to the edge even more than ever.

The goddess and demon tensed then let out a cry of release at long last.

Noctis collapsed beside his chosen mate, keeping himself attached to her. He purred like a pleasured cat and rolled around on the bed slightly like an animal marking its territory with scent.
Lightning watched him silently until he turned back to her and nestled his body against hers. She hummed in pleasure as he pulled her to his chest.

"My goddess…" He whispered as he nipped at her ear. Lightning reached up and stroked the back of his head in response.

Noctis rolled over and opened his eyes.

He was alone in bed. He sat up and sniffed the air, catching the goddess' scent while he stood up and dressed himself.
Noctis left the sleeping chambers and strolled down the halls of the silent temple, searching for Lightning. He smiled light, knowing where she would be.

He headed for the throne room and sure enough she sat there, sitting on her throne and staring upward at nothing.

The demon approached her silently and climbed up the crystal pillar that held up the throne. He nuzzled her shoulder and neck, bringing Lightning back to the present.
The warrior goddess stroked his hair, returning his affectionate gestures. Noctis pressed a gentle and warm kiss to her temple. "How are you feeling?" He breathed the question in her ear. Lightning shrugged. "Good."

"So…you enjoyed?"

"When do I never?"

"Heh…yes, true."

Lightning turned her head to face him and kissed his lips. Noctis' tail began to wag in appreciation at his mate's loving gesture as he kissed her back. "I love you." He purred against her lips. Lightning nodded and smiled slightly, causing the demon's heart to thunder in his chest. "I love you too Noctis." She pressed her forehead against his and all of a sudden, time seemed to move and stand still at the same time.

This had been held back for a long while just like Desperado. So I decided that it was finally time for this arc to make its debut. I hope you liked this story and tell me what you think because I am very much in the middle of giving this one an actual plotline. It is still under development but currently I am already making up where this story will go.

So as usual leave me some questions if you have any doubts and I will answer them as best as I can in the next chapter I write.

Until then…
